So Carolina had a plan and other options they thought were better than Tony D. Seems like a valid reason why they didn't re-sign him.

Nah they just didn't want him, stay with that narrative.

Any salary retention?

Last off-season was last off-season. I am focusing on the here and now .. and what the Flyers are trying to do is nothing less than criminal! I have been consistent in what approach I had hoped the Flyers would take this off-season and it appears they are doing the complete opposite. If they continue on this course its going to be a train wreck, and I would be all in on Fletcher being fired and the front office cleaned out! Unfortunately this will not happen until next season, so as fans we have to continue to exist in this hell for a lot longer.

Wrong again -- the people you praised are still in charge - and the moves you praised are why the organization is in the state that it is currently in

I didn't think that there was a bigger clown than chuckles -- but I think I may have been wrong about that

Hextall one of the big winners so far, retaining all four players at very good cap hits.
- StepfordSam

Don't think he had much to do with Letang and Ogre coming back. That negotiation was above his pay grade.

They're riding it out. Any extra years they give to the vets won't really prevent them from being bad (see: Chicago w/ Toews/Kane/Keith). And when they're tanking, they won't care about the cap space anyway.
- Tomahawk


Yes but if they’re smart they could flip all the vets for picks and speed up a rebuild. They’re not contenders IMO.

Also, do you like the Murray signing for the leafs? I personally think it’s terrible and will cost dubas his job.

Yeah, this may be what gets Dubas fired if Murray implodes.

Ottawa has put together a better team than the flyers have on the ice

Other franchises move forward while chuck "fleeced" Fletcher moves our franchise back another 4 years

Roo is probably so glad to be out of this place

Murray played well last season after he got healthy and Samsonov has talent. It's a risky duo, but stranger things have worked out.
