Hope this Trashcan on skates gets his face caved in by Reaves and Wilson no less than 5 times this season.

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

wait tilll Yandle returns to continue his Ironman streak..

hahaa

It has to be said again, 31 yo signed to a 4 year deal. I wouldn’t sign most any 31 yo to a 4 year contract. This terrible hockey player will be 35 making almost 2 million a year. Very likely to still be here or at least on the books after Torts, Fletcher, Provy, etc etc. All the while cutting Lindblom out. It’s so nonsensical I would wonder if Fletcher has dementia.

It'll only cost $750 K or so to bury him in a year or two, so it's more head scratching than an outright disaster.

Well yea GMs are not signing Nate Thompsons to 7 year 8 million a year deals.

 

[captainpaxil]

As much as I dislike this move today I have another four years to stay mad about it

 

[Deadpool8812]

I’ve said I don’t like the term or the salary but the first time he beats Tom Wilson to a pulp it will be all worth it.

Why would Wilson even waste his time?

Don't give Fletchet any ideas

Well look at it this way. The GM is almost assuredly being fired this season for his blatant incompetence so try to look on the bright side. Furthermore I simply don't care anymore until he is or wish to even watch a few minutes of this dreck so whatever man. Just run out the clock on this tool bag. He wont be here by the deadline most likely and if not then I can wait longer and watch teams that aren't the opposite of good hockey if I get a hankering for some playoff hockey. Last playoffs were great and I don't even miss the dumbass org anymore. It's like they don't even exist other than being the butt of jokes.

Wilson isn't remotely afraid of Deslauriers. Wilson went after him. That may be their only fight, despite having numerous opportunities for Deslauriers to take him on. What a bad justification that'll never come to pass.

The worst takes every year are "hghghghggggggg we need Some Goon because guys will be so scared of him!" Newsflash, nobody in the NHL is afraid of these guys at all. They don't prevent shit. They don't send messages. Nobody cares. They can just ignore them if they want.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I like how Chuck listed all the guys they want to take a look at this season (the guys that have to go on waivers) while they are going to trot out two of the biggest plugs in the league on the 4th line. Where exactly are these guys going to play?

 

[deadhead]

It makes you wonder if they're overreacting to comments from wealthy box owners (those guys in their 50s) that the Flyers aren't the Flyers anymore - thinking that this kind of moves will endear themselves to the fans that matter - the ones that fill the expensive seats.

 

[dats81]

Just everything is wrong about that signing: absurd cap hit for a 4th liner, can't justify the term and even if someone is stuck in BSB nostalgia way of thinking that remains bad roster building.
You can add a guy like that for 750K on a 1 year deal every year and there is no reason to bid against yourself.

 

[Schwarbomb]

When you have a chance to get a talentless goon that had a career high 15 points 8 years ago you have to do it. This is one of the most appalling transactions that I can remember.

RIP whoever ends up on that black hole of a line with Deslauriers and MacEwen

The writing is already on the wall... it's gonna be Deslaurier - Brown - MacEwen.
It will be an unmitigated disaster.

They just won't.

My brain so read Elliot Desnoyers 4x1.75m or whatever it actually is, and I was like wtf?!? That's not an entry level contract!!!

I'm sad that was the highlight of my day...

 

[YamCork]

Ewww gross. I hate this player.

I thought the same when first told.

 

[Curufinwe]

Seeler might demand a trade…

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ah yes, because plenty of teams were offering more term and value then you've ever received in a contract before...

 

[JojoTheWhale]

"This guy gave me the biggest number." No problem, Nic. It's not your fault they're incompetent. Enjoy the checks.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I'm dead. It's 2022.

How can you constantly drum up BS and try to defend this GM? Chuck actually thinks this a a good move. Northing more.
