Everything is a bad choice...until proven wrong.

I keep hearing Ristolainen being benched by Torts, I wouldn't be shock one bit if Provorov gets in the doghouse and he asks for a trade.

If Torts had issues with Larry Brooks, wait until he reads what the Eagles Sixers Phillies Flyers beat writers have for him.

flyers beat writers are pansies and Torts will have it easy. Flyers media in this town is a joke.

You make the statement that Cassidy was never coming here as a matter of fact. What are you basing this on? Isn't is possible Vegas was just much more aggressive than the Flyers were in regards to getting him?

Or is it more likely Vegas has a better team now and the foreseeable future?

When are you going to accept the flyers are not a premiere destination any longer?

No other team was interested in Torts. How do you interpret that?

Can't disagree though I hate to admit it. It was clear Clarke wanted Torts and voila, here he is! For a guy who is out of the loop in Florida playing golf every day, its clear who runs the Flyers still to this day.

Wrong. Your boy Chuck seeks Clarke out for advice. Clarke doesn't go to him. Chuck sucks.

I wasn't talking about the writers being tough on him...

.....I guess.....

But common sense says it's much more possible that he saw a Stanley Cup level win now roster in Vegas and said, yeah, that is where I want to go.

Maybe Vegas offered him show tickets....or maybe Vegas smiled harder...or maybe Trotz jumped the gun and got a Vegas tattooo

I like playing this game

The fact that in a matter of days, Cassidy was hired by Vegas. It is clear that Vegas zeroed in on Cassidy and he zeroed in on Vegas. Pretty obvious when a coach is hired that quickly.

I'm ok with the Flyers trading down if they feel they can still get a decent forward with an additional asset. I'm just worried they just end up settling and taking Jiricek at 5 because they are suppose to. That pick will come back and bite them in the hinnie.

Maybe Fletcher just made a mistake. He meant to offer it to Trotz but he got some letters mixed up and accidentally offered it to Torts.
