here's the link. Captured what all the fans feel right now.

Thank you for that link. It’s good to hear a loud voice saying these things and AG summed up our frustration perfectly.

Oh wow. I wonder what that is all about?

Just about absolutely maximizing the amount of cap space the Flyers have as they approach the deadline. Burying Deslauries only gives them ~$600k in additional cap space but it could come in handy.

I have a feeling that a lot of us will be disappointed after this deadline passes.

What gave you the first clue?
A) Fletcher is a moron
B) Scott is a moron
C) Comcast doesn’t care
D) All if the above

Voracek contract to Coyotes to reach cap floor - how has Ryan Ellis contract not been moved?
- Thehawk67



Jake was easy to trade, 1 year left on contract. Ellis has a lot more years left.

But he can't be buried without first going on waivers.

Probably just a clerical error. Nic Deslauriers, Nick Desnoyers... look awfully similar in a dropdown menu.

The team reported Elliot Desnoyers and Olle Lycksell were sent down. Cap friendly is showing Desnoyers still on the active roster. It's possibly they have it messed up. It's also entirely possibly Chuck sent down the wrong French-Canadian.

Every passing day, every game, everytime the GM opens his stupid mouth it is a new low for the Flyers.

Yeah, how can CF talk about trade "ideas" when he was asked about whether he would gut the team, and his reply was "he is listening to ideas"... what ? He needs to get his own ideas and sell them to other GMs - not listen to theirs, which are conceived with their needs in mind and not our own. Tells me he doesn't have any ideas. We need a GM who has a plan and has a strong enough personality to execute it.

- Thehawk67


Do you really want pinhead to trade Ellis’ contract? Last time he did something like that with an actual warm body attached to it he gave up like the 35th pick overall, overpaid for our 3RHD, singed him to a massive under serving extension, and then the Yotes turned around and actually got a 3rd pick for the guy. Fletcher needs to stay away from the phone for the next 26 hours. He’s the Ralph Wiggum of the NHL.

Carchidi tweeted it was Desnoyers and Lycksell. That is why I was confused.

The last OT goal…ya a bit soft…but it looked last night that the puck went off of Risto’s stick. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on last nights…to me that’s a tough save.
- landros 2


If you look at Risto's shift there, he had just jumped on the ice too soon and had to get off quickly to avoid a too many men penalty. Then, on the ensuing play, he got turned around by Tarasenko. He was not nearly in position when the shot was taken. Watch the replay...
Tells me that if he WAS in position, maybe he snuffs the shot. Basically, he got beat while providing a partial screen to his goalie and maybe a slight deflection. I put the question out there - try and be the goalie who has to pick up a sniper wrist shot in traffic. Hart does it so much, we take it for granted. He missed this one. But he made a bunch of other great saves. The story this season is the number of high % shots we give up vs. the % offensive zone time & chances. Hard to win games when you give up shots in high % areas of the ice while getting so few of your own.

[Adam Herman] Of the $67.2M cap hit the Arizona Coyotes now have on the roster, 57.6% of that is allocated to pseudo-retirements, cap retention via trade, and contract dumps. To repeat, that is 57.6%.


- Tomahawk[Frank Seravalli] Yotes trading for Jakub Voracek’s contract now gives them ultimate flexibility in next 24 hours to move core pieces such as Nick Schmaltz or Lawson Crouse, as they see fit, and not have to worry about the salary cap floor.


So the ghosts of Chris Pronger, Pavel Datsyuk Shea Weber and Jake Voracek have all been members of the Phoenix Coyotes. How does this look like a better team than our current team?

The irony is, “Hello it’s me” always says “big yawn” as a sarcastic response.

I think Risto is a good skater but sometimes his mobility gets him in trouble. He’s a big guy. When you have a world class talent like Taresenko baring down on ya it’s a tough spot. You don’t want to get schooled so you don’t step up. I didn’t re watch it beyond the broadcast but that’s how I saw it. It looked like it changed direction a tad. Do I hope Hart can make that save? Sure. Im hardly a Risto basher but I’m not sure I like him on 3 on 3.

I applaud Gargano for calling out Comcast to sell the team today. Last night was a disgrace with the crowd last night. Not sure it will make a difference, but it was a stance that needed to.be taken.
- Trox88


Nobody cares what that mush-mouth Gargano "calls" for, much less Comcast.

21 top-90 picks in the next three drafts... with Bill Armstrong, the guy who helped STL draft Tarasenko, Schwartz, Pietrangelo, Parayko, Dunn, Tage Thompson, Kyrou, Thomas, etc. making those picks.

Neither. He was an ok drummer. Not great, not terrible. I don't think anyone sees him as anything else.
