I wish they weren't so needlessly negative. 28th? That's higher than I have them. And happily. Bedard or bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With York being an offensive style dman and a lefty, I could see them trading Sanheim to shore up another area. If Ellis is not coming back, then that may change things. Then I don’t see how you can trade a defenseman, but if Sanheim wants to become an UFA , then you gotta move him. Chuckles needs to give Sanheim a reason to stay. So far that hasn't happened. He is too busy being hypnotized by all the shiny toys out there, all the 30 year olds and their agents who can't wait to fleece our idiot gm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well the draft in general screams old time Flyers and hard to play against so I guess that's the plan? Seems to be the opposite of the way the league is going, but who knows, sometimes these things turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Best tweet i have seen this offseason... I went with Tuesday. But my gut tells me Chuck runs it back. Edited July 11, 2022 by OccamsRazor #boubonup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudreau's clearly a great player, but he's also 28 and coming off a significant outlier of a year. He's the epitome of a buy high candidate really. I can easily see Chuck tossing him 9M for seven years with a full NMC, and just ditching whoever else he needs to make the math work. I also have a very hard time thinking he'd be worth that type of contract. Ideally, JG will prefer going to a contending team or something and be willing to sign for less to get a few cracks at a cup run. At 28 though, and given the childhood team stuff, it seems almost inevitable that we're in line for our newest albatross contract signing. Besides, one might argue the Flames are one of those teams. He could just choose to stay put if a few runs at the cup is what he really wants most. At 28, my guess is he'll opt for money over glory. It feels an awful lot like the Hayes situation. Granted, Gaudreau is a better player than Hayes, but the situation still feels similar as far as the actual contract goes and its likely impact on this team for the next several years. But, they need some player they can brand and sell to try and put people in those seats. JG fits that mold admirably well on many levels.

As reported, he's already sitting on an 8 year, 9.5 mil offer from Calgary. He absolutely won't be worthy of the deal he ends up getting(isn't worthy of an 8 year, 9.5 mil offer), and the damage that type of contract causes is far from being worthy. This is where the Flyers just have to just say "no" and walk away. There is NO WAY Johnny Hockey is worth that. That type of deal would put the Flyers in Cap Hell for years to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except "Cap Hell" doesn't register with the Flyers esp not this clown of a GM. Who in their right mind would allow Kevin Hayes to eat up >$7mil / year of the cap? Or Ristolainen >$5mil / year? I agree with your point I only wish it applied to the Flyers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 So there's a rumour that he's trying to dump JVR's 7 million and will give up asset(s) to do it. I like the idea of dumping him, just not sure of what asset(s) I'd want to give up to repair the last year of a big mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
