We never did appreciate this guy like we should have.

Great deal for Ottawa and G

He didn’t have a great team around him really ever. I did however think he’d go somewhere for like 3 mil Aav. What I will say is that we didn’t get enough for him when we traded him. I wish he had agreed to a trade to the Avs. He’d have a cup

Chuck trades the '23 1st to get rid of JVR, misses out on JG anyway, then Flyers win the lotto in '23 and Bedard goes to Arizona.

Would be the most Flyers thing ever.

If he misses on jg after that. I say Scott fires him and takes over as gm coach and trainer. That guy knows his hockey.

The return for Giroux at the deadline was a good one. They got a first and a player who is 23 and a top 10 overall pick in the draft. That was what it was always going to be. 3M for Giroux would be insulting. It's what a decent 3rd line winger gets.

Would you not have rather had Barron from the avs rather than Tippett? Also. Wow wow wow. Did you just say that chuck did something correctly? Haha.

Aube-Kubel to Toronto. I love seeing all the teams that are way better than the Flyers that are in a better cap position.

Honestly, Fletcher is so monumentally bad. Historically bad.

Based on what tho? For his production alone, he's probably underpaid at 6.5.

I want to clarify that I am a huge fan of g and do think he was under appreciated here. I just didn’t think he’d sign for that much as he’s on the down side. One note though. Taxes are berserk up here In our socialist paradise so that may have meant he got more.

If he is considering the islanders and devils, there should be other teams he'd consider in the north east. Boston?

It's funny how Fletcher is going to start next season with a worse roster then the previous year. While pissing off those who want to tank, and those who wanted him to be aggressive. Whatever the guy touches turns to poop.

What I was looking at was trying to get a young top pick rhd and there were rumours out there that he was ina. Package being offered for g. But he didn’t want to go there obviously. Probably family which is fine.

In a couple years he’d look good on our d. Oh well hope Tippett turns out ok
