If I’m being honest, I like Hathaway a lot…with this said, the priorities of the Flyers have shown to be messed up since last Thursday. Bad buyout. Questionable drafting. Lack of movable contracts.

Well, there is this but the Flyers really need to start wheeling and dealing.

And QueenVille is reinstated and eligible to coach again!!! A great option when flyers have superstars like Michkov and "Drysdale"

Totally agree. Pinto, Zegras, Rossi, are are like 21-23 and centers. Necas is only 25 and there have to be a couple other young talented center available. Also, if I had confidence is Tortorella I wouldn’t mind Frost being Michkovs center. But they need to make some moves to get younger and build something with Michkov as the cornerstone.

If Walker can repeat his season from last season, that’s an alright signing. The Ghost signing…if you don’t love him enough to sign him the first time, I don’t see why the Cares do it again.

He has played 42 games total in the last two seasons. Missed 122 games thru various injuries.

10 points, -23.

I don’t see the need to rush into an extension with him. That will only hurt any trade value he has. This is stupid.

Remember that guy that threw a shoe at George W Bush? I wish he was at this press conference.

So the Flyers traded the 5th overall pick in 2022 for a small, injury prone dman who didn't look like scoring much at all in his games for the Flyers. It could be a disastrous use of assets.

I’m so pumped that it’s official that MM is coming over. At least I’ll have a reason to watch. I think this team will be very bad based on what’s been done today. If the goaltending tandem struggles we are going to be bottom 10 bad. Especially if Ej gets consistent minutes. Shudder.

If the goaltending goes south we could be in the bottom five easily. I have no idea what to expect from the tandem in net this year.

Have you ever been mistaken for fun because all I ever hear is complaining.

Drysdale is newly 22 years old and a former high draft pick himself. A Penguin explodes into Drysdale’s taking out his shoulder, which I’m pretty sure he already a shoulder problem and I’m suppose to have an issue with this? Let’s see how a full season of Drysdale goes.

It’s really such a simple thing too… how many teams have rebuilt from basically scratch over the last say 5 years? How many last 2 years? Or on path. That are just light years ahead of Philly.

Sj/chi just doing laps in the past year alone.

Astounding actually.

Hey bill how many seeler/ej/gh/tk etc did sj/chi give extensions to?
Nah, not a rebuild.


How many top picks sj/chi have next year?
Nah not a rebuild.


So laughable that anyone that watches or is associated with this team flat out just doesn’t call it what it is.

A poopshow

Didn't Chicago just resign Teravainen, and bring in Maroon and Tyler Bertuzzi. Is that the sign of a rebuild? Or that it's over for them?

All o know is that after hart left we rode Ersson too much and then it all fell apart. Tbh, if it works out we’re bottom 5 bad for what looks like a solid draft I’m on board.

Let's hope we get a full season to evaluate. Right now the kid is having trouble remaining healthy which is not helping his development. You have to play to develop and he has missed a ton of time. Doesn't mean he won't be a very good player but his health is a very valid concern.
