I left out a lot of drinking so yeah that too. So last night I seen some reports that Ellis is going to play and TD is for the 3rd pair to play along side York. So I found it interesting and I can't find where I read that. I know I had more than my fare share of bourbon last night but either way not sure I can trust it. Till I see Ellis on the ice with the team skating and practicing I will not expect him to play....back to vacation. perhaps it was a burning bush or a golden fish that jumped into your boat where you heard it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been Chuck Fletchers way for going on TWELVE YEARS. It's nothing new....overpay for everything, throw away draft picks, sign bums to bad contracts. Some of us (the grumpy ones) saw this coming when Philly signed him. That's why we're grumpy, cause we were sick of it before he got here. Some are just realizing it. Some, somehow, still haven't got it. It's going to be a looooooong shitshow before he gets fired and whoever the poor bastard is that takes over recovers from him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Face it, the only thing we know for sure is that Fletcher doesn't like second round draft picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer4ever Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 The next GM will have an easy time. He probably won't have a draft pick for 3 or 4 years, the rate chuckles is throwing them down the drain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allison and Ratcliffe are in the system. They year they didn't have a 2nd? 2015? That was the deal Homer made for Andy Mac. Can you elaborate on Hextall's disdain for seconds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Rick Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 18 hours ago, ruxpin said: Hi HJ Yeah, I'm not really a fan of this. I don't hate the game DeAngelo brings, though I do dislike the person in the jersey. But more, I don't understand how he fits in or how he addresses the clear needs the Flyers have. Especially when we could have just used the #5 pick for a kid that was arguably better than what we drafted (satisfying BPA) and filled the need we clearly have. That filled need wouldn't have been immediate because Jiricek wouldn't have been ready for a year or two, probably, but the Flyers wouldn't be ready for at least that long either. The three blind mice thing is really because there's apparently no sober diagnosis of what is wrong and, therefore, the seemingly bumble stumble in the dark absence of a cogent plan. Think of the frustration for Sabres fans maybe 4-5 years ago or so. That's where Philly is right now. Nothing this team's "management" is doing is making any sense. It occurs to me that Philly has a bunch of managers and no leaders. I actually think Cutter could turn out to be a decent player. There's upside there. And I like D'Angelo's game, even though getting him makes me feel kind of like I did when the Eagles got Michael Vick. I wanted to shower. Vick at least made sense in terms of "fit" as a player. Funny your reference mentions this, but it really IS annoying that every Fletcher trade requires a twisted propaganda "explanation" from Fletcher. Once -- just once -- it would be nice if a move simply made sense on its face. Forget "winning" the trade. That's often difficult to measure. My criteria at this point is simply one that makes sense. You mention the Sabres in here. I just saw the Vegas line to win the Cup of all teams. There are 13 teams below the Sabres. Not that we have a snowballs chance in hell of winning it, but the fact 13 teams have longer odds is promising. It means they are expected to be better. Maybe even contend for a low seeded playoff spot? Of course we need a goalie for that to happen. The Flyers biggest problem to me right now is that maniac they just hired behind the bench. Only Keenan would have been worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Keenan would have been worse He may yet have growing pains this year, but I believe in your goalie. I think the Sabres will be in the mix but some things have to go right and some other teams might have to come back. Your division has the Bolts, Panthers, and Leafs. That may leave one spot. I'm not bullish on the Bruins but they may have enough. Wings should have goaltending and the Senators have improved. If they get goaltending they'll be in the conversation. But why not the Sabres? Barring injury, you could see some playoff hockey in western New York. It'll be a nice way to top off your Super Bowl appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stinking Adams never gave a look. So now it appears its Luukenen. Unless they make a move for Holtby which I would like to see. But this is Buffalo. It just never happens. Detroit has more money. I mean, unless you put Terry and Kim Pegula's worth in there. They are loaded. Own the Bills and Sabres and bought the Sabres first. If Luukenen plays decent yes, we have a shot. I like our blue line now that we have Powers. We have a few guys that can score. Thomson, Olofsson come to mind first. Himostroza is a good player. I am wondering what Jack Quinn is capable of this year? Skinner had a bounce back season. Bjork is good, guy we got from Boston and I think Boston is in for a long year. Tuch, Cozens, Krebs, are good and Caggliua I am not sure yet. There is one guy I really wish they would trade away. Jokuharju. Yes. I just do not like him. Never did. Over rated. At least now his minutes will be far less if they insist on keeping him. Powers, Dahlin, Colin Miller and Bryson are going to get lots of minutes. Want to keep your job Granato? Sit Jokuharju as often as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Rick Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 On 7/8/2022 at 11:55 AM, JR Ewing said: I know I'm an outsider, and don't think I'll be seen as trolling, but I don't like this move at all for the Flyers. DeAngelo will get his points, but can't play defense, has a checkered past, and will be paid more than he's worth. In back-to-back years, the Flyers have added two defensemen who are expensive in cap hit and draft pick capital, and neither of them can play defense. Then he will fit right in with Risto. LOL. Don't get me wrong, I still love Risto. I wish we still had him in some ways. He makes teams pay for coming into your zone. He is one tough kid. Dont worry JR. Your a mod here. Like everyone else but me. I need lots of moderation! LOL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
