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

So they actually do notice sometimes. Hilarious.
Bunch of dicks.

So he's scratched

And how would they use the picks for offer sheets when the draft takes place before free agency?

You can also only use your own picks for offer sheets.

Further proof of Johns hate for skill. Oh playing in Toronto scratch frost. Oh no name try hard gets a call up get his family there quick

Who the f*** is Jacob Goucher?

Flahrsy and the brain trust essentially put the fake rebuild on hold to push all their draft chips into 2025 because they love this draft. How often does one need to prove they’re incompetent before anyone takes notice?

Teams that have draft picks always call it a deep draft. Those without them say that it’s a weak one. Folks trying to justify their situation.

Absolute

But they're getting picks for this year, so the idea that that's what they're trying to do, even if it's wrong, still doesn't even make sense.

 

[Danko]

Im assuming they are going to try and bundle some of those seconds or move to next years draft

THEY GOT A FIRST FOR GRANLUND?!

Remember, it is completely f***ing impossible for a GM to upsell an asset or influence value in his favor, that's why it's OK for Daniel to be burned to a crisp on everything he does.

So, SJ gets a 1st for Granlund and Ceci, yet Briere couldn't make the same trade for Laughton and Ristolainen?? The Flyers are so mismanaged it's scary. What's even more horrifying is that, today, the team sits in absolute shambles... with no clear plan or direction... and the only elite talent the organization has had since Lindros is getting into screaming matches on the bench with the coach. To make things worse, the below scenario was 100% realistic for the Flyers... instead of the clown show we are witnessing currently:

• Handle Cutter correctly and don't trade him for Drysdale
• Draft Perreault (who most of the fans were clamoring for) over Bonk
• Trade Konecny, Laughton, and Ristolainen at the beginning of last season and easily draft top-3 in 2024
• Select Ivan Demidov in 2024
• Be bottom-3 in the standings today and have a clear path at Schaefer, Misa, Hagens, or Martone
• No Konecny extension taking up 8.75 million for the next 6,000 years
• No Laughton or Ristolainen money on the books
• Head into next season with close to $40 million in cap space and a young core, headlined by...

Michkov
Gauthier
Demidov
Perreault
2025 1st (1) -- Schaefer, Misa, Hagens, Martone
2025 1st (2)
2025 1st (3)
2025 1st (4) -- from Laughton and Ristolainen
2025 1st (5) -- from Konecny trade
(4) 2025 2nds
2026 1st (1)
2026 1st (2) -- from Konecny trade
$40+ million in available cap space

... Instead, the 3 Stooges (Briere, Jones, and Torts) botched a rebuild thanks to their warped and outdated obsession with winning meaningless games at all costs. This resulted in poor personnel decisions, not selling high on assets, and locking up another player (Konecny) to a long-term deal that will be regrettable in 2-3 years.

Not to mention, their only hope for an elite talent has been benched multiple times, scratched, and is now exchanging verbal bombs with the coach publicly on the bench. And, the way it's shaping up...

Most (or all) of their draft capital will be wasted on reaches, or players with modest talent who "play the game the right way" (which is code for: "They will be safe mid-level contributors with little risk of busting completely")... and a large chunk of their available cap space will likely be overspent on players like Sam Bennett ($9.75 x 7 years) who fit the ^ above description but are close to seeing their game decline massively.

Oh, what could have been... yet isn't... AGAIN. But, the organ-I-zation will continue to gaslight the fans through their propaganda mouthpieces so they can raise ticket prices.

Regardless of perceived strengths of drafts they generally produce about the same amount of players on yearly basis once you start moving away from the top. The variance doesn’t wildly differ that much.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lol ceci and granlund get more than briere for for frost and farabee. Indefensible

This is pretty much the funniest possible trade to follow ours

 

[Beef Invictus]

It is hilarious how the tune on this draft has completely changed. It's almost like most drafts are of a similar nature and can't be projected out like people claimed

Gonna defer that Giroux pick another year lol. What a rebuilding move that's been

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This is pretty much the funniest possible trade to follow ours

The 3 trades made after the Frost/Farabee debacle all involved 1st round picks.

 

[TheKingPin]

I thought Briere was going to do a conference today?
