This Deslauriers deal reminds me of the Jody Shelley deal way back when.

4th line players should be on year to year deals. (Unless they’re like a savior on the PK)

I don’t know what the cap looks/looked like but I would think TK could’ve been dealt to make some room for JG.

It was supposed to happen at the draft to Ottawa as stayin Alive said - lebrun said as much without naming player/team. Apparently a deal fell through

It's actually a bigger % of the cap and a year longer than Shells

Which makes it even worse. I am truly baffled by it.

Don't worry. Delauriers will fight and in 5 years the Flyers will bring him on board as a player development guy. All will be good. Trust the system.

JG going to Columbus, now we can drop this nonsense

Thank god. Anytime a guy with a history of disappearing in playoffs has a career year, is expecting a child, and starts discussing offers from teams mired in doldrums, he is looking to settle down and raise a family and winning is the last thing on his mind.

Could be the finest non-move in the past 20 years.

Can teams walk away from a qualifying offer? The Deslauriers signing kind of makes Zac Attack redundant.

Each play a wing on the 4th line.

Dave Scott in shambles.

I guess the cap hit can be mostly buried in the minors.

I still find it hard to believe that there was any sort of bidding war that would force Chuck to add three years to what should have been a one year deal.

JG 7 yrs @ 9.8/yr. Mildly surprised Devils did not beat the offer. Laine probably will get traded is the scuttlebutt.

Greeaaat.

I guess it’s Bedard or nothing because this team is poop.

Can't be, Don't believe what the GM says. Gaudreau to the Flyers is a done deal.

Wait 'til his wife finds out
- Tomahawk

😆...maybe she doesn't even know! Drama!

They’ll somehow manage to draft 5th again lol

So it's Columbus

This is 1000% happening
- Tomahawk

Been around long enough to know the script.

- Duran76

Yeah we’ll all suffer through another horrible year and the ping ball balls will give us something other than the first overall.

They’ll somehow manage to draft 5th again lol
- hereticpride

What we dont want is them to be 6th or lower, because the top 5 are all potential studs.

lol they resigned Connouton? 2-years?

If anyone needs Chuck he’ll be in the Wells Fargo Center Rage Room ™

They’ll somehow manage to draft 5th again lol
- hereticpride

Oh the irony of competing with SEA and AZ for a guaranteed top 3 spot in by all accounts a big 3 draft class.

lol they resigned Connouton? 2-years?
- Tomahawk

No they didnt!?

Before you go, could you please finish the sentence that you started with your screen name? Thanks

I guess it can be whatever, This team has never been right since they double traded carter and richards, and the feel the other gms are making an a$$ out of CF
