You have no credibility. Multiple times you have used fallacies and hearsay such as you talked to a coach, or talked to an agent. There is no publicly reported information that Buium told the Flyers to no draft him. If that was the case, it would've leaked out by now. It's worth nothing
- MJL

Agree nothing out there said that buium told Flyers not to draft him.

But having the same agent as cutter, and that agent like to push trade me because I don't want to play for you button a lot. And built a difficult relationship with a few teams do to his negotiations.

If I was a betting man the Flyers didn't want to deal with that headache again

They were drastically outshot, out chanced in both shot attempts and scoring chances and lost 6-0 but you say no way. Their coach called a time out to rip the team because of it. LOL
- MJL

doesn't mean those 3 players he mentioned were not battling, does it?

He got rid 3 of 5 players i wanted, he pick up picks, and from every rumor mill out there that he looking to get more picks come trade deadline, and his patience with not really doing much to make the playoffs, he just letting the course ride out

What I don't like

Is i would have fire the powerplay and goaltending coach, regardless if trots likes it or not. I would look at the medical staff and see if adjustments can be made and upgraded.
- SlNlSTER

He got rid of players the other GM didn’t want. That is real tough GM’ing there. Traded another guy who asked to be moved. A rebuilding team would have kept them for now is how I see it. Especially for Hayes when you see the center spot.

He picked up picks. Something pretty much all GM’s doto an extent. Has he made any real hockey trades to help the NHL roster now and for the future?

He doesn’t have the authority IMO to fire the coaches. He needs the other clown’s approval. For Rocky to still be employed is a downright disgrace. For Danny to sit there and allow the PP to be this bad for years now is on him 100%.

The entire thing is being massively overblown. His entire team for some reason was non-competitive in the game. Then they go out and beat one of the better teams in the league in the Canes and Gauthier scores 2 goals including the game winner in OT. Its simply growing pains of a young player. I understand that Flyers fans are bitter but I think they need to get over it
- MJL

He looked intimidated in my opinion. Maybe that lit a fire in him for the game in Carolina. But the moment in Philly was too big for him and it showed.

He also needs to stop using "me" and "I" so much. He sounds like a bad teammate.

Really how would keeping Hayes be better, the guys a cancer to a lockeroom, most coaches don't like him. Getting rid of him yes made us weak at center but if we are rebuilding then that's ok, not to mention it gives opportunity to other players.

And if he wanted to fire the powerplay and goaltending coach he certainly could.
It's professional to get trots on board. But not needed. Again I would have fired both before season started.

I also thought the provy trade was excellent and what we traded walker for added to the return.

Again a rebuild takes time.

Explain to me what would you have done instead, and how would that be better for a rebuild

What is wrong with you? Are you a Flyers fan? Do you want the team to succeed?

For one to be a fan it does not require constant fallating of everything the triumverate or organization does.

He did look intimidated. He's young and he could've said some things better. Welcome to the world of a 20 year old kid. There is no indication he is a bad teammate in Anaheim. He bounced right back the next game. Growing pains

True, but it also does not require unfairly bashing the current regime because of mistakes of the past regimes.

how did tippets rookie year go? how about his 2nd year?

Cutter was never nor expected to come into the NHL and dominate as a rookie. if he finishes with 30+ points you build off of that. do you know who he plays with the majority of the time?

you rip on posters for hating on Danny yet you do the same with Cutter. Give JD 2 more years to see if he pans out. Meanwhile Cutter isa bust after 45 games.

Quitter deserves to be ripped, for his actions, what he has said and what he has refused to say.

I agree. Just saying it makes him sound like a bad teammate. He needs to attend "Sports Cliches 101".

True, but it also does not require unfairly bashing the current regime because of mistakes of the past regimes.

Call it like I see it. Simple as that. You have nothing other than blind faith. Just like JO, just like Fletcher and everything else you were wrong about.

Haven't you learned it's easier to criticize so a lot of fans take the easy road

More hypocrisy. Gauthier doesn't get a chance. Only the people you favor. It's ridiculously absurd how unaware you are of how you contradict yourself.

The problem is that you're unaware of Briere's statements and what they mean. Both Briere and Jones have come out and said they're going to keep doing what the Flyers have always done. You're just not aware of it.

You just got done assuming Tippett is going to score 15-20 goals in the 2nd half of the season. LOL
- MJL

Gauthier is not a Flyer. I could care less about him. And I certainly don't have to give him a chance. I am ripping him fairly based on his actions, his play and his words.

More complete BS from you! When has Briere and Jones said they are going to keep doing what the Flyers have always done?? What, when they have cap space they will use it? How is that a bad thing? Every other team in the league spends money on their players, that is how its supposed to work. The problem is not spending the cap space, its spending it wisely on the right players. Nothing wrong with this at all, its how you build a team.

I am basing my projection of Tippet on his past performance. He will end up with 25+ goals this year. Not saying there are still no concerns about this play, especially his missing the net so much, but he will end up with about the same number of goals as last year. He just needs to work on things this off season and get better which I think he will. Seems like a good kid and a good teammate.

It’s dams the CG game was like the Stanley Cup for you. It was fun and all but your hatred of the kid is ridiculous.

interesting. don't recall that. not saying your incorrect mind you.

Again, that was/is a rumor and might be false. Regardless, at least Flyers fans have some semblance of hope for the future. MM39 is all he was advertised to be and then some. I really didn’t think he’d be as emotional and competitive as he is. He seems to be one of those guys who loves to win, loves to play at his best, and hates to lose and have bad games more than he loves the good stuff. Now I’m not comparing his talent to Ovechkin, but he seems to have that same rare drive to be the best.

I think when you look at teams like SJ, ANA and CHI you see what a true rebuild looks like. I like Briere and want him to be successful. I just think he has not made any tough decisions at this point. That is stunting the rebuild.

Picking 7-16 every year is not going to get it done in my opinion. I also need to see that they can have cap space and not spend it on long term deals.

Call it like I see it. Simple as that. You have nothing other than blind faith. Just like JO, just like Fletcher and everything else you were wrong about.

I rooted for Hextall. He failed. I rooted for Fletcher and he failed. I was hoping Dave Scott would be the leader Mr. Snider was. He wasn't. In all 3 cases, when things turned south I lost faith in them and called for a change. Was I late compared to some? Yes. But that was because there were many that expected them to fail as soon as they were hired. The jaded, overly verbose minority I like to call them. I am rooting for Hilfert, Jones and Briere to succeed. They seem like good people that love the Flyers and want them to be back on top again. Call me naive for thinking this if you want.

Was Hayes having a career year under the coach? The same coach you and others glorify.

He was not a cancer in any way. It was reported and said many times he was very well liked in the “room”. Torts had it out for him form day 1. Never wanted to make it work. What other players has it given the opportunity to?

Well, it is your opinion he can fire those coaches. Mine is he can’t. If he can what is he waiting for? There is enough info to see they suck balls on the PP. Is it incompetence then? Why keep them?

Ivan trade was fine. One can argue he should have got more back for taking on 2 salary dumps for multiple years.

This is not a rebuild. Really amazed how many people are really fooled by this management team.

Quitter deserves to be ripped, for his actions, what he has said and what he has refused to say.

No. When you look at SJ, ANA and CHI you see what a true TANK looks like. You are confusing tanking for rebuilding. We'll see in a few years where SJ, ANA and CHI are in the standings. We'll see how Bedard, Carlsson and Smith develop.

The agree picking 7-16 every year is not going to get it done. But I also think the Flyers will be picking higher this year, and with all their other picks and more cap space coming off the books, they will be a good position to take more significant steps to build a good team.

True, but it also does not require unfairly bashing the current regime because of mistakes of the past regimes.

Right, so when you say you give people a chance. What you really mean is you give Flyers a chance. I stopped reading your nonsense at that point.

I think Michkov is going to be a really good player but are you aware of how badly he is struggling at 5 on 5?
