Next year “the core” will figure it out...or the year after that or the year after that. Whatever we do let’s make sure we don’t lose one of these valuable players in the expansion draft by actually getting some better players and trying to win this year.

No, we have to keep everything exactly the way it is, because there is chance they can figure it out .. maybe if they practice more they will become good players.

At this point they’ll probably just take the cheapest buyout option lol

Devils just a better team. Can we also say better coached? They have a tough defense and a bunch of back checking forwards. Flyers cannot do anything right. Karma for winning a couple of cups in the seventies

At what point does someone blow a fuse ala Emery on Holtby. Not a single skater looks like they’re searching for an extra gear.
- hereticpride

Because they are all complacent. It will poison any young player. They are a lifeless bunch. That ain’t going to change until you get rid of this rotten core and start over.

Hopefully the gm announces the Laughton 6 year ext tomorrow...

Would he? I heard he doesn't want to. He "likes it here"

This can be seen as a rare opportunity to get rid off some vets and be sellers. Of course they will blow it.

None of the Flyers high priced veterans are candidates to be traded at the deadline unless the Flyers are willing to take a bunch of salary back. Please refer to the NHL salary cap landscape.

The projected number 1 pick was another Hughes until he got hurt and out for the year, sounds like a perfect pick for the Flyers.

I'll respond one time because I know you're trying to take a shot at me. First I'll correct you on blaming Myers for the first Devils goal. It was Travis Konecny who lost his man in coverage, McLeod who was the goal scorer. With that being said, my stance has consistently been not to make a major move for this season at the deadline. Wait until the off season after the expansion draft to make a smart trade or signing. So your comment of another year of Gustafsson is silly. My stance has never been to not do nothing.

If you want to take a shot at someone, you should be accurate.

- MJL



You are truly (frank)ing clueless if you don’t think Myers made another mental error. That’s as obvious a mistake as d man can make. You’ve been spewing the same nonsense for 7 years that the Flyers should remain patient in this quasi rebuild. Much like a lot of the garbage out of your yap you really have no idea of what it takes to build a a team.. it’s easy to know some one who has never laced up a pair skates in his life. Your wonderful Hextall like thought process has led us to today...a failed approach. You’ve been proven wrong again....but your lack of true knowledge on all things hockey have always been on full display to me for years.

Now please let’s go back to the ignoring...it’s a much more fun place to discuss the Flyers when your not involved...thx in advance.

Turn the clocks back to 2017 pre-draft, Hey Hexy there is a great Dman playing at UMass, may be the best player in the draft. "No No, we can't draft him, we already drafted Morin and Sanheim, We need a center!" Well if you want a center there is this really good player in Sweden. "What? Sweden? Who wants to travel there, can't we just draft a Canadian player?". Well the Candadian center has been injured so I don't know ... "Perfect! We'll take him! After all he's Canadian and that means he's tough!"

Exactly. Some leagues didn’t even have seasons, I think. Will be rough
