IMO they are too focused on getting the square peg of a Coots, TK, Sanheim & Laughton core into the round hole of winning.

That very well could be true for reason db didn’t sign him…. It doesn’t matter tho does it. It doesn’t change the fact of what the flyers did later in response to cg. Philly had his rights

I have said personally I would’ve signed him. I truly wish they did. But you simply can not lay blame that they didn’t at that point in March. They were well within their rights not to sign him.

It ends there

It’s not debateable

No, it doesn't end there. Not with the ignorance that you responded with. You were wrong on a number of levels in stating that it was about Briere thinking that Gauthier was not NHL ready. You were wrong, that simple. That's where it ends.

They were for sure. But I believe it cost them Gauthier. Most teams would have signed him and let him burn the year. The Flyers didn't. He wanted out shortly there afterwards. They made their decision, and it will probably bite them in the butt.

What will bite them in the butt was puffing their chest out and caving in and trading him for penny’s on the dollar.

They should’ve played hardball

Yep, I think they had the attitude that they were The Philadelphia Flyers and we do things a certain way. If you don't want us we don't want you blah blah blah.

"Db knew he needed more developement so college"

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...p?thread_id=187429&page=9

"I think it’s OBVIOUS he needed another year of college.

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...?thread_id=187429&page=10

"Obviously he wasn’t ready for nhl in March"

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...?thread_id=187429&page=11

"He wasn’t ready for nhl mentally which is proven by his actions

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...?thread_id=187429&page=17

"
Was db correct that cg wasn’t fully ready for nhl? Yes. He’s an immature spoiled (frank). Definitely should’ve been sent back to grow a little."

https://www.hockeybuzz.co...?thread_id=187429&page=17



Here below is your answer to my question of "how do you know that Gauthier was not ready for the NHL?"

"Seriously? How about the tantrum of not talking to the team that drafted you because you didn’t get your way. How about how he’s getting absolutely roasted right now for comments during championship game. He’s clearly an entitled (frank) that needs to mature. And I’m not saying he won’t but god only knows the other mental poop over last year. Not to mention he’s only 19 and there’s other things with young people learning to be a pro level player."



https://www.hockeybuzz.co...?thread_id=187429&page=18

"Hey retard. The case was made by db moron when he didn’t sign him. HE obviously didn’t feel cg was ready for whatever reason you (frank)head. What I need to prove to your dumbass is nothing. And what you think about cg being ready or not doesn’t matter. What matters is the opinion of the guy who signs him. So yet again you are wrong. Please explain to the expert why cg was ready to play. You’re a moron"
