in one post he hopes giroux makes more money than he believes he's worth because it will hurt the team's cap structure. in the next he's talking about his expectations for wanting a winning team. it's laughable.

If he is an nhl player then why at 29 has he played 33 nhl games? The flyers apologist are just flat out blind.

You stated that none of these players (Brown was listed) would be on a contending team's roster. Vegas was a strong contender last year. In fact, had MAF not gaffed, they probably make the final.

You have a better reason? Do you really think this stiff is any better than Cates or Bunny?

I don’t.

- BiggE

I see the cult leaders over at HF boards have go to you with the conspiracy theories.

No I do not believe for 1 second he was claimed because he is friends or played with Hayes.

Bunny is not an NHL player. He has had chances and failed. What has Cates shown? Now would have wasted a spot on Brown? Absolutely not. Would I have given Cates a shot? Yes. That being said I nor you are there every day to see what goes on in regards or Cates or Bunny.

If they were going ot waste a contract spot they had better options than Brown.

Nice job with the cap, Chuckles. Usually you only want to be this close to the cap ceiling if you are a legit Cup contender, but apparently Fletcher never received that memo.
- BiggE



Come on big E. You know this has been a flat cap. Your a smart poster. Almost 2/3 of the NHL is less then 2 mil in space. Many are dipping into Long Term Injury money. You know this. I get your point but don’t make it sound like things aren’t unique with this current cap issues.

He wont take anything less than 5 million per imo. Hope he gets 4 years 6 per.
- hello it's me 2050

I would walk away if I were Fletcher, 4x$6M is not team friendly deal, and frankly too much for an aging player like G, whose game will not age as well as centers like Bergeron. I hope for the Flyers sake they sign him for 3 years and closer to $12M.

Why didn't he play in the regular season with Vegas? He wasnt on their roster less 4 games. Why he played in the playoffs only I do not know.

If he was so good why did they waive him as he makes peanuts. He isnt an NHL player. Accept it.

Exactly, Vegas only a contender when it fits the narrative.

I know.. While I don't think Thompson is a star, when he played with us in 2019-2020, after he was acquired at the deadline, he was part of the group that went on a 10 game win streak then helped the team take the 1 seed, win a round and take NYI to 7 games. AV sees value in him it appears.

i am discussing you talking out of both sides of your mouth as usual. you're a joke.

Love when you talk dirty. Anytime you want to talk sports you let me know stronzo. The 4 major ones that is, maybe bowling as well.

Is brown a good pick up in your authentic fan opinion?

Would you ever play Nate more minutes than Jake or Clode?

- hello it's me 2050


So he was good enough to play in the NHL for a strong NHL championship contender and played in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs which are the most important and toughest part of the NHL season but yet he is not an NHL player? Ok...

I want to see this team play say 20 games of the regular season before I write them off and call for the rebuild. It'll take time for them to Gel.

Jake isn't on the team anymore and Claude will be gone before the deadline as we re enter the 7 year rebuild.

Again why was he playing? What were the circumstances.

why did they waive him if so good? They are a contender and cut him.

Please stop acting like you even knew who he was before the flyers signed him.

If you're stupid enough to marginalize people in emails.... You deserve whatever you get including falling on your sword.

How many NFL players should then be fired. Oh look what nice boys scheduled for the next super bowl halftime show.
Deshawn Watson gets to keep playing?

The problem is Gruden probably doesn’t believe in the whole agenda.

Anyone who thinks Giroux is gone after this season is out of their mind.

And the grass isn’t greener elsewhere, the world is falling because Frost didn’t make the team on other sites. He didn’t come close to earning it but that doesn’t matter to them.

They’ve been doing these weird maintenance days, not sure why, would think the team should be practicing together as much as possible since there was a ton of turn over
Was it stated this was actually injury related?
