Laughton 9:43 ice time, I guess back in the doghouse.

Full credit to TK continuing to carry the offensive load. If TK, Michkov, or Couts not playing well- offense really struggles.

Yea but so many on here think we should trade him and get a decent return as if other teams are really clamoring for a typical 30 year old 3rd/4th liner.

They are. Adam Henrique got a 1st round pick. No reason Laughton couldnt get a late 1st either. Contenders dont value 1st round picks. The value for them isnt there that late. They are better off getting a known quantity. Players arent Computers either. They dont play at one level all the time. They do struggle at times as Laughton is right now. Oyher teams do value him. It is just the Flyers who have to decide to move him.

I hope you are right! I have always liked Laughton but just don't see us getting much for him at this point. I'd love to get a late 1st but figure at this stage of his career, it would be a 2nd rounder. The Flyers would probably value him worth more than a 2nd rounder and not let him go.

Someone is getting fired in Nashville after brining in all the high priced talent. They’re last overall. Yikes.

what a gutsy performance by those philadelphia flyers. they are battling and want that last playoff spot. would not want to be the team that has to play them come playoff time. they may be one of the hardest 8th seed outs in recent history.

will the GM add to the team to help the boys in the room out? have they earned that commitment from Managment?

I would be surprised and upset if they added(Rental). All I can see is them adding a EJ type depth guy for a 4th or lower. Flyers still may elect to sell as they did last season. Anyone worth moving has term so it is unknown wether moving someone will be an option due to cap contraints for other teams. Not sure if we want cap dumps at this point either.

they didn't sell last deadline. they moved a free agent to be who they tried to keep.

If the Flyers are truly rebuilding, they know these three 1st round picks they have are worthless unless they are in the top 10. They must trade Laughton and Risto at a minimum, and maybe Frost also if he can stay in the lineup. Open up spots, save cap and finish in the bottom 10.

they are not truly rebuilding. they are rebuilding the flyers way.

they do? yet they have been touting the 2025 draft as franchise altering. there was never a chance the oiler or avs would be top 10.

Flyers culture. Just win, baby. The boys deserve it after putting in the work. Especially guys like Laughts and Cootsy wootsy. They deserve a chance at a title and some playoff hockey.

Can't move Frost now. He is playing better and helping the team win. Wouldn't be fair to the room.

Also can't move Risto. He is playing better and helping the team win. Wouldn't be fair to the room.

Can't move Laughton. He isn't playing well at all and we value our guys. Not gonna sell low here. Also The Room still brings it in the room.

Can't move Poehling. He isn't playing well and we value our guys. Not gonna sell low here.

Can't move Hathaway. He still sucks but we value our guys. Not gonna sell low here.

The Flyers are going to do what they always do. They'll see themselves in the playoff chase. They don't know how to rebuild or they're unwilling to. Let's face reality, as Flyers fans, we are doomed. This organization will never change and unless they get lucky numerous times, as they did with Michkov. They will never be more than just an average playoff team.

Happy Thanksgiving

Only saw the last 5 minutes and the overtime last night, but I guess that was the best part! Only one point out of that magical playoff spot on Turkey Day! I'd say Happy Thanksgiving, but I realize most folks on here are always miserable after a Flyers win, so I will say Happy Thanksgiving to those that actually enjoy a Flyers win! Oh, and Happy belated Thanksgiving to the Canadians on here! Eh what?

No poutine? Ours is pretty standard too. Sort of a pot luck. My sisters and wife have it all figured out. I just move furniture and stuff my face.

Rags fans currently losing their minds. I hope the Flyguys can saddle them with another "L" on black Friday! Flyguys would be tied with the Rags if they could pull off a regulation win somehow, but it seems that they always suck in these black Friday affairs.

The hockey comment was not a Thanksgiving message.

The "Happy Thanksgiving" part was the Thanksgiving message.
