What's his deal going to be? How do they afford Gaudreau now? Remember, it' a done deal.

Ellis must be done.

Fletcher made this deal for the same reason he re-signed Ristolainen. He is afraid of getting caught weak on defense again. Specifically RH shot defenseman.

So Lindblom is moved/bought out. JVR is moved/bought out and then they use that money to sign Gaudreau? Action bias in full effect.

Fletcher likes acting from a position of weakness, which is exactly where he will be in order to unload salary.

Tony D does a lot of on ice work with local youth players. Skates with them somewhat frequently and easy to talk to. No publicity. Helps out more than anyone, like yourself and others would know. He is a good guy.

Funny thing is he wanted to play for Philly last season. Flyers didn’t show much interest. Wonder if that was an AV call.

They are foolishly in win "now" mode. So when you look at it from that perspective it is good move. 27 year old D in his prime. Real good move.

Hilarious that Fletcher and the authentic fans kept blaming the locker room for the team's troubles, and then Chuck goes and brings in a guy like Tony D.

Isn’t he known as a racist?

Pretty much everything he does is from a position of weakness and a self inflicted wound. He is the go to guy in the league for other teams.

There's a reason his teammate clocked him in the face in the tunnel.

And if that's not a big deal why does it not happen more often.

I don't have a problem with the player. I have a problem with how our FO handled last year and this year and the price for a right to sign a guy.

LTIR for the remainder of the contract, the first legal day of the season, just like Pronger except contract is not an over 35.

How do you hire Torts and then go and get this guy. It’s like you don’t even know who you hired

I believe Hextall drafted 10 NHL players in his drafts here. With the potential for a couple more.
- MJL


Is that the goal, drafting and NHL player? I would like top of lineup players, especially with 1st rounders. How many 1st round picks did Hextall draft?

Whining about signing a guy who could not find a team because he's such an ass**** is not excessive.

Or virtue signaling.

We all know that it's the truth with this inept franchise... We just don't know how to help these kids reach their potential and then we throw them into an environment of no accountability

It's pathetic to watch. What happened to this franchise?
