That is where you are wrong. It was 6 years from getting those players sure but how long did they suck before that? The rebuild doesnt just start when you drafter franchise talent. Rebuild started once they stopped being a good team.

Hextall has done it. This is the best team he can put on the ice right now. Any big trade that will make a difference involves a core piece going the other way. Other GMS want our young Dmen, they wan Patrick, they want Konecny and they want Hart. Nobody wants the players we are looking to move like AMac, Gudas, Neuvirth, Weise, Lehtera especially at their cap hits.

Trading Sanheim, Ghost, Provorov, Giroux, Voracek, Konecny, Patrick, Lindblom and the other prospects soon to make the jump is counter productive. The only reason to trade Voracek is if Nylander is coming back and lets not kid ourselves we'd be giving up a lot to make that trade.

What you see is the best team Hextall can ice. He tried to get a #3 C and he wasnt able to get one. They all signed elsewhere. A goalie has not been available as well. Like I said 2017 the best goalie available was Elliot. Do you think its a coincidence that Elliot was signed up until 2019 when a lengthy list of goaltending options hit FA market? No it is part of his plan. Doesnt mean he can sign any of them, it has to be something the goalie wants plus it could become a bidding war but the plan is to try.

Do you know what a rebuild is ? Do you consider what Hextall has done is a rebuild ? Would the Flyers sign a 35 million dollar...30 year old winger if they were still in a rebuild ?

We all see the plan...with regards to the goalies. But has it worked? Obviously it’s failed for the short term. I don’t think Hextall is incompetent as your suggesting. I don’t think he sees this team as the best it can be or the Flyers should really get another GM.

Where you are wrong is in your assessment that if you build through the draft you can’t make a trade to help your current team....a team by the way that’s expected to be better and take a step forward. Maybe they could move Simmonds for some help....in your estimation he’s ‘not good” anyways.

They have what? 11 more picks and they get a pick back if they don’t sign Tate

a lower pick, picks are gold in the NFL, that's why high ones rarely get traded for roster players.

I like Tate but he's 30 years old and they need speed, not another possession guy.

At this point they got practice squad guys starting at corner and I’m pretty sure the nickel guy was selling programs during pregame. Is anyone really surprised?
