agreed, a tank should have been done. Torts understandably wont do it, so danny needed to make some moves last year. Sitting Coots when injured, trading TK last year.

Not even a tank….just trade (frank)ing guys that don’t fit the time line and actually have value…f culture…a great culture is a WINNING culture.

Elliott Friedman on Philly/ Columbus trade talk..

Friedman on PHI/CBJ/#4 via 32 Thoughts:




So..3 firsts? No way in hell do I do that for an unproven prospect.

- TheFreak


Yea that's a hard no, nobody in this draft is worth 3 firsts, Especially where the flyers are at

The 1rst pick is….if that’s the offer, and rumours must be taken with a grain of salt, then they must really think there’s a guy thats worth it.

You tell me. You seem to know so much about me. What’s the percentage of my ethnicity again? Maybe you can start with my father

You thought the offers on here the other day were a waste of assets….
- landros 2



I do think that moving up is a waste of assetts. Trading a TK with a first to move up 5 spots is a watse. TK should be able to get a first by himself, so trading 2 firsts to move up 5 spots is a waste to me. just like this rumor with CLB...3 firsts for a draft pick? Not even a can't miss player at #4..it is a waste.

My opinion has always been..take the BPA this year with both picks. Trade TK for a pick and prospect. Don't buy anyone out. Take the year as a building year. Keep next years firsts, hopefully 3 with a TK trade. Target positionally next year, based on what we have and how Michkov does.

Start 25/26 with cap space, 4-5 first rounders in the system, and Michkov here.

I am 100% against moving up and trading multiple firsts and players to do it. The team needs so much more than just 1 high end player. My opinion hasn't changed.

Nope still wouldn't do it. Very few 1st overall players are.

Obviously there are some but not in this draft class

here is my take, if they obviously like someone at that spot and feel he is their guy then not much of a problem going for said player.

Now they better hope that is fn home run.

Now if they gave up all those picks the smart thing to do is then try to recoup as many as you can by moving tk, laughton, and the like. This is where they will fail and screw up imo.

- hello it's me 2050


This is a good take. If they really like a guy so much that they expend a ton of draft capital for they sure as hell better have others out the door the other way.

But dumb Flyers probably view it as a move to contend with the players they already have.

Might be within reach by March Michkov and Demidov playing on the same line. Let's see if Briere can convince Waddell to move.

doing what I said would at least constitute a plan and signify yes, they are looking at the future rather than the short term.

You said:


Gauthier never played for the Flyers, so using your logic here, how did we lose him?

Agree with this.

I believe if they are close then something gets done. They'll find a way if they have someone they want.

If they trade guys, then in as much that they are worth trading and therefore have value (like TK, Laughton ...) wouldn't that worsen the team in the short run? And if it did, how could that lead to a winning culture?

By having a team that is not a playoff team…how long do you think this strong culture they apparently have fostered will last? You want a long term, strong culture ? build a young, fast and skilled team that the players actually believe can win.
