Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXV: Halfway to Christmas

[Don Nachbaur 26]

I’m dying to know what Fletcher’s plan is if Gaudreau’s not available

Here it is...

 

[Sombastate]

So correct me if I'm wrong, because I want to make sure I bitch accurately:

Myers, Hagg, Ghost, Patrick, plus 7 draft picks for Ellis, Risto and TDA, yeah?

Gotta love people who check their math/facts before bitching.

 

[ellja3]

That is quite a generous use of the word plan

Inevitably reminds me of F1, Alpine and ''El Plan'' and we all know how that is working out.

Narrator: it's not and no one has a clue what they meant

[Hollywood Cannon]

Can’t wait to see what the Flyers next backup plan is.





Bold strategy, I’d be inking that ASAP. Too much to worry about going wrong during a bachelor party to risk it.

 

[GKJ]

Greg Wyshynski RT’d this so I guess this is good. I like waiting for insiders though



edit: well we got one

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Well that’s a bummer. Good for him tho

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Curufinwe]

I’d much rather have JG than FF. His injury history is a bit concerning and goal scorers tend to drop off faster than playmakers.

But I don’t think Nashville should have left him walk. It just sucks for them he had a career year as a UFA. Only Two years ago TK out scored him.

To be strictly fair, Fletcher did manage to get a seventh back in the DeAngelo trade.

Some people just willingly omit this fact. Such trolls

 

[Flyerfan4life]

dude must be so happy to be away from the Flyers....

grats to him...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So the Oilers are switching back to the typical royal blue or whatever home jerseys and the Golden Knights are switching to their gold jerseys?

The world continues to be perfectly balanced.

Yet the idiots running the Flyers still can't figure out that the fans are sick of the neon orange set and want the 90's set back. These things are really hard for smoothbrains like Val Camillo and whoever else is on the business side.

Edmonton needs to bring back the golds.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Edmonton needs to bring back the golds.

Bring back the Macfarlane.

[Flyerfan4life]

Bring back the Macfarlane.

Remember the guy who made Spawn? Yeah, he designed them for the Oilers 20 years ago.

I liked all of the talk after the season that JVR had some kind of actual trade value. LOL. He had & has none. Just like even an expansion team didn’t want him for free.

He’s a horrific, albatross contract. No one wants him even in his last year. And the Flyers will have to pay dearly to rid themselves of it.

Negative value. And hurting the Flyers.

I’m pretty sure that was just deadhead saying that with regards to this off-season.

Or, you know you could just keep him and let the contract play out instead of giving up prime assets to move him?

He's not hurting the Flyers. Ghost wasn't hurting the Flyers either. Neither was Jake. The FO is hurting the Flyers, with their rotten organizational philosophy that's led us to being strapped for cap space, lacking draft picks and prospects, with underperforming veterans, all while being one of the worst teams in the league with no coherent plan for the future.

 

[The Rage Kage]

JVR's contract has one year left. The Flyers are absolutely not going to win the cup next year so burning future assets to free up the contract space one year ahead is such a braindead move. Nothing that Chuck will acquire with that cap space will put the team over the top. All it will do is prolong the mediocrity.
