Why you want to lose and the Flyers only have 1 more call up
- SlNlSTER

Question, what is the call-up rule and does it take effect after the trade deadline?

Hey Ek, why on earth would you ban me for asking a simple question? Appreciate a response so I can become a better poster. Makes no sense to me. What is the reason.

I have sent numerous PM's and get no response. Sent emails, no response.

OFFENDING POST:
The Fan Blog : I Believe the Flyers have an “offer to beat” on Scott Laughton…
- the_fan_blog

Are you saying they have an offer they will accept? If a team wants him they have to beat said offer?

Difference between a good organization and the Flyers...
- Farabee was averaging about 0.5 ppg when they resigned him at 6 yrs for $5MM.
- After having a breakout half season, Wash signs Protas (about 0.7 ppg) for 5 years at $3.4 per.

Better cap management plus if he falters like Farabee, Wash won't have to give away 2 players like the Flyers

So with another potential late season implosion happening, might be time to question style of play and personnel usage.

Maybe playing TK 21 minutes a night iis not the best approach to have sustained production throughout the entire season. Sanhiem over 24 minutes might be too much. One could agrue these are excuses for the players. Or there is no one else on the roster to fill in those minutes. Fair points.

I'm good with this season ending terribly. Securing that top 5 pick should be the priority. Going forward just to believe it is only lack of talent causing them to get destroyed the last 25 games again is short sighted.

You’re probably right. And he has another poopshow season next year and THEN the Flyers make a move. They’re always late about everything so they will probably be late with this too.

The funny thing is Briere is probably going to want to start adding pieces via FA this summer and no player worth a damn is going to consider coming here to play for this coach.

Ill add that there are no UFA's that are worth spending big money on. I hope that is a deterrent. My guess is that any big moves he tries to make will be via trade.

They are no closer to contending for anything since Torts was hired. Still stuck in neutral.

Grebenkin can’t get here soon enough. Cates confirmed it last night, the loss of The Room was devastating to the room. The dog mask has lost its owner and is now directionless. Sad.

lack of talent is the main reason and driver. this team stinks. not one player has taken a big step forward. now maybe they just are not that good in the first place which is what it looks like to me. they have cornered the market on 3rd/4th line players.

all their "big" guns have gone silent. TK one goal since January 21. Total of 11 points in that span. 2 points so far in march. 5 in february. such a core piece you had to re-sign.

i agree 100%. However, I think they they do believe it or are gaslighting a certain portion of the fanbase in to believing they are.

This team is 5-7 years away, and that is if they hit on every draft pick over the next 3 years. Why people don't realize this is maddening. There will be no magic Free Agent elixir. And even if they somehow manage to sign a bonified UFA star(or three), they will be older and overpaid long before his contract expires.

This team needs to build from the draft to keep their contention window open as long as possible. This will never happen under the current plan of trying to play both sides.

And TK, going through his yearly late season slump, will be one year older. Starting a massive contract that takes him through age 36. Couturier v2 is a real possibility.

Flyers hockey baby.

The jokes write themselves when media outlets such as this blog by Ek talk about it. Will Kevin Kurz come out from under his desk for a preview of Grebby?

Is he hurt or quite possibly this is who TK is. Blistering first half of the year and simply a reversion to the mean. Neither makes the Flyers look good. If he is hurt shut him down. The player isn’t going to do it voluntarily. If he is fine looks like another albatross contract before it even starts.
