Goal and two assists on a 90 point Hurricanes team. Fletcher literally gave him away.
Typical clown show.

Technically didn't give him away...he paid for someone to take him.

Exactly. Funny how Gostisbehere leaves Philly and flourishes. He played well on the Yotes who are equally as bad as the Flyers.

I think the best way for me to reply to this is to try and explain to you the difference between a fact and an opinion. On second thought, why bother.

In your world it's a fact that Sanheim sucks and Ristolainen is the best defenseman. Enough said on that.

Do I honestly need to review Flyers history with you to inform you that Hextall is definitely not one of the Flyers old guard.

You also don't seem to understand that my issue is not with ex Flyers players. My issue is with the ex Flyers players who are a part of the organization currently and that's because of how they ran this franchise into the ground.

Not surprising how that distinction escapes you.

If you want more of a laugh, essentially Carolina got rid of TDA and took Ghost on.

Why I believe it is possible is because they have a good foundation in goal- Hart and Ersson. I'm not suggesting it is likely, and they need an "agressive retool" by shipping out 2-3 players who have term left on their contracts and get back a combo of picks and players with a lower cap hit and less term.

The Flyers have good solid goaltending now and they're nowhere close to making the playoffs.

I personally believe that the Flyers can't turn it around until 2 things happen:

1) This list of players are off the books without giving up any assets and no additional long term contracts are added to it

Hayes
JvR
Ellis
Atkinson
Ristolainen
Deangelo

2) They bring in younger/cheaper players that can contribute and have an impact

- Glak18


I'm in complete agreement with you on that but just don't see how that is possible. The Flyers are going to feel some real pain. With JVR and DeAngelo, they can just let the contracts run out. Might get an asset for DeAngelo next season. Ellis will eventually be able to be moved but not for a while. The other three, good luck.

I responded in that manner due to the posters tone in which the bulk of his post wasn't about hockey, but about me.

If JvR has no value TDA is worth half of that.

Whichever team who has the courage to draft Michkov I believe will look like geniuses

I think ESPN finally put their foot down and won't show terrible content because the game is schedule for ESPN+ and it's nowhere to be found.

Wings really has fallen off the cliff the last games. Nice that the Flyers can cure other teams woes.

DeAngelo is a similar player to Gostisbehere. So there is a chance he could be moved when he is in the last year of his deal. Won't be for much.

So the flyers suck and now we can’t even get free streams. What kind of world are we living in??

I found a free stream, but I do find it funny ESPN took them off the schedule.

Cates, Laughton and Ristolainen have all started ahead of JvR many times this season as the net front presence, which I feel is absurd and probably hurt JvR’s value to degree. I’m not saying he’s not flawed but the best way to up a player’s value is to have him work to his strengths.

The Flyers development strategy for young players should be the same. But for some reason....

I agree.

By shipping out MacEwen and Brown and bring up Tanner Laczynski. I think it’s a step (kind of) but we’ll find out more once Lemieux, Braun and JvR walk.
