Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 2, More Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions: Say It Like You Mean It

[Magua]

A selection of players that scores at functionally the same rate as Farabee at 5v5 over the last 3 seasons:

Alex Ovechkin
Brad Marchand
Timo Meier
Matt Boldy
Trevor Zegras
Valeri Nichushkin

Those are all +/- 0.03 P/60.

Has-beens and malcontents mostly. Say less.

 

[Danko]

All i request is no 3rd/4th line depth players. Thats what the entire team is made of

Flyers participate in three-team trade with Columbus and Los Angeles | Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers have acquired goaltender Cal Petersen, defensemen Sean Walker and Helge Grans and a second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Los Angeles Kings. The Flyers also acquired a first-round pick (22nd overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft and a conditional second-round pick in the 2024 NHL...

Per the Flyers announcement, CBJ must inform the Flyers upon the completion of the first round.

I think Briere said they have to tell him by an hour after the first rounds end. So Friday night likely.

Farabee getting run out of town at a discount to appease the little dictator Torts is so god damn predictable

Makes no sense.

Don't have may LW, Farabee young, cheap and LW, let's trade him !!!
Don't have any centers, Frost, young, cheap and center, let's trade him !!!

Charlie, who went from “I can’t comment on the draft because I haven’t studied anything” on a Friday, to various radio and podcast appearances the following week as “Philadelphia’s own NHL draft expert.” I wish I was making that up

I like Bee and think he still has room for improvement. That said, if a trade is made for good value that fits the MM timeline better, I'm good with it. But I'd have a hard time believing that was their real motivation.

Its sad. I'm excited to see Michkov this year, but I'd actually be more excited to hear TORTS was gone. Of course that also assumes he's not being replaced by Lappy.

 

[BernieParent]

If the headline is "Flyers trade Farabee" and its for picks or spareparts...its a bad trade.

If the headline is like "Flyers acquire Zegras" (just using him as an example) and Farabee is apart of the deal...then im more okay with it.

Bottom line...trading him for an upgrade/younger center is fine. Trading him bc torts doesnt like him is dumb.

I think it is pretty likely that there is a mutual wish for a trade.

Frost is even more predictable. I'll be shocked if he's a Flyer next season

What timeline is that? The here and now as Kay Hanley once sang.

You know the Flyers are going to do something stupid. It's in this team's management's DNA to do something dumb. I fully expect Tortorella will throw his weight around wanting a grizzled veteran that's a third line checker at best and they'll give up a valuable piece because they're "in it to win it.'

They couldn't sell because they were certain the rebuild that never began was definitely not needed anymore. How can you sell Laughton when you're about to need him most of all!?!? God help us if they have the logical voltage on board to reach the obvious conclusion for their awful assessment and go buying.

I don't think the reasoning matters. If we want to rebuild should want to trade pretty much everyone. Farabee is neither a super valuable piece from a trade standpoint nor is he a key to the rebuild staying here. He's a 25 year old winger who was outside of the top 100 for scoring amongst forwards and this was his best season at least from a stats POV. He's a good complimentary player on a good team but not really a cog on a rebuilding team. If we can get something of value for him (e.g., a first, Zegras, big time prospect, etc.) we should do it even if the reason is "Torts doesn't like him."

I think it's going to be a wild few weeks. Could end up being more buzz than substance, but there appear to be a lot of balls in the air for potential Flyers moves.

The Flyers are all about balls so this checks out.

Is nate a free agent for the july 1 grab?

If you mean management thinks the rebuild is over, yea, I wouldn't be surprised.

I wouldn't hate trading Bee for someone younger of equivalent value. I have zero faith they can do that.

If they are making decisions based on dumb reasons, how often do you think they'll accidentally do something good versus doing something dumb?

 

[Curufinwe]

More likely it’s for an older player with more “grit”

Since they’re extending TK to age 36 I don’t think there’s anyway where “timeline” is a valid reason for trading Farabee.

I mean, they've been driving most of us nuts for decades now.

It's not accidental because you dislike the reasoning. If they want to trade Farabee for a 1st because Torts doesn't like him or if they want to trade him for a 1st because they *insert reason you'd be ok with here* the result is the same and both are intentional.

Now, of course if they trade him for scraps or an overpriced guy about to retire, that's a different story.

 

[Hextallent63]

Farabee is one of very few players on the team I would trade I swear to God if they trade him I'm going to be pissed. Zegras has been mentioned a couple times and I personally would rather have fairy on the team then him. The skill players on this team have been in dire need of a coach that will use them properly, it's sickening and it's also why a lot of people under value some players on this team. It's ridiculous how much time Farabee spent on the lower lines, adding to that the power play and players values on this team have been plummeted for f****** years

 

[Boocowski]

There was a rumor going around of Philly being involved with the Ottawa/Boston Ullmark trade so that left me wondering if Torts wants to be reunited with Korpisalo. That would be just like them wouldn't it?

 

[Juicy Pop]

Sign Perry and bench him in the Finals

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Sign Perry and bench him in the Finals

Just don't let him anywhere near Michkov's mom.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Looks like Ottawa’s first is no longer a possibility for a trade up.

 

[Sombastate]

Looks like Ottawa’s first is no longer a possibility for a trade up.

I think if they trade down to 12, 7 is still in play. But they won't trade 7 without a pick coming back

Especially if Boston has retained and Philly gets him for $1,500,000 / four years.
