We will use Labanc as the comp for Konecny. How's that sound?
- PLindbergh31



To what end?

You are basically implying that if TK signs for anymore than 1 million for 1 year its an over payment .

he had to have some other "promises" in the background that no one but him and the sharks will know about. guy goes from 20 points to 40 points (added 5 points in 10 games in his first playoff action as well) to 56 points and had himself another solid playoff and only signs for 1 mil? and only a 1 yr extension no less. something was definitely fishy about it and still is.

Nobody noticed that they hired LaBanc’s wife as a work from home Secretary for 4 mil.
It all fits under the cap so nicely.

Katie Emmer is NBCSP's new Flyers Pre & Post Game Live host. I guess Barkann is out. I see Corky Cohen is still there. They better not be taking away Taryn Hatcher.

Good to hear. I'm not worried about it. And I feel the same about Konecny too.

Tk is a member at my golf course. He still has tee times this weekend.

I know that means absolutely nothing, because it’s an hour and a half flight to Philly. Just saying...

Edit: when do players have to report for training camp?

Friday the 13th

Edit: Friday is the first day of camp. Don’t know if they need to be there before that date.

Ya I knew it was coming up. We have a couple nhlers at our course. They have left for their camps I believe.

They are also really good golfers, not surprising because they’re top athletes and have summers off.

my attempt at a future line up

Giroux-Couts-TK
Farabee-Frost-Ratcliffe
Lindblom/JVR-Hayes(ew)-Patrick(meh)
Raffl-Misha-Laughton

Sanheim-Myers
Provy-Ghost
Zamula-Hagg/Morin

Hart
Sandstrom

i guess Voracek got lost somewhere in there but we'll need to make some cap space some how. ideally JVR and/or Hayes(unlikely) could get moved out. alternatively, trade Patrick and slot Rafcliffe in on the 3rd line and keep Voracek on the 2 RW. Raffl is another guy who would be fairly easy to replace. just kinda spitballing at this point though.

- Mordecai


It's just pretty cool that there is so much depth in the pipeline that it should be entirely possible to build a competitive team completely from within.

Hexy did a hell of a job not only rebuilding the pipeline, but stocking it in a way where the forward reinforcements arrive just as Hart and the blueline should be hitting its stride.

Barkann is a no talent rabble rousing Flyer hating game show host. A bargain basement wannabe Angelo Cataldi. And I think Cataldi is a talentless hack who obviously fellated his way to the middle.

Werenksi and Labanc are comparable to Provorov and Konecny.
- PLindbergh31

so provy and konecny will be signed for 5 and 1 mil respectively right?

It amazed me how long Comcast let Barkann keep that job with how much poop stirring he's done with the franchise over the years.

Good (frank)ing riddance.

I’m impressed with the pipeline but not so much the depth. In case of injury and based on what I saw last season, I’m still concerned with what steps in.

That kid had it too. There’s no talent like that in the Phillies system. Sad for 7 POS years of baseball.
