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

[LegionOfGloom]

So why not find those players in FA, and not waste valuable picks at the deadline...

Or just rely on the 16 players already on the roster for "culture"

 

[PALE PWNR]

To ask it a different way, do you all believe that a player that's been in the league for almost 20 years, that was a former 1st overall pick so he's been successful for a lengthy amount of time even before his NHL career, that has won the Stanley cup as recently as 2 years ago has no knowledge thats worth picking up for the young kids that are in the locker room? And a draft pick that's in a round that the flyers have never drafted a successful NHL player in has more value?

So your entire point was a strawman? Since neither of those points has anything to do with learning from vets.

It does have to do with culture in the locker room which was literally the first thing I said.

I'm sure Adam ginning brings the same intangibles as former 1st overall Stanley cup winning 17 year NHL veteran EJ

Yes

 

[Flybynite]

Considering the direction of the last 90 mins I don't want to see "Flyers" involved in anymore transactions today.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Other than Walker, a pretty shit first deadline for the new guy.

Avs fans say he was cooked a year ago
Sabres fans are saying he is cooked now

"But intangibles!"

 

[Flyerfan4life]

The Flyers basically have a 5 man roster and 30 man coaching staff

 

[Flyerfan4life]

What do you get when the whole roster is full of locker room guys?

50 more years of circling the drain going nowere

 

[Danko]

member when we used to be in on everything

 

[Danko]

tell me flyers are in on this somehow sending johnson to san jose or someshit loool

Tomas Hertl? No... But they may be sending a 6th to whatever euro team Tomas Hyka is on.

That's a really dumb argument. Lindblom, Cates and Ersson were drafted in the 5th round.

 

[BringBackFletcher]

It's a 4th round pick. Name me the last player that contributed consistently to an NHL lineup that the flyers have picked in the 4th round. I'll give you a hint. There isn't one.

Can we kill this argument? This is one of the lamest lines of reasoning out there

 

[Redpath]

Just as I predicted, Charlie just lobbed a total loaded question to Briere about "Is it fair to say this rebuild has an emphasis on culture?"

 

[Flyerfan4life]

tbh im shocked Frost survived the TDL..

Torts must be f***ing furious

And yet in the 50+ years the flyers have been an organization it still remains true

Sounds like a Flyers problem, not a 4th round problem

 

[Curufinwe]

Briere loves Laughton so much he was speaking in French about how he "brings people together". He was never getting traded.

 

[GKJ]

I think we're in for a slow deadline day, both in terms of the Flyers and the league in general. Listening to NHL Network Radio and unless I've missed something it sounds pretty quiet.

Were you entertained?

He was getting traded if we got a first back. This was a buyers market. So many players went for so little.

1 - The value of that pick is not derived from what has happened in the past. What happened 5 years ago is not relevant let alone what happened 20 or 30 years ago

2 - The value of the pick isn't related to what the flyers specifically have done with it. It's based on what teams across the league value it at.

3 - There's no reason to focus on the 4th round specifically. They've drafted plenty of players after this round, with less valuable picks. You are cherry picking this aspect

Nope, not enough of an overpay.
