It’s because it’s the truth. People have been complaining about how unlikeable the team is. They need to service the people who are actually paying them knowing they’re not going to win games.

And yet it didn’t bother Chicago. And they bounced back monetarily in a tremendous way. Let’s just call it what it is: a problem specifically related to the Flyers and their phony baloney idea of culture.

Respectfully, they need to service the fans by providing winning and championships.
If people are paying to see Laughton lead the 7th worst team in the league, they are a detriment to the rest of the fan base by simply existing.

Did anyone in the entire organization notice the fans in the same building cheering for the Sixers after unprecedented, up-front tanking?
They’re braindead.

Apple is saying Celebrini would have been taken 2-3 in this year’s draft. That’s damn good

That’s nice to think about unfortunately you still need to conduct business until you get there.

So you agree this is not a real rebuild, it’s tinkering around the edges

SN must said Wash thought they could get Mich at 8 but that appears to not be the case now. So is trying to move up.

And they’ll still be in the mix to get him. A lot of things can change in a year. Nolan Patrick, Shane Wright, Angelo Esposito were all once 1OV picks by acclimation in their draft years and none of them got there.

The team needs a Trevor Zegras, not a Scott f***ing Laughton

It’s not a real rebuild until they clear out every single person in the organization who got us here, so, no.

Those fans don’t know what the hell they want. They just find other ancillary issues to try to hammer home the ultimate biggest issue (shitty on ice results). At this point it’s such a small minority to cater to.

So? There’s a few really really good ones though who could be franchise types. This team is running on fumes until that scenario happens. Chicago has also had so much draft capital their non-Bedard picks will likely be better than the Flyers’.
The Flyers aren’t targeting high end players, they’re not selling their best assets, and they’re telling us this rebuild will take only 3 years or so. That’s selling a bridge in Brooklyn. If STHs want that vision, god bless, because they’ll get it. And in 4 years we’ll talk about how you can’t trade a player like Noah Cates on the 8th worst team or the STHs will get surly.

It's a rebuild!
But we are going to keep a 29 year old 3rd liner who can fetch a 1st+2nd so the STH have someone to watch?
Love this new era!

Not saying you’re wrong on anything. Only that they’re not going to do it unless they overpay. That’s always what the rumors have been, they’ve gotten offers that are making them think about doing something they don’t really want to, so make them want to do it.

how did he last so long his draft year ??
They also got Fedorov a round later, and Bure went well after that too.
Euro scouting just wasn't that great.

What if it's Detroit for pick #19? Lol might be worth the cap space (I know Detroit isn't likely, just making a statement)

They're doing a 2011 again and pretending they're not.

Sanheim is the one Dman the Flyers have built for the modern game ( maybe York) and they are trying to trade him because of the shit bag coach. Yeah.... this is going to end well.
As a fan of Travis since the Dub, I really hope he goes to a progressive team and fulfills his potential. The Flyers have completely screwed him over.

I wonder what its like to not have existential dread on draft day, UFA day, and trade deadline day as a hockey fan

The Flyers aren’t owned by Pep Boys. I wish they were sometimes. But few teams are as financially stable as the Flyers to do a full rebuild. But no one has an iota of a long term vision in the organization. Hedge fund hobbyists understand a loss today for a gain tomorrow. No, the talk from the new PR Management Team is about filling the stands and making it feel like Flyers Hockey again. What they’ll actually do is embitter an entire generation and be irrelevant to the next one.
