Also, Ghost's value is probably not nearly what we thought it was if that's what Subban just got moved for. I still expect Hagg or Morin to be moved tho.

We cant view the trade in a vacuum. Subbans's cap hit was a factor as was Nashville's cap issues. While its not apples and oranges, it is granny smiths and red delicious.....

Did you love the Braun trade and Hayes signing too?

Liked niskanen braun and hayes in a vacuum as being players on our roster. Disliked the cost on all 3.

But he can’t skate he makes Strome look like Peggy Fleming.
He’s small and not as good as Caufield.

Fletcher is a secret agent for Montreal.

He’s 5’10”. Caufield is 5’6”. Give me a break. Whatever fits your narrative bro. Stick to the Sharks bud.

We didnt pass on caufield for size we passed on him cause the flyers thought York was a better pro prospect and clearly were targeting defenseman.

The Flyers just took a midget who doesn't have one tenth of the skill of Caufield.
Let's hear from you!

Do you need a tissue? Maybe a binky?
Do you want a tutor for reading comprehension?

It’s been said repeatedly the flyers did not pass on CC because of his size. Do you understand. Do you need an interpreter?

That has nothing to do with what I said but alright.

Not a fan of undersized players which to me is anything below 5'7.

Liked the draft up until the Brink pick as I wish they would have gotten a bit bigger.

I was reading that his stride is awkward. While he isn’t slow he doesn’t really have any explosiveness to really push the play.
Edge work is pretty good.
He can keep up with play.
Strome will now have power skating company lol.
