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

[Magua]

That's what is wrong with me. I understand. There are consequences to that.

Farabee is one of the better 5v5 goal scorers and point getters in the league over a 4 year span. He’s a 24 year old 50 point player, which included a late skid and playing on the worst PP in the league. Instead of seeing how much the PP has harmed overall numbers, they keep the PP coach and look to dump the scant young non-4th line talent. Your Flyers.

(Obviously, anyone should be available. But there’s a distinction between listening and actively dumping.)

But Torts doesn’t like him and, as we all know, that’s what really matters.

Keeping Rocky has to top the list of pure incompetence and should make it clear to anyone on the fence as to what this org is all about.

Keeping Rocky
Extending Lappy
And the soon to be announced re-signing of EJ

The hits just keep coming

This movie spoke to me. I took wanted to drill my head every time I did math

“Max, Max! How will the Flyers be a contender?”

“I don’t know.”

*peaceful look*

Remember when we were told Torts doesn't have a say on the roster....rofl

I’ll never understand how Frost is a 50 point center, Farabee is a 50 point winger, Tippett is a 50 point winger. All within a year of age.

One is an 8 year core player. The other two are franchise detriments not fulfilling their potential.

It is, of course, the immense eye-test difference in their games. While Frost and Farabee only make flashy plays while remaining invisible for most of the game, Tippett can stay quiet for long periods in a game and then flash an incredible play.

I mean, it's possible he doesn't have to, because they only hired people who already agree with him.

This so much.

I wouldn't want to play in winnpeg either.

On the PHLY podcast they discussed a few interesting things regarding DB presser.
-DB mentioned that there are good players to 16 or 17. (I think he means Eiserman amongst others. Makes sense that they will try to move up if a guy slips bc it seems like a good chance someone will if you are thinking BPA over position.)
-Flahr was absent at the presser for travel. The thinking is he is at the Russian showcase in Fla. The rumors of Demidov slipping and the Flyers having a plan to trade up plus being comfortable with the Russian factor. (I think this could be a good way to lead to a TK trade. Maybe for 11 OA+.)

If I could make millions playing hockey I'd play in Antarctica or Haiti. If you're lucky, it might last 10 years of your life.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

To be fair, I wouldn't want to live in like 75% of the cities in the NHL, lol.

If I was serious about making a career out of it, though, I don't think I'd be picky about who was drafting me and possibly getting my foot in the door.

Does it make anyone else laugh that the 1st rounder we got back from the Giroux deal is about the be the worst pick (2nd worse) in the 1st round?

Because *of course* it is, Fletcher. OF COURSE IT IS.

But deadhead and his knowledge of statistics and hockey told me...

No chance the Panthers make it back, last year was just a fluke. They aren't built for another cup run

 

[Random Forest]

And now I guess the McGroarty situation could be indicative of what the Gauthier situation might have been had Briere waited.

I wouldn’t have been mad if a Gauthier for McGroarty+ swap had been the basis of a deal. But I doubt Gauthier would have wanted to sign with Winnipeg either.

 

[Rebels57]

ACNE MATHLETE: Maybe we should prioritize shots closer to the net? We have the furthest shooting distance in the…..

CHAD HAKSTOL: Have you ever played hockey? No? That’s what I thought. Snot and balls, kid, snot and balls.

 

[Perratrooper]

Would Flyers fans consider moving Frost and if so, what would the cost be?

If they do something like Konecny for 11OA + Krebs, i would 100% bank on a trade down from 12.

There are two different discussions being intertwined when they shouldn't be. If you're a 5th rounder, you don't have too much leverage. You hope to sign an ELC with anyone who will have you.

If you're Gauthier or McGroarty, you have tons of leverage. Your first contract functionally writes itself. If you go 22nd instead of 14th, there isn't much that changes for you on the front end and you get the potential upside of going to an org that's better at development and/or NHL level hockey.

I would argue in the latter situation that if you don't go into these interviews with the attitude of seeing if you want to work with these orgs, you're failing yourself. Stop defaulting to hockey pseudoculture. It exists to maximize the league, not you. It's your life. You worked your ass off to get there. Don't put it in the hands of anyone less than the people you find worthy of handling it.

I mean, Rutger McGroarty can and should follow whatever path fits him best. I'm speaking to how I'd feel if I were an athlete. Given that I have the athletic prowess of a cashew, it's all pretty moot.

It is funny that we've seen prospects fall in the draft due to a non-existent "Russian factor" but we won't see NCAA-bound prospects fall due to the very real "College UFA factor"
