Numerous teams are interested in Walker, which is no surprise.

The conversation between the 3 amigos goes like this: All these teams interested means we have to re-sign him.

- hello it's me 2050


No chance they sell high on an asset.

Cooper, Brindy, Montgomery... no question why their names come up year after year in player polls of who guys would most want to play for. They're smart, give players leeway to be creative and they aren't bumholes. And they've had recent success.

And our guy... always tops the list of coaches players wouldn't want to play for. Mind games galore. Restrictive system. Arbitrary discipline. And I'm guessing there will multiple decent players on this team who will be asking for trades or declining to re-up to get away from Torts.

If I was Farabee, I'd be pretty pissed off. Kid played all last year when he wasn't 100%. Never made excuses and never dogged it. He makes a mistake and bumhole Tortorella decided to make an example out of him. It's hysterical how some players can build up a huge deposit of trust and immunity with Tortorella and some can't. Completely arbitrary and without reason. It's as if Tortorella is an addict that can't function as a coach unless he is getting his fix and singling out somebody.

hoping eklund is right for once....saying toronto interested in walker.

it's been said there are feelings he will be extended. please get a or some picks for this guy while we can.

- Peter Richards

Let me tell you how the Walker thing is going to play out.....Flyers will drag their feet as always because, well you know, they think they are a PO team. About the time they realize this is false, Walker will get hurt, as he is oft to do. This will prevent them from trading him, so they will do the next best thing in their collective mind...extend him 4-5 years at around $5MM per. He then spends the rest of his new contract on LTIR with Ellis

As they did with the #2 OA pick, they will turn a golden goose opportunity into an ugly duckling.

I think the Flyers will get exposed for who they are in the next month. I looked at their schedule and I'm guessing that they will know that they aren't a playoff team a month from now. They may not be favored in any of those games in that span. Of course, that still might not stop them from resigning Walker. We shall see...

They should already know that they're not a playoff team.

Hart earns us a point. 3v3 really exposes our lack of high end talent.
- backfire

Looking at the last games trend, flyers is heading for the 7th place in Metro. They may catch BJ đź’‹ đź’„ if they sell out the 2 creative player they have.

GMDB: “ok! 2 firsts and Knies for Walker sounds great. Just hang on for a minute, I have to ask mom and dad if I can trade Walker to you for that. Please hold”

Jones: “Hey Danny, did I hear that right? Toronto is offering us 2 firsts and Knies for Walker? But he’s a RHD and he plays the right way. He’s a good guy in the room. Torts ain’t gonna like it. But Danny, to me that tells us we have something here. Better get Torts”

Torts: “Danny I don’t care what your friends say, you are not allowed to play with them and Walker is going to stay. He plays the right way and he’s a good guy in the room. I don’t ever have to punish him or bench him and frankly I don’t want to babysit 20 year olds anymore, I want to win now.”

GMDB calling Toronto back: “Brad, bad news. I’m not allowed to trade him.”

Just seen that TK was fine $5k for his cross check and Smith was suspended 2 games. The league is a joke

It all depends on what the trade app says..
- Flyerz74


Fletch is old school. The trade app is the same one he used in Minny.

Fletcher: Treliving is offering futures for Walker and a 3rd. Is this a good deal?

Magic 8 Ball: As I see it, yes.

Yes, but we know that they have to be hit over the head a few times before they realize it. This next month will likely do it, but who knows. I had them in last place in the eastern conference by Thanksgiving after they lost to the Sharks.

We are agreeing to much lately.

Seems fair to me too. TK's cross check was no gimme, but that slash was straight out of Friday the 13th! If TK was a soccer player he'd still be down on the ice writhing in pain. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

once the losses start to come in with more frequency they will start to tune him out is my guess.

amazes me how cocky he is at this juncture of his career. Hasnt changed 1 iota.

Do not see any younger players really getting any better under his watch. He refuses to address the PP which is funny seeing how he wants to win every game.

Forget about any free agents to play for this guy either.
