My prediction for Free Agency:

Flyers Sign JG
Flyers Sign Zadorov

Flyers then spend the next month trying to move salaries out but ultimately get bent over a bathroom sink in a gas station restroom. Ultimately giving up picks and retaining salary.

As long as they become entertaining to watch, I'm not sure any of that even bothers me. I long for a flyers team that makes me enjoy hockey again.

sunrise to sunset? false Lamont.

Well in 10 years will be headed to FLorida.

where you headed? Can you afford a vacation on a deli hourly wage? Or just a cookout with your blowup pool and fake plam trees out back?

- hello it's me 2050

I don’t understand the Lamont reference. Can you offer something more current?

Shocking teams are asking for a high pick for JVR contract, knowing that the flyers desperately want to sign JG

not sure I care if we sign JG, I feel he's just a younger version of G, if the flyers are gonna spend that kind of money it should be on a franchise super star game changer

Fletcher has positioned himself into a seat of power. He runs the League today. It's his show.

I don't think that it's shocking at all. Other GMs know that the Flyers are trying to unload salary so they figure CF has given picks before so why not make him pay again. I wonder if CF is British. "Desperation is the English way."

My issue is that the Flyers seem to have misread the marketplace & are scrambling. They quickly expended valuable draft assets on DeAngelo, without waiting to see who would be non tendered. They re-signed Ristolainen, rather than flipping him for draft capital at the TDL. Now, the inability to clear space for a Gaudreau offer, despite buying out a popular player in Lindblom.

If you are going to go aggressive retool, do it. If you’re going to tear it down to the studs, then do that. Choosing the middle here is only going to prolong the issues and leave them with fewer assets to ultimately correct the problem.

I’m not saying Fletcher should trade the 2023 1st to free up space, I’m lamenting the moves that preceded this and has him over the barrell.

That’s the sad part right there. They ALWAYS misread the marketplace. They are ALWAYS in desperate mode and way overpay. Then others make moves that just make philly look lost. Because they are. Risto trade. Absolute joke. They can spew all they want. Buffalo raped them. No one was offering anything remotely close to what they gave up

What you should do is what I do and what everyone else should do. Ignore him. He's not worth it.

If the Gaudreau thing is a done deal like you say it is. Why would Fletcher make the DeAngelo deal knowing that he didn't have the cap space to do it? There is no question he knows what deals are around to move JVR or another player. He hasn't made one of those deals yet and here we are. Day 1 of free agency.
