I think people mean: don't expect Tom Wilson type upside. No diamond in the roughness. He might solve one of our problems, just not any of the top twenty.

We got him off waivers and he’s 25. Nobody here expected Tom Wilson type upside.

Most people want to say what a joke this franchise is (which is true) however most seem to be missing the point. This organization is a joke because yandle is playing, Thompson is on the roster, Willman, & whatever other bumms are playing. This organization & team does not suck because their 5th 6th defenseman is horrible or their 4th line guys are ahl stiffs.

It is the complete disaster of their top players. Giroux having no pulse & not leading the way a leader should. Provy being an inconsistent joke needing matt niskanen to unretire. TK going 20-30 games invisible. Hayes contributing nothing. jVR being soft as toliet paper. It is 100% on the “top guys” that this organization finds itself where it is

You are a true Philadelphian.

One of the many things I dislike about Dallas are their fans. Why do they look like they all were planning to go to a country music concert and ended up at the game? Why was that woman crying when there almost 2 mins left and Dallas had 3 time-outs in its pocket? Why are their always 10 people crowding behind Jerry Jones? Cant he get them their own suite? Why did I not see Chris Christie crying?

They have to find someway to party in Arlington. That place was boring. The town had no nightlife and basically closed at 10.

you gotta drive to Dallas to find a pulse. Or Fort Worth, if you still dress like a cowboy on days other than Halloween.

Konecny is 1.5million player paid approx 5million. Not a good player or contract in my world.

3 mill still he sucks

Not sure what the obsession is with the Cowgirls as far as Eagles fans go. Yeah, they lost. A rational person would realize that your Eagles still lost to them twice and were embarrassed by the Bucs yesterday. The Eagles weren't even a playoff team. They didn't beat one team with a winning record this year, but let's get excited cause the Cowgirls lost. Eagles fans are weird.

Wait. How can MacEwan be exactly what a team is looking for in a fourth liner and why is it a problem that’s all he’ll ever be? That’s like saying he’s good but he’s not?

I don’t have a problem with MacEwan, nor do I see why anyone would. He’s an energy player. He’s physical. He doesn’t taken bad penalties. He’s really just out there until the big guns catch their breaths and go again.

Tomahawk is just trolling. If he doesn’t like the player, you’re dumb for liking that player. Same argument for those against the vaccine. I’m against it and if you get it, you’re brain washed by the government. If you like a player, stand by the fact you like that player.

My only point was because he moves and hustles constantly shouldn't warrant him any privileges to move up the lineup.

Happy MLK day. Hope you all fulfill your dreams.

Eagles/cowboys rivaly is the such a fraud. Cowboys fans could careless about the Eagles. Its wash and giants. Then way down the list the eagles.

I haven’t fulfilled any dreams yet but at least the nightmare that was the 2021 eagles season is over.

Whoa .. I like MacEwen, but lets not go overboard now. Tom Wilson is more than just an energy guy who hits people, he actually has some good offensive talent also.

As I mentioned, the Flyers top players are not top players in the league and that is why they are where they are. They need to jettison some more vets and get younger, faster, and more skilled.

Giroux is a top player. If he was playing with top talent, there is no question his numbers would go up. Anyone holding his age against him or even ignoring his age is a Buffoon.

Not sure that’s right. My cowboy friends HATE the eagles.

Exactly!! I mean, Flyers and Pens fans hate each other's teams as do the Rags and Flyers. The Cowgirl fans couldn't care less about the Eagles. So effing weird.

G is no longer a top player in this league, sorry to say. It doesn't mean he is still not a good player and yes if surrounded with other top players would put up big numbers, but on this team he is not close to enough. That is why the best option is to trade G at the deadline and get a bidding war going so Fletcher can maximize the return.
