Is having a 1-2 record and being outplayed and outshot in 2 of the 3 really being effective? brick by brick
The Flyers record 1-1-1. Apparently even being able to count to three is a skill you’ve failed to master.
typical flyers fan. how many losses do they have?
The fact you think this organization is headed towards cup contention (anytime soon) is pure entertainment. Shows how clueless you really are when it comes to the flyers. Typical uneducated flyers fan. Brick by brick. have a blessed day holmes.
When the Flyers have been a relevant contender, the blueline usually was built thru draft picks and savvy trades. I’ll start with ’96-’97 blueline- Desjardins (trade), Therien (draft pick), Niinimaa (draft pick), Svoboda (trade), Dykhuis (trade), Coffey (trade), Samuelsson (free agent signing). ’10-’11 blueline – Kimmo (trade), Coburn (trade), Pronger (trade), Carle (trade), Meszaros (trade), O’Donnell (free agent signing).
There are plenty of lean years with brutal bluelines, no doubt. However, building a top tier blueline can be built thru using all assets available to the GM. It is up to the GM not to over value his talent level found within the organization during his tenure. At the present time even with every Dman healthy currently in the organization, this blueline cannot be built into a top tier level. It is not all bad, but needs upgrades. It will be imperative for Briere to be savvy in the trade market. With the cap rising, the free agent market will have very few difference making options over the next few summers.
You can build your D via trades/free agents to an extent. Still need your inhouse players (quality ones) to be the base. Times have changed drastically since those days.
The key as you said is your GM making savy trades. Knowing when to sell high and who to move while still having value. Not to fall in live with their players/prospects. I have very little faith in the winder twins in this area.
The Flyers need to contain the Scheifele line. They have the tools to do it. I would expect to see one, or even two depending on situation, of Couturier, Cates and Dvorak out there against them at all times. Tocchet is seeming to game plan for individual opponents pretty effectively so far.

You talk about me being on meds after you pos this garbage.
I didn’t write that, you did you fucking idiot. Hahahaha! Your posts are all garbage which I guess is impressive for someone with a double digit IQ.
keep sucking cupcake. i strive to be the poster you are.
Wow 3 games. Let’s plan the parade. They will be a bottom 10 unit come April. Goalies saving them right now, no? The defense stinks. They have got hemmed in 2 out of the 3 games. Outplayed 2 of the 3. outshot. Doesn’t matter who is out injured. They still are not a good unit overall. Hold the fort until what? Risto the legit top pair dman returns? Get the fuck out of here with his crap. 2 best teams, add some context next time.
Back to the Minnesota nonsense. Just say you do not like buium. 10 of the 15 goals the wild scored have been on the PP. seems like a team issue not an isolated 1 player defensive issue; which is what you mean. Take those top 4 on minny any day over the flyers slop you mention and then some.
Seeing how you are infatuated with buium. Buium with 5 pp points in 4 games. Flyers def do not need that type on production when you have Makhughes, I mean JD on D and the jett killing it on the 4th line. Still very very early to compare the jett and buium. See how it plays out by the end of the year. Won’t hold my breath as to who will be a more impactful player. Now and in the future.
There is no negdelphia. Just realist observations and facts. How you can continue to suck the cock of this organization is very noble. Are you an employee? Its ok to not try to defend them every time.
First off, go fuck yourself. Any responsible board would have kicked your mentally ill pussy ass to the curb a lot time ago. What’s with the constant homophobic slurs? Did your dad sodomize you when you were five? Were you disappointed when he stopped? Get back on your meds asshole.
I already said I started watching MIN more closely because of Buium but haven’t mentioned him specifically because MIN is so awful as a team defensively. This is not complicated, even for you.
love when you talk dirty. You seem angry you wet vagina. Keep slurping. Do you keep the change?

Always love how these writers throw the “rebuilding” word in every article. There was and never has been a rebuild. This guy in every paragraph talks about the “rebuild”. Must be on the payroll
Anyway. No, they don’t have the players to fix the defense. Even healthy it is a bottom 10 unit easily. They have no real help anytime soon outside of bonk and who knows how far away before he can help. Any real help will have to come via a trade. Which means you will have to give to get. Danny doesn’t seem inclined yet to do that as he “loves” his team. Who is even available at this stage that can help now and in the future. Then who do the flyers have with value that they will move?
Right now, the flyers have 2 guys they can move forward with on D (maybe 3 if you want to include JD) if they want to contend at some point. The rest are fodder. Maybe Andrae can be a 3rd pair guy. Either way they have a lot to do in terms of addressing and fixing the defense. Then add in Sanheim will continue to age and his play will start to naturally drop. Pretty bleak on the blueline to me. Which tells me they will overpay in free agency for secondary pieces who they will prop up as top end pieces. Like Trouba.
He really didn’t offer any solutions to fix the problem.
The solution is the same solution they’ve used for years… overspend on free agents and kick the can down the road another year or two. And with nothing of quality in the system, it’s pretty much the only path they can take.
What I also like is constantly seeing when Ristolainen is healthy, that seemingly changes everything. At this point in his career, he’s a bottom-pairing defenseman (and that’s only if his body doesn’t have its annual breakdown), yet his name is spoken in such reverent tones, you’d think he was destined for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
the “irreplacable” risto.
Seeing what’s out there and who would want to come to the flyers would it shock any if they re-sign the irreplaceable Risto? Assuming he comes back and plays the year injury free. Probably give Gudas a 5 year contract if he makes it to free agency.

If they’re a bottom 10 unit, why have they gotten Top 10 results in 3 games against the two best teams in the conference? The defense is hardly in crisis. They are in hold the fort mode with two of their top 4 Dmen out injured. Perhaps you’re aware of this. The fort is holding. There are teams out there that literally can’t play defense. The Flyers aren’t one of them, banged up or not. Their 6-9 defensemen (Andrea, Ginning, Juulsen, Zamula) have put up a combined +1 in 3 games against top notch opponents. Minnesota’s top 4 defensemen have put up a combined -16 in 4 games. Can you imagine the reaction in Negadelphia if the Flyers gave up 7 to Columbus in their home opener, blew a 3 goal lead in the 3rd period at home to LA and fell behind 3-0 to Dallas by the first minute of the 2nd Period? Would Minnesota’s defense be in crisis? It’s going to be fun Saturday.

lol. why not take a stance. my 8 as of today would be in no order.

capsthough at the end of the day 2 of those may miss. isle getting bad goaltending. will that change?
Those are the 8 teams that made it last year. That’s not much of a stance. Of the non-locks, I’d say NJ, then MTL then OTT have the best chances to get back in. OTT ran a crazy late season hot streak to make it last year. That will be tough to repeat so they can’t fall behind like they did in 24-25. Can the Flyers finish with more points than those 3 teams plus every other non-lock? They can.
it is a stance. I provided a list. unlike you who wont. pick your 8
brick by brick. all those other teams can also finish with more points than the flyers no?
is your prediction the flyers make the playoffs? yes or no?
Too early to tell. Early signs are encouraging. BUF and NYI look like trash. I’d say, right now, they’re three of nine teams with a shot at the three available spots, so that’s approximately 33.3333333% chance.

The majority of experts think that, if anything, moneypuck is too optimistic in it’s team point totals. They understand that this is a deeply flawed team.
The experts? Perhaps thinking for yourself is worth a try.

Looks close to right for now considering the Flyers are one of 11 teams competing for 3 available playoff spots with five playoff locks, CAR, FLA, TB, WSH and TOR in the conference. Probably about 27%. Keep hoping for the worst and then alibiing when it doesn’t happen.
no need to hope. it will happen all on its own.getting a response only 3 games in from you was very predictable.
