NAK just signed for Toronto for one million for one year. That’s half as much for a quarter the length for an infinitely better player.

Just in case we all didn’t feel bad enough.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Again, you literally could hire someone who’s purposely trying to destroy the franchise as GM and it would look exactly like Fletcher. It’s absolutely surreal in the worst way possible.

You guys thought it took years to get out of Homer’s mess and Hextall had a tough job to inherit? We ain’t seen nothing yet.

I’m absolutely obsessed with this deal. I’d love to know who we were negotiating against, why we needed to do it on day one and who was batting for him in the scouting department. The total lack of logic fascinates me.

The Flyers really bitched about Lindblom being too expensive for a fourth liner then went out & did this deal.

Chuckles saw his reflection and had to outbid the guy trying to get him.

Makes about as much sense as desperately wanting to get rid of Ghost because of his size and D then seeking out Tony D.

They’re consistent at least. Again, in the worst way possible.

A while ago I suggested that Fletcher mixes his inbox and outbox up so he keeps having to outbid this other guy who keeps matching his new offer all the time. It was a joke when I said it, but… I don’t know man. It’s f***ing mental.

I’m not saying he’s intentionally destroying the entire organisation, but he’s doing exactly what that person would do.

IT'S ONE MILLION AAV CHEAPER!

 

[tictactoe]

Hit well.. but why 4 years?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

**** it, re-sign Nate. Deslauriers-Thompson-MacEwen 4th line. Inject it into my veins.

 

[The Rage Kage]

I just dont understand in what universe even the worst GM ever thinks of making this move

 

[bennysflyers16]

600 k less than Oskars new deal !!!

We are actually going to ice a worse lineup than last year .

 

[orangecrush8]

I feel nothing. I just want my favourite team back.

Chuck Fletcher is an embarrassment.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

F*** you, Nicolas.

 

[Curufinwe]

Probably a better player than this guy, but a lot more expensive

oh, I'm saying it. Its the only thing that makes sense

 

[Pantokrator]

I love how we have a GM who just repeats all of the mistakes as his mentor.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Wait, is this the plug that Seeler fought ????

Wait, is this the plug that Seeler fought ????

Torts told Marek that the Seeler-Deslauriers fight was brought up during his interview process and given "high marks".

These are quotes from Torts....

"I think there's some problems within the locker room that we have to fix"

"...one of my big responsibilities I think, is to get some personality back with the team, and have it a tough place to play, a tough team to play against"

"Are we gonna solve all our problems with scoring goals and all this.... w-w-we're gonna try"

(Regarding Seeler getting respect from the Flyers organization for fighting Deslauriers)
"Even in the process of interviewing, that story's been brought up, and uh gets high marks"

"That Nick Seeler story was brought up to me a couple of times when I've been in Philly"

Cute that you think Deslauriers is gonna be on the 4th line.

Scott promised us a man of action. Mission accomplished.

Just when you think things can't get worse, they drop another bomb on you.

Is it too much to ask for ONE savy move that makes me have some faith they know how to build a proper team? Maybe Johnny wants to come here for some reason, but they will forever have a capped ceiling if this is how they are going to work the margins. They would need several savvy moves to be a contender. Not a chicken's dick chance.

And how tf does everyone know what the team is going to do weeks in advance? No wonder this guy is such a shitty negotiator. He negotiates against himself.
