Anyone thinking they can fight for a playoff spot next season needs their head examined.

Sother wasn’t even signed or doesn’t appear to be in the plans.

People need to stop with the trading Risto stuff. They have zero interest in moving him. Can see a short term ext next July for few more years ma

How I want to the Flyers to become one of the better teams they will not do or even attempt to do.

How the Flyers want to become one of the better teams will not work. That much is proven.

Big difference in acquiring an upgrade and acquiring a difference maker. An upgrade is putting lipstick on a pig at this time. Keeps you stuck spinning that wheel; which is what the Flyers seek to thrive on.

Complaining about future draft picks? Not following you on that.

What does Ceci do to help the Flyers? Go from 4th worse to 5th worse? Unless you’re overhauling the entire D a guy like him makes little sense. He will want a 3/4 year deal from the Flyers for 5 million or not easily. No thanks at this time.

[furio16]

So what? You presented it like they gave up a 1st for Ceci alone. That is false.

Adding Ceci alone does next to nothing. Probably hurts more than helps as maybe they improve slightly hurting their draft position while no real improvement towards the end goal.

[furio16]

You are leaving out a key detail on that Ceci trade and why a 1st went to San Jose.

[furio16]

I don’t see how. He was a Dallas trade deadline add and played in their Top 4 to the conference finals. Saw some DAL playoff games and he didn’t stand out one way or the other but I wasn’t focusing on him either. They couldn’t handle Edmonton. That’s no disgrace.

Dallas is a superior team compared to the Flyers that’s how. He would get exposed on a bad Flyers team.

Ceci playing 20 + a night on the Flyers would be a disaster.

[furio16]

Guys like Ceci are best served on a contender to solidify their bottom pair. Not playing 20+ on a bottom feeder.

I have zero interest in the Flyers giving up assets then a long term deal to Hague at this time seeing where the Flyers are at currently.

[furio16]

Being a top 4 on the Flyers does not equate to being a top 4 in the league.

Shit 3/4 defenders in the league probably be top 4 on the Flyers.

Codi Ceci is another can see the Flyers pursuing.

MJL can you honestly say you have watched Hague play enough to form an opinion about or you solely going by stats you look up?

[furio16]

That’s my point! If the Flyers do nothing, Andrae is in the lineup in a Top 4 slot this coming opening night. I’m fine with Andrae filling a 5/6 slot for a low cap hit but he can’t fill two slots. He’s only one player.

York – Sanheim
Seeler – JD
Andrae – Zamula

If nothing is added. Which will 100% not be the case. I wonder if there are any 5/6 defenseman on Vancouver the coach may covet and look to acquire.

Will Marchand go for the bag and retirement contract? Or take less for a contender? He has definitely upped his value by a lot.

Flyers wet dream: all of Bennett, Brad, and Elblad at a combined 28-30 million.

[furio16]

Andrae should be in the lineup no doubt in a bottom pair role. He struggled more times than not in his last 25 games after good start. Need to see if he can solve a problem on the cheap.

Will the Flyers show the patience and allow him to lack if a better word learn on the job? Much like Grans the answer is likely no.

They didn’t overpay the coach to allow for that type of plan.

Just think they will have Risto over 5 million. Hague probably over 4. Then Seeler close to 3. Great use of money.
