Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid: Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Is this the wrong time in the rebuild to have someone with many connections? :-O

Is it too early in the rebuild to rebuild?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It wouldn’t surprise me if this is an intentional approach by the team in order to get people to talk about them.

Jones said to be more like the Eagles where people are always talking about them was their goal during his radio rounds so…

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Wait, what? Who?

Keith Jones.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Keith Jones.

Oh. Yes.

 

[Redpath]

There can be a legitimate strategy to leaking in order drive interest/conversations. But airing out half-complete deals as imminent and creating this media frenzy is a mess.

 

[Cody Webster]

The media surrounding this organization continues the week of embarrassment.

Every single story and “I’m hearing” has come from a reporter from another market’s work. No one in this market has provided a single new thing.

Then they'll end up saying, see, I told you this trade was happening and the return would be nothing

 

[LegionOfGloom]

You very well may be correct, and I'll update my opinion once we have final details.

Yeah, based on the reports (which could obviously turn out wrong), I'm viewing this as Hayes at 50% retention for nothing and then Sanheim for Krug and #25 or #29. And that's pretty f'ing bad.

I bet it is also being driven (or encouraged) by Senor Comcast and business ops for the purposes of "ramping up engagement" and "driving sales" and "increasing exposure" and "no dating between employees" and "the last one to use the microwave must clean it."

 

[BiggE]

This is what incompetence is

Hmm, let’s combine a hits obsessed dipshit broadcaster, with an inexperienced rookie gm, a couple brand new crony ex player advisors and a fat f*** size obsessed assistant gm….what could possibly go wrong?

WHY DONT YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE IF THESE PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT???

 

[Cody Webster]

Jumping to conclusions? In deals like this, involving various players and their agents, there are probably multiple leaks, and a good reporter takes info from different sources and figures it out.


TK and what? I don't think you'll be able to get picks in the top 10 of this draft without overpaying, maybe if a GM feels there's a big dropoff after #8, but even then, they may figure their 8th best player could fall to #10.

Much more likely is say #17, #42 and a top prospect (Buffalo)

Ok, now that's hilarious coming from you

 

[BiggE]

The bar truly doesn’t get any lower than being better than Cuck Fletchbag so they have that in their favor.

 

[BiggE]

Every day, I just keep thinking

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

These deals are gonna fall apart.

 

[kudymen]

These deals are gonna fall apart.

"There is no way we do that JvR thing again"

 

[blackjackmulligan]

I look for Hart to be moved to Buffalo at some point.

 

[BiggE]

I want them to make so many trades that next seasons top line and d pair is:
Nic D-Cates-what’s left of Atkinson
Seeler-Fisto

 

[Kermit the Prog]

What fun is THAT?

Someone has to be the adult in this room.

I'm not saying it's me, but someone has to be. Resumes are currently being accepted.

Uh, when you have deals where you have to ask players/agents for permission to waive their NTC and/or whether they'll sign, how do you keep it secret?
Or why do we know about other teams' deals? Maybe because when there are a lot of moving parts, people gonna talk.
It's like all those silly movies with government conspiracies, other than "Deep Throat", it's rare for anything to stay secret in Washington for long, why would you expect sports to be any different?

 

[kudymen]

Lets defend something before it is too late!

/every day, every hour, every second/
/unless it is a lady who works in a bar/

 

[Curufinwe]

So if Jones is leaking these deals that means he wasn’t involved in the Provorov deal at all?

 

[tucson83]

This is what incompetence is

so you would have fletch and hextall's fo of them doing nothing and nothing happens than briere's fo of them of trying to make moves and it doesnt work out?

 

[ellja3]

Wouldn't mind tbh.

But I was told trading in this league is tough!!111!111!

 

[Curufinwe]

There can be a legitimate strategy to leaking in order drive interest/conversations. But airing out half-complete deals as imminent and creating this media frenzy is a mess.

Since one of the players in the St Louis deal has a NTC he doesn’t want to waive, that’s always going to get out.

Dear Keith Jones,

Get my name out yo mouth!

Love, Kev Hayes
