Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCI: Bring Your Own Mustard

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, I have no idea why Hayes is being compared to ROR. Their contract situations are not even close.

JVR is the UFA forward we need to trade.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I don’t think the Leafs trade for RoR if he still has term left. The Leafs are covering 25 percent of the money owed to him. Good luck getting that for Hayes. It’s really not a good comparable.
Chuck is to stupid to work a trade like that anyway with all the moving parts.

Plus he admitted these types of trades are hard

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Toronto also got Acciari, and ROR didn’t have trade protection.

Giroux has had a better career, but has never had a playoff run like ROR did in 2019.


3 years ago they were a top 10 team heading into the playoffs when Covid hit. St Louis are missing the playoffs and trading off their UFA vets. That’s not similar to where the Flyers were in 2020.

Yes but giroux also hasn't had a strong team around him either but giroux has made the Stanley cup finals once

 

[Ghosts Beer]

STL got a better haul for ROR than we did for Giroux....

LOL. Just stop.

Meanwhile the Flyers are currently getting cold feet over the thought of trading Nick Seeler.

I think that one is all Torts. He gets off on glue guys. Chuckles is probably scared to death of him and doesn't want to piss him off by trading one of his pets.

Guys, the hurricanes get to play outside today.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think like a decade or so ago even amongst American players there was a narrative that elite players go to the CHL. But as guys like Eichel, Werenski, Larkin, Connor, Makar, etc. went the NCAA route it proved talent is talent regardless of what path it goes. So now you’re seeing more elite American players go to the NCAA opposed to CHL. After Makar you’re even seeing more Canadians give that route more consideration than before.

[Rebels57]

He actually mentioned Fletcher as one of the idiots he was referring to.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It continually blows my mind that teams that have won the Cup in this decade of the Flyers winning 1 round are drafting a lot more than the "rebuilding"
Flyers.

It's almost like they're not rebuilding at all

 

[Beef Invictus]

LOL. Just stop.

Why should he stop telling the truth? Because the GM you are more loyal to than you are to the team did a bad job and you don't want to be reminded of that?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The Blues played the Avalanche arguably tougher than the Lighting, Oilers, or Predators did just last year.

The Flyers still in their heart of hearts believe 2020 was real and not an aberration.

Great well run organization worthy of much praise.

I wonder if it is the same person who said...

the following in the Deslauriers signing with NTC thread

I told everyone I'd give him one more summer.

Right now, he's losing my faith. I kind of like having Deslauriers, but they need a bigger move than they've made (though I am in favor of DeAngelo).

I'm hoping they've got some more irons in the fire. But the patience I've given Chuck, yes, starting to wane unless something changes.

or the following in the Artem Anisimov PTO thread

Laughton can handle 3C.

The problems are 1C and 2C.

Hayes is a 2C who's going to be a 1C.

And they don't have anyone at 2C unless Morgan Frost takes a gigantic leap.

or in the Roussel PTO thread

Roussel will add to the intensity of the camp. You know he's going to be battling his ass off trying to earn a spot. Everyone's going to have to be on high compete to win their roster spots.

Probably not.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Makar may have gotten another concussion.

Cool.

He lied.

Cool.

Bob Clarke just went on record that the team wanted Heiskanen.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Leafs look well balanced, but their success in the post season will undoubtedly come down to goaltending surviving the Tampa-Boston gauntlet... and that only gets them half way.

 

[Curufinwe]

The playoff system is garbage.

 

[Amorgus]

What's the record for overturned goals one game? Stars have two so far.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The playoff system is garbage.

RIVALRIESSSSSSSSS

Prayers up for @Captain Dave Poulin if he’s watching this.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Stop me if you've heard this one before, the Washington Capitals are getting shit-kicked and are starting to goon things up.

I just turned it on. What happened?
