Sanheim-Drysdale
York-Ristolainen
Seeler-Walker

Half the fanbase has a meltdown

I don't think Zamula is coming out of the lineup.

Would rather have Zamula in there, but I am bias because I like his game.

It’s still possible that we lost this trade badly but brieres hand was forced.
- Hextall271


There's a chance Anaheim loses badly, there's just as much possibility for both sides. The Flyers didn't trade a generational talent.

The biggest factor here is Tort, doesn’t sound like Drysdale plays a Torts style game. Will he allow him to play

I told you, go ask those who voted. IMO Gauthier was not even the best player on the USA team, which is a trend because he is not the best player on BC either.

I don't know where to even start. That's a trend? LOL

Will Rizzo sign? He is killing in college.

If that’s true, that would be a shame they then drafted Bonk. Could have had our guy Gabe Perreault.
- Laceemup88


I said that earlier...should have changed our approach. we could have used Gauthier at the draft..

Interesting…on a random Penguins vs Flyers game night…now we all wait for Gauthier to be traded to Pittsburgh

Nope, it's all Torts fault!

*puts on tinfoil hat*

- Glak18


He didn't want to play here. Who cares what the reason is. I have no reason to dislike this trade and I like the potential of it. Flyers getting a potential top defenseman is an important add. The 2nd round pick is also going to be a very high pick.

Someone overheard Torts before the game saying "I don't like his hair, I'm scratching him for 39 games when he gets here".

The player he is referring to is anyone's guess...

Forgot about Rizzo, not sure if he can transition to the NHL, but that would be a steal if he can.

why are you trolling? The question is, is there a trade coming and who gets traded? I say Walker is the guy who is traded to make room for Drysdale.
- jd250


How is explaining to you that everyone already knows that he is NHL ready, trolling? He's played 123 NHL games already. Stop talking nonsense.

Well depending how the Flyers finish off the season and where players fall, maybe the Flyers grab a skilled guy like Trevor Connelly and still get another Dman like Mews or Kiviharju to stockpile.
- Glak18


I like this idea. Keep stockpiling. If there’s an opportunity to flip a tk or someone else for an overpay.

The way that franchise is tracking, it’s likely to be higher.

Why wasn't he voted the best forward in the tournament?
- MJL


I didnt think Gauthier was the best forward in the tourney, and i was rooting for him

All you need to know about Jamie is that as a rookie his most frequent matchups came against all the top lines…

He held his own against MacKinnon / Landeskog and Raantannen..

He jumps into plays and easily gets back.. no problem… and he can play with anyone and make them better …

And you guys score a 2nd rounder -

Tough to say. But reading that report MB posted, kid isn't afraid to get physical.

I think his offensive skill set is too good to sit. But Torts gonna Tort
