Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 3 - Flyers Rumors and Media Mentions: Never Ending Circles

[deadhead]

From Kurz:

"My understanding of the situation is that while the Flyers are fielding calls on him, they’re not interested in just giving him up for nothing to clear that cap space — but they also don’t have any sort of price tag attached to him, either. Ristolainen, 30, is off to a solid start so far this season, and as a right-handed shot with size and snarl, he could very well be a player whose value only goes up the closer it gets to the trade deadline. Any potential return for Ristolainen would depend on how much salary a team would require the Flyers to retain."

Right now they're on target to have $3M in cap room at the TDL, but they also have the option to LTIR Ellis who is now on IR. By keeping him off LTIR they can accumulate cap room, but once you hit the TDL, there's no reason to continue to accumulate cap room for this season - so they'll have the flexibility to retain/take a bad contract back and make other deals.

This is probably why they're happy to slow walk Johansen, if he's off the books they can accumulate cap room and if the arbitrator rules against them then resort to LTIR to clear him off the books.

Well this is ironic given numerous conversations over the last year or so.

Drysdale corpse and a 2nd

Lake trout fishing in northern Manitoba , that’s what you all need to experience.

Reading through here and seeing Laughton in proposals , my god

Are you settled on that? I thought we had an idea of where we wanted to go, but I saw @Chuck Downie doing the globetrotting thing and it got me off of my ass. A visit isn't enough. We've been trying to do multiple weeks in every serious contender. That takes real time.

It was one of the coolest things we ever did. Twenty five countries over a full year, carry on only bags. Planning another trip now!

Was it ever reported who that mystery player was skating at the Flyers rink?

I don't know that we ever got a name (I didn't see one) but there was a report that it was a roster player, so nothing exciting.

I read somewhere it was a Japanese prospect named Taro Tsujimoto but I have had difficulty finding information on him other than he plays for the Tokyo Katanas. Anyone have any insight?

Apparently he's close friends with Sidd Finch, the two of them train together in the rare occasions neither has other obligations.

 

[Beef Invictus]

If Frost is moved look towards Chicago as the destination.

Interesting choice of destination. Thoughts on why? Well, aside from the obvious fact that their center depth looks like beaten ass?

 

[BernieParent]

They inquired before after the season was over.

Interesting, Jack. From where did you hear/read such rumours?

How many millennials are looking up Sidd Finch

Not this one, but I am one of the obnoxiously named geriatric millennials, so a casual George Plimpton reference ain't no thing.

 

[Lord Defect]

I had to look up both references, and I’m not sure which generation I fall into. Never took any stock in those labels.

Actually, it would make more sense for it to be Washington who would put him on the second line and magically watch him take off.

it would be awesome to see him and Ovie together to get Gretzkys record...

 

[Curufinwe]

Wouldn’t even be that magical

Add it to the list of players they trash on the way out to lower their value.

*can’t wait to be told this doesn’t happen.

Pathetic. Chasing our most skilled center out of town because he doesn’t play like a 4th line plug.

Burn it down

TPTB allowed AV to trash out Gostisbehere and Jake. Now Torts wrecks Frost.
It looks like a MO for the Flyers is to allow the HC to drive players off of the roster instead of demanding that the HC bring the most out of a player. Winning franchises do not allow the HC this much latitude with roster make up. Only losers do that.

Frost has gotten more offensive opportunities and the best wings the last three years.
This idea that his offense has been suppressed is just silly.
The player ruining Frost's career is Frost, Torts gave him Tippett and Michkov to start the season, then Tippett and TK with whom he played well last season. Nothing worked.

It seems a fan favorite can do no wrong no matter how bad he plays.
Frost simply hasn't produced on offense by any metric, if he's 100% then something's really wrong b/c his skating is below average.

Flyers don't have guys leave and blossom elsewhere since Sharp and Justin Williams, two decades ago.
Ghost was the same player elsewhere (with better knees) than he was here.
NAK was a 4th line scrub everywhere he's gone.
Patrick, Myers, Friedman, etc. did nothing
The only player who improved after he left was Cousins.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Can we see how Cates and Frost had the same linemates again?
