Because he f***ing sucks and is worse than what we’ve gotten rid of and worse than our prospects who need to be playing in the NHL.
and now we’re closer to 11M to resign Hart and Sanheim and a backup goalie.

i don't think you understand how much of an anchor yandle is.You raging on a 1 year $900K contract....
massive liability every time he steps on the ice.
you are better off just playing short handed tbh

A fathead cutout of Keith Yandle on a Roomba would be a better 7th defenseman than Keith Yandle.

Because nothing done after the Ellis trade makes any sense.
It’s a god damn joke. This front office is literally putrid.
I hope Couts and G both tell Fletcher to f*** off when he approaches them about contracts. They deserve better.

Man reading all of your comments is cringeworthy. Gostisbehere is a joke. NHL scouting reports came out on him and he vanished, never to return. His little sidestep juke at the blueline was all he had. Just not cerebral enough to adapt and I'm glad he's gone.
Analytics are good indicators, but they don't tell the whole story.
The cost of this signing should tell you all you need to know about what kind of role Yandle will have on this team.
The Flyers gave up assets for Risto and to rid themselves of Gostisbehere. But please, you all are acting like they sold the farm and then some. Draft picks are a gamble anyway and they received a top 4 RHD for it. Top 4 RHD, price is already inflated. So the Flyers have accomplished a few things...
Cap relief...
Upgraded their top 4...
Got a shoot first guy in the top 6...
Changed the culture of the team...
And I feel obligated to say this for the upteenth time, Ristolainen is a work in progress with room to grow and develop. The Sabres are a very poor measuring stick for any talent evaluation. HF people acting like he's not able to perform at a high level in an improved environment. Honestly, I'm starting to think you're all just jealous our GM is swinging for the fences and yours isn't!

The worst part of this contract is the negative publicity the Flyers are gonna get when Yandle inevitably sucks complete donkey ass and they have to snap his precious ironman streak.
Yall just got yourselves a 900K headache.

900k vs 4.5M
Zero risk signing, great deal for his veteran presence and locker room presence alone

Yeah. It’s embarrassing. Ghost traded because he’s an anchor and then we get Risto and Yandle.
LMFAO.

Was Hextall's 30 year rebuild strategy any better?
There's a business side to the game as well and under Hextall there was a drop in revenue and attendence...not to mention the weird toxic culture he brought into the organization.
Under Hextall you would have seen Hakstol here forever.

The risk there is that Yandle is ass and AV will likely overplay him.

He’s a crybaby bitch who only cares about his iron man streak. And he flat out blows at this stage.
What happened? They panned out great...
Provorov - 1D
Sanheim 2nd pair guy
Ghost- far exceeded 3rd round expectations
Myers - undrafted was just used to get Ellis
York is still a top prospect
I'm confused what your point is?

The Vet presence is going to teach the kids how not to fight for the puck, and preserve pointless streaks. Like iron man.

You are delusional if you think his contract is one of the top 5 problems with the Flyers roster.

I don’t think Risto is a top 4 D. And you’ve been anti-Ghost so I can’t even debate with that.
This isn’t swinging for the fences. This is acquiring mostly junk and not improving.
Still mad over the Selke? I would be too when I blurted out nonsense. Join me in the corner.

You mean the left handed dmen that are still on the team? The ones that aren’t yet NHL ready I’m not sure what you’re getting at considering we never had rhd prospects minus myers, yandle is a depth signing for if york or Zamula can’t take the work load
