What do you mean, besides Hayes?  Everyone in that lineup should be playing below where they are, especially Hayes, with the possible exceptions of Farabee, Tippet, and maybe Konecny.

 

Ok. We'll agree to disagree put down your PS5 controller you're unplugged...

I'm not that bothered by losing out on Gudreau. I thought it would be a dumb move in a year when we should be dumping salary and acquiring picks in the next draft. Instead, I'm furious at the chronic mismanagement that's plagued this team for god knows how long, but exacerbated by the current GM, who for the life of him, cannot get anything done beyond overpaying for players no one else wants, and losing assets in the process. It should come as no surprise that he couldn't get anything done (unless you want to recapitulate what he did to get and keep Ristolainen and D'Angelo again), and the corner into which he long painted himself into is the reason. This will literally be the third summer in a row when he sheepishly comes out later this afternoon and says " We tried, we couldn't" TM. Other things I fully expect him to say:


"We made some calls, nobody wanted to help us."

“I like our team.”

“When Farabee is back at 100% it’ll be just like getting a Gudreau.”

 

This guy has to be unceremoniously fired. Any type of ceremony regarding his firing and I will not be satisfied. MN management wouldn’t let him do it there, but Comcast seems perfectly fine with him running the franchise into the ground and setting it ablaze to leave it smoldering and useless like the mines of Centralia. Flyers ownership is bleeding fans, starting with this one. **** these guys.

If ol' Chucky boy is delirious for Deslauriers then Chuck needs to be put on a 302 Psych hold

 

Screw this season ....I'm canceling my NHL Center package effective immediately.

You mean sold, in a few years.


That might actually be the best thing and get legit owners who actually care about their fans and the product on the ice instead of looking at it as a line item on an effing budget.

 

45+ years as a fan and this is the crap we have to look forward to ????

 

So many GM's have to be laughing hysterically at Fletch and the Flyers organization .......

Odd.

 

 

I had heard the Devils offered him the same as the Flames, and he turned then down.

Usually when a FA(s) sign for/with a team the odds of winning the SCF are supposed to be increased.

 

It is very possible that the acquisitions the Flyers made are helping them NOT win the SCF at all and in fact making them one of the worst teams in the league .....
