Andrae should’ve already been in their top 4. He has promise and should be getting plenty of ice time
No he shouldn’t. He should be on the 3rd pair where he belongs to see if he has an NHL future. Andrae didn’t show much after a solid 10 games or so.
Yes getting JD out of top 4 long term should be the plan. Otherwise let him play top 4 minutes see what transpires instead of a 1 year stop gap Duomolin type. That’s all I am saying.
What will happen is they sign him he plays well then gets a 3 year extension. We know how that ends.
Projected lines doesn’t matter as right now the have no room to add anyone. Forward prospects also pretty empty
Let’s say they are all top 4 on the Flyers. Adding them accomplishes what? They go from 4th worse to say 8th? What does that do in the big picture? It stunts the potential growth of players on the roster for no real gain.
As far as feee agency I stay away off the top of my head seeing where they are at. They will need to make a trade to address a top 6 center. Will likely have to overpay which may not be bad as need to see the deal first.
Brier was also part of the mess as he was the assistant GM. He doesn’t get a total pass.
You expect them to do all that this off season? Acquire a top center, Dman and goalie? They’re drafting their elite talent at center with the #6 overall draft pick. It’s unlikely whoever that is will be a #1 center this coming season. Somebody who knows hockey would know that.
This is the 3rd off season this management team has been overlooking. What have they added? They have underwhelmed big time
I’m not looking to move the needle, I’m looking to move Drysdale, Zamula and Andrae down the depth chart and eventually out of Philly. They are not top 4 players who will be here if the flyers ever become contenders.
I don’t see the point in signing fringe guys like you mentioned. Either go out and get quality who will be around for a while or stand pat with what you in house.
Those guys will all want and get multi year deals. I don’t tie myself up for those types. They did that with Seeler and it was dumb.
Can’t wait to see the grand Flyers plan this summer.
Having taken a closer look, Gavrikov, Lindgren, Dumoulin, and maybe Klingberg (injuries) would be Top 4 guys here. That’s what they need. A defensive Dman who can play 20+ minutes. It’s doable.
Maybe Gavrikov can help though he is 29. None of those guys moves the needle in any way. They are not top 4 players who will be here if the flyers ever become contenders
Wouldn’t be shocked to see them acquire Justin Faulk.
No, they also need to acquire elite talent at center. They desperately need a #1 center. When was the last time they did that? So apparently it is complicated for you. No, they don’t have to get to the bubble. That would be the worst thing they could do now. They need to acquire elite talent through the draft. The best way to do that is to draft high. This is not complicated. You do understand that who a player slots behind, doesn’t affect the level of player that he is. Hague is not a top 4 level NHL defenseman. He is poor defensively and offers little offense. He is not a smart move for the Flyers. Develop and play the young kids. This is not complicated
They are not going to put themselves in a position get high picks. You need to accept this fact. What you want them to do will not come to fruition.
What young kids should they be playing as the cubbard is pretty bare. Grans is about the only one at this time.
The Flyers only know one way. The Flyers way; it has produced lots of winning.
The “right” ways has passsd this management team. You do realize they finished 4th overall not by design.
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.
Who do you suggest they pursue in free agency? What about via trade excluded Hague.
how do you decide when to post as furio16 vs yes its me 2050? flip a coin?
weird how he posts all day everyday and then all of a sudden stops – and now you’re here lol
Get back to the board when you have something even remotely productive to add. You offer nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
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?
