Watching this group bumble all these trades and leaking everything has me scared for the draft , such a clown show.
Sanheim value must be so low now that the rest of the nhl knows the Flyers tried to give him away for free.

Isn’t the 1st for Hayes still on ?
Krug for Sanheim is essentially free.
An over paid bum for a good young D man isn’t ideal.

It was never a 1st for just Hayes based on the reporting

RyJo got traded 50% retained for nothing. I have a hard time believing Hayes at 50% retained gets you a first…

Jonesy on WIP. Said the hardest part about the new job is not having enough jobs to give out to all his friends. Not kidding.

The cronyarchy is on meth steroids. Great hire everyone. Fold the team.

This has heavy @Myrtman energy.

This organization’s plan is to leak this crap so that people talk about them and Jones will run to his buddies on WIP to talk about it.
They want to be the Eagles. Jones has said as much. They want to be the team always talked about and their hiring practices have helped solidify that. They think that they can accomplish that. Once again they think this fan base is stupid.

LeBrun's understanding is that the DeAngelo deal is being held up because him getting traded back to his old team, on a retained salary, within 12 months, might technically qualify as circumvention under the CBA. There will be talks with the league this week, but the trade might not happen until July
Ugh, I was holding out hope that this wasn't the case. Jonesy is a pretty sarcastic and jokey person so while I didn't hear him but I will hope that he was just goofing, even if he sounded serious. Based upon the recent hires though...not looking good.
That being said, simply because someone who is a friend gets hired doesn't mean it is a per se bad move. I don't care if they hire friends as long as they are good at what they do, plenty of examples in every industry where someone gets a job because of their connections (not what you know but who) and does a great job. I'm willing to give this new regime a chance but not a big chance. I also don't care if these guys are just given figurehead type positions where they aren't really involved. The problem is when they suck AND they are intimately involved like the last brain trust. Let's see where this goes...
The problem is that this fan base is stupid. Deadhead is much closer to the average Flyers fan than the majority of posters here. I'd say 80% of Flyers immediately bought into Briere and Jones because they care about restoring the "Flyers Way".
If they can't show objectivity in giving a job, how can they be objective in evaluating the job being done?
so when nothing goes your way, it's always the flyers fault not the other teams?

Has there been any reason as to why Sanheim would be moved?

The deal for the 1st edition Charizard which turned out to be a fake.

But these are like...horrific leaks.
TDA retained at 50% for a bad prospect?
Sanheim and Hayes for a 32 year old D-man on a huge contract and a late 1st?
These are awful, awful leaks if that's the strategy.

Deadhead isn’t stupid. He’s just a contrarian who doesn’t believe 98% of the things that he argues about. He floats in whatever way the organization winds tell him to.
The fan base may have bought into it to start but if we keep getting blown up deals out in the open they’ll wise up.

And yet people were eating it up. Randoms were saying Kyrou was involved. Others Schenn was coming back. Briere was being coronated.
It’s the journey and not the destination kinda thing.

I guess I should have rephrased the question:
Is there any other reason apart from his contract why Sanheim's name has been in trade rumors?
The reason I asked is that I skimmed some of the last few pages and I thought I saw something about him not being a Torts guy. Was curious if some type of information came out about his relationship with Torts.
