Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXV: Halfway to Christmas

[BrindamoursNose]

We can't overpay for DeBrincat now

Excellence.

 

[Appleyard]

So...

Risto deal was basically only marginally less than what DeBrincat went for.

lmfao.

Literally came here to post your own tweet



How does anyone see this transaction and not want to drag Fletch out of his office like YESTERDAY?

lmfao.

I'm told this is a minor mistake, and the only one Fletcher has ever made.

 

[Sombastate]

I'm told it was actually the right move. So, someone is lying!

Good news is nobody doubled down on that move with an extension, i.e. after wasting assets also effectively wasting cap space.

I believe the cool kids call that good management.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Debrincat also is not a pending UFA (close with his bridge deal expiring) so if they can't extend him, they can trade him next summer or at the deadline.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Can’t wait to be told that the Ghost deal has nothing to do with Risto for the thousandth time of which has no basis in reality.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Davidson is a joke

There is no defending this trade

 

[Curufinwe]

If they are going full re... build, then I guess you gotta take the best offer that gets made before the draft.

Philly apparently wouldn't move #5+, and NJ wouldn't move #2.

But did you factor in that the Flyers were poor defensively?

Just trade the picks and go home.

Imagine knowing that we gave up #36 just to dump Ghost, with #39 being the 2nd most valuable piece to get DeBrincat.

What a nightmare Fletch is.

[bennysflyers16]

Pens won't go past 3 years for Shrek but they give Letang that deal,,,

Hexy truly is also really bad at his job.

 

[Hurricane28]

I actually don't hate that deal for Pittsburgh. Given it is Pittsburgh, it will probably work out.

I will never forget just softly saying "but he's a rental" out loud about a dozen times in a row. That well and truly broke my brain. I thought there was more coming because it just couldn't be the case.

I was in complete denial Jojo. My dumbass thought Reinhart was coming too.

I’ll never forget the time that you dropped the knowledge on us after making some deductions that the Flyers were the ones giving up the 2nd with Ghost instead of receiving one.

That was a good time.

You have no f***ing idea how much worse it could be.

EDIT: Complaining about trading a guy who is due a massive contract during a stretch where your team isn’t going to be competitive, for a top 10 pick and the ability to tank for a generation prospect? Our f***ing moron GM just gave up a similar package for a defenseman who can’t even tie his own f***ing skates and then gave him a 5x5.


I’m almost speechless

 

[Starat327]

I don't know why people are so upset over the Flyers not having draft picks. The Avs just won the Cup without them.

Maybe Sakic will luck Into some extra picks just like he did that entire team.

 

[deadhead]

I'm glad they didn't get DeBrincat, he'd be a perfect fit in Toronto, however.
High priced scorers who can't get out of the 1st rd, of course, for him that would be a huge leap.
