Confirmed with Link: Tony DeAngelo on unconditional waivers in second buyout window.

[ajgoal]

No, but a smart franchise who is supposedly rebuilding could use that cap space to take a bad contract for real value, or help use it to facilitate trades, I can't be the only one thinking this is horrible asset management, yes tda is piece of shit, but there are now missed opportunities due to bad asset management

The flip side is that you would not have that money to do so this year. Yes, having an extra $1.7 million next year would be nice, but having an extra 2-3 this year is probably better.

Capfriendly, Meltzer, and COC, all deleted tweets saying it was mutual.

Hockey media is such dogshit

I can see why Capfriendly wouldn’t know, he’s not a reporter. When unconditional waivers are used, it’s most often for mutual termination. I guess the flyers weren’t clear on that on the off-chance he is claimed.

The only reason to do the trade was if they liked the prospect.

 

[Striiker]

This is the flyers, they obviously will not lol

Exactly, so that’s the part that’s the screw-up.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

So what do you all think everyday life as a Flyer employee is like?

My headcanon is that a clip of Tortorella saying the word "culture" with that weird ASMR mouth is played throughout the building on a constant loop. And Hilferty comes out of the walls like the T-1000 to slap blue IBX patches onto the nearest surface, living or not.

 

[freakydallas13]

He was in the lineup, and if Ghost at $4.5M for two months could only garner a 3rd two years out, what do you think TDA at $5M and one more year on his deal could have garnered at the TDL? Probably unmoveable.

 

[Striiker]

I'm not blaming Capfriendly when they're just going with what the official team account said. That's the best way for them to default tbh. They're not trying to break news.

You don’t need to blame them. I’ll do it enough for both of us.

Remember the Torts story about him seeing the blouses for the first time?

That’s a great one.

 

[Rebels57]

So when does Tortorella get fired? How many more assets will the Spiritual Leader destroy first?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

He's going to get bought out and signed for free rofl. Probably for real cheap for a year, too.

Truly masterful management.

remember when him being signed was a nothing burger..

"hes just a depth signing! why are you guys getting so worked up"..

#nothing matters

"The Hindenburg wasn't a disaster. Instead of waiting to land, they decided to go the explosion route."

People criticize Oceangate's sub for imploding, but they are overlooking that they promised an up close view of the Titanic and delivered.

 

[sa cyred]

what did he do?

*insert fake surprise gif here*

SLURPPPPPPPPPPP

It was a failed trade. They tried to illegally push it through and then could no longer wait any longer due to their own limitations. That's a failure.

It was a failed trade twice over, first when acquiring him and second when trying to get rid of him

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Yeah, and NEXT YEAR, he wouldn't be on the books at all, which is my point lmao, now he will be for another 2+ million.....it's just horrible asset management, especially with 5 million off the books we could have taken a bad contract from a contender for a 1st or a prospect

1.65 cap hit is better than 4 million. This was the correct decision.

Seeya locker room malcontent .....

@DancingPanther

What about a buyout?

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

Yeah, not looking good. Hopefully one of the teams that miss on Karlsson pivot to DeAngelo since the Flyers appear willing to retain salary, but I'm sure there's several franchises that have him black listed, so I'm not very hopeful on any sort of return for him. It does feel like Carolina or...

Was the 2nd incident simply talking back to torts? Classic Flyers

 

[Hextallent63]

i wish i knew what happened between tda and torts.

 

[Danko]

Fletcher had absolutely no idea what he was doing.

 

[04hockey]

i wish i knew what happened between tda and torts.

wish I knew what happened btwn ghost and AV

2 power play specialists too mouthy in the locker room ?

seriously

 

[landsbergfan]

 

[ProcessThis]

Good thing Fletcher's gone. Otherwise he'd probably be using this new found cap space to offer a top 10 protected first to Arizona for Galchenyuk.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

That's TDA's burner, right?

No shoe drop, but...

The Monthy Python foot did.
