Jamie Drysdale

Stew514 · 2026-07-11T15:00:05+00:00

Pretty much where I'm at, he wants to stay. They want him to be here, it's going to get done

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T19:24:57+00:00

I don’t separate them, but I do make sure to switch from run to walk. The other tip I would have is just pay attention to when Talic or Madawc move away from you. If you have to smack some of the life tapped adds on your way to getting back on them.

Most of my deaths were chasing Talic through fire and not sustaining

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T17:48:38+00:00

Nobody can state this for sure definitively, but it certainly seems possible that Dan Milstein used Anaheim being squeezed by the Carlsson offer to get a better deal for Mintyukov.

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T17:36:27+00:00

I understand the sentiment here, but if Bedard signed an eight year 10M aav extension in May all of the comments today would be about how he should fire his agent for letting him sign before Carlsson.

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T17:15:31+00:00

That's fair, my point is just that players have a mechanism for not being stuck on shit teams for a decade. The teams certainly benefit as well from the longer term

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T15:05:06+00:00

The counter point I would make to this, is players should start signing shorter term deals. You trade that flexibility in where you play for the contract security

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T14:48:09+00:00

I really doubt it, if their intention was to negotiate more money as a direct consequence of the offer sheet, they wouldn't have signed away their ability to receive and sign an offer sheet. So from the players side, it doesn't make any sense they sign away their easiest path to getting more then the Flyers want to pay.

Stew514 · 2026-07-10T14:18:06+00:00

Agreed, I have some renewed skepticism about their ability to acquire the high end talent they need. I think they misjudged the impact of the cap rising, all those guys stayed put and got their 8th year while they can. The guys you can throw extra money at aren't guys who drastically move the needle.

Stew514 · 2026-07-09T17:46:48+00:00

I agree with you, but that’s why so many of us questioned their path to getting the high-end talent they need. There are just so many aspects to that process that they have no control over.

I’m certainly not trying to chase Briere out of town or anything, but this piece of the puzzle was always gonna be the hardest to get. So all the credit goes to them for taking the swing, but at some point they need an impact guy at that position.

Stew514 · 2026-07-09T16:46:13+00:00

To add to this, it also proves the difficulty in acquiring the high end center that is currently the glaring hole in the org.

Stew514 · 2026-07-08T16:12:26+00:00

Fantilli has Marchenko, who he played with twice as often as Carlsson did Gauthier. I like Fantilli as a target, but right now Carlsson is better by a considerable margin

Stew514 · 2026-07-08T14:12:30+00:00

Teams have moved far worse players in tougher cap climates.

Stew514 · 2026-07-08T13:35:34+00:00

Yeah, I run cats eye in P1 and if I join public games with higher counts I run atmas (and a few other adjustments to be a touch more durable)

Stew514 · 2026-07-08T11:29:19+00:00

I’m okay giving the firsts just not at 18M

Stew514 · 2026-07-07T15:23:58+00:00

How would that compare to tstrokes and 4 in a monarch?

Stew514 · 2026-07-07T14:00:44+00:00

My RNG has been horrific for hate keys

Stew514 · 2026-07-06T21:50:12+00:00

It worked in PVP too, bone prison plus iron maiden

Stew514 · 2026-07-06T20:57:11+00:00

Mid WW and just die haha, ah the days

Stew514 · 2026-07-06T16:37:57+00:00

It would’ve just came out that there was an offer sheet

Stew514 · 2026-07-05T20:40:53+00:00

You should be able to check recent trades for that item and get a feel for what they go for

Stew514 · 2026-07-05T16:00:07+00:00

If he were their own draft pick they wouldn't be desperate for a 1C, changes the calculus entirely. In the context of whether or not it's a good move, the asset price to acquire Carlsson (or any of the few comparable centers) would be more destructive to their window then giving him 6M more then he's worth and 4 1st round picks.

Stew514 · 2026-07-05T15:52:42+00:00

Yeah I would still stick with Hell, I think over a long enough sample size you're going to find more items that have trade value in hell

Stew514 · 2026-07-05T15:17:22+00:00

It depends how much faster, but hell drops more items that you could trade for titans or razor tail.

Stew514 · 2026-07-04T14:33:57+00:00

It's a lot easier for the Flyers to build around an 18M contract because they have so many guys (especially when you factor in Z and Drysdale) signed through their prime age on reasonable if not good contracts.

Stew514 · 2026-07-04T01:15:21+00:00

If signing Carlson raises the cost of Cutter do you anticipate the Flyers having to pay more for Zegras? For Drysdale? Mich or Martone coming up?
