"As a PIT fan I love this because it signals a lack of a thorough rebuild and continuing mediocrity. Very stupid decision IMO". YOU-INZ know how to tank.

Absolutely. I hope McKenna is ready for Bettman to rig the 2026 draft for Pittsburgh. FSG needs to be threatening to move the team if he doesn't. That strategy works every time.

Are you kidding? Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Flyers management does it again.

I feel bad for Michkov. Kid is extremely skilled but they are marketing him like Lebron when he joined the heat. No pressure, right? He’s basically a higher skilled Cole Caufield. Going to score 40-55 goals but is small and lacks on the defensive end. Leave the kid alone and stop with the media circus for a player that 5 teams passed on. One of those teams had a head scout with family ties to his SkA organization, yet ran to the podium when another Ska player was available this year at 5.

Then there’s the Cutter Gautier circus.

But my favorite is the fact that Philly is haunted by passing over Cale Makar in 2017. Yet Zeev Buium magically falls to them at 12 this year. I guess it’s the hockey Gods giving them a 2nd chance. But what do they do? They trade down for a (frank)ing 3rd round pick and take Jett Luchanko LOL they love his energy. Well he better be made of solar panels and supply electricity to all of Philadelphia LOL

Good move. We'd just end up trying to find someone like him in FA and would probably pay more. Contract is easily moved in 4 years too.

You fail to realize that both situations are not separate from one another. They're both examples of the same flawed philosophies that have condemned this franchise to perpetual mediocrity.

TK didn't start putting up numbers until a) Torts gave him more responsibility after teaching him D and b) started playing with faster players or ones with better skills.

Bad, bad signing. Just like Hayes, just like JVR, just like Couturier. Paying premium prices for middling players

So, his profile says his team is Flyers, and he corrects a factual point, so he becomes a Pens fan?

And as to "weren't you?" etc., yeah, he was a regular. Some pos poster called "login" threatened to doxx him. He said he was done, didn't need the aggravation. Lots of people (incl me) say they are, and then come back. He didn't. Major props to the guy.

As for "login", thank god that douche is gone, huh?

Philly is making a big mistake not doing a proper rebuild.

They have NO top 5-10 picks in their organization (outside Matvei Michkov who is a good pick). Not too sure about Jaimie Drysdale but I'll add him in there. This deal is puzzling and at least Flyers fans are being honest and vocal about their opinion here

Another Flyers overpayment. A smallish 30 goal (at best) winger worth almost $9 million. JVR, Hayes and now TK. The Flyers seem to be modeling their franchise after the Sabres of a decade ago.

The world has completely gone mad and these contracts really turn off a lot of fans of all sports Who cares anymore about how much these non star players make Greed rules all sports When will the madness stop Regular people deal with high prices and inflation and these guys hit the lottery every year for mediocrity Insane

You actually have the balls to show up here and call someone out. How about when you used a second account. Posting in broken english, trying to impersonate a foreigner. Just another example of your blatant racism.

It's one thing to discuss whether a player is worthy of a contract in terms of quality of player. It's a whole other discussion that you bring up. You're paid according to the revenue to generate and your worth. Pro athletes generate billions in revenue. Free market system

Nothing changes You just pay more money for the same effort In that case brain surgeons should be paid a million dollars per brain operation Same for heart surgeons but here you a doing nothing any better than before and getting a whole lot more money for the same mediocre results That is called lunacy All sports athletes are over rated and over paid If you want double the money give me double resullts If not go away and you wonder why loyalty has gone away Reason It is called GREED You go an buy a shirt of your favorite player (NOT ME I THINK THAT IS ALSO STUPID) and the your player leaves because someone else gives him more money and you then complain and now hate him Seems really stupid

Sir: your place in the HOF of Internet lunatics was already assured. But if it was not, your accusation to a poster of 16+ years, with whom you have interacted on many occasions in this very blog, that he has 'the balls to show up here', would have guaranteed you a first ballot approval on the basis of this post alone.

As for the rest of the gibberish, I understand it is but the lament of a man who longs to fill the aching void of an inferiority complex by saying anything that will force unending acknowledgements of his miserable existence.

I do wish I could help your genuine plight, but sadly, I have other, more interesting demands on my time.

Dubas will trade for koneckny. Add a 2nd rounder, solid nmc and 8ys at 8.7 mil. Perfect fit for the penguins on a rebuild or whatever they're doing? It would be like the Eric karlsson stupid trade.
