Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline 2025: Will They Or Won't They?

[SolidSnakeUS]

Flyers are putting a high price on these guys just so they can "We tried" when they had no intention of ever trading them. Just to make torts happy.

 

[Fuzz]

They are worried about replacing Risto. They are going to have cap space this summer. Trade him and address it in July. But no this organization is incompetent

This is more proof they are not rebuilding for the future. Why should they care about next year. Risto is not part of the future when the Flyers are hopefully a Cup contender. But they care more about packing the stadium & selling tickets next year then sacrificing now to be a Cup contender later on. It typical mediocre Flyers mindset.

These individuals haven't been born yet.

I really hope if Danny doesn't do whats needed to be done, that even the casuals and authentics turn on his stupid ass

The Authentics don't want Laughton traded

 

[BernieParent]

Nelson is twice as good as Laughton.

Laughton is a half-Nelson?

 

[Larry44]

Surprised they allowed this guy in the building wearing that

These are going to be my two next sweater purchases....

This is essentially PR to show the Stepford’s they tried but ultimately land on the preferred route of what they always wanted to be on which is keeping Ristolainen. It’s not even remotely a serious ask.

I think its hilarious that Leafs fans and Bieksa on Sportsnet are pushing for Laughton to Toronto so hard

If the barrier for your team making the next step in the playoffs is Scott Laughton...you have some issues.

"We value Laughts and Risto and were not shopping them...teams were calling on them and we listened. Ultimately no one offered us anything that comes close to what these guys bring the Flyers, not only on the ice but in the locker room.

Plus, we did our moves early with our deal with Calgary. We were not going to do a deal, just to do a deal. We like our guys and are happy with our direction".

 

[BillDineen]

They want to be in on Rantanen or Marner (trading a late 1rst to be able to sign one 8yrs at the draft) and think Laughton and Risto are key pieces to compete as early as next year or the year after. That is why it is so hard for them to trade them.

 

[SnS]

Dumb ass organization

 

[Crescent Street]

These players and agents are not stupid. Why on earth would anyone like Rantanen or Marner want to play in Philly right now? It's more or less a career death sentence.

 

[DancingPanther]

Guy I've never heard of #2 returns a first round pick.

Meanwhile, Laughton will not get traded

Careful dan

Careful danny might take this.

I’m more interested to see who you have heard about.

And this is where rebuilding teams who are not close get into long term trouble.

this site is getting ready to go nuclear..

Ah, that's why the website stopped working.

Is that

Danny boy is playing 40D chess

is that Flahr's bra size

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The spin of this trade as two young stars for each other may end me. Two putrid contracts.

I think I’d rather have the Norris end of it though.
