Dvorak signed 1 yr @ 5.4 million. With the cap rising, I would assume his agent has little interest in lowering that cap with a multi year extension. Considering the lack of center depth in the free agent market, pretty certain Dvorak will be coveted. I agree probably trying to get at minimum a 3 year deal considering his age. This would be an awful decision by the organization unless they trade Cates to improve the roster, which I doubt is going to happen.[/quote]he wants to play for tocchet. you think it is a coincidence he took #22……..
– Whoever is the best skating coach in the NHL or wherever, they need to hire him/she asap to work with MM. whoever the current guy is doesn’t seem to be helping much.
– Flyers in the cat birds seat. They should be the favorite coming out of the east. They have an arsenal of assets to use to make moves to strengthen the team. That doesn’t even include getting a legit top 4 dman in RR back in a week or the likely addition of martone in April.
– What will danny boy do to get the “boys” some extra help that they have earned. Brayden Schenn (NMC) perhaps? A Tyler Myers (NMC)? Brady Skjei (NMC)? Would they go for it with a ROR trade? Stay tuned flyer fans.
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.
4 years for 18-20 million. done deal. book it.
– Will they announce the Dvorak ext in January or wait?
– Clear to anyone except the coach that ND should never play again unless an emergency.
– Imagine playing MM the same number of minutes as Abols and GH.
– Will MM be traded at the deadline or summer?
– Where is hunter macdonald? Man, what a fall from grace. Ginning is no longer in the picture to the surprise of no one.
Here is a list of the dman the flyers have drafted since 2018. Is anyone impressed?
York
Atttard
Millman
Ginning
St Ivany
Wyatt wylie
Andrae
Brian Zanetti
Ty Murhchison
Hunter mac
Bonk
Carter Sotheran
Matteo Mann
Spencer gill
Austin Moline
Carter Amico – playing less than 7 minutes a game. Should have 100% played junior hockey this year.
Luke VlooswykVancouver is a shit franchise like the flyers. So far from contending. If you trade hughes you take the best package regardless of position.
Hughes should get a haul by a competent GM if he is traded by the deadline. 2 playoff runs can easily get a contending team over the hump. If a team is close, they may have no problem overpaying a little. As they should. Good GM’s find a way so the cap shouldn’t be any issue.
Hahaha! The Flyers are playing .611 hockey, VAN is playing .417 hockey WITH one of the 5 best Dmen in the league. How does that happen? I thought only teams with elite, difference-making needle movers could win in the NHL. The teams are nothing alike. You don’t what the best offer is until you’ve seen all the offers.
2 shit franchises. that is 100% fact. get back to me when the flyers win anything of substance.
really? no shit holmes. whatever it is you don’t limit yourself to accepting a dman and center (like you said). if that isn’t the best package.

Sharks have been rebuilding for what, two and a half years? Man they’re loaded with young talent but you need that coveted first overall pick in a draft that has top young center in it. I looked at the top ten in NHL scoring this morning and five of the top ten players are first overall picks, one is second overall and another is third overall. Sharks are gonna be an absolute wagon in a few years once these kids mature and they surround them with a good complimentary group of players.
yeah, but they don’t have the culture the flyers have.
You really can’t make this stuff up. Crest and culture are the way to build a winner. This is the most out of touch franchise in all of sports. Obe that includes the jets, browns, raiders, pirates, and others
The organization just might wanna think about continuing to acquire talent through the draft, that might be more important. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with your coach wanting your players to be proud of the crest they’re representing. I would think every team wants that from their players.
flyers love fans like you. you eat that culture shit up.
after all these years drafting they still can’t ice a good 4th line.

6-foot-5, 225 – enough said. did “jonesy” make this trade?
my how hunter mac has fallen. poor “jonesy”
all of whom are much better player than your beloved risto.
being the legit top 4 dman you believe he is; would the flyers be smart to sell high and trade him if he comes back healthy.
Unless they slump radically, the Flyers won’t be sellers this deadline so it’s moot. Would you include Risto in a package for Quinn Hughes?
Do you see the flyers winning the cup this season or next?
No as the flyers need playoff risto. What a silly ass question.
not sure what being a “top 5” finn dman has to do with the nhl but ok. how many finn dman in the nhl as regulars?
If you’re not sure, maybe posting here is not a good idea. How many, not that many but these guys, like Lindell, Heiskanen, Mikola are great players for playoff teams.

compared to who? define “really” good.
being a top 4 guy on the flyers doesn’t equate to being a legit top 4 guy in the nhl.
cant wait to see playoff beast risto. he was built for the playoffs.
Compared to the other Finnish defensemen who weren’t selected ahead of him for 4 Nations. No more than 5 Finns were considered better for the position than Risto. The Flyers are 11th in GAA without him and he’s still Top 4 here, above both Andrae and Seeler. Feel free to name the teams he’s not a Top 4D on. There are a few. I do note Risto made a nice pairing with Andrae last year. He’ll fit very well in Taco’s system.

top 5 finn dman are hard to find. hope they re-sign him next summer. which would not shock anyone. he fits in with tk ex selke and sanheim.
he is not a top 4 on any legit cup contending team. clearly you think otherwise. Then he should have a lot of value. if this was true, a smart management teams would sell high don’t you think? Imagine having risto for 2 playoff runs. with his playoff experience that should have a lot of value. right below quinn hughes.
go flyers brick by brick.
always about building “culture” with this sad sack franchise. so many flyer fans eat this shit up. wasn’t the culture built with the last coach? they said it was no?
this organization will never ever get it.
you were off for 3 days and you have tired guys? tocchet is a joke of a coach. his past record is all the proof needed. imagine making a below .500 coach the 3rd highest paid.
maybe if you had a competent 4th line to begin with you can lessen the minutes of the top 9. nah why do that. need that culture ND and GH bring.
I guess the hope is when Risto returns he can help solidify the 3rd pair, which is a black hole. Juulsen and Zamula just get exposed way too much. If any of the top 4 miss significant time, the team is in deep trouble. York needs to get back sooner then later. I would hope Briere would take this winger surplus depth to address the blueline. I would assume he will try for Hughes first and is waiting to see how that plays out. I would hope Rutherford resolves the Hughes situation before the Olympic break, bot who knows.
Risto is really good. He’s a Top 4 guy here and for a lot of other teams too. He’ll make a difference. Juulsen had a rough 1st period. An errant pass led to the first goal and his penalty led to the 2nd. I’d be shocked if Hughes gets dealt anywhere this season.
