Friedman said he bet that sequence got all the nipples hard in the Detroit management suite. :laugh:
Should have hit with the "too small"

Flyer fans love to whine, but imagine if you're a Preds fan.
99 points last year, so they add Stamkos, Marchessault and Skjei.

1-5-2 (beat the Blackhawks 3-2)
Forsberg (30) 4x8.5
Stamkos (34) 4x8
Marchessault (33) 4x5.5
ROR (33) 3x4.5
Josi (34) 4x9
Skjei (30) 4x7
L Schenn (34) 2x2.75
Saros (29) 8x7.75 starting at age 30
$8.8M retained next season, $3.6M in 2026 and 2027

They do have (3) 1st rd picks in 2025 and (2) 2nd rd picks
But how do you move those veteran contracts?

I always love being told, in a 32 team league, that we should feel better as a fanbase because someone has screwed up somewhere in the vicinity of where we have, especially when using a small sample size to boost the proof. Makes me feel much better about my favourite team being a floater in the toilet for so long.

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.

If I have time I bet I can tie it all back to the consequences of signing Leighton as starter in 2010 offseason

The worst ripple effect trade of this century was trading a 1st round pick for Steve Eminger, allowing the Capitals to draft John Carlson, a hall of fame right handed defenseman that we were looking for. If anyone is still here from that day, that was 10x as visceral as passing on Buium. They later went all in to Pronger and after he got hurt, are still chasing that one.

Hated that immediately and yelled at the tv, especially when a rival drafted the guy I wanted with the very next pick. Just awful.
