Rumor: Tony DeAngelo being traded back to Carolina next month but he also could not be.

This isn't the Septic thank thread.

You're on the internet. There's nothing but.

We have a thread specifically for dumb shit people post on twitter.

The purpose of retention is to move the player out and save some cap room.
There's no purpose retaining retention slots that you're probably never going to use.

The most probably other retention would be Atkinson next summer, if he rebounds, with one year left at $5.25M.
TK, Laughton won't need retention, and they're not going to use it on Sanheim.
Maybe Walker at the TDL, but you'd get that slot and TDA's slot back in summer 2024.
And that's about it.

 

[TheKingPin]

Hayes and Angelo are gots-to-go situations.

Why?

 

[Danko]

With ASF saying one of the hang ups was the prospect doesn't have a contract, that it is a center, i would assume it's likely:

Mattheos, Stelio

0 RFA

C

Yeah this weird obsession about holding on to retention spots is weird. I suppose there could be a need for one at some point in the future, but if we have a use for it now why would we wait? Especially on one-year deals like TDA that we would get back next summer.

Ask the Kraken and Vegas about the value of retention slots. Instead, Kevin Hayes clogs up one of ours for 3 seasons with a 6th round pick as compensation.

Konecny at 50% retained doesn't help his trade value?

or are we only selling off secondary pieces Torts doesnt like, and calling it a rebuild. - because it sure feels like that.

If you think not wanting to waste retention spots when you don't have to is a weird obsession - I don't know what to tell you.

Not that much. He's a bargain at his current price, and we can always take a bad contract back at $2M or so, like we did in the Provorov trade..

I don’t care what we get back for TDA. The guy is a cancerous tumor.

Ant says the prospect coming back for TDA is 'a totally Philly name'


too close

Rizzo then I'm guessing

 

[Magua]

It is absolutely horrifying that leaks include the names of (likely) 7th round college center prospects. If you can’t even keep that in house, you’re an open book for the league.

He’s a real crumb bum.

I didn't know Hoagie Cheesesteak Wooder Ice III was with the Canes.

 

[Curufinwe]

Why?

Because the team management decided so.

Is it possible we can trade Tony DeAngelo for himself?

On a serious note -

I'm betting on it being Jack Dugan

Yes one of the big ones of course.

I for one am shocked that a team which has changed none of the people involved is having the same results

Great name at least.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I will laugh if it’s Matheos only because they absolutely cannot quit missing with ‘15-16 Wheat Kings.

 

[deadhead]

I'm rooting for Rizzo, trade a racist for a player with the name of a racist, very fitting.

Rizzo would be a good fit, at worst, a great AHL player who'd be a good mentor for young prospects marinating there.
At best, a smart, high character bottom six forward.
He's having a great college career, will it translate or is he like Marody, who just lacked the skills to excel at the next level.

Ask the Kraken and Vegas about the value of retention slots. Instead, Kevin Hayes clogs up one of ours for 3 seasons with a 6th round pick as compensation.

The retention was financially about equivalent to a buyout. So in that context it was either one or the other since both have caps on the number that can be used.

Of course, there’s the argument that Hayes didn’t need to be traded now, that he could have performed well enough to draw interest at the trade deadline and in a worse-case scenario knocked a year off a future buyout, but that wasn’t done to dampen tensions and appease the coach. It undoubtedly smells like that. Or maybe Briere just felt clearing the $3.5M and the conflict from the room was easier than starting new trouble with his coach and blocking players. The somber part is that it’s hard to get excited about much because there’s so much Fletcher stuff to clean up. The rest of the Metro couldn’t ever do as much damage to the Flyers as they did to themselves by hiring him then not acting as he made all these ridiculous decisions. Al-Qaeda would have done less damage to the US had bin Laden been elected president.

Edit: Apologies for posting on their handling of Hayes in a TDA thread. Fog of war and all that…
