guess they are ok with funds from china however. yeah lets stop taking money from a country that was attacked by terrorist and is fighting back. good stuff.

No, they are not protesting 'taking funds from Israel.' Because Israel doesn't give funds to America or the universities.

And a big giggle about "funds from China"

I marvel at guys like you. If you were busting it and had no time for any news because you were too busy in your own lives and so on, I understand. But the thing is, you are here all the (frank)ing time, a fan of a franchise running a sophisticated con job, largely saying the same thing, day after day. You do have time to spare.

Why bother with having strong opinions about things you have chosen to stay horrendously ignorant about?

next time your out and someone wants to give you a beat down do you ask them for a month to train and meet here in 30 days?

That usually means that guy is shivering on some subway grate. I hold my nose from the stench and generally walk away quickly

Now, you will have to excuse me from this "real fight." Holmes.

Yes. That you know nothing about it at all beyond the most moronic cliches.

I’m pretty excited to see what Michkov can bring. If he was on my team I’d be happy with 80-90 points with shoddy defense while trying to upgrade him to serviceable.

I hope the Flyers don’t insist he play a good 200 ft and be happy with 50 points. An elite Poehling would be an epic fail.

They are asking their respective universities to divest their endowment funds from companies that are involved in the war. I strongly don't agree with them in this case, but that is the rationale for their location and it makes sense. Which is something you honestly should have known.

They are following a tradition of campus protests that is decades old. The same thing happened in 1960s (civil rights), 1970s (vietnam), 1980s (South Africa), etc etc.

Nothing anti-American about it. Quite the contrary.

Kraken fans are posting that they want the Bolts to hit the panic button and fire Jon Cooper. That’s who they want.

This isn't a political site you jackass!! Why would I stop positing? I come here to talk Flyers/hockey and guess what genius? That's what is supposed to be talked about on here. Politics and sports don't mix for the 1,000,000,000,000th time!! Thanks!

The Lightning dynasty is just about done. It was a hell of a run. I don't expect them to re sign Stamkos unless he takes a severe hometown discount. If Stamkos moves on, I wonder if the Bolts trade Hedman in the summer similiar to the Ducks tradlng Pronger. I do think Hedman will age gracefully and play at a high level into his late 30s.

This late in his career I’m guessing Stamkos would rather stay for the tax break over anything else. Maybe he goes to the Panthers

Michkov is slated to come over for the 2026-27 season. So let’s look ahead as we discuss TK. After next season, York, Foerster, and Frost will all need new contracts. After the following year Drysdale, and all the goalies will be looking for contracts. If we presume for this exercise each of the skaters improves over the next season or 2 and at least 1 goalie solidifies themselves as the #1, that is 5 larger contracts that need to be signed. That’s a potential $30m increase on the conservative side. This in addition to the contracts that will still have a few years left on them in Couturier, Tippet, Sanheim, Farabee, and Risto in his final year. That’s all before we even get to TK. How does a $9m dollar TK fit? So if Michkov slots into the top 6 as likely top line winger. That leaves 3 winger spots left in the top 6 for Tippett, Farabee, Foerster, and TK. All of this also not counting the need of a #1C and #1D. TK has the most value of any player not named Michkov in the organization. It only makes sense to trade him. Even signing him at a more reasonable cost under $8m it still makes sense to trade him. Foerster had a better rookie season than TK so it’s fair to say Foerster will replace TK’s production as soon as next year but at least in 2 years.

I’d trade TK regardless of contract at this point. Look at the Debrincat trade to Ottawa. Chicago got 7th & 39th overall that draft and an additional 3rd round pick. I would target Ottawa and Utah and see if I could get the 6th or 7th for TK.

I would agree with the flyers not being able to extend TK without it causing secondary decisions.
I don’t expect Farabee to be here by the time MM gets over here.
I can even see Sanheim gone and RR bought out.
I would trade TK this offseason. I would also work the roster to get as much cap space this upcoming year and take on salary for picks in 2025.

Not sure if this is true, but the dude from Flyers Daily News thinks that Michkov could arrive early? That coach left him off the Russian National team and that MM may be playing in a lower tier again next year. The bottom line is that the article states that if MM gets frustrated enough with his treatment that he could buy out his own contract and be free to come to the Flyers. Is this true Bill?

Stevens...ugh! Those two guys should have a bore ass staring contest. Amazing how the 2009-10 Flyers instantly came to life when Lavy showed up behind the bench. Well, not instantly, but you get the idea. They ended up getting within two games of winning the whole thing except for Leaky Leighton.

It's 2024 and you're telling me no one created an online tough guy fight club yet? There's a dating app for everything imaginable and nothing to squash baby beef babbling...amazing, what is this world coming to.

It's amazing that Cutter's name still comes up on here daily, but I'd certainly take more of that over the political grandstanding crap!!

Tampa got stiffed on that disallowed goal. His skated may have hit Bob. And not sure if his stick was knocked out of his hand or Bob dropped it. Florida needs to score here.
