Let's position ouselves for the next year after the expansion draft. Pull the pin on this group. Seriously trade the one who don't fit or get what they are trying to build towards. Time to stop waiting for little Billy to figure out what 2+2 is....let him figure it out on another club who doesn't care about getting to the Stanley Cup....these guys do not fit the into what they are doing time for Chuckels to put his goddamn big boy pants and do his goddamn job....retool and fix this flawed roster. And it starts by first no longer over valuing these kids. 8 minutes ago, RonJeremy said: We are not on the cusp of greatness, it doesn't make sense to buy at the deadline Yes for sure but it is ok to buy a physical very well skating big 6-4 defenseman who has 4 or 5 good years of hockey in him. I certainly am not wanting to hit the reset and find other kids and wait for or 5 more years to be exactly where they are now not knowing WTF they are doing. EKHOLM CAN HELP NOW. 11 minutes ago, RonJeremy said: If there is a fair deal to be had, then fine This is exactly what this is....so move on from Patrick for him....before he too has no value left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is where you're wrong. You're completely leaving out the over rated bum ass veterans who can't play. And who are supposed to be teaching the kids how to NHL. And those are the ones making huge cake. Edited March 18, 2021 by flyercanuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not leaving them out trust me i am more pissed at them than the kids but we are stuck with this over paid ass clowns and no one will want them....the kids still have some value.....right...i know that is debatable after that -6 performance from the Sanheim/Myers duo...but i have to lie to myself and think someone somewhere still thinks those two can still play pro hockey....or we are truly f**ked.

I guess we have to wait and see how the market plays out. The more teams bidding on Ekholm, the higher the price. We are offering Patrick as the center piece of this trade. At this point Patrick is a failed #2 pick, I guarantee other teams have a better player to offer, so if we dont value Patrick, I am sure Nashville doesn't either. We are not in the driver's seat on this deal , Nashville is. We should unload what we can at the deadline and then also in the off-season. A good way to shake up an underachieving, complacent team, is to trade one of the veterans like G or Jake. This lets the other slackers know that anyone who doesn't put in an effort can be traded. That can be a very good motivational tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, last year the announcers were saying Meyers and, Sanheim have been the Flyers best pairing . Now they might be worse than Gus and Haag.

Yeah i know....they glanced at his stat line 27 games plays 3 goals 3 assist and that putrid -13 which leads the team with about 14 minutes a night played and just throws up....we're f**ked....where is the Walt Whitman again???

I could give a rat's arse at being good in a few years, because if Hart gets hurt.... this franchise will be in ruins, for half a decade.

I have a hard time believing Provorov/Sanheim/Myers don't know how to play hockey when we've clearly seen them doing just that, and quite well. it's tough watching an entire team, other than about 2 guys, regress like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else can we at least trade these two because they can not play hockey. I would take whatever i can for them. And please let's put Ghost in the take what we can for category too. When Ekholm was Ghost age he was putting up 10 goals (8 pp) 24 assist 34 points and +25 117 blocked shots and 75 hits and averaging 23 minutes a night for a two way defenseman...it is time to move Shayne if you can. He has as many goals as Ghost right now (5) and is a +7 on a bad Preds team. I mean just look at Braun (+9) compared to Myers (-8)....yuck.

OccamsRazor Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 NHL TRADE TALK NHL Trade Talk: McKenzie on Flyers’ plans, price for Mattias Ekholm https://phillyhockeynow.com/2021/03/18/philadelphia-flyers-nhl-trade-talk-deadline-possibilities-mattias-ekholm-bob-mckenzie/ However, given the Flyers’ play as of late, one of the big questions is if the Flyers should even be buyers. One trade won’t fix their underlying issues, but it could lead to things improving. Bob McKenzie got into all of it on Wednesday night. “Fletcher’s gotta ask himself … is adding one player going to completely turn things around? And yet he knows that they need a replacement for Matt Niskanen, and the obvious name that’s out there –– and one that I’m sure the Philadelphia Flyers have talked to the Nashville Predators about –– is Mattias Ekholm. “ McKenzie went on to say how Ekholm would be the perfect fit for the Flyers, particularly Ivan Provorov, and also Philippe Myers and Travis Sanheim to “insulate them a little more.” So just do it. There will be hockey next year too. We don't know what the season holds but they still need help now. Stop living in fear of what might happen they need a good vet D man.

I am at a loss of words to describe their Benjamin Button like development (i guess if you never seen that movie you won't get that reference). It's mental weakness, or having a beta male personality. Some players rise to the occasion when given more responsibility or when under pressure, others wither and die. We have some talented players who really lack mental toughness and fire. The veterans are the same ,so they can't teach the young guys. Do you think the Tkachuk brothers give up like our guys do? We need some fiery players to push the young guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) @RonJeremy So you're saying, as long as guys are spearing dudes, slew footing, face washing in scrums and ultimately getting worked by Drew Doughty it's okay that they play for losing teams? If NAK would just be less disciplined and score a little more he's your guy? No matter the team's result?

You can’t elevate something that horrible, when you don’t have enough talent. If you have talent and they are not playing to their ability, that’s where a Tkachuck kinda guy can light a fire . Sometime you need an ahole to motivate people. Pronger is kind of a dick, but he held his teammates accountable and took the team to a higher level. Mike Keenan was the biggest douche of all time, bet he went to the Cup with three different teams, four times. This team is like Hakstol on the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
