The flyers at the present moment are what the leafs were before they pulled the plug and tanked in 2016. An irrelevant team year in and year out on the cusp of the playoffs with zero cup chance. Konecny will be our Phil kessel extension in 2014. Extending a good player with zero plan. Just keeping good players around because we’re the flyers and we’re too proud to tank.

Why the Laffs? Why can't the Flyers be the Stars, Panthers or Rags? Those teams didn't have long rebuilds. Flyers will be contending when MM arrives and Berube will lead them to a Cup in 2027! Thanks!

It had nothing to do with the Red Wings...Torts was sending a message to Ghost. He didn't have control of him to scratch him, so he scratched him for the playoffs.

Torts doesn't just dictate his team, he dictates everyone.

I read this in Illuminati Weekly, sadly it was the fax edition and I had to burn after I read it.

Tortorella has a better chance of winning the Jack Adams award this year than the Flyers do of being a contender in two seasons.

I’m a Mets, Jets, and Flyers fan. There is no such thing as hope. But nothing happened this year for there to be this much anger.
- Flyers1218


It's supposed to be a rebuild and they'll pick 12th-overall and probably end up with another non-elite player.

That's where the anger stems from. Simple as that.

I swear from the deepest of my soul that if the Flyers drafted McDavid, he would be a 30 point middle six player right now.
- Glak18


with torts as his coach absolutely

but he would have 10-12 SH points!

Whelp while we wait for the playoffs to begin and the draft to come I thought we'd revisit some old stuff.

If I recall this person is an alt but I haven't seen them post in awhile, at any rate, I think they should stop predicting hockey outcomes.

He weaponized cap space to get a first round pick. Isn’t that exactly what you are supposed to do when you aren’t going to be competitive for a few years?

Blame him for the Ellis debacle? How is that even possible?

- Flyers1218


he also got Walker as a throw in, that turned into a 1st

Yes.

Difference is... MLSE finally saw the light and the need to tank.

Comcast being an entertainment company... I don't think we'll ever see them green light a true rebuild.

- wcorvette

had to take a cap dump back for 2 years to get that 1st. thats an important detail.

that kings deal was solid. should have got more imo for taking cal for 2 years. if walker was a throw in then should have also got more no? my breakdown.

ivan - for a 1st 2nd and walker

took on Cal - got a 2nd and Helge.
