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.

For what it’s worth, espn has the Flyers 19th in its way too early power rankings.

Nomansland. The Flyers love it here.

- StepfordSam

19th seems about right if everyone stays healthy. And we know that won’t happen.

Once Coots inevitably goes down this team will go from mediocre to downright bad. Who knows what they’ll get out of Drysdale on top of that. I like the kid’s game but let’s be realistic. He’s wildly injury prone until proven otherwise.

Hoping Michkov provides a big boost but he’s a rookie winger with underwhelming center options. I think people might need to temper expectations out of the gate.

https://www.nhl.com/news/philadelphia-flyers-jamie-drysdale-eager-for-upcoming-season

"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

- hello it's me 2050[this season], should be a lot freer to play."

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

This is all talk soup and frankly, doesn’t really matter. If a player wants to play and can play, ultimately they’re gonna play.

Diplomatically put and well explained. It won't matter though, he is incapable of learning. Again yesterday, he posted that Konecny should only get 7 years because the Flyers are the only team that can offer him 8 years. Even though that has been explained to him numerous times on how that is wrong. It's just daily stupidity.
- MJL


Who is the stupid one?

Players can only sign a contract for up to seven years. If they re-sign with their current team, the maximum length is eight years which can result in possible sign-and-trade deals.

Well it didn't take long for the press to declare the Flyers roster improved by doing nothing.

I'm not sure what stats he is using for some of his opinions. Provorov didn't have a great year in 2022 but was he really one of the worst 2 dmen on a team with Risto? Not sure why Michkov would affect Laughton's or ND's ice time going forward either. I will say he made a pretty compelling case for just plain dumping Laughton to the waiver wire but he didn't factor in leadership and "great in the locker room".

You're the one on here saying that fantasy trade proposal gave you hope, so please explain to everyone why Krebs would be a great pickup for the Flyers and worth that proposed trade, and site soruces to backup every aspect of your argument!

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.

- MJL


For most people like me its easy but for people like yourself and MBFlyerFan I understand it must be very hard, so I will put things in bullet points to help you understand:

1. Multiple reports have stated that since the end of the season, the Flyers have offered Frost, Farabee, Risto and Laughton in trades.

2. In his media availability after the draft, Briere confirmed he has had talks with teams about trades but those deals would need to happen by mid July the latest since people leave for summer vacation and things quiet down after that.

reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdBD0xjpiNk

3. Its July 10th and not only has there been no trades made, there is not even a hint of a deal pending from any reputable source that I have seen.

Given these three basic facts, I conclude the Flyers must not have received any offers that they would consider and going into this season their lineup will be what it currently is. I maintain that this lineup has a real chance to be better than last year's lineup since Cam is gone, Deslauriers will be relegated to the 13th forward and Michkov is in the lineup. This concerns me greatly.

Can you grasp all this? I know there is a lot here, so read slowly several times so you can understand, and then commence with your childish and borish bashing.

Good day.

Not what I said.
It gives me hope that Farabee has some real value around the league.


And again why? Its not my problem what you think about what I said. I don't have to backup anything. I stated nothing as fact, pure opinion, unlike you who states everything he says as fact. Acting like some insider. And then changes what he said to match when the facts change. Then comes in and makes sure he tells everybody what he said, smelling his own farts while everyone else knows its $hit.

Go back to the kids table and think about how I destroyed you today. Because obviously its been bothering you nonstop.

I believe that MB is perfectly capable of reading and understanding my opinion on Krebs without me having to go tell him. Unlike you, he doesn't need to be repeatedly told something.

You destroyed noone today .. I have faced much tougher than you and believe me, you can't touch me. You attacked me for no effin reason. There are no goal posts being moved here. I don't act like anything, and certainly not as an insider. And I certainly don't attack people like you and others do on here. I stated my opinions, that's all. If you disagree with them, fine. Like I said, all you want to do every day is come on here and bash the team that you are supposedly a fan of. I don't do that. I don't assume that Briere and Jones are stupid and are going to fail, or that Brent Flahr doesn't know how to draft players, or that every Flyers' scout is a moron. That';s what you do on here, and I'm sick of it. If you hate the Flyers so much, go root for another team! Believe me when I tell you, NO ONE WILL MISS YOU!

No actually he didn't. He didn't post the stupidity that you were called out for. Which was outlined for you in MB's post in reply to you. You still can't figure it out.

Of course, you'll just pretend that how you changed course, after it was untenable for you to continue, which actually took weeks. Specifically concerning Konecny and now pretend like you knew it all along. Following a very predictable path that I predicted you would take weeks ago.

You are clueless and make a fool of yourself, every single day. You really outdid yourself today. I think you've earned the day off tomorrow. You actually posted enough foolishness for the rest of the week.

What Briere was offered for Laughton at the trade deadline last year is completely irrelevant to the current situation. Teams often overpay at the deadline for players because they are more desperate at the deadline to make a run in the playoffs. I am discussing the hear and the now, and its not a BIG leap to presume that Briere has not got any offers which he deems serious enough given what I laid out prior. I never said this was a fact. This is what I think. THAT IS ALL I SAID. That RIGHT NOW, not last trade deadline, Briere has not received any serious offers for the players he wants to trade. Is this so controversial or incorrect that it deserves this many words of back and forth? MB brought up last trade deadline, not me. So if anyone is changing context here, its him. This is the last I will say about it.
