Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] Keith Yandle signs with the Flyers (1 year, $900k)

[Winston Wolf]

Unless Braun is getting moved, this is absolutely baffling and blocks York and Zamula from getting any NHL time. Par for the course for the Flyers though.

 

[VijayPatel11]

Have fun with your 73% o-zone starting dman who still somehow finds ways to be terrible defensively

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Condolences to all Flyers' fans

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I mean, it's cheap, but it's still Keith Yandle. Flyers have made some really boneheaded decisions this offseason.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

A lot of scapegoats for Flyers fans now. Vigneault + staff, Ristolainen and the price paid (Fletcher), and now Yandle.

 

[rodney dangerfield]

damn people are really piling o the flyers. for once they are actually changing the team up and not icing G jake and ghost for the 6th year in a row expecting different results. risto isnt the 1D. yandle will be on bottom pair. i dont see the big deal. they are better today on paper than they have been since 2012.

 

[Gentle Man]

Great signing

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

This is great.

If there's even a small chance to see Risto and Yandle on the ice at the same time for the entertainment, im all for it.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

The worst defensive player in the entire league goes to Philly

Christ they just don't learn eh?

 

[Pantokrator]

Thank god Pens have Hextall and not Fletcher.

WTF is he even doing?

Why do you have to twist the knife?

 

[SnS]

What the f***. I give up

Hey! We are making moves! Making moves is what the front office wants! It's not about winning games, it's about making moves. Try to understand.

 

[SnS]

So much for York being the 6th D.

 

[sxvnert]

Good low value deal.

They are young. We don't need youth. Get rid of them. Bring in vets. We might make the playoffs! That's what we want! No building for a future chance at the Cup - just try to make the playoffs. It doesn't matter if they make the playoffs, it only matters if you show you are trying. Signing players indicates trying. Hey, Fletcher shows he is trying! All is well.

how are they better today? Yandle is far worse than Ghost defensively, Risto isn’t much better unless he somehow shines away from Buffalo, only Ellis is an actual improvement and he’s undersized.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Fletcher looking into Jack Johnson next.

 

[Accelleratii]

Kevin Hayes has stolen Chuck Fletcher's phone and is bringing in all his BFFs

 

[CapnZin]

Lol the Flyers traded away a 2nd to get out of Gostisbehere's contract and then just signed a worse version of him.

This offseason is definitely a head scratcher for the flyers. Easily worse on paper, but AV is getting what he wants.

Shaye Gostisbehere last year (about 3/4 of the way through) stated that the team had no identity and magically started not to play later on. At that point he had T5 goals for Dmen at that point.

Quite odd

Why do you have to twist the knife?

Twisting the knife would be saying I hope they sign Jack Johnson next.

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

The offseason started extremely poorly for me as an oilers fan, but I can always look at Philly and know it could be worse.

 

[SnS]

Twisting the knife would be saying I hope they sign Jack Johnson next.

it wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I'm going to enjoy watching the Flyer's fans scream ay Yandle and I'm also going to enjoy him getting benched and losing his streak. Good luck Keith you're going to need it! Thanks for f***ing us with your buyout money.

they had haag, gustafson and myers last year in place of them. are u saying the are better? and when you say yes...risto played on the worst team and franchise of the past decade playing 1D minutes. he isnt asked to do that here. also flyers were dead last in goals allowed last year. they literally cant be worse.

 

[izzy]

not really too bad at that amount

shelter on the 3rd pair and let him dominate a powerplay unit
