Real question... Who will actually tune in to the game today?

I won't be. I don't have the alcohol and cannabis needed to handle this ish

They just gave us another total lockdown.....nothing else to do...that’s my excuse anyways. Then I’ll come here tomorrow to female dog and moan....its therapeutic.

I have to agree to this. I like Scotty. But I see him getting over 3 mil with term...and he deserves it. If the Flyers have all these guys coming like I keep hearing about, how do you justify paying a 3-4th line guy that type of scratch.
- landros 2


They can’t afford to do it. Coots contract is coming up if they are set on keeping him you can’t give out a deal like that to a bottom 6 piece with these other contracts.

If Konecny is scratched in favor of Patrick then this is another reason to criticize AV. Doesn't make sense.
- MJL

Why, because Konecny has been playing so good? Pull your head out of your arse and stop trying to be coach.

I’m comfortable moving on from jake this offseason. Just with the cap not sure where or for who. Guessing we’d have to take a similar or at least 6 mil contract back.

He’s not going anywhere. He is however capable of playing an acceptable 200 ft game as evidenced last year. He just won’t do it

And maybe that’s the fresh face this team needs, swap a vet for a vet type situation

How we play TK and sit Jake and see how many less turnovers and bad passes to the opposing team there are in the game?


I am stoked Tanner gets a chance to play today, hopefully he impresses and sticks.

Well can’t believe I am pulling for the Pens today, all good I almost hate Boston as much.

So Boston lose and flyers go on a 4 out of 5 run and they’re back in it.
LOL

if that doesn’t happen it is time to sell. Laughton, Raffle, Nak whoever

Haha. We’re not in lockdown and actually in a pretty relaxed phase so I’m lucky I can distract myself with other stuff.

I expect another epic beat down tonight having seen how well barzal is playing.

Anaheim for Gibson was it? As bad as our goaltending stats have been this year, with better team defence And better dmen, our goalies have proven to be very good. I think it’s an overrated too give up on hart at 22. We’d regret it.

With the cap room those moves create, who do you suggest we get to fill the holes created and fix the d Corp?

Totally agree. If there’s a hockey trade out there to change up the chemistry, make it. I think more than just losing his play and ability to slot dmen correctly, nisky s departure messed up the chemistry of the team.

Sadly, I can’t see it happening. I expect we’ll be just playing out the last 15 games with nothing to play for.

The Vorecek contract is onerous and still has a few years left. JVR’s isn’t quit as bad and only has a couple years left. Both guys have shown they can still play. There have been a lot of Nights where by JVR has been the best Flyer on the ice. Vorecek has been inconsistent but still produces....not sure he will be by the end of the contract. With Vorecek it’s his defensive game that’s the most concerning to me. I’m not a fan of a player that picks and chooses when to back check. Unfortunately him and Sutter would be like oil and water.
The guys name I’ve heard for Gaudreau is Konecny...I’m not sure I would like that, but who knows what Fletcher thinks...the $ is close.

- landros 2


Thanks for the response. If I’m the flyers konecny is a non-starter in a Gaudreau trade and for that I’ve never seriously considered it. (But a man can dream)

While this is all just an unlikely hypothetical, with Calgary appearing to go into a re-tool I’d be down to take on the contract of decent but way overpaid players. Especially in a Gaudreau trade since I believe his value has slipped drastically since our western conference champions season. Taking on a bad contract will help maximize the return on him

Trade Laughton to a team like Colorado at the deadline for a 1st and you can use the 1st rounder as a sweetener for Seattle to take Jake. These are the kinds of gut wrenching moves that need to be made to churn this roster over


After next year they can be free of the ginger babies completely, resign coots and realign the leadership
