    Again with the Brink love.

    i get that he is likely the odd man out but I do think rose to the occasion under torts. that brink-cates-foerester line was really good for stretches. he showed more tenacity than I initially thought he was capable of.

    He showed some spark and some skill. He’s an admirable player. He’ll likely get quite a few games in this year yet. It just cracks me up that every time I’ve said the Flyers were going to move away from smallish players like him, even before the draft, I always heard his name brought up as if I had just taken a dump on their kid’s birthday cake.

    a guy like Brink probably wouldn’t be too sad to see the flyers miss out on him though.

    Like a higher quality Brink

    Again with the Brink love.

    How so?

    His name comes up a lot, especially when I post possible future line combinations and don’t include him. He seems to have a lot of fans here. I find it amusing, that’s all. He is an admirable guy though, like I said. Playing and being a .5 PPG guy at his size is quite an accomplishment. But I also see a lot of general dumping on the team at the same time I see the same fans jumping to his defense.

    I don’t see how you consistently omitting him from your lineups when he will clearly be in the lineup barring a trade or injury is people coming to his defense. Most people see it as an omission and nothing more. Especially now that Pelletier is no longer in the equation.

    I still don’t think it’s all that clear. Just like I don’t think it’s clear they won’t flip Cates to wing especially with the Dvorak signing.

    Looks like they’re about done spending money outside of extending York.

    They’ll be slightly better, and maybe even entertaining. Martone is hopefully a nice long term addition who I’m guessing takes a year before entering the NHL. Maybe not.

    I expect them to still be lottery bound.

    After that, they should have a nice young core and be ready to splash some cash around.

    what’s the flyers goal after yesterday? what is the plan? they sign guys who will really not improve the team. they are still going to be bad. why not then just evaluate what you have in-house. keep the cap space to for down the line to see if any deals pop up or to broker a deal to get additional assets/players back.

    just more spinning in the hamster wheel.

    he will be a regular in the lineup on a daily basis. accept it.

    who do you have as their core going forward?

    Have to appreciate a franchise that spends to the cap ceiling just to finish last in their division.

    Seems like they are just buying time. Tochett here to work with the youth. UFA just signed for one year. Prospects will need another 2-4 years. After Danny’s presser, seems like they at least won’t go big name hunting for the time being.

    buying time for what? not like they have a farm system chock full of high end talent. why not run it back then to give the few younger guys in the system a shot to see what they have? they spend money just to spend money. only positive is yes 1 year deals that wont kill you though to me just doesn’t make much sense where the flyers are at and have been for years.

    this big game hunting shit is too funny. most delusional management team I have ever come across.

    agree with you that the guys they drafted are 4 years away if they pan out. even then how much contribution can you expect from then out of the gate?

    they just have to spend. baffling they won’t bank that cap space to utilize down the line

    You are so clueless lol

    you still need to ice a team. they got warm bodies for 1-2 year deals. Who do they need to evaluate at the nhl level?
