When your GM's best offseason move is resigning Owen Tippett You know you are screwed. No playoffs again this year.

WTF???

Well if lazy ass Hayes likes him we are in trouble!

Hope you are right, but I will reserve my decision. I still say power forwards are over rated.

I would say locker room issues as in no real leadership. My opinion though.

Not really sure, just feeling I guess. I remember when JVR was supposed to be the next power forward superstar. Look how that turned out lol. I also think the power forward in the NHL is going the way of the dinosaurs.

Flyers land DeAngelo from Hurricanes, reach 2-year contract https://www.tsn.ca/1.1822974.1657294729 Not sure how I feel about this. It looks like the guy wears out his welcome on a team pretty quick. Discuss.

Not overly impressed. But we will see I guess.

Sorry, but I just don't see any team giving a first round pick in this draft year let alone a prospect and pic. Hope I'm wrong though, would love to see the shelves stocked again. But this is Fletcher we are talking about so he probably trades our first rounder and Konecny for a prospect.

Quite honestly this franchise will be a joke till Fletcher is fired. Am I happy with Torts... No, but short term he might be ok. But you can't play with the big dogs with a kennel full of puppies. And that is what this team is full of and Fletcher keeps signing sub-par players to top end player money.

FFS.......

Now that Bruce Cassidy is off the table what are the odds Fletcher pi$$es around till all the good HCs are snapped up and the Flyers are stuck with yet another sub-par coach? I put the odds pretty damn high.......

IMO it's hard to rebuild a competitive team around one high priced star. Not saying he couldn't help the team down the road. But then you end up with a player like Giroux on the down side of his career trying desperately to help a week-ish team to make a playoff run. Again IMO you are better off spreading that money out to sign a few mid range FAs to build a core of decent hard working players. Then when the team is competitive game in and game out then go out and sigh your high end talent when the team is ready to win. This team is no where ready to win or take the last step.

A high priced FA like Johnny Hockey will not get this team to the playoffs. This team already has too many overpriced players, Hayes, JVR and Ristolainen all three are overpaid for what they bring to the team, not to mention Ellis. Fletcher needs to focus on bringing in mid tier FAs to build the core of this team. As for your question, yes I think they could afford to bring in JG but it would take some major moves and I personally think it would be a mistake. But hey, this is Fletcher we are talking about so...........

I'm torn here, Tortorella would definitely light a fire under this team and tear the coasters a new one. He is not a long term solution. Personally I would rather see Trotz here. But let's be honest, nothing will change as long as Fletcher is GM.

Is this for real? Only Chuck and Flyer management could think this is a good idea. Good lord this franchise needs a top down purge.

Hard NO to Tocchet, he has proven nothing in his coaching career.

Post of the week. well done.

Fletcher has been repeating the same spiel all year. Yet is is still giving out long term contracts to marginal players and overpaying them to boot. No way in hell this team will be competitive in the next three years. Yes they are that bad with little talent in the pipeline. Remember a couple high end youngsters won't make this team magically good. Fletcher got fleeced on the Ellis no two ways about that, so I sure don't trust him with a goalie out rebuild.

Who do you all pick for winning Lord Stanley's Cup? I have in the final Calgary vs Florida With Florida winning. So who yea got?

As much as special teams are important you play way more 5 on 5. I would much rather a HC that looks after the 5 on 5 game first.

That kid can play some hockey, sure would love to see him in Flyer Orange. As for HC they need to hire some hard ass coach that will change the attitude of this lazy ass team.

He was done before the idiot Fletcher traded for him. I have never seen a GM as incompetent as Fletcher.

Well with you saying Fletcher was a nice guy to send prospects Bunnaman, & Rubstov to just give them a chance to play. I thought you might have needed a refresher as to what a GM's job entailed. Which is to improve the team he works for not to give away prospects just so they get a chance to play. That is laughable.

Sorry Fletchers job is to make this team better not to give assets away just so they get a chance to play. Fletcher F'ed this up royally. He got the least amount possible for Giroux and did next to nothing to improve this teams future outlook.
