It was widely reported he turned down a trade with the oilers for a 5th rd pick back in February.

What IF chat

Assume CF is going after Johnny G, are we hoping the Flames get booted in the first round? Will that bring down the price for Johnny G?

what other teams have a player CF might want?

As for the draft lottery tomorrow....

I have three tiers.

1) Wright, Slafkovsky, Cooley, Nemec
2) Savoie, Kemell, Jiricek
3) Everyone else, although I really do like Lekkerimäki

Tier 1...Really excited about for a potential impact player.
Tier 2...Not as excited, but still a potential impact player.
Tier 3...More of what they have.

Depending on how the balls drop this should be pretty easy, but for some reason I just don't feel confident.

I fully expect us to do poorly in the lottery. How far can we possibly fall? 7th?

Yeah, that may be overstating the case just a bit. Though the underlying fancy numbers back it up, as has been said, the bottom line is production. Though I will state that at least not giving up goals is a good start. Hopefully the production starts to match the stats next season.

when they write that stuff it sets them up for failure in the public eye to an extent.

Lou is senile. Firing Trotz over a season where Isles got hit hard over COVID.

I'd have to imagine that he'd be interviewed by us.

I also don't understand that firing. Guy gets the Isles to back to back final 4 and one crazy covid season goes awry and poof he's gone.

Trotz fired. If Comcast can’t even get this right man oh man.

Granted I wouldn’t blame Trotz one bit if he doesn’t want to put up with this joke of a front office/ownership.

That means we end up with Jiricek and he re-injuries his knee in preseason. Development gets stunted by a couple years, finally makes an appearance and looks amazing then hurts his toe.

No matter who the coach is, if the Flyers lose he will be the worst coach EVA.

For as good a coach as he is, he isnt the fit for where the flyers are at. At the end of the day what is he going to want? Help mold young players and contend in a few years or a vet team that is somewhat close that also has good young players with a decent window to win.

Comcast needs to back the truck up to him for sure.

He’s gotta want to be here tho too

All things being equal in terms of money and roster construction. Are the flyers at the top of his list you think?

Personally, I'd be happy if they got him, but does he want in on this mess? The isles are crazy IMO

I won't be unhappy with Trotz as there is no doubt in my mind that he will drastically improve the Flyers. However, I'd prefer a coach with a different style of play.

I hope he sees that there is potential here and an influx of youth happening soon.
I'd be very comfortable with Trotz helping to mold this young talent that we have here.
If we are going after a familiar NHL coach then Trotz should be the guy that CF goes after, hands down
