All fine and dandy to give the kid a chance, or any other prospects. 

 

It's the paying them for what you hope they become that I have the issue with. 

 

We're good mojo...we're always good. 

 

It's just sometimes your optimism makes me sick!  

Easily explained by the age difference. You have seen more foolhardy trades...more playoff disappointments, more horrible GMs. Any Flyer fan over 50 is jaded...and rightfully so!

OK...here is a real positive spin. Over the next few years, Errson, Fedotov, Kosolov and Barnjsson (the WHL goalie) ALL look like actual NHL starters and despite looking great, Feds is moved for a 1st and a top level prospect. All due to Danny NOT giving him a no trade clause!!

They have more money than they're spending on Fedotov in dead cap space for Petersen in Lehigh.

 

This organization isn't looking to bank cap space at the moment.

Yes, but Peterson's deal brought in tangible assets. He was a means to an end. IF Fedetov flops, its not the same thing asset wise, its just a bad contract.

Here's where I got my information.

Nothing says, they made an effort to overpay. That's just silly. 

everything else you wrote i can't really disagree with. I don't like it though.

 

The terms of the deal being terrible or decent really depend on the player. 

We won't know until we know, the team is terrible now and it may be the best time to make this kind of evaluation.

 

 

It does not look like it when I re-read...but there was a touch of sarcasm in that first line...lol.

One thing I can guarantee...Danny might have made the final call...but some pro scouts will be sleepless come training camp...cause if you highly recommended Feds and he flops...not good.  I dont think you make this kind of commitment on the word of a loosely affiliated rink rat...their scouts were over there watching and apparently liked what they saw.

It really does look like they were competing with themselves in an effort to overpay. Every red cent of the cap has to be spent wisely. Its the way horrible teams become decent and good teams become great. 

 I read the terms of this deal were predetermined before Feds came over....so the bad start had no bearing on the inevitable deal that was made....assuming that report was accurate. 

 Best case, he becomes a solid starter and its a great deal. Worst case, he helps secure a 1st overall draft pick by really sucking...not so bad... eh?

 If he ends up really being horrible, it would not end up getting this management team fired, but add this to 3-4 more bad decisions and its unemployment line. At the very least, Danny is hitching his rep as a talent evaluator to these questionable KHL stats...we shall see....

Mr. Game 7!!!

 

8-1 in the 9 game 7s he played in.

Justin is tied with Glen Anderson at 7 game 7 goals...but Justin has the record for Game 7 points...15!

Byeeeee Frosty tips. You will not be missed.

Well, yes, but what about the Flyers organization?

Well, it was a Fletcher decision...hopefully this regime would be smarter.

Think what they could have gotten if they traded him a year or two earlier.

Probably a limited return. Never been a great skater and any knowledgeable hockey mind would anticipate that declining with age. Injury history factors in...but the big one is the inevitable looming contract that the receiving team would be responsible for.

If everything fell the Flyers way (losing last 3 games) .. teams ahead of them needing to win the appropriate number of games the very best the Flyers could draft would he #8. 

Its the Flyers...they will win all 3 remaining games and just miss out.

He's 6' 4" and apparently soft. He was scoring at a good pace, then like the Flyers he fizzled out when the games started to matter. Should fit right in. 

 

 

Quotes from Swedish fans translated...

 

"Of course he has scored a lot of goals, but in the rest of the game I don't think he delivers at all anymore."

"Not delivered in goals or recently, Has scored 2 goals in the last 20? Surprised if he gets an NHL contract."

"It's just naive to think that with that club technique and puck handling he would even be considering an NHL contract"

"Eklind !!If, against all odds, you were to read what we fans think of your performance against Örebro yesterday, you would rightfully be ashamed.Stop loitering around on the ice, take care of yourself physically and don't let opponents who weigh 20 kg less than you move you, show your heart and f*** it.."

"Can actually agree a bit, with that size he has to ask some questions of the opponents! Get a little meaner, step on!The opponents did not hesitate at all and they had the stated goal of playing physically on us in EVERY situation, which it seemed they did."

"Did you see what Keegan Lowe yelled at Eklind after the whistle at 00:33 - "you are f***ing soft"..Eklind lowered his head and left.Away with him. Something is wrong with his head."

"Suits Eklind quite well though, he is extremely soft for his size,"

I trust the fans here 100%. Talk about damning! Signing this guy, even for AHL fodder seems outrageous. Does not fit in the bottom six for the Phantoms and takes away a top 6 development spot for an up and comer...brilliant !

You spelled Celebrini wrong. (I'm saying there's a chance lol)

My understanding is you can't move up more than 4 picks...thought I heard that, could be wrong. 

Apparently, Torts wanted to move into the upper management in Columbus and their GM wanted no part of it. Pure conjecture, but I believe he was hired with the promise a cushy Bob Clarke advisor role in the near future. 

 That future may come quicker than anticipated. It kinda looks like the team has quit on him....or maybe they are just crap...or maybe a combination. 

 Some more pure conjecture, have not read this anywhere...my own thoughts...but benching Coots, who is a very popular Captain and teammate may have pissed off players who are loyal to Coots and we are seeing the backlash in actual games....just a theory.

They only have one contract left for this year and i wonder if they are waiting to sign Rizzo with it the problem with that is he is out and hurt anyways.

Release one of the other contracts and sign Rizzo and Graf?

They need to go after college free agent Collin Graf

 

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/201742/collin-graf

 

With their piss poor center depth do everything in your power to sign this kid show him the path to center should be the leat resistance in Philly.

 

Not saying he is a #1 by any means I am just thinking of add top talent for almost free Danny needs to chase hard after this kid.

Agreed...Graf would be a nice get in a real area of need. Nothing but cash to lose...GO GET HIM!!

I always wondered if anyone in the NHL ever thought/tried to bring in a Sumo wrestler, put some skates on him and just plop them in front of the net?  sounds like a good idea to me 

NYI former owner signed a Sumo wrestler...was quickly scrapped.

That doesn't hold water. If my ten year old knows that assaulting women is wrong, then a 20 year old should know. This isn't about a drunken sexual encounter. This is five guys who took turns on this girl and ejaculated and spit on her. Don't tell me they didn't know what they were doing was wrong. They knew.

They also walked in the room with Golf clubs in an effort to intimidate her into doing what they wanted 

Didn't see this coming. Great news!

Take care of this kid Danny he may be just what this defense needs is a few years.

 

2nd of the night. Let him cook!!!

Some nice dexterity for a Dman that big...me likey.

Sometimes these kids just "have it". With the KHL being a better league than the AHL, his stats say there is a real chance he's better than Sandstrom or Peterson. Maybe it was all meant to be...throw caution  to the wind and let's catch lightning in a bottle!!
