Playoff teams aren't going to covet Laughton like they will Ristolainen?
- MJL

Yes, top 4 RHS physical and skilled defenseman are coveted a lot more than bottom 6 wingers.

I agree but the only issue is that Ristolainen is not a physical and skilled top 4 NHL defenseman. He is a mediocre 3rd pair defenseman with a bad contract. If the Flyers would be willing to retain salary or take a bad contract back, he'll have some value.

Last night's game is a perfect example. Did he barely play in the 3rd period because he was fatigued or because the Flyers had a lead in the game?
- MJL

I believe because we had the lead, but that's why you get him work on his defensive coverages, and by that you can have him out there for more situations.

That be my guess

My problem with that is your not subjecting him to the 3rd period end grime, when a down team puts there best efforts to tieing the game, and I feel that could be a great learning experience

At this point, I don't think they need to retain salary to off load him

And if you need to retain salary then I just hold him till off season or till you able to trade him

Would you hold salary to say for from a 2nd to a first?

Could the #LetsGoFlyers become Trade Deadline buyers?

It's complicated, explains

Sure why not? It is owed to The Room and the hero of the 2012 playoff series against the Pens.

So MM first on the ice today, 10 minutes by himself, love the kids attitude.

Flyers want to make it complicated. It is real simple.

No reason why they can't be both buyers and sellers if the deal presents itself.

They really have no interest in moving certain players. How anyone can think otherwise is mind boggling.

I am guessing that somewhere along the twitter thread that asf posted was something about the ticket prices? Seems like context is missing

New arena money is needed. Playoff revenue is welcomed.

Surprised they haven't raised in 6 years.

If those numbers are true and there was a slight dip this year even after adding Michkov, I don’t see how those numbers get better with a ticket price increase. What will they have to sell next year?

Some interesting players names dropped in there. Laughton is obviously going nowhere but no mention of Frost, Farabee and most surprising Tippett.

What a load of crap that letter was to the STH. The only thing they are building is the same mediocrity we have seen since 2012

Love the window dressing. Just say we are raising the prices. Most can at least respect that, unlike the lies and BS.

This organization is a complete embarrassment

NAK clears waivers.

He skated an extra 10 minutes. It’s not like he’s Jagr doing wind sprints, with a 50lb vest on, for two hours after games.
