How soon before the co-GM has to intervene again? This is a complete joke.

This is very simple. Briere has to step in and set Toetorella straight. He can either play the kids or resign. Or be fired. If Briere is on board with this. He can go too! Same with Jones.

Tortorella " we're going to play the kids". 4 games into the season. How many young players have been scratched?

DB created the problem by bringing in Hathaway, Stahl, Poehling, and Walker

Poehling I have no issue with. He's a 25 year old 4th line center.

Frost was scratched for a younger player though.

LMAO. The same basic numbers you supplied are the ones that you've objected to. After two games, which are the only two games Frost had played. Tippett had worse numbers than Frost. Tippet's numbers went up after the Vancouver game. Which Frost did not play in. Your words that you're a "numbers" person are hollow and unsupported in reality. The very fact that you used an unbalanced sample, shows that you are not a "numbers" person

You are trying to deflect now, because the numbers show that Frost was one of the worst performing forwards in the first two games. You can't argue with the numbers so you are just trying to discredit me again. As my accountant cousin always says, Numbers don't lie!

No issues with th RP signing

just saying DB made it easier for Torts to sit young players

this site is more broken than the Flyers

Don’t disagree. Another reason why I wanted them to trade players like seeler last year.

Staal was a safety signing imo. As they weren’t sure about the kids I’m guessing. Agree with others that 3 d men won’t get traded, but hope at least two go this year. Andrae should be getting minutes in the a if not playing. Right now seeler or walker should be sitting. Don’t think they will sit staal.

when is TK eligible to sign an extension....
- hello it's me 2050

As soon as his final year kicks in I believe. So sometime in July?

What do you guys know about this silayev kid from Russia?
He looks like a future top pair Dman to me.
There are some stud D coming out of this upcoming draft

He is a monster, 6'7" who has elite skating ability. Good defender but not overly physical. Definite top 10 with top 5 potential.

if you are just looking at pure metrics, tip had a better game one than frost, frost had a better game two.

is there anything telling they are not on board with what the coach/co-gm1 wants?

So same old same old for the Flyers? Cool. I am not watching a full season of this.

Again, hysterical. I have not once denied what the numbers state or that Frost did not play well in the first two games. What discredits you is how you blow off the same numbers when there were discussions on other players such as Sanheim. Who you stated can't defend when he had the best defensive number last season. Or with Ristolainen when you claim that he is the best defenseman on the team. When the numbers were shown to you, you tell people they need to watch the game. Now it's numbers don't lie. Can't make it up. I don't discredit you. You discredit yourself.

Bill, is there a place we can leave our opinion and DB and the Flyers brass will actually know it is there?

I go to two games a year and I have watched 3 of 9 total periods this season. I also forgot the game on Saturday was an afternoon game.

I have watched more of the Senators and Oilers this season than the Flyers.

I am doing my part.
