There is always a high expectation in a limited prospect pool to play in the best hockey league in the world.

Explain to me what high expectations they have for Allison and Ratcliff on 8/13/22 since you made the statement?

Is that expectation a top 6 forward for Allison? 3rd line for Ratcliff?

Anything you get from Allison is gravy at this point. Ratcliff right now is a complete bust and will likely be waived unless he kills it in camp. So again define what you think is the Flyers high expectation of each player.

It's the same thing. Nothing was left out. Again, he was criticizing the GM for the moves. You incorrectly tried to turn it into a debate on whether Lindblom was a 4th line player. Again, his premise was simple. He was criticizing the GM for removing a more talented player and bringing in a stiff. His point is valid. Instead, for some reason you're having difficulty following conversations and ultimately calling him the village idiot when it's actually the other way around today.

Thank you!

You know what? This conversation should have ended an hour ago but you’re free to argue with yourself.

Not how I read it in his response to my post. So didn't incorrectly turn it into anything.

When you gonna answer the simple direct questions posed to you? Always dancing around the issue. Your MO.

Not surprised you will still continue to dodge the question. Who is arguing? Called conversation.

No wonder you feel you get cyber bullied. Conversations you think are arguing.

I'm content to let you just keep embarrassing yourself today. You don't get to decide how others answer questions. If you don't like the answer given, others are not required to answer again. Your actions today are beyond stupid. Maybe you're just having a bad day.

You’ve won. You’ve “bullied” me right out of this conversation. Congratulations.

It's not a steal until we see how it turns out. I'd rather of given him 9 mil a year for 4 years. This 8 year deal is going to be a major albatross IMO, but I guess time will tell.
- Phillywhiteout

I’d rather trade him for assets then
1) give contract he got
2) give 9 mil for 4 years

Both contracts are horrible and should not be done in cap world

Still wont answer. I don't get it.

By all reports, Couturier was skating by the end of the season. Time will tell how he is health wise. I don't have any issue with the contract. Which was signed before the back injury.
- MJL

And when he puts up 23 goals 60 points misses 10-15 games plays pretty good d when in lineup and team finishes bottom 3 in league you’ll still say it’s a steal of contract.


From the supposed cap master one would think you know better


Let’s put it this way … YOU EXPLAIN WHAT PRODUCTION MAN GAMES PLAYED STATS PERSONAL AND TEAM WOULD QUALIFY COOTS DEAL AS BAD. WHATS THE CRITERIA FOR YOU TO SAY HEY I WAS WRONG THIS OS A BAD CONTRACT?


let me guess none. Because that would be you having to admit just how wrong you are


Sorry you getting career deal there’s gotta be some expectations.


Name your expections to make coots deal a steal


We know you won’t name a failure because we’ll I explained already

I don’t feel like I’ve been dodging your questions. I feel like I’ve gotten tired of answering your questions. All of which have nothing to do with the original conversation that you misunderstood.

"What high hopes do they have for Allison and Ratcliff?" Not sure about Radcliff, but I have high hopes for Allison as long as he can stay healthy. Maybe Allison earns a spot on the 3rd line? I hope they don't waste his nose for the net with 4th line minutes....

How does one misunderstand saying the Flyers have expectations for Allison and Ratcliff? You haven't provided any answer.

Hope you have a productive day in Michigan. Maybe visit the Upper Peninsula.

This is incoherent babble. When he does something.

Not sure how you've come to that conclusion. He's actually underpaid by that amount on his current deal. You wouldn't get a 30 goal 70 point Selke center for 7.75M a year on the open UFA market.
- MJL

What don’t you get. That’s not his average. Expecting 30 goals 70 points selke play out of him is retarded. You lose you are wrong.

Do the Flyers not have expectations for Allison or Ratcliffe? Is this what I’m missing?

It's a shame with Allison. I feel he already would be an NHL player and scoring goals at a decent clip if he could just stay healthy. I don't think you can count on the player but you can't just write him off either. He is a talented player.

More incoherent babble. You don't even offer anything that can even be debated.

I am sure they have expectations.

You said they have high expectations. I would like to know what you think defines high expectations.

So you don't believe that Couturier is a Selke level center any more?
- MJL

Hasn’t been for awhile. He’s a good 2way center ideally suited in 2c role. Nothing more nothing less. He way overvalue him because you can’t/refuse to admit your wrong.


You will go all 8 years defending this position. Guara(frank)ingteed


And we all know it.

Regardless of what what happens.

Coots likely puts up 22 goals this year 30 assist 65 games


Mjl~ he’s almost a point per game player.
He’s a steal
So glad we have him 8 years.

Give me some fact based detail on why Couturier is not a #1 center.

Yes saw that. Still does answer the question i asked.

So if he is underpaid provide a money figure on what you think he would get.
- furio16

I’ll answer because he never will
If coots went to OPEN market where we all agree teams ALMOST ALWAYS OVERPAY then he probably get close to same deal he got from philly

And any sane person would say it’s overpay. Because it would be.

That’s why he won’t answer because he knows this. We all know this.

But he can’t/won’t admit he’s wrong. Because it’s mjl.

Dude is literally the epitome of why people hate flyers fans.

Just smart enough to be be dumb enough

There is zero substance here. Nothing but rhetoric.
