Same energy as trying to trade into the top 3 every year. Laugh worthy substance.

Just need the Adelson’s to buy a NHL team and we’ll be cooking.

What center do they think they're looking for?

Why would that center want to sign here?

What could they even trade to force an already captive center to come suffer in the glue mines?

 

[Beef Invictus]

They're going to use half the cap space to give Cates 6.5-7 million for 6 years aren't they? Then they're going to say "the center we were looking for was here all along!"

Unless they think they can get Pettersson (ship probably passed now), Rossi, McTavish or Johnston...

then there really are no Cs out there that seem likely. And tbh probably only 1/4 of those guys end up available.

Unless they mean signing Tavares ahahaha.

I mean, Frost is arguably the 4th best C going into RFA this summer!

So there is probably what, an 80% chance they haven't even looked at the list of available FA's and sorted by "C", right?

They’re the Flyers. Everyone wants to come here and all of their players are great. Except for the ones that they belittle.

That’s their thinking.

Big contract for dream big boy 1C Trent Frederic!

Sign Cates top it off with Drouin signing and the c's are SET!

Hey Danny

They’ve definitely sorted by “C.” Unfortunately, “C” stands for culture.

When you're on a path, the same path you've been on for years, maybe that path leads to nowhere? Just a thought.

Is it the same though? That's the philosophical point of debate really isn't it? The negative crew says it's all the same and the optimists see differences. You can't know which side is right until a few years go by.

If we are not a decent and rising playoff team in 2027 I will accept and admit that I was wrong, but I think we will be.

Yes it is the same. Pretty obviously so, too.

I don’t know how anyone can watch how this management team operates and expect them to be a contender in two years. Unless you really believe in parity wildly swinging in their favor or something.

They do not have a plan. They’ve named a half dozen teams they want to model themselves after. They stated they were going to build from the blueline out. Now they are hard for a “1C”. They are just chasing trends.

Danny spilling the beans on their plans fits perfectly with their negotiating mantra of "everybody wins."

It's funny that they believe this and don't realize they are, in fact, the losers.

Chasing trends is giving them too much credit. They’re trying to fill the roles that they’ve always believed are required to build a team.

Just get in and anything can happen baby!

Edit: That's the delusional fans, but could also be the plan from this management group.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Kuzmenko has skill but is slow and doesn't hit. Zero chance Torts and Rocky are able to squeeze any sort of production from him.

Though I do expect them to have a Cambo level infatuation with that Pallette dude.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Man, I really hope they keep not scoring .
