Joe West was bad for sure. But Hernandez is on a different level. I actually think the guy needs to be investigated.

Why exactly does the league just turn a blind eye to it ?

100% agree, over 20 years trying the same ole crap, and the end result is always the same. Meanwhile the rest of league transitioned to a speed and puck possession game, and the Flyers still play the dump and chase.

Main problem is recognizing there is an issue, but this franchise has done nothing to realize the change in the game and adjust to it.

On day 1 DB better be calling every GM and offering to use the Elis LTIR for picks and prospects. Possibly make a deal in the process for another 1st round pick this year. 3 would be nice, and we could take 2 dmen and another center. We need to get a 1`or 2 dman out of this draft and there are a few to chose from.

Highly unlikely. The Ellis contract still has 24M left on it. It's too soon. Plus the Flyers are going to need the LTIR space this season.

They’ve created some expectations. The rookies are certainly contributing. I can’t believe the Lions have a run game.

I have an opinion on it, but would rather not say because it will get political. (which is probably enough to know what I am going to say....)

You think you’ve got problems, I’m a bears fan. Watch Montgomery run wild while my bears couldn’t beat a high school team. I expect them to lose to the broncos and go 0 and 17

Hoping to see a real roster tonight that includes Coots and Atkinson. Definitely wanna see Tippett and Foerster as well.

It’s weird watching the Lion have a legit running game.

Angel Hernandez alleged in a legal filing with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that Major League Baseball manipulated its internal umpiring metrics to disadvantage minorities, thereby excluding them from becoming crew chiefs.

you keep saying this, what are you basing it on? They are currently under the cap are they not?

Please share your thought process

Zamula weighing in at 200 pounds, that is a good sign, hope the kid can earn a shot and we get to see what we have.

Not MJL but I will share my thought process.

At some point it is a good bet that they will have more than 1 injury and its a good bet that the callups will put them over the cap without using LTIR.

would imagine. but right now we are 867,000 under the cap. carrying 14 forwards and 3 goalies. so would imagine we will have injuries, but there is some wiggle room to start before dipping into the ltir space. and hopefully DB pulls something off and opens more space.

There is always that. It seems to me that they will have around 2.6 in cap space if they send down Sandstrom, Petersen, and Tanner, while calling up Ersson.

Barring any serious injuries that should be enough. But you never know who will get hurt, and how many will get hurt.
