Wow, that is a lot to give up for Deangelo.

2nd & 3rd in 2024 and a 4th today....based on what was already posted on our (lack of) success drafting after first round, I'm fine finding a RHD entering his prime with something to prove. Gotta give to get and takes the development factor out of the equation.

Exhibit A on how a poorly run franchise operates. A Win Now mandate handed down from on high has a GM making moves out of desperation. This is the result.

Chuck so bad he's even got the Pens fans feeling sorry for us

eh i like having someone to dislike on the flyers.

politics aside the kid is a punk. he will also make the team better, which helps prevent the bottoming out. all that being said, putting aside any character issues, its still a confusing trade from an asset management perspective.

Did Fletcher just add picks for fun? Did he think the rights to Tony D were a hot commodity? 80% of the league probably wants nothing to do with him

It gives him less decisions to make in each of those draft years. Deciding is evidently not easy for him.

Such a Clarke move - MJL

Even the most loyal of Stepford's will find a hard time rationalizing it. There will be a few though.

DeAngelo to Philly.


I like it

2-3 players away, Tony D and Johnny hockey

Such a Clarke move - MJL

To be fair, it kinda is

Does Fletcher like 2nd rounders? Got Tony D a year too late

This team sucks. I legit hate them.

What every GM of all of the other NHL teams wants to hear today: "Chuck F is on line 1 to speak with you ..."

What's his deal going to be? How do they afford Gaudreau now? Remember, it' a done deal.

I wonder who the third mystery player will be that when combined are taking us to the holy grail of hockey... 🤔

Tony and torts torts and tony……….this is a match made in heaven!

You think that is desperation, wait until he tries to trade one of the countless overpaid deadbeats on the roster…like JVR and a 1st for a 5th rounder.

I still think Provy is being moved even with Ellis on LTIR. Let's see how it plays out.

Tony D does a lot of on ice work with local youth players. Skates with them somewhat frequently and easy to talk to. No publicity. Helps out more than anyone, like yourself and others would know. He is a good guy.

Funny thing is he wanted to play for Philly last season. Flyers didn’t show much interest. Wonder if that was an AV call.

They are foolishly in win "now" mode. So when you look at it from that perspective it is good move. 27 year old D in his prime. Real good move.

Unfortunately, no one in the league is dumb enough to take Hayes or Risto.

Hartsy and Andrew Ladd were also bouncing between center and wing a bit early in their careers.
- Tomahawk

Hartnell, Ladd, JvR and John LeClair were all bouncing around at center early in their developments. LeClair brought this up in his interview with either nasty knuckles or spitting chiclets

Ellis is probably done no? Sign Tony and Risto this off season , you sign one for the third pair?

Ellis must be done.

Ellis must be done.

Except for his salary bite ...
