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

[JojoTheWhale]

PHLY pod had Jonesey on. He said Laughton trade would have to be an overpay.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Jonesy is a f***ing turd.

 

[wankstifier]

A second would be an overpay at this point

 

[Random Forest]

I low key want Matvei to not come over.

This plan hinges so strongly on him, that was he out of the picture - the blowup in their faces would be hilarious.

One of the marvels of the internet is watching borderline personality disorders spawn from the bizarre behaviors of niche online communities.


“My favorite team is doomed. They would never draft Michkov, and they will always suck.”

*Flyers draft Michkov”

“Haha wouldn’t it be hilarious if he never comes over just to watch it all blow up??!”

So you would rather people who love the Flyers be spited, why exactly?

The mgmt for the last 10 years has been terrible, but you’ve posted 12k times on this website in the last 6 years because at one point or another, you loved this team and the community behind it. Flyers fans love this team - I have seen way more Flyers stuff when grocery shopping this year than Sixers, or any VS the last 5 years…people seem to care again.

I’m still relatively young but who knows how long I have to live or how long my parents have. A lot of people’s fandom and chance to see a Stanley Cup in the near future or at all, rests on a 19 year old from Perm, Russia.

If you see Michkov as a good lucky break the Flyers way, it’s probably deserved considering: Pronger, Ellis, Oskar, 07 lottery, Hart, and Nolan Patrick.

hes going to bust if Torts is here in any shape or capacity..

Torts will strip every ounce of what makes him dynamic..

Do you honestly believe that

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Excellent RLM pull

better question..

do you think Torts would let him play with his natural skill/flare ?

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Yeah I genuinely do

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Yeah I genuinely do

yikes... well i wish you good luck then..

 

[usahockey22flyers]

This is Torts last go, working with a 5ft9 GM who only had skill, and a President of Hockey Ops who consistently says they need high end skills.

If you believe in the rationale actors theory, and believe Torts is a rationale actor, he’s gonna let Matvei play his game.

Rebuilding team hesitant to trade their 30 year old bottom sixer.

You ever get bored of being so miserable?

i think ur confusing miserable with tired of waiting 50 years for the Org. to change to todays modern NHL.

I’ve watched every single one of their Star Trek videos even though I’ve never seen a single second of Star Trek.

They can make anything entertaining

Star trek is good stuff though

I actually think Matvei would thrive on the ice in Torts system. I think the real area for concern is how he will feel about playing for Torts off the ice. Hopefully he doesn't mind Torts because I think Torts would make him a better hockey player, but his coaching does seem to rub some guys the wrong way

Yeah, I think I’ve seen like 5% of the movies they’ve made videos about but it doesn’t even matter.

And often I think they’re full of shit with some of their critiques, but the videos are still worth watching.

Again what do you want him to say?

 

[wankstifier]

Would going after 2025 picks make sense if the intention is to use them as offersheet compensation?

There's a quite a few posters that would love nothing more than to hear "we aren't rebuilding" just so it feeds their narrative.

They aren't though

They have to act like they aren’t selling when making comments out loud.

They have to act like they aren’t selling when making comments out loud.

That horse already left the barn, won the triple crown, and was put out to stud. They've been loudly declaring they're not going to be buyers for months, and the sheer number and frequency of rumors out there sure seems to suggest that things are being leaked to the press with the hopes of driving up prices. That's silly, because surely the other GMs have an idea by now of who is available and for what. It smacks of desperation, quite frankly.

You know what they should say? Nothing. Nothing at all. No specific names. Make only the most generic ambiguous comments possible. Sadly, playing it close to the vest is not something this organization has made any effort to do since they canned Hextall.
