My understanding? Is that a new way of saying I have no clue, but if I had to guess?

dumb response, even for you! I meant from what I heard in podcasts and read in articles since the trade.

No, I didn't include him because they can use LTIR to replace him. So add 6.25M to that if you care to.
- MJL

Loose figures but you get the idea.
Buyout:
Hayes 3.5
DeAngelo 1.6

Buried:
Peterssen 3.8
Johansen 2.8

Ellis 6.2

Meanwhile they're paying 4M prorated for a forward that can add depth but they don't even want to give him a chance.
- MJL

the Bruins need a center that is good in defensive zone draws. Perhaps they would take him off our hands? He would be cheap (the Flyers could cover $2M) and collect another draft pick, albeit a lower one.

Probably Petersen, Johansen, Hayes and TDA..would make it close

If he was signed for just this year I think you would be onto something.

It is but they could handle that better.
- MJL


Like how?

Reports are that he is a locker room cancer and a cancer whos skills are diminishing. Avs fans are so happy he is not there anymore.

Flyers get a first round pick and send the man to the Phantoms.

Podcast = Jason Myrtetus..Flyers Daily.

A huge homer....He is so far up the Flyers a$$ he see's the fork enter their mouths. I used to listen to him for like 3 months, but he is just so over the top with his love of Torts and all things Flyers, that it is not possible to listen to his over the top one sidedness. I get he covers the Flyers, but he doesn't criticize or question the Flyers, just raves on and on as to how good they are, how they are living up to the standard, etc etc etc. He has bought Torts crap hook, line and sinker. Can't listen to it.

- WhiskeyMan


Bill mentioned that Laughton was dealing with an illness. Wonder if it's the TDL-eve flu... At this point I would be shocked if he were moved. Maybe DB is just being extra cautious just in case the offer he can't refuse comes along

So what's the feeling about a Laughton move?
Will anyone offer a first for him?
Will Danny take less than a first?

- FlyersGrace


I dont think they will, I think they will want more now, in the of-season? Maybe.

Thatā€™s weird that heā€™s a locker room cancer the way Mac runs the room. Like he has any influence. He had 63 points in 2022. The Flyers power play sucks. Why not try him there.Itā€™s brain dead to just throw him away.

He goes against the culture they are trying to build like Hayes did.

Going back to the Hayes signing, I wanted Brock Nelson. Talk about two guys that went in opposite direction. And Hayes got paid more šŸ˜‚

I listen to Jason, he is a Flyers employee so I know where he is coming from. However his pod was not what I was referencing.

Lol, I don't think Scott has to worry at all about possibly being traded as long as Torts is around.

Bill is on several podcasts and works pretty hard. I don't always agree with him but I appreciate what he does, and that he loves the Flyers. Look, everyone has an angle, everyone has opinions. I just try to listen and connect the dots.

You would like Snow the Goalie then, they hate Torts. Locked on Flyers is meh, but Russ Cohen is another person that dislikes Torts and criticizes the management frequently.

Nope, I don't listen to a lot of podcasts....might as well listen to the local sport radio to hear the same garbage spewed about Vancouver....I do like Elliott Friedman..he seems to be one of the most connected guys in the business.
