NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[Hollywood Cannon]

We traded him b/c end of deal and got a good return.
Why would a rebuilding team resign him?
It's amazing he's managed to maintain his level of play, but made no sense for the Flyers.

The Flyers weren't in their "rebuild" when they chose to not entertain the idea of re-signing Giroux that offseason.

 

[deadhead]

I got a lot of heat for opposing moving him out.

He was coming off a severe knee injury and spent the next season in the AHL.

So?

Correct. They were actively trying to contend.

While you're here, do rebuilding teams hold onto and sign the Rasmus Ristolainen's of the world to long term contracts?

So Fletcher was rebuilding despite the unshakeable mandate from above to compete?

Does that mean we're more than two years into the rebuild?

Fletcher suffered from cognitive dissonance.
Couldn't figure out if he was coming or going.
Then he was gone.

He's not the only one.

3 years away from 3 years away...

Interesting as collaboration was the theme word when Chuck was here.

Also interesting as 95% of the FO remains post his firing.

You can’t put the blame on Chuck, and conveniently ignore the rest of the scumbags still employed.

 

[kudymen]

I know he's only made one mistake but being unable to read the room sounds like a bit of a mistake as well if you are a general fing manager

oh but he can...

No, they just extend the Garnet Hathaway's of the world a year before their current contract expires.

 

[kudymen]

No, they just extend the Garnet Hathaway's of the world a year before their current contract expires.

And put clauses there to limit their flexibility

 

[DancingPanther]

How does Fedotov have a higher AAV than Stolarz on the same term? is the question I can’t wrap my head around. He was +20 in goals saved above expected on the Cup winner!

If we're being honest, probably because close to the majority of Fedotov's AAV is going right to the Kremlin

 

[Curufinwe]

Trading three picks for Angelov and giving him 2 x $5m is the ultimate rebuild move.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It's just good to now know that Fletcher sucked at making a contender AND sucked at rebuilding.

Impressive for only making one mistake.

 

[Curufinwe]

Kind of cool if working for the Flyers was the last coaching/GM stop for AV and Fletcher. Thousands of games between the two of them.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Is it someone spooky?

What a good guess.

I also bring you two pieces of bonus content. One, my brilliant and wonderful wife is wearing her Ghost Bear hoodie today. Two:

I simply adore the ability of the Flyers to almost always sell as low as possible

Interesting how the Flyers mark so many career last stops in general

 

[kudymen]

It's probably "because Couturier, Giroux and Gostisbehere"

Ah man how all those years of "ship out the players! We already changed the coaches!" worked out so well

 

[DancingPanther]

Man, crazy. I wonder what factors influenced this curve

 

[Curufinwe]

It's a work of art compared to the Flyers defensive shitshow
