Gaudreau makes this team better. He's far from what they need from a physical standpoint, but he would be a good pickup...like a Voracek for him deal, although Jake makes more money.

If I had to choose...I mean had to...I'd take Taylor Hall and hope he can work his "1st pick overall magic" yet again. Well something is going the other way if this goes down so I hope it is Jake buh bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"he can't stay in the lineup on THIS defense and you want what for him???" Maybe. I just find it hard to believe someone hurting for offence wouldn't think he was worth the gamble for a late round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Gaudreau makes half of what Hall does, and losing seems to follow Hall around often. Hall is a $8 mil hit...Gaudreau is at $6.75. I don't want either...but I would take the 1st overall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You nailed it with Hall. Gaudreau is more of the same. Only smaller and softer. A good pickup? No. Just look at Calgary...he's a driving force behind their suckage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they are right but these are the two names mentioned most. Oh hell no..... Mr. Me First Screw the Team and another “super-star” who disappears in the playoffs... I’ve gone to bed with more pleasant thoughts.... I will be one very disgusted and disgruntled fan if either one of these 2 wear O&B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 i'm just gonna try to relax and not worry about what Fletcher thinks he's trying to accomplish. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I've had my doubts with the GM Fletcher in the beginning and have been steered back in alignment with his forward thinking. This looks like one of those bad decisions at first and does not make sense at all, but he has been able to storm through people second guessing him and come out on the other side; unless Deucalion and Pyrrha replace players, stone by stone are they fearing rebuilding the Franchise? This could be the year at end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 If the supposed “major deal” doesn’t bring back a strong stay-at-home d-man it’s the wrong move. The very last thing the Flyers need is a Hall type or JoeblowsAtHockey. One Hayes is more than enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want either...but I would take the 1st overall. If it is Hall, you’ll get the 1st overall for as long as he’s here. Look at his history. Every team he’s played for ends up with the #1 or a lottery pick. There’s some kind of black cloud that follows him. I’d rather have Johnny hockey, if I had to chose. If Ghost clears waivers, he’ll probably just go to the taxi squad and not down to the AHL. Edited March 30, 2021 by AlaskaFlyerFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Anyone heard, that the Flyers have interest in the Red Wings' Jonathan Bernier. I don't want a goalie coming off of an injury...especially if the goal, is to make the playoffs. His contract is 2.5 mil per. Is that worth it? I don't think so. There are so many needs on this team, although his stats are pretty damned good this season, on a bad team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 If they do get Bernier, the whisper of Hart resetting in the AHL would be worrisome. It's risky to loose Ghost for nothing, but Fletch doesn't know if he's a buyer or quasi-seller, until about several days/mini series pass by(BOS), and then having roster and cap flexibility to make some moves/trades happen and still be able to have Ghost under 10 game management/[re-]waivers is risky to loose for nothing. Very few GM's can perplex and Chuck Fletcher's watermark is on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would pretty nicely add up to Ghost's money, and they're both UFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget the 29 soon to be 30 year old Coots who will also get 8 million for 5 or 6 years after next season. So we may get 2 or 3 decent years out of him until he falls apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Chuckles has to know he has to act now with the way the schedule is coming up if they lose to the Isles, Bruins twice i think that is a wrap for the season... ...and then he knows he will have to fire a coach or two....i don't think it will be AV but his assistants would be gone one if not both. I think Comcast asshole would insist. But CF should have acted a few weeks ago when we were saying what we all still see now....and well he is running out of points and time.
