CAA represents Briere, Couts, and now Michkov.

So CAA clients who might be involved in the old hockey trade the Flyers might have interest. Jake Sanderson OTT, Kent Johnson CLB, Trevor Zegras ANA, Mattias Samuelsson BUF. Just speculating.

Well if it’s set in stone Michkov is coming over (I’ll believe it when I see it with Russia) this should certainly make the Flyers a little more willing to part with a winger in a trade. Get this kid a center.

On another note, is Brink hitting the gym harder this offseason than any other time in his life?

The Michkov versus Torts dynamics will be interesting. Let's hope flyers can have nice things for a change.

The ELC has to be signed for the Work Visa application can be completed. Last thing I read, the ELC was supposed to be completed by Monday.

Looks like it’s signed but because it’s so late in Russia SKA won’t announce Mickov leaving until tomorrow, after which the Flyers will make their announcement.

Flyers should sell but once October hits, we shouldn’t root for this team to lose.

I never cheer for them to lose even when they’re not contenders.

Good. Continue to shed salary. I don’t expect them to be incredible no matter who is added to the lineup but if this kid could be a potential superstar, difference maker, let him be.

To be fair, the Hawks went out and got Taylor Hall, Nick Foligno, and Corey Perry last year after drafting Bedard. They are still clearly rebuilding.

While I’m inclined to believe the Flyers have never meant to do a true rebuild, those moves don’t really indicate it either way.

I would still think the likelihood of any trades are the same today as they were yesterday.

Well, there is a difference in that they have 40 million in cap space and all those guys were signed to short term deals.

All questions that will be answered….but do you pay your RW2 72 million over 8 years? For a guy that will play 6 of those years in his 30’s?

Nope, you don’t.

I’m not gonna assume or stereotype both the player or the coach before we’ve seen proof of overseas discrimination. Marian Gaborik had one of his best career seasons under Torts with the Rangers. I know Torts really liked Artem Anisimov.

June 23, 2024 the man who led the Flyers to six Stanley Cups was announced to be coming to Philadelphia 😁
