I'm sure he won't be entirely too open and honest about what is going on.

I swear Brieresy spends more time on broadcasts talking about a plan, than he does actually considering what the plan is and how they’ll implement it.

The Flyers are a PR/Propaganda organization. They care more about the perception of the organization than the actual on ice product.

Similar to Jerry Jones in a lot of ways and that's not something you want to be compared to.

Interesting, thanks.

I read the backstory article linked in that one too.

They've got like very little trade candidates on the roster that teams would actually be interested in.

• Risto
• Laughton
• Cam York
• Who Else?

I don't anticipate much to be done here, and I don't see them taking on long term salary, If they do a move like that it would be for someone on an expiring contract so that money comes off the books in the summer.

Makes me think that really the only logical thing they can do is with the draft picks they have or in Free Agency, where both have a lack of talent.

I was kind of hoping they would just give Kuzmenko lots of play time and beef up his value to flip him at the deadline, but at this rate he might not even play a game before the deadline.

no ones trading for Risto..

hes a oft injured and not worth his contract.. if anything the Flyers will extend him

They don't pump and dump....they devalue and then unload. I expect him to get a few games in, get scratched, and then not get traded or re-signed which makes the trade look even worse.

I'm pretty sure that was the plan from the beginning. Trading two at least somewhat valuable (I think they could have gotten WAY more for Farabee on his own) for cap dumps. They have no interest in trading either of the guys that were obtained and probably no interest in signing either of them. My guess is Pelletier gets his rights traded for a 6th or something and they call it a day.

Or maybe the Martin Jones scenario where they don't want to trade Kuzmenko because there might be an injury at some point and they'll need someone to fill that role so rather than get a pick for him they'll keep him "just in case" so they have someone to play wing in yet another waste of a season.

Of the two, I strongly believe that Pelletier is being pencilled I to lineups as soon as he is here. Another strong work ethic, meat and potatoes player will be given every chance to carve out his place.

They pump up all the try hards and then dump any talent they happen to have. This org is a toilet

See JVR history.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yes, they're going to TRY and realize that what they want to do just doesn't happen.

I thought it was frost who was proclaimed to be toilet not the flyera.

 

[trostol]

if that was their plan all along then come out and just say that and not this BS rebuilding talk

 

[freakydallas13]

Yes, they're going to TRY and realize that what they want to do just doesn't happen.

Yeah when I look at this roster, I definitely see "one big free agent splash away from contention".

This team is run by idiots.

The signed Tipperino for 8x6.1 but had to dump Frost at 1x2.5 to make room for a free agent signing. There is no long term plan.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yes, they're going to TRY and realize that what they want to do just doesn't happen.

Then trade your f***ing bigger contracts you f***ing dick. If you said that trading Frost hurt, why the f*** is it a problem to trade Laughton or Risto? f*** you, you f***ing hypocrite.

 

[Cody Webster]

Yes, they're going to TRY and realize that what they want to do just doesn't happen.

Memba when they said you can't win that way?

 

[BiggE]

Here are the new Flyers consultants who are helping Danny Briere with “the plan”

 

[BiggE]

Yes, they're going to TRY and realize that what they want to do just doesn't happen.

Not a single top line center will be available in FA and teams don’t trade those guys without massive overpayment.

JFC, this is gonna be horrific

They just traded their two highest value likely trade chips for a clear massive loss so we should probably hope they focus on firing and replacing everyone before they try anything else

The Tippett deal is fair to even good.

Frost was the cost of dumping Farabee and not having to retain any salary. No one in the league wanted Farabee at his entire contract.

They just traded their two highest value likely trade chips for a clear massive loss so we should probably hope they focus on firing and replacing everyone before they try anything else

You think Frost and Farabee were valued around the league?

This board is the only place that thinks those two guys had a lot of value.

 

[flyersnorth]

"We're going big-game hunting" is just so cringe, I can't.

And once again, let's reveal our entire strategy *ahead* of time so that everyone else has time to plan accordingly.

Tippett was left off of the STH renewal notice, was he not?

Spitballin' here, but I wonder if he is/was actually a possibility to be moved for a Pettersson type, but got injured, plans changed, and both Frost and Farabee are gone (both of whom were also absent from the list).

Just like Risto getting injured at the most inopportune time.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I know someone is going to make this specific complaint, so let’s get in front of it. Making a big acquisition can be great. I’m for any move of any size that makes sense.

They just speak about these things as if they're going to force it. And they have a history of doing exactly that.

The first thread with offer sheet rumors is going to be a Holy War if that RFA list is any indication. There are some questionable players turning quite expensive.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

The only player that is matching the horseshit platitudes being divulged is Rantanen.

That leaves a trade and I’m sure they can’t wait to handout some of the draft capital they acquired for their mega draft.
