I'm holding off judgement until more comes out and how Drysdale works out.

If Cutter really didn't want to be in Philly and Drysdale can show signs of a top pair D...then yeah no brainer for Philly.

I liked Cutter's potential, but if the Flyers can strengthen the backend with another young RHD that's a great move. Plus an early 2nd rounder?

Also calls Gauthier a left winger. We traded a left winger for a potential top pair right shot defenseman.

Hmmm...Drysdale better stay healthy or this is going to be ugly. Drysdale is a pretty darn good dman but his health scares me.

Someone has to sit with Drysdale coming in. On one hand I like Ristolainen at even strength. On the other hand Zamula is young and seems to have something going on the power play. I think that top pair might get broken up. Maybe Sanheim off the right side?

Wow, Briere talking now. Does go back to the summer, then said Gauthier flipped flopped he would come. Now, no talk after WJC. Crazy.
- Trox88

I wonder if he was even shopped or did this come rater quickly? As there was no rumors at all which is a tad odd.

Hartnell said he wanted to sign in the summer and danny wanted him back in school. That caused some animosity.

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

The question is..... who is now the odd man out on D.

Does DB have another move lined up?

Team negative in shambles

What a poophole organization.

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

He was injured

Oh, okay. I guess that's good although the last thing this team needs is another injury prone defenseman.

Wow, Briere just confirmed it! He informed the Flyers only a few months after being drafted he did not want to play for the Flyers, after telling the Flyers at the draft he was made to be a Flyer.

Can't blame the Flyers here. They treat their players really, really well. I can't see how they did anything wrong to this kid, unless their insistence he play center had anything to do with this?

I'll tell you what, Gauthier is going to hate coming to Philly to play. Never played a game in the NHL and thinks he's Eric Lindros. I'm going to wear my Flyers jersey at the next BC game and boo him every time he touches the puck. I would love to get more of you up here and do the same

Why didn't Briere get Zegras back in the trade instead of the 2nd round pick?

Overshadowed by the big trade but there is a game going on. How about the play by Zamula on the PP? Offense is about deception. Especially on the PP. The Flyers have very little of it. Especially on the PP. Zamula challenges the Pkers at the top, makes one go down to block a shot that isn't taken. Captures the eyes of the goaltender and then passes to Tippett on the wing, who has basically an empty net. Great work by Zamula.

More to this….CG wanted to turn pro….Briere wanted him to go back to school….that’s not what Briere said….he said it was CG’s choice.

Very strange, pretty sure Walker and Seeler are being moved. Did Gauthier's relationship with Hayes have any impact? Odd because most guys look forward to playing in a big market.

That one game he plays a year in Philly will teach him. He will prob have a hat trick the first game he plays in Philly.

Yes, I am concerned he's getting injured already. Hopefully he can hang out with York in the weight room and get ripped.
