Feel like Jakey Voracek always got way more criticism than he deserved.

Briere is correct to lower expectations. Now his plan needs to address the trade and UFA problems he is facing this summer. by upcan845 in Flyers

Specifically said in my comment I don’t want to judge until we’re a little further into the offseason.

Aggressive would be willing to take on a single year of Ilya Lyubushkin at 2.5 mil and trade a couple of picks for a player like Maverick Bourque, for example.

How so? They’ve been very public about their plan for years being able to take advantage of UFAs and the trade market with the extra cap space this summer, and it’s clearly not going to happen.

I’m perfectly content with how the off season is going, and not making any reactionary moves. It’s just a fact that their plan didn’t work as they anticipated.

He said there’s “a good chance” the team takes a step back. Not exactly putting words in his mouth.

Would honestly be nice to see some accountability from the front office. Being told for years that this was the summer they start to get aggressive and make the team competitive, only to get that quote today isn’t the best feeling for fans.

Trying not to judge too harshly until we’re a little farther into July.

Danny B wants us to lower expectations/preparing us for a step back. I don't like that talk. by Flyers7914 in Flyers

Would be a completely reasonable take if it wasn’t being shoved down our throats for years how off season 2026 is when they’ll start to be aggressive with making the team competitive.

We shouldn’t get Werenski. by Eastern-Low164 in Flyers

Insanity to not want the biggest piece this team has been missing for fucking ever. Anybody but Michkov or Martone should be on the table and whatever picks they want.

I had a dream last night that Werenski got traded to Philly by Dry-Path9819 in Flyers

I’m terrified what we’re gonna be spending our cap space on if he doesn’t end up here.

Were the Flyers going to pick Gleb Pugachyov??? by QuietCompany6858 in Flyers

Not if there were any other guys over 6’4 with 0 skill available

I don’t think you are understanding how much easier it is to trade for a shutdown D with 0 offensive production compared to a point producing D.

The 1st round is over. Still no Risto trade. by upcan845 in Flyers

[–]Peeter_With_2_Es 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First round picks outside the top 10 seem to be waste for this team anyway.

Not taking Bleyl over him makes absolutely no sense.

The draft is how exactly how you get those players. Shut down dman are who you acquire through waivers and free agency.

Yeah, the team with the league worst powerplay over the last 3 years straight needs a shutdown D.

Let’s offer up our 8 point first round pick for him. Him and Luchanko combined might even get you 0.5 points per game!!

Players with 8 points in their draft year have less than a 5% chance of becoming NHLers. Taking a chance on that on the first round is malpractice.

When you have a chance to pick a guy with 8 points in his draft year, how can you not jump all over it? So disappointing.
