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

[Angry Hockey Dad]

LeBrun says deal is Ada at 50% retained for a prospect, I'm hoping it's gunler

I wanted Gunler at the draft so that would be bittersweet

eklund tweet of the year lol

Can't wait to see the prospect they targeted.

I know everyone wants these deals done asap, but part of me wants these done on Wednesday at the draft so I can hear Chuck's analysis.

Chuck having to explain why Briere essentially traded every player he had a big hand in bringing in or extending recently.

Lucas Mercuri or Bryce Montgomery look about right. Grudinin is a hard pass.

Get Clarke on the phone and credit the scouts and blame the gm.

Also this trade wouldn't crack the top 3 for biggest in the Homer era, much less all time franchise history.

But if consummated, will be different than any other trade this franchise has ever made. It’s profoundly different because they’re trading for futures, not to get better now. Even the Richards-Carter trades were merely a modest step back to get cap space while getting NHL-ready players and better in the very near future. This is wholly different for this franchise: the first true implosion with a goal of being something better in 3-5 years.

Come on, gimme the oh face. It’s appropriate in this case.

Better to clean out the trash than keep it because you don’t want to be embarrassed. Glad DB is cleaning up Chuck’s messes.

Sunk cost. Cut Chuck's losses.

Yep. 10 years of futility, buried in the past.
But that's how you turn around a team, dump the bad contracts, pick up draft picks and move on.
Rip off the band-aid.

Briere trying to get rid of all these contracts just one year after Fletcher handed them out.

I think Ristolainen is the one player he won't be able to move though. That contract is so bad that even the Canucks won't touch it.

Give Shaw another season to work on him, and 3x5 isn't that hard to move for a physical RHD, take back a 2x3 contract for a D-man they want to dump.

So out: Hayes, Sanheim, TDA

In: 29 overall, Carolina prospect, sometbing for krug

About 5-6 mil retained.

I guess thats good? Its very meh but i guess its the best he could get. Subtraction is definitely a theme.

Couldve gotten a lot more for sanny at the tdl if fletcher didnt extend him.

Clarke would have to rip himself for being one of the main influencers in hiring Fletcher in the first place. His ego won’t allow that.

Got to be more than that, St Louis only has $7M and change in cap room, Hayes retained will still cost $3-4M Krug/Sanheim balance each other.
So has to be another bad contract headed the Flyers way.

Me after slogging through 20+ pages of this thread:

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Why would we retain 50% just to get back a bad prospect?

Either Danny sucks, or this is wrong.

i'm thinking scandella..

Things might be getting spicy?

Ya retaining to help the Canes just to keep Lord Torts happy is dumb.

Because they have to move him and I guess don’t want to buy out.

Agreed, doesn't really make sense after hearing they are holding out on laughton if a 1st and 2nd were offered.

Probably couldn’t bring him back given the dynamic between him & Tortorella. Another example of giving a head coach this much stroke is destined to fail.

because getting rid of TDA for literally anything is a positive.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

They definitely don't have to move him though. Like why even bother?

Sure he sucks as a human, but I'm sure we can do better.

Torts gets what Torts wants.
