Good points. I tend to believe there is more to this story that is known in the public. There almost has to be, the organization just doesn't get rid of cornerstone players for the hope of getting better with younger more unproven players, especially when you are playing in a big market like Philly.

I think at some level, Richards and Carter have some accountability in their trades yesterday.

- Troxell88

I think that is true and we will never hear about it.

I'm content to move on.

I hope Schenn pans out.

Bill Meltzer said today he is as close to a can't miss prospect as there is.
I've read other reports that list his max upside as 2nd line center.
Time will tell.

I think they address D with their first pick, which makes me really nervous, this organization doesn't have a very good track record of developing their own D.

Pierre saying Larsson is the best dman since Doughty in the draft... Take that for what you will.


And like i thought, they said he could fall pass 3rd in which case the debbies will pounce on it

THey won't be 27, so it won't be. The point is, these two took contracts in which the Flyers did not show them the money (that they would have gotten if they'd signed shorter-term deals and gone free agent at the first opportunity).
- bodiva88

they're millionaires for life, they'll be ok...these are guaranteed contracts outside of an expensive buyout. Strickland tweets that Richards was told that the moves were made in part because of the need for a "culture change". iow, they earned their way out of town in flyer mgmts eyes. I don't like the whole deal, but that's the way of major league sports.

That's why it is great to be a Flyers fan, never a dull moment. Plus, I'm a big Simmonds fan, I'm thrilled he is on the roster now.

I brought this up yesterday or this morning and nobody even responded. I have grave concerns now about resigning giroux or jvr or any other young star. Why should they believe anything the flyers say now. Their agents won't budge an inch.

those guys also knew there were locker room issues. how many coaches can a team go thru?
