Playing Hayden Hodgson and Adam Brooks is such a waste. What happened to Konency?

The Flyers could still turn this around, it will take a minimum of 4 years though.

1) Draft better
They NEED to win a top 2 pick (Bedard or Fantilli) in 2023. They could possibly have 2 1st round picks in 2024, hopefully they can get a crack at Kiviharju.
Need to start finding some solid defensemen prospects in later rounds.

2) Make smart trades
Get everything that is possible for UFAs (JvR, Braun). Trade Sanheim if cost is too much.
Not going to unload the big terms (Hayes, Atkinson, Couturier, Ristolainen), gotta run out term.
Only shop some vets if return is good (Konecny, Provorov).

3) Most important! Offseason signings
DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT sign any UFAs with a longer term than 2 years or more than 2m. Most Important to turn this around....do not sign anyone other than temp depth. Even if it's a 100 point player DO NOT sign them. That will destroy the team further. Wait at least 3-4 years.

4) Hopefully the current team can build a work ethic that has been lacking for over a decade so young guys can build from that.

Until they clean house in the front office there’s little hope for any of this happening.

Even if they draft well they can’t develop for poop.

Chuck is not going to make smart trades. And if he does his track record is like 1 decent move for every 4 terrible ones.

You might get your wish with UFAs solely because I can’t see why any worthwhile player is going to want to sign up for this never ending circus.

Don't care about the country club or Chuckster. If I'm running this train this is what my base plan is.

just checking in....
I see Provorov isn't playing. Have they said anything about injury? Seems weird him and D'Angelo aren't in the lineup together.

I can easily see DeAngelo leading the team in scoring this year.

Can we please get a line up that resembles an NHL line up on Tuesday?

If the PP doesn’t improve dramatically the lack of scoring is going to be ridiculous. Frost and DeAngelo looking like they could help there. Ersson played well.

Yup, as long as the Flyers get 5-3 PPs, they should be able to score once in a while. 5 goals in 5 pre-season games
