I’m hoping they find away to move out a player to make room for both….but I might be waiting a while. I agree both guys need to play in the top 9. I don’t quite see the 4th line as an issue. I frankly don’t want to see the kids with offensive ability playing with ND and Hathaway. This is where BB can earn his stripes. If the kids have earned their spot then others need to be moved out.

it is 2023. You do not need to employ the archaic 4th line of yesteryear.; espeically when you are "rebuilding". Why not Brink and Forest with Pohling? Or something to that effect.

This is why the GH signing made zero sense. Except to the coach/co-gm1 who wanted 10 goal pk type guys as he stated after the season.

They aint moving anyone to accommodate those 2 anytime soon. If at all.

Scared to run Suarez twice through the line up, I guess

Suarez throw slop. I'm not sure how he has had the success he has had so far. Idal for middle relief.

3.85M for Petersen. Flyers got a 1st round, 2 2nd round picks and a good prospect in that deal.

Which they then preceded to waste 2/3 of those picks and the last one might not come until 2025......

Maybe it’s for the best that the Flyers didn’t get Bedard. Could you imagine Torts saying “well the kid has yet to prove himself so we’re gonna rotate him in”

What do you mean they wasted those picks?

Okay, let's not get carried away here. Brink and or Foerster are nowhere near the talent that Bedard is and it's NOT FOR THE BEST that they didn't get Bedard!

If Brink and Foerster both make the team, they have 13 forwards. The question is who sits if both are in the lineup.




I agree although I don't know if Laughton is a good example. He was a first round pick.
- MJL

Well, the Flyers picked him in the first round so was he really a first round pick? JK, well maybe I'm not. Food for thought...

actually it is 5 million (3.8 is dead for 2 years) for Cal and 2.65 for walker. So are those 2, a B level prospect, a 1st, and 2nds a good deal?

Can break it down this way:

1st and a 2nd for Ivan

B prospect and a 2nd for taking on walker and Cal.

Sarcasm and humor sometimes don’t come through. I should’ve just said that Torts woulda benched him for every Vancouver game.

I figured that it was sarcasm laced, but watching Bedard play for the Hawks is painful. They stole Kane from us and left us with lazy JVR, and now they land this guy. It's early, but man does he look like the real deal. Why can't we have nice things?

How did they waste them?

suarez has a good curveball and he's coming back from injuries but are you also one of those "eagles are in trouble" dorks too?
