What exactly is the injury. Really do not understand all the secrecy. They better hope this isn’t a recurring issue. Very strange injury to begin with in terms of how it happened. Was there a lingering/undetected issue prior to this?
As this season progresses, I hope Briere does not pay Dvorak for a career year. Great job by Dvorak taking advantage of his opportunity this season. His career best is 38 points and he turns 30 in February. Dvorak is going to want a multi year deal for his next contract. It would make zero sense to sign an over 30 year old center to a multi year when there already is an over 30 year old center with multiple years left on his contract. Considering this current team is not a real Cup threat, stocking up on over 30 year old center seems like bad business.
From an alternative perspective, that may not be the best move. There are other factors to consider. The players in the room my then look at this type of move very negatively. Sends a bad message all over. Guys like TK, Couturier, Sanheim may then ask to be traded (that may not be a bad thing though you don’t want to come about it that way). Do you think that will be a good look for an organization who preaches culture. Could also affect free agents. Flyers already have a tough time in that department. The Flyers goal is to make the playoffs. They will not jeopardize that by looking to sell any parts off unless it is a straight up hockey trade.
He is younger than Jet by a 6 weeks. Don’t see that being a bad thing. Though get what you are saying.
Flyers need potential difference makers over safe players at this time. Whether he is a diff maker who knows. Taking the next 3rd line player won’t help much going forward to me.
They need to hit a home run no matter the pick. That is a fact. Anything less more staying in the same spot they have occupied for years.
Flyers are the next Florida. All the pieces are in place to make it happen. With their excellent management team only a matter of when not if.
How is what I posted propping him up as a superstar?
He is a young vet who may not want a long term deal if he sees no path to contention. In that case he may want a short term deal. Then move on if he doesn’t like what he sees.
They have no one close to supplanting him.
Overall the Flyers D is trash with very little help on the way. Will take years to get a cup contending D. Many years.
