Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 6: Flyers Rumors and Mentions - Brick By Boring Brick

[FlyguyOX]

Did you read the question that the poster asked me? Doesn't seem so. Tippett is a fast player, no doubt. I also posted previously that he is in the top percentile in the league in skating speed. Where do you think I got that idea from? Tippett is not the valuable player some think he is. He is being overrated by Flyers fans.

Well did you see what samskevitch just returned?

21st pick, Leafs next year and Vladar for Helly

Oh, Jesus. The Flyers' idea of a young, controllable piece is Marchessault.

Is there reason to pause? I am not super familiar with his game.

Teams don’t go out of their way to trade these guys if they believe in them. Nikishin was a mid round guy throughout his draft year. Nobody really thought he was anything special until he got to SKA and started putting up numbers and then he was universally thought of as a top 10 prospect in the sport. Things don’t truly flip from one extreme to another. Smells like Carolina is trying to sell high rather than pay him. Doesn’t make him a bad player, but it’s not like Carolina is exactly approaching a cap crunch. They’re in their contending window. You don’t trade him if you think he’s a difference maker.

Think like MCW and Hinkie.

So how much will people flip out when Flyers trade a 1 for Nurse at 8m?

The skill set of being a fast skater is not unique to the NHL. Ryan Poehling, whom the Flyers had is one of the top skaters in the NHL. You asked a question of me and I replied. The rest of your post is just an indication of the weakness of your position. Pointing out reality and the facts, doesn't make me anything other than a poster offering an opinion.

Yes, yes, we know all you do is “point out reality and facts” while everyone else’s takes are “grounded in false assumptions” or whatever silly, contrived rhetorical constructions you use every other post.

It’s gonna be McTavish.

Crossing Toes, Fingers and testicles that it is Nikishin

Average at best team with no draft picks is fantastic.

Did you see how many draft picks they made last year? What do they still need picks for??!?!?

Also, did you know they made the playoffs this year and even won a round?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Of course, having said this, do we know if Top Shelf Picks is a credible source? I'm not familiar with them.

Yes I did. Tippett is significantly older but teams are giving up good value for players with offensive talent.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Nikishin for Foerster and a real pick might break me.

What is giving you pause about this?

I think Foerster is the best Forward on NHL ice currently in the org. He might be passed by Michkov or Martone, but they're not there yet.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

LOL, i told you Luchanko was gunna be a roster player this year...

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Tippett is dog water. Should have been traded by now three times over.

It’s OK to admit this team has some decent pieces.

They do, decent pieces that they should look to trade. The Flyers really have a good stable of wingers. Teams aren't built around wingers. They lack centers and defenseman. Easy to read the tea leaves.

 

[Striiker]

Such disrespect, right @Striiker?

To Woll because you know the Flyers associate that number with the player they hate most in the world.

Meanwhile our glorious champion Ghost has ascended far above this shit team and has forgotten ever wearing that number.

 

[Rebels57]

Is Top Shelf Picks a reputable source?

Foerster was turbo ass in that Carolina series, but hopefully he was just hitting the conditioning wall after missing most of the season.

The entire team was cheeks in that series. That's what happens when a pretender faces a contender. Foerster didn't seem that much worse, relatively, than everyone else.

 

[TheKingPin]

I hope it’s Wright and I dont even like him. But for 21 and Risto, sure why not.

Yep. I’m just betting on the decent sample size we have at this point being the true talent. That should be the smart money unless his medicals are concerning. I can’t speak to that.
