I highly doubt Giroux comes back. Why sign in Philly at a home town discount when he could sign with a contender for the same money. Giroux will chase a cup with the years he has left.

Been a Flyer fan sense 1972. But I'm done till Fletcher is fired. If that is all that A-hole could get for Giroux, there is no hope. Tampa Bay just gained a fan. I will still follow but won't be watching any games. Sad day for me.

The Philadelphia Flyers traded Claude Giroux, a fifth-round pick in 2024, along with prospects Connor Bunnaman and German Rubtsov to the Florida Panthers on Saturday, in exchange for Owen Tippett, a first-round pick in 2024 and a third-round choice in 2023. The Flyers are also retaining 50% of Giroux's $8.275 million cap hit. First round pick in 2024 is conditional that it is not in the top 10.

Tippet and unknown draft picks. Specific details to follow. Fletcher gets taken again. Panthers land Giroux in deal involving Tippett https://www.tsn.ca/1.1773410.1647730459

Just heard about this, all I have to say is. WTF is that idiot Fletcher thinking? To say I'm pissed off is am understatement. This team is going nowhere under Fletcher. Can't wait till the signing of Giroux and JVR to a new contract is announced. In fuc@ing believable.

No, but you implied the one reason they sell out is because of other team's fans. I have no imperial proof but I doubt that is true.

Maybe true, but a sell out is a sell out.

Wow!! Cheap shot....should be a suspedable offence not?

I don't know much about Tocchet the coach, but I do know the old time "Flyer Hockey" does not and will not work in the new NHL. So personally I hope they stay away from Tocchet and go with a younger coach from a proven winning franchise. I know I mentioned Torts but have came to my senses and no longer think he would fit.

Well here is the thing. Their top for are head and shoulders above the Flyers top 4 so lines 1 and 2 goes to Edmonton. Pretty sure their 3rd line is better than the Flyers 3rd. I will give you the Flyers 4th is better as I don't know. The Flyers defence is no raving hell being anchored by the likes of Ristolainen, Yandle and Provorov. The flyers might have an edge in goaltending but it's hard to tell the way Hart is playing. Don't get me wrong I would be happy if the Oilers never make the playoffs again, but all in all they have way more talent and are younger than the Flyers.

Would trade their roster for ours any day of the week. To clarify I despise the Oilers but I don't think talent is their problem.

I don't know...Edmonton kinda has some talented players. Unless you think McDavid, Draisaitl, Puljujarvi and Nugent-Hopkins are no talent bums.

Who do you all think the next HC will be? I think they need an established NHL coach not a rookie. I would not be apposed to John Tortorelle to change the character and team culture of this team. I pray it isn't Yeo.

Don't hold back.......

Yup, 7 mil for Hayes trading for a broken down defenseman Ellis and a big dummy Risto. The list goes on and on. I would love to see Fletchers plan to build a team. The Philasota Flywild. FFS if I wanted to cheer for a Minnesota team I would.

I have absolutely no faith this management can turn this around in any amount of time. I wish I could just quit cheering for them.....but I can't. Fletcher has no business being a GM. Clarke and Holmgren have no business being management.

I have come to the conclusion that the management and coaches like golf more than hockey. Why else would they let this $hit show continue? Sooner you are done with hockey quicker you can golf.

Are you serious? Fletcher = F'n idiot.

Question, has the home attendance suffered with the team sucking? Not sure if I lived close I would pay to see this club play.

Not a shot at you but we were good till Covid is BS. Every team in the league is dealing with Covid not just the Flyers. The rest of the league is doing okay dealing with it. Piss poor coaching and player development and a GM that dosen't know a hockey player from a ballerina is the problem. Covid is just an excuse.

Yah-fricking-hoo another Minnesota Wild coach. Should fit right into this $hit show.

Not exactly...wax isn't suppose to make your car faster, coaches are suppose to make the team better.

The coaches that are still here are all AV disciples and his hires so no wonder the team is still faltering. AV's stink is still all over this team. Unless you think Yeo is a NHL caliber coach? Seeing you loved AV, Yeo might just be your kind of coach.

A few posts ago you agreed with a post saying it was management. So I ask again which is it?

Anybody know when the last time the Flyers outshot the opposition?
