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

I think it was more CF not wanting to commit to paying real money to a 35 year old wing.
At that point, CF couldn't figure out if he was coming or going.

It made sense not to bring him back if they were starting to rebuild, but it made no sense not trade Risto or to trade for TDA.

Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

Probably because he wasn’t rebuilding and that’s just made up fantasy in your head to absolve shitty decisions.

Of course he wasn't rebuilding, his boss (Scott) was adamant that they weren't rebuilding.
It wasn't until Torts said it the word was even mentioned around the Flyers offices.

This is the 2nd year of Briere's rebuild, his decision to move assets into the 2025 draft (trading #32 for Edmonton's 1st for example) makes it clear they don't expect to seriously compete until 2027 or 2028.

So then he wasn’t trying to figure out if he was coming or going and just made stupid decisions when building a team that was trying to win.

Signing and acquiring bad players when attempting to compete is bad management. Not signing good players is bad management.

Trading that pick has zero to do with when they think they will compete.

They are “ rebuilding “ they are just playing the long game version

Tortorella has also never been rebuilding.

The reason you have to contort the facts so severely to fabricate a rebuild, is that there has never been a rebuild.

Meltzer is moving on from HBuzz, so zero point going there anymore.

Man was fun reading Bill on Hbuzz when he wasn't a complete shill. Haven't been there in awhile

I still check in, he might be on the payroll but he does a decent job covering the team. Now, yeah, probably no need to dive into Ek’s cesspool anymore.

He is the only beat on the payroll to say anything even slightly critical of the team at this point, especially against Torts.

He was always more open in the comment section on that site at least.

Yeah, he would casually drop some bombs there once in a while.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I never knew how one could work at site like Eklund’s & then also work for an official team site in the same field.

I’m not saying he partook in it but the dichotomy of Meltzer working for a website who’s main driving force was making up bullshit rumors to driving traffic to the site which sometimes included the team that also employed was always interesting to me.

@VladDrag It’s early, but this is interesting.

My prayers to Joe Pesci have finally been answered
