Wile i agree with trading tk because i wanted them 2 as well, not because I want to tank more just i don't think his body will hold up to the contract, but in all fairness you need to have good players here for michkov to stay happy, he doesn't want to get stomped on every game.

The Laughton thing hmmm you make a fair point, but you were in no need to move him.

Plus they got a prospect with the potential to be a top 6 player and a 1st for a bottom 6 player
( pretty freaking good return)

People are quick to ignore how unhappy Bedard is in Chicago right now. No one understands that the Flyers believe that playing with good players who will be around long term is better than a bunch of ufa fodder who are just to audition for a new job. There no reason for those Vets to get invested into the young players because they will be long gone at the snap of a finger. No reason for a guy like Michkov to get invested either into his teammates because they obviously wouldn't be around long

Not sure why ppl female dog about tanking. We are 6 points away from 3rd overall

any links to real reports of that prospect having top 6 potential. I myself haven't seen any, in fact the opposite.

you also leave out other details of that laughton trade. Why is that?

- hello it's me 2050

What they retain, who cares it's 1.5 mil

I would have done that for 1st rd pick only.
Its only for next season and it's off the books, so when we turn the corner it won't matter.

we? you are on the team?

anyway they are 6 points way because of shear incompetence. not by design. though you and others will say it doesn't matter as long as they get there right.

well it does matter holmes.

as far playng with good players, let me know when the flyers acquire them.

Exactly, it's seems like no matter what the flyers do they gonna complain.

What do rebuilding teams do?
Weed out the players that you don't think are part of the future, wile in the same process see what you have in others. Wile collecting picks, which danny is doing.

Ppl forget going the Blackhawks way is not always the best

Let's look at Edmonton how many 1st overall picks did they get and were still trash until McDavid lands in there lap.

Again who cares, those picks are hope ypu throw darts at a dartboard and 1 sticks.

Heck I trade a 4th and a 6th for a 3rd lol

So you got a prospect and a 1st for literally a bottom 6 guy and a 4th and 6th and retained 1.5 mil for 1 more season wile you in a rebuild and have lots of cap space and don't have much to resign.

Lol you sound like chicken 🐔 little the sky is falling

Again I will ask why do you always keep that part of the deal out? Because you’re a flyers felator and want to make it look better than it is t support your beloved flyers.

Also that Russian they got back who you claim is a potential top 6, what round was he drafted in?

Yes, lets look at Edmonton. Ask yourself one question. Did the oilers put themselves in the best position to draft high?

Then ask yourself did the flyers? Lets start there.

what is 100% true and factual is the flyers way leads to failure.

Oh I'm well aware he was a 5th rd pick. But sometimes they hit (again darts at a dartboard)

But he does have top 6 potential, will he hit it who knows, he very well might not we will see, but what i do know is laughton is a bottom 6 guarantee

Also I highly doubt the make all 7 picks in the first 2 rds
I bet 95% they trade some

I expect BUF to finish strong. Dahlin is not happy with losing. He has already met with the GM. I would assume Ruff has been told to win as many games as possible down the stretch. I consider Dahlin a top 10 player in this league overall.

For the Flyers, a top 4 finish is possible. The HC doing an interview absolving his coaching staff and himself of team performance woes only helps in that pursuit. Year 3 of grumpy, old man yelling is wearing thin to the team, IMO.

Not by doing the right thing

Name another team to win the lottery draft 4 times in what 7 years( could be more)
And I think 2 or 3. 1st lottery picks are no longer on the roster.

Name another team in the nhl to get to the cup in the last 15 years that had that many 1st overall
