you are an embarrassment. zero chance it happens unless TK asks for it.

Even if they did end up trading Tk before the NTC kicks in it’s a ridiculous excuse. They’re just kicking the can further down the road. They needed the picks they’d get from dealing him in this and next year’s drafts, not 2027/2028.

The TK signing will never be justified. It encapsulates everything wrong with the front office.

not even a ppg player. I am sure that will change when the new contract kicks in

Not without a hell of a good center, which Briere couldn’t even be bothered to move up in last years draft for.

disagree as he was waived and could have had him for free. makes it look worse to me.
- hello it's me 2050

Both opinions are correct. It is both bad optics that they traded for someone they could have had for free (very Fletcher-esque), and the Flyers though it would improve the optics, as they probably never realized he was on waivers

Re-signing TK is doing as little as possible. That is the definition of looking like you arent tanking. Keeping the skilled player on your roster to play with your young players. Even now, it still not guaranteed he isnt traded until July 1st.

Im not sure why you bring up Laughton. They should have moved him earlier but ended up getting a better return than what was rumored earlier.

I disagree that they got a better return now. They added a few picks and retained salary to get a first and a middling prospect. They would've received that same return for Laughton a year or two ago in my opinion. How did his stock improve over the last two years?

If they trade TK before July 1 I would actually be pleased. Better late than never I guess.

Intelligent alien life outside of Earth will be confirmed before TK wears a different sweater.

Abols leading the 4th line with 6 shifts. I guess Torts is still in playoff mode shorting the bench to try and get the win.

Extremely good goaltending and still came away empty. I know it is not fun to watch, but the regulation losses remain the priority.

4 games in 6 days to end the season. There will be a couple of more good goaltending games to survive. 13 games to go. Last 13 games last season- 3-7-3.

Travis Konecny has five goals in 30 games in 2025.

And then reach on a player that should be drafted 27th overall.

Comcast needs to wake up at some point and flush the entire group down the drain. If they do that and hire competent hockey people they can turn this around. It is that simple. Now will they ever do that? Right now doesn't seem like it.

They are never ever going to sell as they want the arena. No one will buy unless the arena comes with it. Flyers are a drop in the bucket to comcast.

- hello it's me 2050



What are they front office doing so bad. They flushed out the players that we don't want, they drop the cap and got 6 first rd picks in the next 3 years, and this year have 3 1st and 4 2nds , that's pretty good for a rebuilding team
