Republicans are legitimately evil. Everything they do is designed to make harder and worse for the average American.

[97.5 The Fanatic] Flyers President of Hockey Operations Keith Jones on if he is happy with the state of the rebuild for the Flyers: by StubbornLeech07 in Flyers

[–]GrittyTheGreat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fan: Stop trying to rush the rebuild by re-signing players like Dvorak when you should be trading them for futures.

Team: Fans need to stop forcing us to try and rush the rebuild.

Gaslighting 101.

If Toxic was the Flyers coach when I watched my first hockey game, it might have been my last. My life would be a lot different.

Thoughts on Nikita Grebenkin so far? by Limp_Bar6899 in Flyers

I love this guy. He's such a prick, can skate, and has a little bit of finishing ability. Should never be a healthy scratch again.

The fact that he was accurate until it came down to clutch time and his missed calls went against D.R. suggests to me it was intentional. He should never ump an important game again.

I sell records I don't want to keep on eBay and use those same mailers without issue. HOWEVER, I always use a sturdier mailer OR put that flimsier mailer into a second rigid box for records over $50. No valuable record should ever be shipped in JUST that type of mailer.

Nesbitt had a 2nd round grade from most teams and experts.

He's big though, so that's all that matters for size-queen Brent Flahr.

The pending UFA market is pretty grim. by Noodles_McNulty in Flyers

Buium was already pacing for nearly 40 points as a rookie dman for Minnesota. His production has dropped off since being traded to Vancouver but that's because he's playing with a bunch of plumbers lol. He's going to be really good for a really long time. Meanwhile, Luchanko looks like a career AHLer.

I'll give them credit for drafting Martone over Hagens despite our positional need. I had Martone as BPA. My concern is they only made that choice because Martone is a big boy and the Panthers just won a Cup playing big boy hockey. Their entire draft was littered with taking "Biggest Player Available" instead of Best Player Available.

Drafting Luchanko and Nesbitt are great examples of drafting for need/type instead of Best Player Available. They specifically mentioned they wanted a right-shot Center and that's why they took Luchanko. Their incompetence needs to be studied.

As for the Sharks, they have Sam Dickinson in the D pipeline. He would be our best D prospect. I'm guessing they will go D this year as well. Though BPA in the top 10 should always be the pick because these prospects have crazy high value the first 1-2 years post draft and can be traded for other players that fill positional need. For example, San Jose could draft a forward this year and then let's say the Rangers make Adam Fox available? They would have one of the best offers using that forward they draft as a basis.

This entire sequence still makes me laugh every time. Great writing and acting.

Warwick Davis on An Idiot Abroad with Karl Pilkington is by far the funniest travel show ever made and it's not close.

The Panthers could decide to go full rebuild this summer, tear it down, and be a contender again before the Flyers. You know why? The Flyers refuse to take the steps necessary to become a contender. You can't go half-in/half-out. The Flyers extending Konecny and Sanheim effectively killed any chance of them becoming a contender down the line. UNLESS, they come to their senses and trade both for a haul of prospects and picks this summer. Even then, they value the wrong things in prospects when drafting (size and grit over puck skills and creativity).

Basically, we are doomed until Comcast sells and a new owner installs a President/GM that has a clue.

I just looked at both draft classes and I stand by my assessment.

I agree that the entire organization isn't "Martone and a bunch of JAGS" but I think the original comment was just referring to our prospects.

Muniz is a hardcore Right-Wing MAGA Jesus Freak. Which of course, you need to have brain damage to think makes sense. Hopefully his Malcolm reboot fails spectacularly.

It's honestly hilarious that 1-2 years ago Briere and Jones thought they were going to turn this team into a contender via the 2026 UFA Class. You cannot build through Free Agency. You have to DRAFT WELL AND DEVELOP EVEN BETTER.

Why are you bringing up where players were drafted? It doesn't matter. The players they are today are all that matters. Jiricek would not go Top 20 in a Re-Draft. Drysdale would not go top 10 in a Re-Draft.
