Completely agree with you. If Demidov was a C or Lindstrom had no injury history and had been dominant all year, then I’d have no issues with moving to 4. But that’s not the case.

Yeah, just stay away from the guy with back issues. If other teams are passing on him that tells you everything you need to know about his medicals.

I wanna get a Flyers jersey #34 with the last name Felonies on it

You don’t have to be for the other guy but still supporting Trump at this point is insanity. That’s my 2 cents.

Voting for a guy who cant put 2 words together or complete a thought is insanity. Dont like anything about Biden but I actually felt sorry for him last night. This election is about which guy is worse Biden/Harris is as bad as a ticket gets

I wouldn’t complain with him. They’ll need to sign a Center to sign for 2 or 3 years as a bridge til they can draft another one next year but that might not be the worst thing to have Michkov play with a vet for a bit.

Vote for the administration not the guy I guess. I think both parties are in a position where they should be saying that.

Problem is the right offers nothing to anyone besides their base and that is ultimately going to cost them undecided voters.

Back to hockey.

Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but I find it suspicious that Lindstrom has been linked to Columbus for months through mocks and other reports....now they are open to trading #4.

They could just select another player, but they also may not want to take the risk either, save face for not selecting him by trading down and getting assets.

Just wait until they try to start shelling out Newsom to the dullard sheep...they will eat it up.

So Atkinson is out…good deal. He appeared cooked and they should be offering as much playing time and roster space to their younger guys anyhow.

They could’ve just waived him and avoided the cap penalty. This was done a favor to him.

DiMarco saying the CLB deal is dead. Fun while it lasted. Hope for Catton, Helenius, or Parekh now

Excellent and well explained. Culture is a misused term and is overrated. Simply get the right mix of skill and talent and the culture will build itself. Flyers use buzzwords like culture as a marketing ploy to suck in gullible fans.

Seeing from Tort’s favorite source Anthony. SanFilippo, that Carolina has a deal with Columbus.

That’s a plus I thought they wanted way too much. There are always other opportunities. When window closes another opens.

I don’t like the Cam Atkinson buyout but…if you sign TK on top of dead cap space, I think I’m even more upset. Wouldn’t this be the perfect time to deal TK?

He was a good trooper I guess. Gives him a chance to find another job in the nhl instead of fading away on the phantoms. With how close we are to the cap limit every year I can’t rationalize it. Especially when free cap space is like gold at the deadline.

I’d like to see a reporter with a spine really push him to be honest about it because there literally is no good explaination but the Flyers press is largely bought and paid for.

Waiving him means they would’ve had no cap hit at all, either this year or next? That doesn’t sound right.

Yes. Sadly he had nothing left this year. Buyout is fine.

As for the next election, Trudeau is gone thank the stars.

I think the Flyers did the right thing in buying out Cam. I don't like that more dead money is on the cap this year and next, but the Flyers did the right thing to get a little cap space this year and also do right by the player. Keeping Cam on the team and not playing him or playing him in a limited role would be bad for the team and just create a disgruntled player. The Flyers tried to trade Cam and he would not accept a trade, so I don't think the Flyers have much choice.

As far as TK goes, if the Flyers do not extend him this off season, I think that would mean the two sides are far apart on an extension and the Flyers will trade TK at the deadline next year, which I think would be the best time to trade him.
