Defenseman Nick Seeler is going to play fourth-line winger.

I just hope you are trolling us, sir. If so, that is not nice.

I don't think that is happening, I see Yandle playing out the season as long as he can play. Do you really want to expose another young player like Zamula to this dumpster fire right now? I think its better for Zamula to continue to develop this year on the Phantoms and start fresh next season.
- jd250


You could be right but I hope you’re wrong. They can “expose” Connauton for all I care. I just can’t stand watching Yandle play anymore. I understand why he is in there and it doesn’t matter now anyway. But earlier in the season I felt playing him sent the wrong message. That some things are more important than fielding your best players to have the best chance to win. But that’s way way down the list of what’s wrong with this team.

Chuckles must go. New blood at the top from a winning organization (Tampa, Pens, Blues, or Canes, or someone from Zito's new team in Fla). Flair has to decide between pro-wrestling and Flyers. Let new management figure out which talent to keep/drop/draft.

But the reality will be: CF = pres. hockey ops; a former Flyer as GM (Briere a likely candidate); and a new, double-secret bias for action that Clarke, Barber and other other dinosaurs approve.

No guarantees on anything. This draft is not very strong so the closer to the top the better your odds. Heck there are HOF players who were never drafted
- hfc355

Well the only bright side to how the Flyers are playing is they have a good chance of picking high in this year's draft.

Getting a little tired of the nostalgia for Ed Snider on this board. Team plateaud/declined since 1987 and his role in that goes largely unnoticed here. Under his ownership and dedication to "Flyers Hockey," this team traded away Peter Forsberg, Rod B, J Williams, Jeff C and Bob. 4 of those 5 are HOFers who won a lot of SCs and Bob may get there yet. And, he sold the team to a corporate group whose attitude about this team is one step away from "IDGAF." Yes, he did some great things but let's be a little more even in how we look at his ownership and legacy.

Bill, what is the state of the team press conference going to be? Will he be saying they will be sellers? I really don’t want to hear about injuries and Covid. I hope the media comes with some serious criticism because this is a joke and this franchise is a laughing stock.
- ClaudeFather


Listen to today's Flyers Daily. Jason and I discussed what we anticipate from the press conference.

1. no way keep him

2. no opinion on roest- not opposed to it

3. no way keep him

4. 50/50 on flahr

5. need a new coach 100%

6. yes to trade them all

7. to early to have a though on the draft for me

8. yes stay awy from long term deals unless in low 20 age.

9.no you do not play all kids if said kids are not good enough. See bunnyman and others.

10. all for another top pick. 2024 may be pushing it to contend though all depends what the roster looks like.

- hello it's me 2050

Yes I agree, I was thinking more our prospects like Frost, York, Zamula, Ratcliff, Foerster and O'Brien. We found out with Hart and York that they could handle the NHL and positively contribute only because we gave them a chance to play in the NHL. Hopefully Frost will get his act together, and we need to see what these other kids can do.

Between this crap and Bobby Clarke taking a public dump on some of them, what is it like to be a prospect in this organization? BTW, everyone who expects O'Brien and Cates to sign their agreements needs to realize that the CBA would allow them to walk if they stay 4 years in college. Could anyone really blame them for choosing to launch their careers somewhere else?

JOB hasn't shown a damn thing as a pro. No way should he be in the nhl to start next year. Now if he signs and plays a dozen games in the AHL and stands out. Then maybe


Ratcliff looks like a total bust. Hasnt shown NHL ability imo

enough with the Clarke false narrative.

Guess it is Clarkes fault 4 former 1st rd picks have shown squat and not helping the flyers in any way.

Maybe we can sign Lukko's son and play him, too. I did not realize that Chuckles drafted this guy 10 years ago. Wow, I look forward to seeing how right Chuckles really was back then ....

Narrative is 100% accurate. That is what he did. Other than a few folks on this board, the reaction to his comments has been overwhelmingly negative. Listen to NHL radio and they don't hold back. Neither did Friedman.

Keith Yandle is barely an AHL player at this point, let alone an NHL one. (frank) him and his bs record.

Scratch him, and if his teammates don’t like it, they can (frank) off too. The entire organization deserves nothing but scorn!
