I'm not necessarily cutting on Braun. He is what he is. But in consideration of their defense pairings going forward, he's not even close to an upgrade. Further, he's another year older and isn't getting better. My point is that CF appears to be doing a tank without actually saying he's doing a tank. I think the choices before him was "get JG to contend" (a fallacy) or "go tank mode and don't say it."

Braun is an upgrade over Seeler or Attard for now which is who would've been in the lineup before signing Braun.

I don't think he is tanking. I think his plan fell through due to his incompetence.

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

0% chance we get Bedard. We arent that bad of a team. Bottom 5 but we always find a way to ruin the tanking.

Well, the Sixers averaged 98.7 in home games last year apparently. I assume they will draw that much again, The Flyers were 84.7% last year. Since the capacity of the areans are roughly the same size, Flyers would need to average something like 112% this year to combine the two year ratings and rival that of the Sixers for the coming year. That would be rather hard to do.

TV ratings that Bill and Phillywhite like to point out that are 40 years old or completely out of context

No they didnt!?

It's a 2 way deal with an AAV of 762,500. Can be buried in the minors with no penalty.

Chuck is like a dude who got jilted by his hot wife and is now throwing all his money around at the Tuesday day shift strippers.

I think we agree on CF incompetence. Don't disagree that Braun is an upgrade. My problem is that CF incompetence puts him in a position where Braun IS an upgrade.

I don't believe it. Did they talk to his wife? It's a done deal in Philly.

Please tell me we are capped out now and he has nothing else dumb to pivot to.

Good chance Braun gets traded at the deadline again. Fletcher 4D chess. 😀 Just kidding, get what you mean.

Gotcha.

Can't wait for the presser...... [sarc]

How bad is fletch?
Have deal yo move player for cap room to sign star player (right or wrong)

Deal falls through… no backup plan

Sign 2 afterthoughts… claim like risto (fake news bidding war)

Don’t sign star player. ( blessing in disguise)

I think tanking is giving Fletch too much credit. Tanking would take a plan and the execution of said plan. Well beyond Fletch's wheelhouse.

What CF thinks is 4D chess is actually tic tac toe with no winner.

I guess there’s nothing left to do but for me and my wife to try a Reverse Kotkaniemi tonight

Fletcher admitted they never was in on Godreau because they decided to use all the capmoney on Angelo and Ristolainen.😶‍🌫️

I read what chuck said in his presser. wtf? I’ve never been so mad. The only thing worse than being too aggressive is saying that you are and leaving the team in limbo because you didn’t execute your plan and also don’t want to rebuild. The team will be a last place team this year and worse, it’s no closer to a stated goal or plan because they don t have one.

I get centre ice every year to watch them and may just skip it this year. There won’t be much to watch.
