Rumor is Gauthier is really good friends with Kevin Hayes ... Ohhhh .. now I get it!

i've been following drysdale closely he's injured but he projects a 1-2 defenseman
- 2Real

I had to gp read up but you're right.... all of the bad that I've heard about him was due to his injury history and not his game.
I'm not sure of his exact injuries but you know that here in Philly we just can't have nice things...

Not for today's NHL. Some of the best defenseman in the league are around that size.
- MJL

We were just talking about balancing out the team...

And this trade happens. Go Figure.

Dysdale has already played 113 NHL games.

your hero chuck fletcher really did his due diligence on cutter. What a backgrund check he did.

yes you blame them 100%
- hello it's me 2050

Ill keep saying it

SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED JIRICEK

You have got to hear Bundy on snow the goalie .. its halarious

shilling for danny boy and "jonesy" I bet 100%

Torts confirmed during intermission that Drysdale will be a healthy scratch for 6 of the next 8 games.
- Levit8

Great! If he is a Hayes follower than get him outta here. Snowflakes are us. Eh what?
- Phillywhiteout

Fletcher with the double whammy. Trades and signs Hayes. Drafts a prospect who won t sign for the Flyers with Jiricek on the board.

Didn't Anaheim recently extend Zegras?
- Pelle31Forever

Anaheim is pretty strong at Forward and Defense with prospects...not including this upcoming draft (probably a top 3 pick). Makes me wonder if Anaheim shops someone like Zegras, just speculation.

I don’t know anything about the guy we got, but you guys got an absolute stud, who can skate like the wind… and is a fabulous player to boot…

WTF is wrong with you Verbeek …

Drysdale had an assist vs. Detroit Sunday night. So he looks healthy now.

Nice to know

Drysdale = Ellis

I found it interesting how DB made a point of saying what a high character person Drysdale is. Mentioned it a couple of times. Is that DB’s polite way of saying Gauthier does not have integrity?

Hayes likes little boys?

Nice trade

An overpay for Hart and TK ( when ext eligible) to show they want to be in Philadelphia.

Seeler is feeling it

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!

Maybe wasn’t thrilled about playing the center position.

if you were a young, highly drafted player in the USNDT, would you really want to play for Torts? Those kids are very talented but I have to believe the prospect of playing for Torts was not ideal.

Looking forward to seeing Drysdale this year

doooooood, WJC MVP

If we're being honest, acquiring a young injured defenseman doesn't make anyone on the Flyers' D expendable.

Nice trade

frank you

Gotta hand it to Briere... he sold high on Cutter with how he's showing at the WJC... I like this trade.
