Sanheim got worked by Barzal on a shift last night so bad that I am officially done with him.

MJL and I agree on Frost needing better line mates, but he might just be not that great. All I’ve been wanting is a better look at his game, and we’re seeing it. How could any player trying to find his game succeed in this situation ? It will not happen here.

He was not a liability from day 1. That is false. Toronto had cap issues.
- MJL

JVR is slow footed and a liability defensively. He also is a one dimensional offensive player, where most of his goals are tip ins and deflections. He was never the type of player this team needed, and it was an absolute horrible signing by Hextall that really made no sense given the type of player JVR is and was and the state of the team at the time.

That’s fine but then you are ok with perpetual mediocrity like the Flyers have been in for the past decade or hope that they get extremely lucky and draft elite players where they are seldom found which this franchise has not done since 2006. There is no third option by your own admission.

No, I believe if they get the right management people and coaches in here and do a complete revamping of that, they can improve. I don't believe the Flyers philosophy of team building works in the modern day NHL. There are many, many high quality players chosen outside of the top 5 in the draft. The NHL is full of them.

So far nothing new. Pretty much what we should have expected.

Nothing earth shattering is going to happen until the deadline and the off season. We all have to accept that.

It helps to draft a couple of elite players like Matthews and Marner. What have the Leafs won?

Most high potential players start off in the NHL. Example for the Flyers would be Provorov, Konecny, Patrick, etc. Sanheim needed a little over a season. Farabee played 5 games for the Phantoms. Frost was a different situation due to the injury and needed some more AHL time after missing a full season. So what are you talking about?




Yes, getting a top pair defenseman, a 2nd pair defenseman, 2 top 6 level forwards, a #1 NHL goalie as well as drafting a total of 10 NHL players not counting Allison who is definitely an NHL player but can't stay healthy. Outside chance that O'Brien might make it. That's good drafting. Not great but good. He obviously was not able to add an elite player.





Like most fans, you don't seem to understand what tanking is. Tanking is not trading players who aren't in your future to acquire draft picks. Tanking is purposely fielding a non-competitive team to get a higher draft pick. Trying to consciously lose. An example is back when Pittsburgh was in the running for Lemieux and the first overall pick. They sent a goaltender down to the minors who was playing well and called up an absolute stiff to play goal. Stating that they wanted to see what they had in him. They did that to purposely lose more games to try and get Lemeiux.

Tanking or this poop, what is the (frank)ing difference? Get good (frank)ing players in here by any means necessary. This poop is pathetic.

Get off your high horse.

Yes, they are. So you add in high draft picks from the next two years as well and you have the beginning of a good prospect pool. It’s also two years off those contracts and like you said, these things take time. This team won’t be competing for anything for at least 5 years. Those contracts won’t be so bad.

Exactly, yet the fanbase lost patience during the Hextall years. You couldn't handle it then do you're going to tell me you can handle it now?

Perhaps, but even the captain of his current team knows what kind of player JVR really is.

A “(frank)ing pigeon”.

"Aggressive retool" feels like a promise of more alternating between getting bounced in the first round and outright missing the playoffs.

This is honestly worse than I was expecting, Scott saying 2-3 pieces away is all I needed to hear.

Most reporters are probably over at the Eagles 11am presser. Carchidi's probably one of 5 reports in the room. I'd love to see them flip the camera around.

Horsepoop.

It’s not our fault the players we picked suck.
It’s not our fault the medical staff we picked can’t keep them healthy.

Clueless bums
