So the assets used to acquire the player and the cap space used was worthwhile? Also, the even strength play by DeAngelo is worth the 15 PP points? Interesting theory.

You were told Provy is horrible on the PP, he is. The PP being bad is not on Tony D. The roster and the assets to get him are also not on Tony, that’s on the GM. I said nothing about any assets or trades, strictly pointing out TDA is not an issue on the Pp

The point is that Angelo is not the solution to the PP issues. Hence the deal was not worth it. He's criticizing the trade, not the player.

So DeAngelo is a net positive to the team because of being better on the PP then Provy with 15 pts on a dead last PP?

The only good part of the deal and signing is that it is only 2 years.

It doesn't seem as though you are aware of what the Flyers are doing. They are only refunding the cost of three April games for STH if they renew their tickets for the 23/24 season. It's essentially a sale on a handful of games in order to sell tickets for the following season. It has squat to do with what they plan to do at the deadline. It's not even a refund. They will direct the money towards tickets for next season.

The Flyers are giving STH holders 3 free games if they renew their tickets and you think that shows what they're going to do at the trade deadline. It has nothing to do with the trade deadline. It's about the Flyers ticket sales and attendance dwindling down.

So it's the Rangers rebuild minus a Fox and Panarin.

Ok fine, we'll go with your theory, that the Flyers having lost a significant amount of money this year because of decline in ticket sales and concessions, will do absolutely nothing different expect offer fans a discount on a couple of games, since the Flyers feel that is all it will take to peak fan interest in the team for the remainder of this season and next. Hey, I guess they can schedule another Pride night and Lindros bobblehead night, that will get the fans back, right?

It's not a theory. It's simply looking at the facts. You want something to happen, which is not going to happen, so you see that reasoning in everything. Did you even know what the Flyers were actually doing?
