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

[Tripod]

Remember that week after the Provy trade when there was glimmer of hope?

That was fun

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Bottom 10 there too

 

[Beef Invictus]

ASF said the internal belief amongst the front office is they can get this turned around in three years.

That's definitely why they're keeping everything of actual value.

 

[Young Sandwich]

2007 to 2010 was 3 years, so they have a precedent set and must adhere to it.

Provorov + taking a cap dump goalie returned a 1st, two 2nds, a prospect dman, and a rental dman.

I'm sorry but the sabres broadcast team is one of the worst, it's features a man who is a thousand years old and sounds like a 1930s broadcaster

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Trading your top three dmen for cap dumps, picks and prospects would definitely be rebuilding. And nothing like what Fletcher did.

It can easily be "retooling", too.

Amazing how fast the flyers have killed all hope again

Rick Jeanneret retired.

Do the Red Wings still have Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond, because they put me to sleep.

It doesn't resemble Fletcher's retooling at all. He traded three picks away for Angelo.

Uh, Fletcher traded Gostisbehere, Voracek, etc in an attempt to retool, fix culture, and to make a coach happy. That sure looks exactly like what they're doing here.

Yeah...that was fast. That said, I'm giving them tonight to prove me wrong. I dont have a good feeling about it.

 

[GKJ]

Wait, so we’re going to be good in 3 years with what defensemen? Because ASF also once said they basically hate their organizational depth there.

 

[dgaspari]

2 1/2 hours to the draft and no movement. feels like the trade deadline again!!!

 

[bauer]

2007 to 2010 was 3 years, so they have a precedent set and must adhere to it.

i mean sure, 3 years can work. if they trade for a future hall of fame elite #1 defenseman like Chris Pronger. are there any of those available? this team probably thinks they can get one with...wait...oh no...

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Rick Jeanneret retired.

Oh he finally retired? Thank God lol dude was monotone and just flat out terrible, he could put me to sleep lol

idk if you can call Jeanneret monotone. He was definitely annoying as f*** though. Thank God is right

Does Risto have five brothers by chance? If so, problem solved.

I would like to go back please.

OK, everything but the one guy. The one guy who they were mandated to move from Corporate.

So far it's just another Culture Reset.

 

[mr4tno]

Shame on us fans. We were fools to fall for the rebuild mantra. The Flyers have never rebuilt nor will they ever. They truly believe they are th gold standard. After the dreaded Adam Oates trade, I believe snider sid never again would they sacrifice the future for an attempt at immediate results. i believe that lasted 3 months......

In no world do you rebuild by keeping TK and SL on the roster.

Yeah but how many of those broadcast teams are now PoHO? Check mate other franchises.

I disagree. I think this is completely different. Hayes may or may not have been traded right now to appease Torts, but Hayes had no future in a rebuild anyway. I wouldn’t have done it now (if only to alleviate the impact), but I think it’s plausible he was going to buy Hayes out now. Whatever the case, Hayes was living on borrowed time. If Briere turns around and starts using draft picks to acquire players and signs players off the UFA market to improve the team now, then I think you’ll have a point.

Fletcher paid a 2nd to make room for Risto, swapped one veteran forward for another, traded two young players for a veteran dman with a huge contract, and then spent 3 draft picks on Angelo.

That's not similar to what Briere has done so far.
