Bill Meltzer: Flyers

Tank the tank.

Tippett is a really interesting player, he’s such a force at times. Hopefully with some confidence from this season we will see the consistency moving forward. He’s got a chance to be a good player, he’s starting to put it together. Got to give Chuck credit on the G return, especially after seeing the Kane debacle.

Bill, do you have any insight into which deadwood was cut from the locker room entitled people and "unprofessional" front office per Torts? Barber?

Owen Tippett, Travis Konency, Wade Allison, Tyson Foerster, Cam Atkinson for 3 more seasons. We’re deep at right winger. Paper thin at center. I do wonder what shoe is going to drop.

Meanwhile, Frost easily could have had four or five primary assists in the last two games between prime scoring chances he teed up for Farabee and Tippett but none of the chances ended up being goals. Frost also had one prime chance of his own in Sunday's game.

Been the story for Frost all season. If his wingers were even finishing at a league-average level, he'd have 40-50 points right now.

a lot of average and unknown in that group. Not all that impressive

Can’t really trust Allison, who knows what’s gonna happen with Atkinson. Hopefully Foerester makes the team next year and we see what we have in him. I’m all for trading TK in the summer. Time to hit the reset button here

No, not Bill Barber. I believe, Torts is talking about some people who were gone or just about to be gone when he first arrived.

Bill, The SHL regular season ends this week. There was some mention of bringing Andrea over on a ATO. Do you see this happening?

Bill any potential flyers deals that just didnt come to fruition?

Did they discuss any players who they were interested in acquiring that you can mention?

@STHs: Booing is meangless (see: Gary Bettman).

If you're unhappy with Chuck and want to see change, don't renew.

Scum? Really?

- MBFlyerfan

Some people take hockey way too personally.

SanFillppo has suggested many times that tickets have been given away for free. So STHs might be dwindling quicker then seen. Of course, sell out crowds for Ranger games will continue. 🤢🤮

He'll be over next season. I don't about an ELC that kicks in next season plus and ATO with the Phantoms for the rest of the season but it's possible.

I think the most important question is what app was Fletcher using for his trades and was it NHL 23. Also, did Ian Anderson provide him with that number of calls he made on deadline day (17)?

Bill, how has Brink been? Seems he is putting up numbers? Will you be doing an update on prospects? Any input on Cutter?

They absolutely have interest in Byfield in LA. The Kings said he's untouchable.

He's been OK. Still not all the way back to where he was pre-injury.

My view on Gauthier is that, if he plays wing, he could hold his own (he wouldn't dominate) if he turns pro after one collegiate year. He still has a lot to learn if they are set on him playing center, and I think he needs a sophomore season if that's the case.

I've been doing prospect updates on the Flyers site this season. Did ones recently on Brink and Desnoyers. Next one is about Attard.
