I thought it was nice that Briere came out and said he knew Torts rep and was worried about keeping him after Fletch. He met with him and obviously all is good, but I liked that.

Players this team wanted to lock up/hold on to:
Laughton
Tippet
Poehling
Konecny
Seeler
Players this team wants to trade:
Frost
Possibly Walker, but only because they have too many defencemen.
Wonderful rebuild. 10/10, gotta lock in the current roster.

It'll definitely be an interesting month, not sure if it got talked about much, but Jones sort of hinted at potentially having 3 first round picks in this year's draft. It was sort of we have 2, maybe 3 firsts in the upcoming draft type comment. So it seems that they've been working the phones to gauge value.

They thought they would have 3 last year too.

They wouldn't get a superb haul for TK. Very few players get a huge haul.
Horvat - top 12 protected, Beauvillier
Tkachuck - Huberdeau, Weegar, 2025 1st top ten protected
DeBrincat - 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Eichel & 3rd - Tuck, Kreps, 1st, 2rd
ROR - Thompson, 1st, 2nd (Thompson was late 1st rd pick consideerd a B+ prospect)

What's the deal with Cozens? Is he in trade rumors?
Haven't seen any. I just wonder if Buffalo might panic since they're bottom 10 again.
Buffalo is bursting at the tits with up and coming centers ... and everything else, basically. There's no way they have room for all the talent they have drafted. I wish to f*** they'd ask for Owen Tippett in exchange for something.

Wonder if something around TK for Cozens would work

I wish Ottawa would panic trade Stutzle. I would shave off the upper layer of skin off my balls for Stutzle.

ASF joining Glen and Mike on WIP, mainly to talk about Carter Hart, mentioned the trade deadline as well and along with Walker and Laughton, threw in Morgan Frost as someone who if he’s playing well, may sell high on as he doesn’t think they see him as a long term fit, and that Danny is listening in everyone ‘for the right offer,’ even though Konecny is in the plan going forward.

If Torts really didn't like Frost, Cates would be the 2C right now.
Instead, Cates is buried on the 3rd line at LW with linemates like Laughton and Hathaway, which aren't good matches for his skill set.
Frost is a good fit for their new style of play, it's just that he has to become more consistent driving play, the whole point of an up tempo system is to play up tempo.

Who on this team should Cates play with? Cates doesn't play with tempo, very limited offensive abilities, honestly I think he's more of the odd man out rather than frost

Neither is the odd man out.
I think with Frost, it's simply a matter of his next contract, they want to see more consistency before they commit to a big money, long-term deal.
Cates was injured even before he went on IR, his skating is much better since he returned. But he's better suited to LW than C, didn't hurt to try him there, gives them an option for a checking line, but you'd really want a line like Cates - ??? - Foerster that could play like the Gourde line in TB. Someone more skilled than Poehling who can feed Foerster while Cates does the dirty work.

Having TK for 2 playoff runs would get more than those fee agents to be. Then with max retention it becomes a no briner to move.
The Flyers will do the Flyers thing and extend. Like they did over the last few years with numerous players. They will stay on the road to nowhere.
Unless they want out of that deal think TK isn't enough. This year is in the book for the Sabres. So is it worth 1 year of TK for Cozens on their end?
The Flyers do not understand this concept.

No one ever talks about trading Cates. He makes over 2 million an seems destined for the 4th as of now. Not interested in playin guys on the 4th line over 2 million. He may have some over inflated value based on last years performance.

On the recent STG episode ASF said if the Flyers get an offer similar to the one at the draft that they were offered for Laughton (1st rounder+) this deadline he thinks they’ll pull the trigger this time around. However he doesn’t think that offer comes around this time. So he ultimately thinks Laughton stays.

That really was one of Danny's dumbest moves, there was literally zero reasoning for not pulling the trigger when you claim that you are rebuilding, but so far it doesn't look to be a rebuild
I think the flyers definition of a rebuild differs from conventional thinking. Their rebuild doesn’t start with players and draft capital, but with rebuilding the ‘culture’ of the locker room. They believe the value of ‘culture’ to be tangible and carries more weight than that of a draft pick to which I heavily disagree with because the very nature of people are different and even a draft pick can change said ‘culture’. In all honesty, I don’t know what they mean when they say culture. If it’s guys who get along then that’s pretty cute, but stop f***ing up the team long-term.
