It’s amazing how many people can’t grasp this.
- ClaudeFather

I think everyone grasps it. The Flyers just traded an All-time Flyers great. For an absolute garbage return. The team has no direction and is going to stink for another decade. The fans are allowed to be pissed for any reason.

You acting like people are stupid doesn’t help things.

I like G and I appreciate him but he comes off a little selfish here. I really hope this is it, we need to turn the page.
- FlyerLifer

Idk, why wouldn’t he be? He no longer cares what the Flyers return is. The organization failed him as a player too.

That's right .. as Clarkie stated the other night .. you have to earn your time boy!

You heard that right from Clarke? Speaks for the organization.

Can you tell me how York has earned PP time but Sanheim hasn't?

Probably because G wouldn't sign an extension because I believe he will be right back here next year as a FA.

Well unfortunately people are stupid so. Be mad about everything else, don’t be mad about the only thing the GM got an adequate return for under the circumstances.

I hope this team does stink for the next decade. Blow it up and build it back up the right way.

A couple more details: Panthers also receive 5th RD pick in 2024 plus also take Connor Bunnaman and German Rubtsov from Flyers

You really want the team to stink for another decade? Are you drunk?

Ummm...no. He has to meet that potential first.

So Picks and prospects are worthless then. They have to meet their potential in order to be worth something right?

Sounds like ground work for something bigger in the offseason. Clearly they were just contract moves

Don't like the trade at all for the simple reason that I don't like Tippett. A top 10 pick in 2017 still hasn't made it in the NHL? Something's amiss. Yeah, Florida is deep at the forward position, but a player that is a supposed sniper would be in the NHL at this point. I wanted the slick russian player. This sucks!! Not a surprise though when you have a boring GM with no ability to think outside the box.

So the Flyers won the trade then. Risto is better than Hagg and the picks are worthless because they havent hit their potential yet

He has made the NHL. He played for the Panthers for a bit. Was sent back down. Needs to adapt his shot to the NHL. He doesnt get the time and space to shoot like he is used to.

Contract flexibility? Fletcher may not be done. No doubt though that he is going to make moves in the off season or around the draft. The Flyers are in the worst position a team can be in overall.

So Fletcher got an AHL/NHL tweener, a and a pick that will likely be at the end of the first round. So nothing that is a lock future piece. Holy poop is this guy a steaming bucket of poop.

Joking aside. I would have preferred baron from colorado
