True i think the reason we spend so much is because we never develop our own guys lol
- Philly1980

thats absolutely part of it.. but its also because we like to lock guys up. Look at our top 6. Not a single guy was home grown. Not a single guy has a ELC. We have one in the top 6 who is still of RFA eligibility

so you really think insiderr is legit? #confirmed

Not sure. But for those that hate on him he proved to be right. Have to give credit when its due.

So if we have around 3 million in space now, and we will have around 5 million in space once the season starts with Prongers LTIR, do we have to lose 5 million again next off season and add it back again each season after it starts?

I am really not clear on how that will work.

I love when Bundy puts him in his place

cause he's good player but not the best and people act like we need to put a stamkosesqe package together for him.
- JoeRussomanno

I wouldn't go that far as stamkos. Ryan is a nice player but the Flyers wont overpay for him.

What was he right about?

no, he makes blanket statements and contradicts himself constantly. The latest gaff was how Homer and Poile were having a big conference call last week, never happened. He does poop like that knowing full well he's talking out his rectum but he still gets attention which is all he wants to begin with.

What was he right about?
- funmaster18

He was reporting a day earlier that they would match the offer and the Flyers would have to give up the Schenn brothers for them not to match. Now was that the case I dont know cause I didnt talk to Homer or Poile about what was offered. I'm just stating that he never reported that they couldnt match.

Okay. I'm sorry. He's a fraud. Better?

hes on the same level as puckinghockey. Guys are both nitwits.

Yep. Just need to "get" this guy or "just sign" that guy. as if it's as simple as the flyers wanting to do it.
- funmaster18

Yeah I said something similar the other day. People wanting the flyers to fill out the roster by "sign Doan" and not even considering they don't have a choice in where Doan signs.

actually him saying they would match tells me something: he took a wild guess and was right. When I looked at this thing i thought yea, they can match it, just like yea I can go buy the new computer I need but I won't be able to pay my bills next month or give my kid a birthday. Just like I want to see how Nashville is going to handle this massive payment to Weber. Are they going to be a team that can't retain good players and have to move? I believe so but really I hope not, cause i do like Shea Weber and have no ill will toward that organization, but I think they made a bad business decision.

Nobody is forced to follow either. People have the choice to listen and accept if they choose to.

Dont disagree Joe. Just stating that he reported the Preds will match the offer. 50/50 chance on that being right.

I follow Manayunk and he's the only one. I follow him because I had a history working with him on Bleacher/Report, he is a local guy (not that I'm anywhere near Manayunk) and he isn't malicious i.e he's pretty decent to interact with. Otherwise I don't agree with what he's saying half the time but that's no reason for me to unfollow, I always like to hear the other side. Thing people have to understand is those guys like him and Incarcerated BOb aren't trying to be right or accurate they are trying to get attention. It's no different than analysts on major networks who make crazy predictions. NO one really remembers when they are wrong and when they are right they are geniuses.

edit: i follow Incarcerated bob too, sorry said I only follow Manayunk.

I'd mark that in a 50/50 guess. Most of his stuff is outlandish and often incorrect. From what I've seen, anyway.

At least 10% are true.

- bird_dog

Yup. Just like anyone criticizing homer for not landing any of the big 3 guys they tried to get. Homer have it his best shot, but he doesn't have the final say.

Dont disagree Joe. Just stating that he reported the Preds will match the offer. 50/50 chance on that being right.
- stveshdy

yea but what about stuff that isn't a guess? likewhen he said Poile and Homer were going to make a big announcement and it never happened, believe it was last thursday. He even got WIP sucked into his stupidity. Hopefully but doubtful they learned their lesson. In the grand scheme of things, it's about causing excitement and boosting attention/ratings.

I have stated that in a previous post. I just started following him to see what he has to say.

I can say this much. I respect Dreger and TSN but with all the people Dreger knows and the contacts he was saying "he didnt think the Preds could match the offer" and he was wrong. That doesnt make him bad at reporting what he though the outcome would be. Somtimes you can be mislead with information.

He has a track record of anti flyers blogs that most of the time are not based in reality.

I'd be better too if Mindy Muff was the coach of my team.
