Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCI: Bring Your Own Mustard

Good Lord. Our Division is stacking up and we havent even begun to rebuild.

Ya can we just f***in leave the metro dude. This is just the worst. Even bedard won’t fix this. We need like 3 bedards, a whole new front office, revamped defense…this is seriously bullshit

No, this is the best. Anything that makes the Flyers look worse, with no plausible path to a playoff seed for a decade, is the best.

An already powerhouse in the league adds this to their lineup now.

Hughes 2.0 waiting too.

 

[Magua]

Torts said we're like the Devils a few years ago, so I wouldn't fret.

Can you imagine if they took Cooley instead of Nemec? It's ridiculous that this team JUST got the 2nd overall pick.

we haven't even thought about thinking about starting to think about starting a rebuild

Tortorella himself doesn’t even believe that.

It's going to be awesome when eventually the Flyers get on the right path, only to be dug a hole so deep that it will take too long to claw out of, patience will run out, and then we will just repeat this all over again.

Devils got Timo apparently

lukily we arent the devils....

oh wait..

true, time to rack up top 5 picks. Just wish we could this year smh

 

[Beef Invictus]

Poile is confusing. He did fantastic at dmen, obviously. He did great for someone with barebones resources most of the time.

But their forward drafting is abysmal. This man's chief legacy, more than anything, the defining figure of his career...is Marty Erat.

 

[Beef Invictus]

And pathetically with far more at his disposal, Poile ran laps around Fletcher.


I expect Trotz to fail.

 

[flyerslducks]

This is just awesome. However, one team will retain what they traded for while the rangers could lose tarasenko and kane

 

[Magua]

The nutty thing is the Devils, provided they sign Meier, are at the infancy of their contention window and should only improve. They're set up perfectly to contend while the old guard gets erased from the picture.

You aren't seeing the long game this FO has planned that will come to fruition when this year's draft crop are signing their second UFA contracts.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I hate Drew Doughty as much as the next guy but that’s disgusting.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They’re piece mailing these trade details on twitter right now. So far the Sharks are retaining 50% of Meier’s contract & Scott Harrington is going back to NJ with him.

 

[flyerslducks]

Hughes, nemec, Meier, shakir, Casey…just unfair. They are stacked and they have no bad contracts yet

 

[Young Sandwich]

I hate Drew Doughty as much as the next guy but that’s disgusting.

The Ultimate Act of Disrespect.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

At this point, I just like to see well-run teams get rewarded.

I still can't believe they basically turned Kulikov into Siegenthaler with two trades in the span of 24 hours.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The people running the Flyers don't think they do anything differently quality-wise than NJ and Carolina or any competent team so they truly must be baffled at how bad the results are. They certainly aren't smart enough for introspection

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[Cody Webster]

Can't really get over how crazy it is to be sitting on the sidelines with all of this action going on

Don't you worry, things don't begin to heat up until the week of the trade deadline. Cuck has plenty of time. He's still going over his options

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

How many of these otherwise Death Star-sized contenders are weak in net? A good GM could turn Hart into practically anything in this arms race. Or your team could just let the same c*** sit there twiddling his thumbs. Same diff.

 

[flyerslducks]

If fletcher was the devils gm, you think he would give up nemec or hughes for Meier lol?
