Fletcher has:
Overpaid for a garbage player in Hayes
Gave up way to much for Risto
Compounded the previous point by re-signing Risto
Gave up a 2nd round pick to get rid of an effective player: Ghost
Brought in Yandle & Thompson
And, perhaps worst of all,
Traded G+ for a mediocre package. Even worse, it seems more and more apparent that Giroux, still one of the team’s top 2 players, would rather have re-signed and finished his career as a Flyer. So therefore, no trade needed to be made.

There is no defending Cuck Fletcher. He is an incompetent toady. The entire organization has become garbage, it’s truly heartbreaking.

This management is banking on Gritty as its big draw. No need for competent on ice hockey assessment if you have Gritty.
This organization sucks, I bet they are all in a circle jerk congratulating themselves on building this first class team.

It’s like watching a train wreck, I’ll keep up with this team to see how f’ed up they get but I’ll keep my money in my pocket.

Reality is you smoke the Saints jock.

He ha zero fn say in personal, drafting, development. All you do is want to deflect from the Saints failure as a GM. The GM who was in complete 100% control.

Ripping current and future prospects a big lol. How dare he say the truth about Patrick when asked a question.

What current and future prospects has he ripped on? Can you give some examples please.

The franchise is a humiliation because of the last decade+. Plenty of shared blame to go around. Including first and foremost Saint Ronnie.

If you want to play the Ostrich on all of these facts, don’t expect anyone to take the time to tell you what you already likely know. Good luck with Chucky Bobby. They are lucky to have your support. The team and fans, however, are not lucky to have them making decisions.

ASF has reported this, if it is true its the best move Chuck has ever made.

Though ASF seems to have a grudge against the flyers.

therien has a big grudge also, im glad there was no assurance to G to bring him back. We need to move on already. ..
not overly impressed with the deal, but it is what it is. And its over.

Lets sign some college kids and bring them in.

And how do you know the Panthers have no plan to re-sign Giroux?

It’s been widely reported that giroux only wanted to go to Florida and the flyers had better offers elsewhere but weren’t able to make the deal because G wanted to go to the panthers. Pretty simple really. Unfortunate, but simple.

Rangers have made Lafreniere available too. Probably wouldnt have been involved but theres always a chance he could have.

Yes unfortunately that is the case with Gritty. It seems to be the only thing Camillo cares about.
