So Fletcher actually gets paid to make these decisions....good for him, bad for us. Again, from Scott on down dysfunctional, incompetent, and out of touch. Its not the Phantoms squad (Mayhew, Willman, Seeler, etc.) fault. They have their limitations. But to keep Frost and York out when they could be gaining NHL experience is borderline criminal. Again, I feel bad for Hart...they are ruiniing him

We won two in a row. Sent down Frost and York for Seeler and just name an AHL play in this line up

Does anyone think they are anything but a bottom feeder at this point? When you lose to other bottom feeders. That’s pretty much what you are.

Yandle still adding to his iron man record, does anyone care? Would anyone prefer him to York? No on both counts.

Briere getting promoted is another signal that they are doubling down on the nepotistic, self serving management of this once proud franchise. There is zero indication of hope on the horizon. I don’t know why I care about draft picks. I’m going to look long and hard in the mirror and decide if the casters are worth my time. Probably

I prefer Seeler sit for York first. At least Yandle has the excuse of being old.

They are the "new Buffalo". Get used to it. With equally poor ownership and management.

Unfortunately I don't think they're even capable of tanking properly.

The epitome of being damned with faint praise. Whats depressing is that there are still more than 30 games left in this nightmare of a season!

When Gorton came aboard, he said Ducharme was there for the rest of the season. Now that he’s gone it seems that the Flyers will have to fire Yeo. The team quit on Yeo in MIN and STL. I see the same thing happening here.

Bill pointed out on Twitter that the Flyers only had 4 guys on the ice for 1/2 the last PP…my 1rst thought was “oh, that’s why the pp sucked”…but then I realized that this is a direct reflection of the coaching….(frank) me….pay attention Yeo. At least attempt to look like you give a poop. That’s beyond pathetic at that level.

Good for Nick. Like Prosser before him, the skill isn’t there but they work hard.

The Flyers just didn't lose to Detroit. They got throttled by Detroit.

And the beat goes on…. And the beat goes on

The players don’t perform and the coach gets the blame. The high paid veterans get a free pass.

High paid veterans getting a pass got Yeo fired in MIN. Vanek and Pominville floating for 4-5 games without missing a shift and young guys sitting for one mistake.

What you don't get is that you think the losing is going to take the team somewhere. Not with the incompetence that is organization wide. The decision making with Frost and York is just more evidence of it. The Flyers are making Detroit look like a really good team. Yzerman should follow the Flyers lead and send some of those good young players down to the AHL so they can lose some more games. There's a big picture which you're not seeing.

You're right they should just bring up all our prospects, sit the the guys that help us lose and get another middle of the pack pick in a shallow draft so we can complain how we dont get top talent by drafting in the top 5. You contradict yourself. You say Flyers make DET look good, so clearly you think they are bad. Yet DET is apparently doing a good job playing young players.

Flyers arent making moves to just lose. Frost and York should not be on this team. They were brought up because of injuries. Guys came back. There is no need for them to be here. They should be in the minors improving their game. York and Frost should be the top players on the Phantoms and get PP time. The fact they arent on PP1 is another topic completely.

Big picture is we need Frost and York to become core pieces in this team. We also need top end talent and like everyone knows that talent is obtained through the draft. It isnt like we are purposely using AHL players to lose games. Fact is we have to, the difference is we are playing guys we are looking to develop into a bottom 6 position or bottom pair guy like Seeler. Yandle was brought in to play for the team, there is no benefit to sitting him now.
