Oh god though Peak Fletcher would be playing Frost between those slobs and then blaming him for the line being bad, so he loses him on waivers and grows into his potential elsewhere while the 4th line gets even worse. Perfect

 

[ajgoal]

I just can't.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I legit didn’t know this bum played for so many teams. I thought he was just on the Wild

Nothing like getting into a bidding war for a face puncher in the year of the lord 2022.

Chuck always gets his guy.

Not watching one second of this crap this season

I mean he returned a 3rd at the deadline so I'm sure there were other teams interested in him.

Please note that this isn't a defense of the signing or an attempt to argue that he is worth a 3rd round pick.

Damn it feels good to be the newest sens fan

When the Flyers are sucking ass in January Chuck and friends will be perplexed why are we still bad. They just don’t f***ing get it. They refuse to get with the future of the way the game is played. They have been lapped by everyone in the league.
I know not everyone is a fan of Torts but he has little to no chance with this roster.

The most frustrating part for me isnt that Chuckle f*** is an ignoramous. Its that he just keeps getting away with it and no one will put an end to it. I just dont understand.

 

[BernieParent]

Believe it or not, Fletcher specifically highlighted Deslauriers as a PKer in the presser.

Fletcher's evaluation logic is Sir Bedevere level:



"Nic is big and he doesn't score a lot of points ... so ... he must be great on the penalty kill!"

 

[Boxscore]

This could be the worst signing in hockey history. Re-signing Braun TWICE as a UFA gives it a run for its money though. This is great though lmao...

This might be the worst contract the Flyers have ever given out. Jody Shelley territory

Worse. At least there was fighting in hockey when Shelley played.

The sad part is that this bum got a 3rd at the deadline and Cuck couldn't get a single thing for Oskar. What's that tell you about Cuck?

 

[GKJ]

I most remember Deslauriers for beating up on Gudas and then going after noted pugilist Jakub Vrana about five seconds later

Oh, and he got absolutely walloped by Oleksiak that one time.

Typical Buffalo Sabres garbage that’s always defined that organization.

 

[04hockey]

Clarke is the worst thing that has ever happened to this franchise.

That he thought to himself "If I get Deslauriers, who was worth a 3rd last trade deadline, for free this year in free agency, I can give Oskar away for free, and it's like I got a 3rd for him"? [this is facetious]

 

[flyersnorth]

I just don't understand in what universe it's a good idea to hand out 4 year contracts to 12th/13th forwards.

 

[bov]

He'll be a Reaves type for the Flyers, likely better. Torts will know how to use him effectively (relatively speaking). The guy knows how to forecheck, cycle and I believe has killed penalties in the past too. One of the toughest guys in the league, it's a damn shame to see how far Philly's fanbase has fallen when you have people acting like this contract is a big problem.

1.75 for an established 4th liner, big f'n deal. And did I just read someone say it might be the worst contract in the league? JFC, get a hold of yourselves.

 

[kudymen]

I just can't.

Actually, I think you can center that guy

 

[Danko]

Ryan Reaves blows. It's 2022. The guy had a career high of 15 points EIGHT SEASONS ago. He's 31 years old. This isn't some up and comer. We know what he is and he got paid more term and more money than he's ever received in a contract.

If you don't think this is a horrid contract then it's time for you to realize that you're in the year 2022.

This guy is a dime a dozen and they actively sought him out and paid him, gave him term, and gave him a NTC.

 

[kudymen]

and gave him a NTC.

WHAT??????????

(If thats a joke, it says something about me actually thinking Fletcher would do that; if its not a joke, well.. nothing. Silence.)

It's a 20 Approved Team NTC for the first couple years, I think.

 

[deadhead]

Well, PEB isn't much of a scorer, when you're evaluating 4th line types, other factors come into play, or why the AVs resigned Cogliano and let NAK walk for the same money.

However, there is little evidence that Deslauriers has those redeeming qualities, he's not a fast forechecker who can wreck havoc, he's not a top PK guy, other than fighting he's basically a physical LW with average speed and below average skills.
