THIS MOTHER(frank)ER IS SMILING AS HE STARTS OFF


(frank)ER IS NIRO

Listened to the whole thing. You can just hear it in the voice of the media with every question. This guy is out of touch.

Chuck Fletcher: “Players like Nic Deslauriers are hard to find.”

Unbelievable. I can’t believe he said that! The only thing missing today was signing Nate Thompson at 12:02pm sharp this afternoon.

I lol'd at that one. 😂

Well. We got what we wanted. Him to sign low end guys and to let the crap roster be crap to get better picks in a deep draft. Few sells at the tdl and we can begin the rebuild that everyone female doged about. However, some of you just love to be miserable and female dog about anything. (frank), we could win the cup and some of you will give Hextall the credit and female dog we got lucky. This site is hilarious.

Amen! I was saying this earlier...isn't this what most people wanted? Meaning for us to suck this year and get a potential star in a deep draft? If we signed JG at soon to be age 29 for 7 years, this place also would've went nuts. As I always say, there are more important things in life than obsessing over the Flyers, Fletcher, Hexy, RR, and now ND, etc.

Look at his contract history. You would think he had some big breakthrough last season to get that kind of raise in salary and term!

Oh boy, Kevin Hayes at 7.14 million for 7 years is still the raining champion. I didn’t know it came with a “bring a couple buddies in clause” but Nic Deslauriers coming at 1.9 million over 4 years is a close second.

Lmao! Yes, that part was hilarious. I don't see any use complaining but Chuck is definitely delusional by making a statement like that.

Absolutely clueless.

This sounds like a defeated man trying to put lipstick on the pig of his offseason moves. Almost like he's resigned to the fact that he's getting fired. Then again, Dave Scott is probably the only one in the org that is more incompetent that CF.

Another year of forgetting when the Flyers game is on TV.

Hextall was fired on November 26th. Interesting Fletcher was hired 1 week later. Point being if season gets off to a rough start, good chance Fletcher is gone by Christmas.

He made a couple comments about feeling much improved and I think he said something about improving the power play. If he thinks DeAngelo is gonna improve the power play alone, he’s sadly mistaken. He also said something about DeAngelo being on the top pair. It wasn’t just one dumb comment.

Do they have a PP coach yet? Who is this miracle-working mastermind?

I’m sure. Just bewildered by whatever this “plan” is.

Yikes! I didn't see the presser but going to check it out now for a few laughs. I didn't want it, but really thought they'd go for JG to try to squeak into the playoffs. I'm even more surprised that they made moves that won't help the team at all.

I guess we all misheard Chuck and he was actually just hiring an aggressive tool

No way in hell. I will NEVER listen to another presser from this turd. In fact, I don't think I've listened to one yet? The next Flyers presser I will listen to will be the one that is introducing a new GM after this turd is fired. This man is a disgrace and just may be the worst GM in all of sports. It seriously seems as if he is throwing darts at a dartboard to make his decisions. I say...I say...that man is bout as sharp as a bowlin ball.

How do you (frank) up a buyout? It seemed like a good idea IF nobody wanted Lindblom…except the Sharks wanted Lindblom at practically the same price and multiple years.

So basically the Flyers couldn't afford Johnny Hockey because of Hexy's signing of JVR. Wow, the last 2 GMs of this team have sucked. I see Hexy signing all the gray beards to extended contracts in Pitt! Ba ha, ruin that organization. Thanks! Giroux to Ottawa(sorry just catching up on things this evening)? So much for that relentless chase of the elusive silver chalice. Eh what?

The fact that Ryan Ellis and his camp won't come clean with whatever the issue is for a year after signing a deal here speaks volumes as to the collapse of this once respected franchise. LOL Deslausiers for almost 2M hahaha.

It's actually fun rooting for other teams now. I honestly hope they just get creamed and embarrassed to the extent that Comcast realizes their corpratocracy alongside the Flyers front office, which has just been a cliquey hot mess for decades now, will have to consider a more measured and serious approach beyond free agent band-aid stupidity, inept scouts, and the staffing of a model and a muppet to promote their ongoing kabuki theater — isn't quite cutting it.

You truly are the stupidest person in this thread

I killed the Rangers for signing Reaves. Dude offers nothing at 5 on 5 and doesn’t play special teams. Somehow the Flyers found a player that contributes less and signed him for 4 years. CF should have received his promotion already.

1500 comments. Flyers fans at least care I’ll say that. Might disagree on a ton of shyt, but this day is one of the very best days in flyers free agent day history.

Who in their right might thought spending 70 mill on Johnny hockey was a good idea? I don’t buy for a second that Fletcher wanted him anyway. Devils prob running the number up on Philly. Not confident they wanted him either as either team could have figured out 9.5 mill. Who objectively can look at this team and think - sure let me drop 70 mill and a huge chunk of my cap on a winger at almost 39 years old?

You want to criticize them for giving the goon penalty killer 2 mill - that’s fine, but not signing JG might have been the best move a flyers GM has done in a long time.
