Do you know why he has only played 10 games this year?

I wonder if the Flyers were getting any vibes about Cutter not signing here.
I watched a few of the tournament last week and Cutter definitely has a awesome shot, hard, accurate and gets it off quickly. I believe he did lead the tournament in assists. He did seem like a perimeter player in the games I watched.
I was looking forward to seeing him sign and play a few games at the end of this season to get a better read on him. Well that’s not happening now do I hope they had the right call!

- Hosher12

That's all we can do is hope.
He seemed to have a ton of potential... I just don't know why he would hate playing here, of those rumors are true.
It's odd that the rumors flooded the internet after he was traded when there previously has been no mention of CG not wanting to play here.
Needless to say, this was a surprise lol
Hopefully Drysdale can be who Anaheim thought he was when they drafted him 6th overall.
Apparently it's his injury history that has held him back, from what I just read

Well, Jonesy wasn t kidding about building the blueline, they certainly have no center depth. Long term blueline - Drysdale. York, Sanheim, Zamula, and I believe Andrae.

Drysdale has been limited to just 10 games this season; he was forced to miss 29 contests due to a lower-body issue. The 21-year-old blueliner has five points in those 10 appearances and is averaging 21:35 of ice time per game. A top-10 pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Drysdale played just eight games during the 2022-23 campaign and has yet to fully display his potential at the top level. Expect him to fill a top-four role in Philadelphia with some power-play time.

Yup, very true. Hope better results. About to find out how good Brad Shaw is at developing Dmen.

Didn't Michkov tell Arizona he wasn't playing for them, hence why they passed on him in the draft?
- Pelle31Forever

That or he skipped meeting with the teams after they requested a meeting with him

Darren Dreger said “Briere working on this for months….would not sign or even TALK to the the Flyers. Wow….guy must think he’s something special.
- landros 2


Is that tweet from Friedman about michkov legit? If so, our two best prospects both want out?

I'm mostly just being an ass. I know Michov reportedly told teams he wouldn't transfer for them. As much as I hate Philly, they are a top tier organization so no idea why he, or any other player, wouldn't play for them. Arizona I can fully understand.

Wow. I know both were 5th overall picks but cutters upside is way higher, the reason why Anaheim added the 2nd. Weird trade for Philly. Could be devastating.

I don’t mind it if he can stay healthy and be a top 4 guy. I am not as excited to have to trade a top forward prospect to get them.

Doubt with Michkov...he was genuinely excited about being drafted here and said he was a Flyers fan.

Hopefully this trade makes Walker and / or Seeler more expendable to trade deadline to stockpile assets.

What a poophole organization.

At least the alumni night went well though. Have to keep those morons fed, and happy.

Wow, Briere talking now. Does go back to the summer, then said Gauthier flipped flopped he would come. Now, no talk after WJC. Crazy.

Can’t find that tweet about Michkov anywhere. I think he edited it to stir the pot 👀 🍯

Briere confirms Gauthier told them he didn't want to play for the Flyers last May after the World Championships.

I didn't say the trade did, just that I am not surprised because he was not as dominant as I expected him to be.
