Confirmed with Link: Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee traded to Calgary for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, 2025 2nd, 2028 7th

Fletcher and AV dug that franchise into a six foot deep hole.

Then Briere and Torts hopped down and started expanding the walls to make sure the full coffin fits.

And it’s all the fault of that guy with the initials B.C., who’s not even a top 50 Flyer of all time.

****ing Braydon Coburn.

@Appleyard guilted me into signing up in order to support him. Let me check it out.

As usual, a whole bunch of nothing being said by our Flyers media personnel. WTF is this guy's point?

Building a good culture means getting rid of some of the most liked players in the locker room. You know… the sole thing Deslauriers was signed for.

But - hey - we don't know what makes EP tick!

IF you can get good value for Risto I can see trading him, sure, BUT I'm not moving him just to move him. The cap is going up and up and so I'd rather live with that contract and have the defensive depth. Last thing we want to do is go back to desperately needing D men like we were when Fletcher traded for him. Defensive depth matters.
So moving him is not a priority imo. He is most definitely not "irrelevant".

They just moved two young top six forwards for guys they could have had for free. Just for the sake of it.

And that's kind of the problem, isn't it? Briere will never get good value. His trade record is horrific. "Oh guess we simply can't make trades" isn't a viable course. So we arrive at what I've said the team needs for years. To fire everyone.

Probably some legendary shit talking going on there.

Just wondering if Tortorella might lose the room here. These guys know the reasons why Frost and Farabee were moved was that the offensive genius, Tortorella, couldn’t find a way to utilize them. They also know that these two players have had differences in public with the coach over the last few seasons. There but for the grace of God go I has to be crossing the minds of a few of the younger guys. Meanwhile the older players carry on with no cares.

Would love for Torts to lose the room.

But the kiss ass loser that Laughton is - don’t know if I’ll be so lucky.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

you get the feeling that York is next on the chopping block.

Well if any of them wants to get out of the philly they dont even need to ask for a trade. All they need is to change their representation to Gauthier's agent and team will take care of the rest lol.

Hart’s best friend? I’m cool with that.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Would be curious who did not attend that goodbye event.

Torts guys

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Hart’s best friend? I’m cool with that.

When I used to have Instagram, I got very baked one night and went digging through York’s and Hart’s content and you could tell both of them were very much frat bros douchebags. Not uncommon in the industry, but just amplified with them.

Anyway, wouldn’t miss him.

So it comes right down to the Flyers trading Frost and Farabee for a 2nd and a 7th. Because both these players are not going to be back.
