1. That’s right…. The gift that keeps giving… (though… and correct me if I am wrong…. But that $$$ no longer counts towards the cap) 2. I totally forgot about Briere being bought out in the same year….. oh the irony….

Bryz is still lost in the woods ........ Who ever thought a goalie would duck from a puck ..... (SMH)

We did have a "real" goalie momentarily at the very beginning of his career, but the Flyers decided to part with him and go with the Russian Bear .....oh what could have been......sigh

are you being sarcastic or serious? Most of the time I can tell…. This isn’t one of those times…. A legit offer I think would start with a 1st rounder and legit prospect along with a goalie of either Errsson / Kosolov / Fedortov (forgive and misspellings) That would certainly speed up the rebuild process….. it is a very interesting thought… I give you that……

All seriousness….. there is no way Sweeney trades him? Right? That would be a very bad look for the Bruins FO.

Meanwhile I wait patiently for this to be resolved as Swayman sits on my bench….. sigh

or the idiot fans on FB / twitter will be thumping their collective chests stating they know what they are talking about….. #keyboard warriors

I think you misunderstood my comment, and after rereading my post, I can see why. I disliked the pick at the time. I don't dislike the player .... I agree with your entire post. Sorry for the confusion ....

good video ..... @AlaskaFlyerFan posted the same video here .... It was a good watch. A few things I picked up on .... 1) There is a true comradery in the locker-room. I don't get any sense of division. Of course I recognize that production will try to put a positive spin on things. 2) I am impressed how Torts thinks of the whole team mentality is a positive one and that he will stack that up against any other NHL team out there. 3) However he is quick to point out they don't have enough talent. (more to that point in a moment) 4) I appreciate the business like attitude the players have, if what was portrayed in the video, actually happens everyday on the ice. 5) Jett has made a very positive impression, apparently he was one of the few who could keep up with Tippett from a skating drill perspective. (more on that in a second). 6) Appreciate the candidness of Torts but lets be honest, production will not allow negative comments that Torts might have of any player and be aired in a public fashion such as this video. I am sure there there are concerns for some but they will remain private. Let's be honest here .... I have not problem with a unified team and a “Kumbaya” type atmosphere in the locker room. However, the ultimate goal is to win a Stanley Cup and to do that you need more talented players. Michkov is a start. Despite my personal feelings Luchanko may or may not exceed many of our expectations. Torts admitted that from purely a talent perspective, they may not be on the same par as other NHL clubs. That falls squarely on the shoulders of the FO. As far as Luchanko ..... what is good for this kid overall. Does sending him back to his Junior team help him more? Can he handle the the overall grind of a NHL schedule? Ideally I would love for him to go to LV for a portion of the year. However the CBA does not allow for that. An argument can be made to allow him and Michkov grow together and develop that chemistry ...... It is apparent he has made a very solid impression on the FO staff. However, I am in absolute agreement with other suggesting be go back to his Jr. Team. I am not opposed to a 9 game tryout to show him what he needs to work on, but IMHO it would be best for both him and the Flyers for him to go back to his Junior team. Finally it is interesting to note that Torts does really care about the numbers of the skating drills. He is more focused on how the respective players handle adversity. At least that is what I picked up on ......

yowzers ... that is a big boy .....

I have no objection to this line of thinking.

This is going no where, besides we already have a Flyer 2024 thread.

This was debated at length in previous threads.

Curious to what the asking offer was?????
