Bertmega Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 He as close to being fired as I am being an NBA first round pick.... I trip over my feet and am 5'10". Until there is ownership that cares more about winning and less about corporate profits, it will be more of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Is this an option worth looking into? They are deep at RW. TK could be traded too/as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of extending caphits longer. The team isn't going anywhere presently, so just let these shite contracts run out and hope and pray Fletcher gets promoted before he can sign more dumb stupidity. Of course his first move will be to hire some clown from houseleague to GM just cause he's from Minnetonka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about the cap hit it is making room for the kids they have to play which should be by next year on a few. Just look at the logjam and you're also free up cap space at the same time. Just worth discussing. Brink Forester and Lycksell are ready to make the transition. So why wait 3 more years?

Atkinson has three years left. Jeezus, even Fletchers best trade is terrible. edit: ok, he has 2 left. If this isn't yet another career ending injury that Fletcher seems to covet in all his transactions, he's probably tradeable once healthy.....IF healthy.

Exactly you want to wait to bring Foerster up when he is 24 Kid is ready now. Brink will be 24 too. At some point in a rebuild you have to move the older guys out. Now you may find a taker for Cam but maybe more likely not. TK is ripe for the trading too. If not now then when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it until the Flyers started winning, then Hayes gets an All Star nomination, even Ristolsinen starts looking like a serviceable D-man…it’s all going the wrong direction. GMs don’t get replaced when the team appears to be heading the right direction and for Comcast I’m sure “appears to be” is plenty good enough (provided it leads to PO appearances). POs or no POs if they finish near .500 they won’t replace Fletcher. He and Scott will talk about how a healthy Couturier and Atkinson will make all the difference. They won’t be completely wrong. Maybe next year - if those 2 actually make it back - the Flyers won’t have any 10-game losing streaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyer4ever Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Dang, just another tease post. All the winning they have done against the b and c pool and still they aren't considered even a bubble team by the hockey beat writers. But the arrogant fools at Dysfunction Flyerland think anything can happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Given the nature of this letter, and that there's absolutely no way that Torts released this without club approval, Fletcher's not going anywhere anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
