Black Francis is trying to pull the same nonsense he did on the other site and is going to act like nobody has figured it out. LOL
If you think Hague is a top 4 for a lot, or most teams in the league. Then either you don’t know Hague or hockey very well. He is poor defensively and not good offensively. What would better goaltending and a top 4 defenseman do for the Flyers? Put them back in the playoff bubble? Whoopee! They need top draft picks to try and acquire elite talent. They need to tank. Anything else is just more of the same Flyers nonsense leading to nowhere and the inevitable cycle that they’ve been in for about 15 years now.
It is crystal clear the Flyers will not and are not going to “tank”. To talk about it is fruitless. They will try to make moves to get better. Time to add per the putz GM. Time to focus on what they will do.
My guess is you have seen Hague play at best a few times and really have no idea who he is just basing in on others opinions.
you just couldn’t resist, could you? You simply can’t help yourself…
@Bill Meltzer can you do something about these alts that are being created? We know who is doing it…..

seriously dude, leave me out of this.

Exactly. They have gaping holes, need upgrades all around and have no surplus aside from draft picks. What should they do? What will they do?
What should do is the opposite on what the will do. It really is a franchise that lacks any real plan or long term blueprint to being a successful team.
This 3 headed monster is now in their 3rd off season. Can one honestly say there has been a lot of progress?
Let’s see what the next 5 weeks bring. I myself have very very little faith.

The Flyers are light years behind the teams that made the conference finals. That’s just reality. If they shore up the defensive game with a couple of shrewd acquisitions and keep drafting and developing their offense, I think they COULD be fun to watch this year and stay competitive deep into the season. The league, as a whole, is not that great top to bottom. There is opportunity for improvement.
Flyer Frank they were the 4th worse team so they should improve by default. Really doesn’t mean much.
Their drafting leaves a lot to be desired. Then looking at development also not anything to hang your hat on.
The path the Flyers have chosen is a path that will continue to flutter and induce many more years of pain for Flyers fans.
Forget the talent for a second. Look at the Flyers team/organizational philosophy. Do you or anyone believe that will lead to success?

All of sports is based on wishful thinking. I’m cynical enough to think “believe” should be a very high bar but with a couple shrewd moves, I think this team can improve noticeably this season. Noticeable enough to be pretty entertaining.

I don’t see it. This management team has shown me next to nothing to give them any leadway.

The top teams in the conference scooped up a lot of points this season. Two teams only needed 91 points to get to the playoffs. That may not hold this year, but if the Flyers can patch together another 10 wins over 82 games, they should make it. Of course, they need to fill the two main holes I’ve talked about endlessly here to do that. I do think that is possible.

Do you think other teams will improve or just the Flyers?

Some will and some will regress. That’s hockey. The Flyers were, by far, the worst team in the league in save percentage. It wasn’t even close. It’s imperative at least THAT gets a lot better this year. A goalie who can stop pucks and a Top 4 Dman will help that a lot. There are guys who can do that who are available and are plug and play, no waiting for development.
