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"

At least Homer signed Shelley because he scored a couple goals.

f*** this team. Anyone defending this can f*** off as well. It’s a goddamn disgrace what has happened to this team. What a f***ing laughing stock we have become

Between MacEwen and Deslauriers, I hear the team is saving money on the stick budget for next season.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

4 f***ing years!!!!?????

What makes it worse, is not only is he a 5x5 liability and getting worse, he's a marginal PK guy.
At least if he was a top PK guy there would be some value.

I just had the thought that this is way worse than the Weise contract in 2016. Then I saw that Weise is only 33 years old today. Deslauriers will be halfway through his contract by then.

That can't be right....

Holy crap, it is right.

This is the number Chuck negoatiated down to? What did he start at, 5x5?!

 

[GKJ]

Number is actually 1.75 AAV



I'll calculate the buyouts as soon as it's up

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!

sounds more like Clarke trying to resurrect the "Dan line"

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

4 years. What the hell is he thinking.

 

[FLYguy3911]

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.

1.75 AAV. I stand corrected.

You're forgetting the full NMC

I highly recommend reading the replies

I implore you, if you need a laugh on a sad day, scroll through the replies to this tweet, and be thankful you're not the Flyers Social Media Intern. 'How's the response to our signing of Nic," said Chuckles. 'Uh, sir, I'm not sure you should look...'

When do they begin the "garsh, why are fans so mean?" propaganda blitz?

Don't be cruel. Goofy could run this team far better

 

[Magua]

I forgot about this. Forget that analytics shit. This is why he was signed. Not a pair of jorts in the executive suite made it out intact.

 

[FLYguy3911]

delete.

Signing a 31 year old 4th liner with minimal hockey skill to a 4 year contract.....YUP
