Wow, that is brutal. Flyers must be gearing up to send a bunch of picks to the Kraken.

Is it? Can we really be surprised a 4th line player in his mid 30s didnt get a better pick? I really didnt expect anuthing higher than a 7th for him. There are just tons of other players out there that fit that role.

Per @CraigCustance Flyers get a 5th rounder for Michael Raffl

Who has a better chance of scoring tomorrow night? Raffl or Patrick?

The essential buying of draft picks is a bit unseemly.

Trading an asset for a draft pick.

Are they going to give it to one of our Gingers?
- xShoot4WarAmpsx

lol

Sad to see him go, I liked him. He was here for way longer than I realized.
- MBFlyerfan

Same. Very underappreciated player.

Except he wasn’t , he was on this team, so he was going to suck regardless
- ClaudeFather

So was Carter Hart huh?

Gustafsson is only sign through the end of this year anyway, right? So what is half the salary really worth. They essentially signed a guy that they didn’t really use. They lost nothing (except money under the cap) and picked up a 7th (which is pretty useless).
- leon neon

Scratch that. I thought Gus was only signed throughout this year. Apparently it’s next year too.

I hope we lose out. I really do.

Then we can lose the lottery again and be middling next year.

Cause I'm sure there is going to be a paradigm shift in the way we run our organization over the summer

This is a really strong pick up for Washington. Raffl is going to upgrade their 4th line. He can ship in offense and play on the PK.

Chuckies gonna chuck

I’d like to say he was mismanaged, what magical thing did they uncover in that week off. He has looked better since that break.

However Myers wasn't mismanaged? Got it.

Fletcher making it look like he’s active without doing a damn thing.

Dude he played 5 games on the top pair, we asked sooo much of him. Give it a rest .

To protect Hagg or NAK ?

How can anyone female dog about trading raffle and Gus for 2 lottery tickets. Those were 2 simple moves.

Little less than 3 million for 7th rd pick should have Mr. Scot upset however.

My expectations won't be low next year.
- MJL

Yes but you are not the experts or the casual fan. Naturally people will think less of the flyers.

I do think it could prime them to bounce back. Some players are figuring out their games. Sanheim , TK, farabee scoring yesterday helps. Morin comes to mind. Lindblom should be better. But they still need speed and a change. Unless frost really is close to a G they need upgrades with high skill. More than anything Provy has to be much better. No need to mention Hart because we all know

- MJL

no he wasn't'. You clear now?

- leon neon

Everything I’m looking at says he was signed to a one year deal.

Fletcher making it look like he’s active without doing a damn thing.
- PLindbergh31

Well they got their 5th back from the Nate Thompson deal lol

Exactly. even Provorov has been sub par. It's the total environment and the fit. I believe that Provorov would be a better player today if he didn't have to be the Flyers lead defenseman since he was what 20?
- MJL

Completely agree. And really hope they figure out a way to get him some help & ease his responsibilities some for next year and beyond. Unfortunately, much easier said than done

guess no one wanted giroux what a sad day

that's it Gust and Raffl? What'd they get for Raffl?

Dude he played 5 games on the top pair, we asked sooo much of him. Give it a rest .
- ClaudeFather

You act like I'm saying it was only due to playing on the top pair. Get it together.

that's it Gust and Raffl? What'd they get for Raffl?
- Dkos

7th for Gus and a 5th for Raffl.
