Why Krebs? Enthroll us with your vast hockey knowledge. I think the kid Sucks and is going nowhere, prove me wrong.

This is a stupid statement. Just as you can't prove that he sucks and is going nowhere, you can only offer an opinion. There is also your track record of evaluating players. Where there is overwhelming proof that your ability to do that, well sucks!

17 points in 80 games is an indication that well he isn't very good, no?

It has been reported by multiple reputable sources, like Anthony DiMarco, Frank Seravalli and those on The Fourth Period that the Flyers have dangled these players. You can choose whether you want to believe those reports or not. I choose to believe them. Briere in fact has spoken abut Farabee, saying there is much more expected out of him than what he has given the Flyers so far. I'll let you find the recent interview where he said this.

Lets just cut to the chase. You, MJL and Tomahawk just want to come on this forum every single hour of the day and spew your narrative that the Flyers are stupid, everything they do is wrong, they are dysfunctional, Briere is over his head, Jones is just a color analyst, etc, etc, etc. Are these facts or just your opinions? Do you have any proof of your own that this is the case? Any articles from reputable sources that back up your claims? You can live in your misery all you want, have fun! As for me, I will continue to come on to this forum and talk hockey, and stay out of the insulting others business, which you and others seem to feast on in your lonely lives.

Well since you put it that way… mb mjl tomahawk would be stating FACTS not opinion.

As usual the dumbest of the dumb can’t see what’s in front of his eyes. No critical thinking. Why would they need to back up their “facts” with reputable sources? They have results of season after season. Those are the FACTS.

Former high picks that have struggled are players the Flyers should be targeting. Especially if they are a center or d-man. The talent was clearly there at one point. Maybe a change of scenery cracks the code, maybe it doesn't. If the Flyers got a 2nd round pick and Krebs for Laughton I would be happy with that deal.

He is under contract through next season. I don't like waiting until next year but they have that option. No rush from the Flyers point of view. Why not ask for the world right now?
- mickel25

I feel like it’s asking the world of Laughton just to produce.

Not for a player like Farabee, they shouldn't.

His lack of production over the next season and a half will not diminish his trade value all that much in my opinion. Teams that want him see his intangibles as his best asset. He will still be worth a second at this trade deadline or the next.

Again, I would prefer to trade him now.

Same here... I thought the kid was going to be better when drafted but just does not seem to have more upside. Young but not very enthusiastic for trading for him.

Even after MB explained what the issue is in plain language, very succinctly. You still can't grasp it. You still can't figure out where you went wrong. LMAO




Proof is offered to you every single day. The most recent is the Youtube video that you linked! LOL

We know you'll continue to do what you do. We know you'll continue to not understand what a coach or team exec is actually saying. We know you'll continue to display the inability to learn. We know you'll continue to display your complete inability to properly assess anything in the sport of hockey. We know that you'll continue to have blind dumb and unearned faith in this franchise and how it is run. We know that you'll continue to make a fool of yourself on a daily basis.

I think it’s time we all just set a few basic terms for things like jd spews. I put forth a few
1)status quo
2) 90 %er (fans base 90% dumbasses )

Wouldn’t even say young so much. I mean yeah young but turns 24 basically start of season. Could still show more but not like he’s 20/21 years old

I’m curious about something… I’ve been screaming for 2 years to trade players like tk laughts hart and at different points more on some than the others (draft tdl free agency opening) as these players were having good seasons and such.

I was told by many that there was no need to rush. That things like their value could go up. That’s there’s plenty of time etc etc etc.

I’m curious how those that pushed back on me are feeling now 1 year or more how you’re feeling about it? You know who you are I don’t need to name names. I’m just curious if any lesson was learned or do you still feel that the right move is to not just move on when value is clearly fair. Example of db stating fair value for laughts but don’t trade.


We now see what risk are holding players as value can easily go down but more importantly time running out to make move.

"Flyers general manager Daniel Briere said during the NHL Scouting Combine last month how impressive it was that Drysdale played through what he called a "significant injury."

He wanted to play games," Briere said. "He's had a lot of injuries to deal with the last few years, so he wanted to play, so I give him a lot of credit. He showed a lot of character, leadership, the way he handled it.

"He should be in a much better position [this season], should be a lot freer to play."

flyers culture rules. yeah they are not dumb at all.

Remove Hart from the conversation, the league knew there was a cloud hanging over him, no trade on the table.

Because jd opinion is always the unlikely thing to happen. Did he give 1 reason to think krebs will ever do anything? No?

Well he hasn’t done squat and a simple oh maybe a change of scenario crap doesn’t fly. He already had a change of scenario. For Christ sake benson came in as rookie and played a bigger role than krebs.

So yeah the likely opinion based on what we know has happened for all to see is he blows

I don’t know. Google suggested I watch this.

- roenick97


I watched that yesterday. Seems like Samulsson (6’4” 220 lbs) may be a good anddition and Krebs is a reclamation project with upside. That might be a fair trade if the salaries work out. Although we’d hear how the Flyers only did it to bring Kjell’s kid on. Haha

I'll suspend ignoring your dumbass for just this once to explain something very simple to you that eluded you. I did not disagree with his opinion on Krebs. I disagreed with his asking MB to prove him wrong as his opinion stated in part that Krebs is going nowhere. That is about the future and nobody can prove that is right or wrong simply because it is in the future. It's an opinion, not a fact. JD was being a dumbass just as you are. Now back to ignoring you.
