If GMDB, Jones, or Torts watched any of the games this weekend, AND THEY WERE BEING HONEST WITH THEMSELVES, they would have no choice but to come to the realization that they have no business in a 7 games series vs the top teams. They are so far away from being at that level. And frankly, even though they may be a little bit closer than last year simply because some of the younger guys took a good step forward, they lack that elite talent in every position, the elite speed and physicality to compete in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the depth to do so. So much work to be done, they are not even close.

I honestly wonder if gurianov was brought in so fedotov had someone in the locker room.

Did Friedman say that the Flyers didn't negotiate with Walker to try and work out a new deal?

Aren’t you the one who says you can’t believe everything they say?

By not signing Walker but saying they tried, aren’t they having their cake and eating it too? Appease the fans by saying we “wanted” to try and keep this guy but decided it didn’t make sense - then trade him for a 1st.

I thought actions speak louder than words?

It should not be anymore than 1 mil per. What has he done to deserve more?

I’m excited that they plan on going fedotov/errson though lol. I see a 75 point team in my crystal ball.

Glue guys are easy to find. Basically fourth line guys that are not devoid of talent and can score maybe once every ten games.
If you were a solid organisation you would have young guys who could do this on entry level contracts.
For all the BS about 200’ players how come they can never develop their own fourth line guys?

He can? Based on what the guy was out of hockey for a year and hasn’t gotten back to that level prior to service

yes the best path is through the draft. flyers history suggest it will not happen. Then your looking at another 3/4 years easy as those picks will bein 24 and 25,

now if they move tk and culture vet Laughton they can get more assets. We both know they will not.

I would like to see what they do this offseason. I think there is opportunity to make some deals. I think Ottawa and Winnipeg are some teams to watch. As you pointed out the question is will do it?
