Well, somebody's gotta live in AV's dog house.

If this team is successful, we have Hextall in large part to thank. I'm more concerned about current Flyers management screwing up what Hextall did.

If Chuck had come in and gone hog wild sending out picks and prosepcts for 30 yr old vets and burning second picks like they were 7th as used to be the norm, I wouldn't be happy at all. That catches up to you, and is what forced Hextall into cleanup mode for 5 years. As long as we continue to build primarily through the draft, things should be fine. I still get scared whenever Dave Scott talks about this team..

Scott is a suit. All he cares is that the team gets better on the ice. As long as he doesn’t interject himself in hockey decisions or lower their payroll below a cap spending team (there’s absolutely no evidence of this) then he is irrelevant to the equation.

[Weekes] Hearing Yandle likely signing with Flyers on a 1 yr deal
- shekkie

Odd to say the least. He looked cooked. Yandel and Braun 3rd pair? York and Zamula in the AHL it appears. Not sure I like if true.

[Friedman] Yandle to PHI -- 1 year, $900K, NTC. Forgot he has played for Vigneault, so knows the coach.

He's a left side defenseman. So it means either York isn't playing or Sanheim is getting moved? Brutal!

One year deal, not the worst thing in the world for those kids to play in the A. Always injuries as well

Acceptable if they popcorn suite him and give York serious runway to prove his way.

Looks like York will be in LV playing in all situations to start the season

- ClaudeFather


This could signal that they're going back to 2D on both PP units. Risto, Ellis, Yandle and Prov are all PP capable.

He will be riding the bus a lot this season. I actually don’t mind this, there is always injuries and it’s just one year on a very low cap hit.

True, our PP has gone very stale . Add in Jake leaving and it’s going to change.

I hear you, could have left one spot for a young guy, but he could still play right. Probably not immediately now but he will most likely get in at some point.

I can’t wait for this team to do well so we can all hear how miserable you’ll be 😂 explain how this is bad - why is giving York ahl time and a mid season call up while playing a CHEAP pp specialist for 1 year a bad thing?

I will wait, this outta be good…

Yandle is a locker room Fav also. Chucks culture change in full effect.

Yeah, let’s just rush York with ZERO backup plan. And if he struggles we can all complain that Chuck threw him to the sharks. York is a KID, he will have a shot at camp and certainly play some games this year. Some people’s posts here, good lord.

IMO, even though York looked good, he should spend some time riding the busses. If/when he's ready, you can make room for him.

IDM Yandle on 1-year, $900k. With Jake and Ghost gone, they need transition-capable players on board. Ellis can't do everything himself.
