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

[JojoTheWhale]

I grew up around diehard Rangers Devils Isles fans… let me poll them and see what they think about Jonesy

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Butch Goring has improved quite a bit in the last ~5 years. He used to be Bob Errey levels of unlistenable to me.

I have little to no issues with Keith Jones himself. He is who he is but you're not getting me to look passed the reason that he was hired and that was for him to be able to "tell the story."

He's a glorified PR guy who is here to make people feel good.

I'd rather my Front Office people serve with an actual tangible on ice benefit but i'm old fashioned.

Someone’s gotta make a move soon eerily quiet this year so far

I am a big fan of Doc. Thought he was the GOAT. Sam Rosen has been subject to confusion lately but he has a great voice. Pittsburgh, Washington, Boston were unlistenable to me. Enjoyed Carolina, but I think that dude went to Seattle and does some national games? John Forslund?

Loved staying up late to listen to Bob Miller as I grew up on D1 and D2 lol

My issue with Jonesy on the broadcasts were his 'breakdowns' of play. I am not saying I'm a wizard when it comes to breaking down play, but I do believe I have a decent-to-good level of knowledge about hockey systems/play/skills etc. I never once learned anything from Jonesy during his breakdowns, always very surficial. As much as I hated Pierre McGuire, or Eddie O, they would at least have a decent breakdown from time to time. The problem here is that I am fairly confident that Jonesy can take me to task when it comes to overall hockey knowledge - it just never came out IMO.

However, he was funny and always had a line ready to go.

I think everyone is waiting for one of the big movers (buyer or seller) to flinch first to set the market.

 

[mr4tno]

Did anyone notie a difference in Boucher during the last telecast. It seems when Boucher does not have to tow the company line he is much better...

Nothing is ever done until trade deadline day. I can count on one hand the amount of trades there will be done league wide until March 8

Most definitely. I want the people in the booth to be knowledgeable and instructive. Unfortunately, things seem to be going the other way. Here’s a personality. Enjoy their musings.
That and his only adjective being “outstanding “ drove me crazy.
Oh, the lack of competition for the PoHO job pissed me off too.

Last year had over 40 trades in the ten days leading up to the deadline. Source: capfriendly

Can agree Boston sucks, Jack Edward's is insufferable, his voice alone makes me want to suck start a shotgun "rockem sockem time" "A huge green light hit" idk how that fan base loves him so much

Well they needed 2 guys who would make sure to keep torts, and would be good boys and listen. The other options out there aren't desperate enough to allow this to happen

Don't forget pronger even said the power structure within the franchise is weird and made absolutely no sense

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Go f*** yourself Seeler.

 

[freakydallas13]

Seeler looking for a fair bit more than 3 mil a year over several years?

Trade him and don't look back.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

We live in a society.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I’m not going to blame Seeler for wanting to take the only chance he’s ever had to cash in.

I will blame the front office for considering him an own rental if that’s what they do.

After hearing that ask I’d be shocked if both aren’t moved. Especially with the current skid probably continuing against Tampa tonight

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Can’t blame the guy for trying to cash in and earn more with one contract than in his entire career to now. But yeah, if you re-sign him even at that 2.5 million level, it’s a waste.

 

[Random Forest]

I’d be okay with choosing to keep Seeler at $2.5M for two years over the draft pick we’d probably return for him, but anything over $3M AAV and I take whatever I can get from a trade.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Go f*** yourself Seeler.

Why, he's gonna get it LOL

It’s obviously not all net pay but Capfriendly has him down for $3.4M in career earnings to this point. Guy might triple that with this upcoming contract which is probably a position neither him nor his agency probably thought that he’d be in a year or so ago.

This is a guy in situation that absolutely has to max out as much as possible here & you can’t blame him personally.

As long as the Flyers aren't the ones to do it.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ok, prior GMs would have been pumped that he wants multiple years and he'd cruising to that contract. Good noises, good noises.

 

[Curufinwe]

Don't blame Seeler at all, but there's no way the Flyers should be paying him 3 x $3+m.

 

[trostol]

Why, he's gonna get it LOL

just as long as it isn't here
