I don’t really want to be a team FA’s line up to go to. Those are where the biggest mistakes get made.

Draft well and start winning games and the destination thing fixes itself.
Draft well? They are incapable of doing that. 3rd line forwards and bottom pair Dmen is this team’s specialty

Hoping that the JJ logic is right and TK is headed out soon or at the deadline. The longer there is no deal the more it feels like a trade is coming.

What does it matter, Demidov is better, Montreal fans even feel the need to invade our board to let us know, it's not insecurity, they just wanna let us know, just incase we didnt know!

Could be and show he values the bag more than winning at this stage. He has already made a nice chunk of change. gonna get another 50 + million minimum. Just baffles me why he would want to stay after what 10 years of losing and treading water with no hope in sight.

I don’t think trying to force a trade away from this organization shows valuing money over winning. It shows the opposite. TK is just setting himself up to come out on top no matter the outcome. Either he moves to a better organization or he gets paid big by these nitwits.

If TK is traded they won’t get full value for him. Because Flyers

If he really wanted to win, he would say testing free agency. I do not see him trying to force a trade by asking for 10 million. He and his agent know the Flyers are not smart negotiators. They realize they have a good shot of getting it or very close seeing how the Flyers operate.

They definitely won't get as much value as they could have trading TK last offseason.

I was up late working on my little Flyers screeds last night and saw this come across, so I skipped through it for a bit. JJ walks back his $10m comment all the way, says it was offhand and he really doesn't know, refers to a potential extension as "8, 9, 10 million..." after that.
Also spends a lot of his time bloviating about how fans have no right to be pissed off and that no one knows more about draft prospects and such than the Flyers scouts and that people should actually be excited rather than critical because they almost made the playoffs last year and might be better this year so what are you complaining about and on and on and on.
His voice is an indelible part of my life since childhood, but I really can't stand Jim Jackson anymore.

It kills me. I watch 100+ Mets games a year because my wife is a diehard, and I always compare how their broadcast treats fans compared to how the Flyers booth treats us.
They're the same franchise in different sports—miserable big market operation addicted to failure and nostalgia for their two ancient championships. But the Mets booth doesn't gaslight fans into thinking every loss is someone else's fault, or that ownership is infallible, or that INTANGIBLES are just as important as strikeouts and homers.
They'll tell you when the third baseman f***s up. They'll tell you when the team sucks. It's refreshing, because once hockey season starts I get 60-70 nights of listening to this guy and whichever ex-player stooge tell me how much I'm supposed to appreciate Nic Deslauriers.
I remember in one of the few games Risto played in last year, he totally lost a guy in the corner. Dude ends up in front of the net and scores—Risto was a step behind and almost got a stick in there to break it up, but he was too late. JJ spent a few sentences commending how Risto "almost made a great play breaking that up" without once acknowledging that it never happens if Risto doesn't make an awful play 5 seconds before. It's just that shit over and over and over again. Making fans stupider.

The Flyers' management keep telling us they are rebuilding. LOL!
This is just patently untrue. 4th line grinders and over the hill defensemen are drooling over the chance to get overpaid in Philadelphia.
It’s only the skilled players that want no parts of this team.
We don’t want to win trades. We want our trading partner to be happy. It’s part of the culture.

Mets fan here too (grew up on jersey shore). Mets have the best booth probably in all sports tho giving them independence from "the regime"

Should take a page from the Eagles’ “QB factory” comments and start billing themselves as a “bottom 6 factory”

San Jose: hey, look at all the young talent we got!
Anaheim: oh yeah? Check out ours!
Chicago: Can’t beat our kids!
Philly: we got Michkov! Oh, and, um, the best group of future 4-5-6 D and bottom 6 forwards on God’s green earth!!

Yeah. It's a great education, too, because when you don't spend the entire broadcast doing ad reads and sucking off replacement-level depth players, you can actually analyze the sport and the decisions players and managers make in-game. I have learned so much more about baseball through the Gary/Keith/Ron combo.
Phenomenal broadcasts overall. Great cinematography, they actually experiment with camera angles and multiple perspectives. During dead time, director and camera crew do a great job of finding unique shots that the booth can riff on. I watch tons of regional hockey and baseball broadcasts between ESPN+ and MLB.tv and there isn't anything on the same planet as SNY's baseball coverage. Would love to see that influence spread, because it feels like everything else is so cookie-cutter and uninformative these days.
