I’m an optimist. Deskauirisisieers is a spry 31 years of age, and he’ll only be 35 when this contract ends. He might be arguably the worst player in the NHL at age 31, but there’s meat on the developmental bone.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Looks like a bargain now if you consider what Columbus just gave Gudbranson

That's better than the Risto deal. Gudbranson even scored more.

If this is real, it's about as stupid as it gets.
Deslauriers was a decent 4LW 3-4 years ago, but he'll be 31 and has been going downhill for years.
I mean you could probably get the same production (or lack of such) from Ratcliffe.

One year at one million might make sense as depth, 4 years at $1.9M is insane.

Are we sure Holmgren isn't running things? This is a Shelley special!

 

[Beef Invictus]

Is there a more useless job than the Flyers analytics department? What do you do all day because its clear management just straight up ignores your advice

It's f***ing amazing how Fletcher finds these players annually. So did Hextall!

Pro scouting needs to be tarred and burned in the arena boilers.

This is why we bought out oskar???

Yes, we are sure Holmgren isn't running things. This is yet another Minnesota connection. Homer doesn't have Minnesota connections. Can you guess who does, and who aggressively pursues them nonstop at all levels?

If Homer were in charge JVR and that first would be gone and JG would be here.

He'll be at prime aged to take over Chris Stewarts Player Development role so that Chris Stewart can become AGM.

The signing that finally broke deady

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fletcher is just turning us into the worst Sabres. We are the Sabres now.

What Minnesota connection?
He was there for 20 games as a TDL acquisition this season.
And he's from Quebec.

I said this recently and I am more sure than ever, a true enemy of the Flyers couldn't have picked a better person to completely destroy the organization from the inside.

I don't even know how this signing is possible in 2022.

Nic Deslauriers for four years at 2/3s of Oskar's bought out value is one of the worst things I have ever seen in the NHL.

F*** this asshole for making me think so poorly of this once proud franchise.

Firing Fletcher today would take years to fix the mess he has built. How do you defend this guy @Ghosts Beer?

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.

[kudymen]

For years I have been reading smug posts about denial re: Voráček or Giroux's career going down as he ages. But ironically, pinning all this shit around on Holmgren is peak denial. Textbook.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Deslauriers and MacEwen are going to ROCK on the fourth line.

OLD TIME HOCKEY!

LIKE EDDIE SHORE!

Oh wait, they just got scored on.

 

[GKJ]

4 years. Sick. He's going to make us great. Former Wild player so he has to

That was obviously post-Fletcher. The connection here is actually that Lombardi drafted him with the Kings in 2009.

 

[wankstifier]

What's his relationship to Kevin Hayes?

 

[freakydallas13]

This is it, this is the move that is uniting the board into hating management.

What a beautiful sight to behold.

 

[AdamParrot]

This is end for me guys. I will not be cheering Philly until Clarke, Holmgren, Fletcher and Comcast aren't fired.

Let's go Senators.

OMG he's 31?

 

[Flyer lurker]

Thumbs up for Flyers fan who predicted Deslauries signing. No one could see 4 years!

 

[Rebels57]

If anyone is down for the Billboard or to take out a full-page ad in the Newspaper...I am absolutely ready to contribute with both time and money.

What's his relationship to Kevin Hayes?

He has a Minnesota connection so he doesn't need one

LIKE EDDIE SHORE!

Oh wait, they just got scored on.

A 4th line with two of them on there will be the worst line in the league.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

A 4th line with two of them on there will be the worst line in the league.

A tradition unlike any other with this franchise.

Luckily fourth lines don't matter.

There's still time to bring back Thompson.
