Finished last in conf. Facts don’t back that up
The Flyers finished last in the league in 06-07 by 11 points and made the conference finals the next year. That’s not going to happen this year, but I just mention it in passing. In 24-25, MTL improved 15 points and OTT improved 19 points over 23-24.
The Flyers will be significantly better this year. Do you think they’ll be worse? How come?
It would be hard to be worse. I think they will fall short of the playoffs. So somewhere in between 4th worst and 16th worst overall. Still not making the playoffs is not “significantly” better to me. I am not upset that they will not make the playoffs. Just feel like finishing outside of the bottom five does not do much for their long term success.
Michkov-TK
Tippett-Shabanov
FoersterIf Shabanov is as good as they say that is a pretty good group of wings. Should have (4) 20 goalscorers and maybe (2) 30 goalscorers.
I can see the Flyers trading for Marner’s rights and then offering a max contract. My hope is they acquire a young center with the potential to be #1 someday. If that is via trade or in the draft I am fine with it.
Plenty of vet goalies that fit the Flyers needs I would think.
I am fine with letting the D marinate this season. I am sure they will try to upgrade. Just not sure they have the ammo to get a top tier guy.
One top 5 pick to show for five years of suckage. Oh yeah they traded that dude away because he didn’t want to be here. They were lucky to get Michkov. They might literally get another Cootes level player. The odds are so far against getting another Michkov level player doing it the way they are doing it. As always I hope I am wrong.
