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

[Beef Invictus]

TK, Foerster, and Frost were taken later than Laughton.

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

Most of us just want to see them back up their works. So far, the trades DB has made were just getting rid of Torts guys anf Gauthier, who didnt want to be here. Until he trades someome that they clearly love for the betterment of the team, we will remain skeptical that this "rebuild" is just more of the same Flyers bs.

Resigning Seeler and Walker and not trading Laughton are all signs of more of the same...not sure how you dont see that.

Exactly. These three have to go, or Risto if he’s healthy. Staal to FLA for depth, Hathaway if someone really wants to pay, if not, next year.

They don’t have top end talent to win, they need to start drafting now.

The thing I have never understood is why people are upset we haven’t made a bunch of trades weeks before the deadline (going back to earlier in the winter). The market is like this every year. It’s boring and quiet up until deadline day league wide.
Until then we have fake insiders on Twitter throwing shit against the wall to entertain us and the masses eat it up.

Again what do you want him to say?

"We aren't looking to give him away, but if there's an offer that helps us in the long run, than discussions will be had" at least make it look like you're trying to stick to what you sold the fan base, that answer says we may or may not trade him, but we still have the rebuild in mind, that's what a smart president of hockey ops would say, even if he doesn't believe it

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.

I think it's more they want them to be honest with us, like if you feel we are further along than anticipated than say so, but don't bullshit them knowing a good portion of the fanbase is watching for the rebuild and claim you're rebuilding still, to not actually do any rebuilding, fans want transparency, and smart hockey management can say things that's honest with their fans, while also not tanking your players values

This trade deadline is going to be telling in a lot of ways

From most of what I've read and heard DB and KJ have been consistant that they are listening on anyone but to get Laughton it will have to be an overpayment.

If they can make a few moves, and obtain lets say the 24th this year and a 2025 first next year… whatever it may be, you can still still select two or three in the 2024 first round, or maybe even get creative in a trade for a younger player, think Eichel or Chuckie trade.

This TDL is so damn important, we need darts.

We already have two firsts this year and if they score a third it's a win. Next year's deadline is the important one with tk Atkinson et al.
There's also the draft for moves to be made. Outside of the ufa guys I don't see any rush to accelerate the process for diminished returns

I really want to know what the asking price is for Laughton.

Three firsts

 

[captainpaxil]

TK, Foerster, and Frost were taken later than Laughton. Patrick rubstov and O'Brien were first rounders too. If the best offer is a second round pick im pretty confident it will be there next year as well I don't see a late first especially when we have two in the group as a n overpayment

 

[Beef Invictus]

So because the pick might not be as good as Laughton is now, which is a low bar, it's fine if we keep him?

Try thinking optimistically about the future. Who has more potential upside in five years? That's all that matters

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Probably some pie in the sky ask that they know nobody will meet & thus getting them to their always preferred route of keeping Laughton.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Schmidt has trade protection.

I could see jets wanting Laughton and Walker.

Schmidt Lambert Habs 2nd for the pair.

Then full retain on Schmidt and flip him elsewhere.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Who would realistically be looking for both Walker and Seeler in a package? I’m holding out hope that it ends up being the play but there’s little to no chance they decide to trade both.

this is a very not positive post..

are you cracking ?

this applies to every player thats on Torts " must keep" list

Of course not! I'm certain the Flyers will use the pick for Laughton exceedingly well.

I am for some reason (delusion) hoping this is just a ploy to get as much as they can for Laughton.

Yup if we can get two firsts this deadline, I’d hope one is a 2025 pick, 3 this year gives you a lot of flexibility at the draft.

And big agree on the draft, which is why a TK deadline trade never made sense. However if someone offers a top 8ish pick at the draft, maybe an Ottawa esque situation or Detroit last year… i’m interested

I think its more the reports coming out suggesting the Flyers arent likely to do much but resign guys...which i admit could be DB doing his job to raise trade value. Last year is still fresh in our minds too...where a lot of guys went before the deadline and we were told its best to wait until the last minute to trade jvr and well we know how that went.

Some people view this new "era" as im on board until the give me a reason to doubt them. Many of however are going to be skeptical until they show us they mean what theyre saying/make the correct moves.

I get that, but they have to learn how to reiterate that better than they do, the way they word everything makes fans believe that they're not truly rebuilding and that's where the problem lies

if they come out and say they are trading him, he loses value.

I personally think all trade talk revolving TK is pointless, even next year. The God King Emperor anointed TK as an alternate himself - he's not going anywhere. Discussion surrounding his next contract is what the talk will be about next year.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

I never said to say they're trading him. I'm saying they need to word it better, for both parties, can't just come out and say we are keeping him or trading him

Why? For who?
