Its not hate or even dislike, he is what he is, and the Flyers need better to move forward. Frost won't get the Flyers much at the deadline but the Flyers need to move on from him.
- jd250

Not you. Torts. Frost is one of our better shootout guys.

Flyers 30 seconds away from getting at least 4 out of 6 points on this road trip. Like I said before the trip started, you can't count this group out. This was a successful trip.

Ya, your proabably right. I think we just have to accept that Farabee is going to be a 15-20 goal player, and having this in the middle 6 is not the worst thing in the world.
- jd250

Yea, the team has much bigger issues than Farabee

Deslauriers 5:47 of icetime. Looks like he is benched the whole third period like last game. So the flyers is chasing a game with 11 forwards. Utterly stupid from Torts

Hockey Night in Canada showed a slow reply of the puck that might have went out of play tonight in Florida. It looks like it may have. It bounced off the top of the glasses.

Goaltender Fabbro from the preds on waivers.

- THE EVIL WITHIN

Basically 3 lines, Frost barely saw the ice. Torts is just a joke, play the kids, this team is going nowhere. Torts is bad for trade value.

He plays well, but he is not a top 6 forward, and for $5M per the Flyers need more and they are not going to get it from him.

5 mil is more than fair for farabee

IDK, when you get up to $5M area, I need more than a player that can only knock in rebounds when he feels like getting to the dirty areas.

I think Farabee is a piece that can be traded to hopefully get something. There will be risk in trading Farabee, but with re signing TK and Tippett-wing depth still pretty high- have to improve the roster somehow.

Oh is he? My bad

Late to the party, I realize, but I just wanted to wish Bill Meltzer all the best in his future endeavors. His writing, by itself, was a good enough reason to keep up with the Flyers, through thick and thin (mostly thin recently). I do not envy whoever attempts to fill his shoes - I certainly cannot think of anyone else who has the extensive knowledge base, fair/optimistic personality, and damn good writing style.

That COL 1st might land in the high teens. Their team D is not that great.

If MM is smart he will watch how the Panthers play if he wants to learn anything.
- furio16

If he’s smart he demands a trade or heads back to Russia. Torts needs to go. He has nothing left.

He was signed early and paid on his potential. I agree he is frustrating as hell a lot of the time but he is a good player.

I could see him being traded and getting a decent return.

the Flyers just don't get any puck luck, especially Tippet
- jd250

Puck luck? Perhaps its lack of talent or bad coaching. I refused to watch the game after the coach scratched MM39. He’s not a good coach. Period. Players would be much better with a coach who would accentuate their abilities.

Zegras publically stating not happy playing LW, this is exactly the type of player Briere needs to acquire. Has not played well in a couple of years, making more money then he is producing, and hopefully moving back to center and a change of scenery gets him going.

Im not a huge fan of adding Zegras. Unless ANH plans on giving him away Id rather not. He is at best a #2C which may not even be needed. If we suck and land Hagens he seems like someone that goes straight to the NHL and with Luchenko likely on the team as well the top 3 C spots are taken

If the Flyers dont appear to be in the mix then maybe you can consider it though the cost wouldnt make sense for the Flyers IMO. They should just continue to build through the draft.

Not you. Torts. Frost is one of our better shootout guys.
- roenick97

Thats really all he is contributing right now. Hes not playing well. Quite disappointing for a guy we really needed to take a step forward. Unless something changes soon, I think this is his final season here. Hopefully we can get Hagens.

Hi Bill.

Really liking andrae as well. Small guy but confident and good skill. Seems to thinks the game well and fast. I trust him way more than drysdale

Agree off to a bad start but Torts doing what Torts does, under 10 minutes of ice time, Frost needs to go, let him play his way through the season, maybe he will be worth a bag of pucks. Torts when from not playing him to barely playing him, on a team that is going nowhere, with other playing who struggled just as much, some are allowed to keep playing

Zegras is not a fit for this coach. Would be a bad acquisition.
- furio16

Neither is MM….F the coach.

Maybe it’s torts we have to move on from? A lot of these young players have stagnated under his watch.

If they actually view this as a rebuild, the development of the young core should be the focus….but you don’t see much growth…..and you get platitudes from the coach to justify his ineptitude…it was the same thing under the Hextall regime….we watched failure after failure and were told we were the problem….we aren’t patient enough. Now with DB we get the same rhetoric. It’s like by saying they are in a rebuild they are given a five year window with no parameters along the way to judge their stupidity.
The organization is a laughing stock. The face of the franchise is a has been coach who appears to have Briere’s balls in his back pocket. All the while the youth, with whom we are told will be allowed to make mistakes sit and watch….first these Morons sat an 18 yr old in the press box for a week….now the only kid within a shadow of having elite skill in the entire organization gets to watch while the face of the franchise trots out guys like Delaurier for 5 minutes a night….

Hands down the Jack Adams Award winner

If the plan was build thru the draft, why sign TK to an 8 yr deal? Even if by some miracle, Luchanko and even 2 of the 1st rdrs this yea make a major impact, realistically they would be Cup.contenders in 5 yrs. That is very optimistic Luchanko being 23 yrs old. TK is out of his prime. Their plan with building thru draft does not match up with the extensions Briere has handed out. If they do not trade for a Zegras type player (25 or below, underachieving, but shown flashes of being good, not on an ELC) who may come available, then they are really more clueless then I thought. Look at the Cats last night, they acquired Reinhart from BUF. At the time, did anyone believe he would turn into an elite scorer. Nope. BUF thought he was young and underachieving, so they cashed out early. The savvy GMs take advantage of these opportunities.
