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

[DancingPanther]

Attaching draft picks when getting rid of him only to sign a far worse player certainly doesn't help the rebuild either

Then trading their top prospect for a lesser version of Ghost definitely doesn't help

Calling Drysdale a lesser version of Ghost is like calling me a lesser version Drysdale

I don't think keeping Ghost would help the rebuild.

3rd pair pp1 QBs are luxury items, not building blocks.

Inconsistent middle six wingers are also a luxury, but the Flyers just signed one to an 8 year contract.

So much for rebuilding.

Pretty sure you're more effective for your team.

a lesser version Drysdale

I’d hate to see what that looks like.

Zach Hyman with no points in 7 games so far

Last season he had 54 G and 23 A in 80 games

While Fletcher was throwing away millions on Angelo in summer 2022, the Caps signed Dylan Strome to a 1 year deal at $3.5m. Since then he has scored 141 points in 169 games and won 51% of his 2,505 faceoffs. And he's currently in the 2nd year of a 5 x $5m deal at age 27.

God the Flyers are a dumb team.

Still think Hagg is better? Or are you willing to admit that was an erroneous take?

When I think of Ghost...it's just mind blowing they paid to get rid of him all while adding Gus, Yandle, ADA, and now Drysdale in an attempt to replicate what they already had. And so far have failed.

Oh...and it has cost us #5 overall pick in Gauthier, 2nd, a 3rd and a 4th. (2 other 2nds cancel each other out)

Great asset mgt. Stupid Hextall.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I definitely wanted to invest in a Strome rebound. That should have been a no-brainer for any “rebuilding” team.

Holmgren's fingerprints.

He hired CF, and was probably (along with Clarke) behind hiring AV - they're not giving him a 5x5 contract if Holmgren doesn't green light the move.

AV wanted Voracek and Ghost gone, with that contract, and the best finish in a decade, he had the leverage to get his way.

Holmgren brought in Bill Zito to be interviewed who he knew through USA hockey. Fletcher worked for Clarke. Not hard to figure out who pushed for Fletcher to be hired.

League worst PP since they booted out Voracek and Ghost because they clashed with AV.

Kind of a crazy stat - the Flyers are only up 77 goals on the PP since the start of the 21-22 season. 103 goals scored and 26 SHG allowed. The next worst team is Montreal and they are up 94 goals!

Could argue it started the chain of events that cost us drafting Buium too (we don't need Buium, we already have Drysdale!)

Worst Flyers trade of the last 2 decades when you account for the ripples it caused, pretty easily.
