nice pick up for the Oilers once again the risk of drafting a kid out of college sucks for Tampa too because you're almost have to trade him because he can just wait till August and sign for free...i just hate that rule.

this needs to be hung entering the Flyers thread section on the top...the Flyer way.

Matvei should be resting...lol

right now i am just happy to not see a NTC/NMC needing to be handed out #3 Dmen like him can be moved with that contract however if he has another up and down season like we seen i can deny i ever said i was ok with him and trade his ass it depends on the degree of idiocy i see on the ice...i am so meh on this team my feeling for change often like i'm bi polar

i get it i said a long time ago 2 year bridge deal or trade him by the last deadline right now i ain't making the calls Danny Jones is staking his career on these moves because at top he gets 4 year or he might be out the door his damn self i know they get impatient upstairs the puppet masters i trust them to give himself enough rope to hang himself the down side if it does work most by then??? i'll be 57 and still damn 2 years away from being 3 years away...and Cupless

can't argue with this i say let it ride... ..it's going to take alot for i come back full time watching...if they don't give a damn i don't giveafu ck!!!

as i said (or was trying to with my ADD i forget sometimes if i even got to the point of a comment sometimes) if he slots at #4 at that price it's not the end of the world this year and say by the time they go into 2026 it will even look better unless he sucks and kept there for the shear sake of the contract or worse be proven to really be a #5 or #6 then it looks not so hot. but as of now we are arguing about deck chairs on the Titanic and disputing which one reclines the furthest... ...hope that isn't too dark of an analogy but well it's been earned over the last 15 years...

i have read they'll waive Fedotov to keep from LTIRing Ellis so they can bank cap space all season so yeah this roster might be pretty much done besides using call ups. Danny need to get them kids some playing time when the opportunity presents itself

the only way...

i can neither deny or confirm that i with many of you he hasn't been consistently good we've or i will say i have seen some damn good stretches of play from nothing spectacular he is as best a #2 on his best game but is 2nd more on average a #3 most of the time at best. not saying the chart is accurate just what i am using so let's look at #74 and #76 for comparison. #74 Jamie Oleksiak in the last year of his deal making 4.6 million. Seattle's 2nd pair guy. #76 Jalen Chatfield has this year and next making 3.0 million. Canes 2nd pair guy. So that is a solid comparison and i think York is slotted not to bad i guess when the cap goes up every year. I am not a cap experts but i am hoping for a rebound season after York had to deal with Torts trying to ruin his career. I want to give Cam a chance because he is home grown and i don't hate him. So under Tocchet i am willing to give him a chance to revive two guys i was very willing to trade on here. Tippett and York. It's a whatthefukc season so i am willing to let it ride and hope for a swipe at McKeena or Verhoeff as a consolation prize...top 3 i would be ecstatic to land before going aggressive next summer. and for the record i am not saying the way i laid this all out is the best way to evaluate the numbers because i don't use corsi and all that i just use the good ol tried and true GenX eyeball test. maybe someone will say i need to get my eyes checked. I say as an better hockey guy than i @JR Ewing outside unbiased opinion on Cam's play vs his new contract and if he thinks it's a good deal or not for us. and who knows by the time the spring rolls around i will be totally on board with trading them both. In fact i am pretty sure by next spring i will still be saying move Tippett by the deadline or the draft but move him. York however i am hoping he show last year was a fluke dealing the Terrorist coach....

Mason McTavish rumors swirling all last night...guess we'll see false rumor or BS. Montreal and Calgary in on it too.

agree. guess we'll see this coming season...

completely agree new coaching staff we'll know more about this come next spring to fully evaluate them though new staff and all it will take 2 full years too fully know so let's revisit this at the end of the 2026 season to many unknowns right now to call now. I agree completely but at the same time with their dreadful past well it would be bad optics attracting big free agents the summer of 2026 if the NHL knows you sign a guy to a 5 year deal then traded him in the first year of it at the deadline. Danny Jones can't afford that. The good/big/strong/winning teams like the Panthers, Bolts, Oilers, Vegas and a few others could maybe afford it because they are winning and players like to play for winners. the Flyers don't have that luxury kind of hard for Danny to sale well back in 2010 we were in the Stanley Cup finals pitch...

no where to go but up in my mind...

that move would be bad business for the Flyers it would send a very bad message to the remaining players as well as free agents i would think to say "Don't sign with those guys unless you get a NTC or NMC because they won't honor the contract. I can't sign off on that move i just can't now in a year or two if it ain't working then maybe i would be more inclined to move if it isn't working out. Just my opinion. i am happy the Flyers stopped just handing out those NTC/NMCs because it handcuffed them.
