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

[LegionOfGloom]

Summary?

Same exact drivel he's been saying for a year.

 

[BiggE]

If York is out long term and Fisto for a month or so, I really doubt they trade Walker. Instead they’ll probably trade Laughton (assuming they can get a first) while swapping a 4th for a generic 4C who is at least a lineup upgrade over Nic D.

The forwards would then look something like:
Farabee-Couts-TK
Tippett-Frost-Foerster
Cates-Poehling-Atkinson
?-deadline acquisition-Hathaway

The ? could be any of Desnoyer, Allison, Gardiner or, heaven forbid, Nic the plug

However, if Couts is out longterm, they might realize that they are pretty much f***ed and move Laughton plus the expiring vets.

If they don't trade two people to get actual value returns (any two people, IDGAF who) this is an even bigger joke of an organization than I thought. I think they will. I think the talk is just puffery before the deadline but perhaps I am giving too much credit to an organization that I said I would no longer give the benefit of the doubt, but I'm ready to be disappointed again and go back to cheering for the Ottawa Girouxs.

What’s the point of Lappy if after an extended time neither Attard or Andrae can’t play some NHL minutes.

I absolutely hate to think of that happening to the guy again… however, it may be biggest deciding factor (and multiple dmen injuries) in sobering the team up.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Basically, Briere said they'd like to keep Walker, but have to evaluate everything. They absolutely want to get out of the make-the-playoffs-miss-the-playoffs cycle and build a team that can contend yearly for the Cup.

I'm sure this is just posturing. After all, when is the last time that this management group failed to trade someone?

Look, Beef, trades are hard.

 

[LegionOfGloom]

After being told in July that a Laughton trade is easier in season and teams would pay more then, I look forward to whiplash of being told that a Laughton trade is easier at the draft.

32 Thoughts pod: “The Big Poker Game”

Jeff speculates about whether or not the Risto injury changes what the Flyers do, if they do anything at all now, and that perhaps the injury is long-term.

Elliotte says that they are talking with and about Seeler and Walker. The trade price on Seeler is ‘very high,’ teams taking that to mean that they want him to sign. If they can’t move Risto now, they better make sure Walker is out there, but they do want him back too.

Basically it’s boiling down to who says yes first, player(s) or team(s). If either Seeler or Walker say yes to the number first, they will be signed. Seems like the move Briere was wanting to happen was on Risto and not Walker.

Laughton: jeff wonders about the Sabres, essentially because they’re in a position to overpay on prospects, and it’s what the Flyers want. Elliotte wonders about the Rangers. He sees Lindholm and Monahan prices as rentals as raising the price for Laughton since he has term

I find this hilarious because they are basically describing the identical process that led to us still having Laughton and Risto in the first place.

If they sign Walker, they have to trade Risto. Which sounds a lot better at the draft. But by the draft we can decide having 4 RHD is actually good and someone will be calling at next years deadline. Which is fine, but you need depth for next year’s playoff run, so you might as well hold and even for the draft when you can just try and see about….

The beauty of this franchise continually operating based on circular logic is that it means we are always at the beginning

 

[bennysflyers16]

Walker has to be 100% traded, the only way you keep him is if Risto is traded ( Close to impossible )
Seeler I could be convinced to keep if cheap.
Laughton you take the best offer and move on, Poheling is the better option for us.

Wheeler looked to have a horrific injury yesterday, make them over pay for Laughton.

Atkinson, Staal, Shit Truck aren't even worth discussing.

Walker needs to be gone, priority #1. Not that he is that bad or anything but he is valuable and useless to the team the next few years. Just get rid of him. Ugh I hate this team.

 

[Redpath]

My optimistic hope is that this is all just the much-mythologized media manipulation that Jonesy's resume supposedly brought to the table as PoHO.

In a perfect world, being a perceived hesitant-to-sell playoff team + reportedly wanting to re-sign our UFAs would be a great way to drive up the premium on our trades chips. But until something happens, I'm not sure if it's deliberate deception or if Briere is actually torn on whether to either sign or trade these guys. It is going to be a long three more weeks of this song and dance.

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Can't wait for the trade deadline to pass because I'm frankly tired of seeing the names Seeler, Walker, Risto, and Laughton repeated ad infinitum.

[Cody Webster]

After they battled back to get a point last night, there is no way this team is selling at the deadline, just no possible way. They aren't going to pass up a chance to make the playoffs after missing out on them the last 120 years. They can say all they want now, but they aren't going to trade any one. I don't believe what they're saying. They know they need to make the playoffs this year after the season they are somehow having. They aren't going to just abort the playoff spot they currently sit in.

[volnoir]

Personally, I don’t see a world in which a rebuilding team like the Flyers can afford to lose Walker for nothing on July 1, no matter where they are in the standings right now. That’s why I think a trade is more likely than not.

That was a quote from Pierre LeBrun in the article.

 

[trostol]

i'm gonna be in tears from laughter if they make no moves at the deadline..then go on to collapse and miss the POs

[TheKingPin]

I understand thinking they won’t do anything with Fletcher but we should give Briere a chance. It’s not like a lot of moves are happening that are being missed out on. Everything he has said was they need to build much more. They don’t have an elite player he specially said that when they lost to Tampa and the Avs. Matthews proved more of that.

I think they will make trades. Just not TK.
