GratefulFlyers Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) “….and we owe so much of our success this year to Chuck Fletcher, our GM, who had some tough breaks with all the injuries … yet still managed to deliver us a roster that, led by an All-Star center, has a lot of potential … next year we’re looking at actually making the playoffs…I’m really excited by the great pickup of Milan Lucic, and signing him for the next 4 years…” With that Tortorella stops, excuses himself, then vomits all over the podium.

Looks like Fletcher will still be GM and lord help us if the Flyers are still within shouting distance of a PO spot. Lots of “great” rentals will be available. I know they've made many bad decisions, but we will not be trading for rentals. We will trade JVR. Don't know about any others, hard to say, but that'll happen.

It wouldn't surprise me if they end up moving Hayes as well by retaining some salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Risto has spending time with him coaching him on what to do in his own end....next we'll see Ivan run into the glass and check himself and then we'll know the task is complete - Chuck's vision.

Flyers could use Matvei Michkov too but i am sure as soon as they draft him he'll been shipped to Ukraine and killed in a HIMIR attack. Especially with their luck with Russian players the last decade...it seems like destiny. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like some sort of lottery... Edited January 13, 2023 by radoran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, we all have, and Michkov has certainly become the uncertainty pick but maybe that'll be the bright side of picking around 10th (the way things are going). He will be long gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The only way to get rid of Chuck is to prank call him and tell him there is a job with the Wild waiting for him but the offer expires at midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
