I wonder if these clowns even realize they are a laughing stock locally and nationally.
Doubtful as they continue to sell the same bullshit.
Can’t wait to see Danny’s next move. My bad it was calling up “Jones’s” pet.

“I’m a big believer in Sam Ersson. I think that Sam is in a position now, age-wise, and being pushed by the depth at that position that’s there now, is going to benefit him, as well. I think that Sam is going to stand up to the test here this year,” Jones said.
Hilferty added, “I said this to the players the other day, we want to build a culture of sustainable excellence. Not just a shot next year, and it falls off after.”

No matter how bad Ersson does, the Flyers have his back. Michkov, not so much. Ersson get’s as much support from the FO/coaching as Michkov get’s criticism. Hard to believe which one of them might have a future.
Thankfully Hilferty said they want to build a championship culture and not a championship team because he has no clue what the latter looks like. Team with talent talk about their talent, teams with nothing tangible to talk about, talk about culture. They should change their names to the Philadelphia Culture. Because that’s what’s important to them.
Quote from Brière:
The Rebuild is Over” (Sept 2025): Brière indicated that the team is moving into a new phase and that the era of being “sellers” at the trade deadline is over, stating it would be a failure if they were in that position again.
and this one
“But like I said, when you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does… Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way. So depth will be important to us.”
What a great management team the flyer has assembled. there was zero need to sign dvorak when they did. all while his value was at its highest. Guess those wharton classed Danny took dont resonate with him at all.
5 years of another 3rd lie center.
dvorak- cates- ex selke is def a cup contending center group.

But the extension is about more than just keeping a well-liked, productive player at a valuable position in the fold. Dvorak was a pending unrestricted free agent. When he signed a one-year, $5.4 million contract with the Flyers on July 1, there was as much of a chance he would be dealt ahead of this season’s March 6 trade deadline as there was of earning an extension. Considering contending teams are always looking for help down the middle, and those players are difficult to find, Flyers general manager Daniel Briere would have fielded innumerable phone calls had he made Dvorak available to the highest bidder.
That won’t happen now. That Briere decided so quickly that Dvorak was worthy of a deal that is probably too long for a player of Dvorak’s caliber is a clear signal the pivot toward trying to win is in full swing.
Put another way, it’s now playoffs or bust for the 2025-26 Flyers.
That aged well and points out how screwed the team is with this front office. They could’ve held a 50/50 raffle at a game and probably come up with a better front office. Hell, I’d almost rather have a fan than Tocch at this point as well.
