Patrick apparently is giving him fortnite training during the bye week to repay him for all the help he’s lent

"Darn if i kept Philpulla and acquired healthy goalies and TROTZ! My flyers would have won the Metro. On paper flyer is so much better than the Isles!"

Isles are better because

1) they have one of the best coaches in the league
2) They are committed to team D
3) Had goaltending all year round
4) Have a proven finisher in Anders Lee who is proving doubters wrong
5) They have a good PP
6) They have Grit, Skill is good but you need guys who will win puck battles and just in general wont give guys space easily.

I said Isles and Sens would be better than people expect. I was 50% correct. Then again I think people expected the Sens to be a lot worse than they are. At least they are winning some games.

LOL Silly Just5, One can't simply train in the art of Fortnite.... It is a power bestowed onto a select few by the Gods themselves

I know it can be somewhat alarming for Patrick calling Weise best teammate he’s ever had and that he wouldn’t say other guys like G, but maybe Patrick was just being a supportive guy and offering kind words for someone in the poop house. Or maybe he lost a bet with TK since they’re best friends 🤷‍♂️ I wouldn’t read too much into his comments though. However this situation overall is strange. Then again, nice to see Fletcher taking some control I suppose.

Wall Street would be screwed if everyone was an educated investor. Financial advisors would be done to start with. Most of their advice is useless

1.) Educated investors get worked all the time. Folks need to admit that Wall Street is just another casino.

2.) Financial advisors are all (frank)ing charlatans. Not "most of their advice is useless". ALL of their advice is pointless.

I have no problem with Patrick saying Weise is the best teammate he's ever had. Good for Patrick for being supportive of a teammate.

And yes, the situation is very strange. Can only guess and trade is imminent.

You are an idiot to make statements like that. There are some advisors who should find other work, as they were trained by a company to push their products, but there advisors who are macro-economic planners that encompass investments, tax consequences, and estate planning concepts whom their clients swear by. There is a saying “you don’t know what you don’t know”. Think about that before running your mouth.

Here is the thing, the last place Flyers have decided that Weise, who is under contract for one more year after this at a 2.3M cap hit, is not only no longer good enough play on our last place team but we also don't want him around our team. Hey would you like to trade for him?

Just because we want him doesnt mean he isnt good. Change of scenery helps many players not to mention Weise has never been a fit for this team. He gets a bad rap by many fans but lets not forgot how well he played at the beginning of the season. Weise was successful in Chicago and Montreal before coming to Philly. If he is on the right team with a system that benefits him, he can be successful. He doesnt appear happy here either. A happy employee usually is a more productive one.

So the Flyers, a team pretty much in the basement of the NHL doesn't want a good player? That good player isn't good enough to practice and travel with he team as the 13th forward? Not a single NHL team wanted that good player without having to give up any player assets? I think you're missing the boat here.
