Figure out the core players and get rid of the rest, starting with Giroux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you'd have to add to whatever you get for Giroux just to get rid of Hayes...that's how valuable he is. At least if another of Fletchies great acquisitions, Nate Thompson, was playing, Hayes wouldn't be the slowest skater in North American hockey.

If Giroux gets injured and you can't get the same haul for him later on, then what? Hayes won't get you as high a level of return, and those pieces will be important moving forward. It is so important that they deal Giroux, as quickly as possible. If they wait, it will just set the franchise further back into the hell they're already deep into.

We have added John Torchetti to the club's coaching staff as an assistant for the remainder of the 2021-22 season. He'll join Mike Yeo, who will remain interim head coach for the remainder of season, along with assistants Nick Schultz & Darryl Williams. ...nothing like signing a guy who was a part of the 2010 Black Hawks and that black cloud from the scandal. I hope he had nothing to do with the player who was assaulted and the cover up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 For those keeping score at home ....the Flyers now sit 1 point out of picking 5th overall in the draft. Depending how things shake out, this team now has a legit shot a picking #3 overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terp Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Scott emphasized that he doesn’t think it will be a “three-five-year rebuild.” All he said it will take is “two or three” players to complement the strong core group he believes the Flyers have when they’re healthy. He and Fletcher both pointed to the bad luck the team has had with injuries. [Translation: I (Dave Scott) am still deeply, deeply in denial, going so far as to say that, just like last year, and despite a 13 game losing streak, a last place record as well as a worse performance than last season, we’re still three players away from being a contender.]. Queue the “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic” analogies/laugh track. Likewise, Scott said he likes what he’s seen from Fletcher and showed no indication he has plans to rework the front office in the near future. “Right now, Chuck’s my guy and we’re trying to build around that,” Scott said. Let that sink in for a moment: Chuck’s….my…..guy…. He doesn’t even know to be embarrassed. [Translation: Look, maybe I scared you with some of my earlier, laughable assertions. But please allow me to reassure you by saying that I’m completely delusional, have no intention of admitting any mistakes, and need to allow Fletcher another season or three to completely gut this team before I wake up and acknowledge the stench.] Follow on question for Dave Scott: Which of Fletcher’s moves do you actually like? Other than a couple of draft picks, I can’t think of even one that has worked out well for the team, so let’s start with something, anything to back up your affirmation that he’s your “guy” and to validate your soundness of mind. Skinny: It is difficult to imagine a more frightening and depressing outcome to this press conference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott's been leading the "definitely a playoff team" bandwagon since he got here. You'd think the experience of having been wrong so often might have taken a toll... That said, so they're 2-3 players away from competiveness with a core that they considered an already competitive roster at the start of the season that was revamped from "one of the best rosters in the NHL" last season. Good to know? In other news, this is a clear sign to anyone trading for Giroux that they should expect he will re-sign with the Flyers next season... 24 minutes ago, terp said: “Right now, Chuck’s my guy and we’re trying to build around that,” Scott said. Let that sink in for a moment: I got another thing to sink in... Right now That's not the vote of confidence he might have thought it was...

Tomdog Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think you have a different definition of competitive from scott and Fletcher. Their definition is battling to be near a wild card spot, that would be competitive. I would call it not good enough, or not competitive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 21 minutes ago, OccamsRazor said: Great …. Who are the Avs giving up? Byram or Newhook? I would prefer Newhook…. After being selected 16th overall in the 2019 draft, Newhook has continued to develop towards a superstar NHL career. His freshman season of NCAA was outstanding with 42 points in 34 games. He followed that up last year by debuting in the WJC with Canada and scoring three goals and six points in six games. In a short freshman season back at Boston College as a sophomore he again produced above a point per game with 16 points through 12 games. At the conclusion of the school season, he signed his pro contract and went to the AHL where he continued to dominate offensively with nine points in eight games. The Avalanche recalled him to the NHL for the final six regular-season games and he produced three points. Perhaps most impressive was his NHL playoffs where he played in eight games, scoring his first NHL goal. The best is yet to come with this dynamic offensive forward. He may be forced to play more on the wing early in his career, but look for Newhook to not only make the roster but be a serious contender for the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie along with teammate Bowen Byram.
