Perfect fit equals most money. Of which I do not blame a player at this stage of his career
Where does he fit?
Zegras
Ex selke
CatesBe foolish to keep yo Yoing Cates around to put him back on the wing. You keep Zegras at center all year unless it just goes really south.
Dvorak didn’t come here to be on the 4th line is my guess.
– The only major addition is Zegras. Is the master plan they will hit a grand slam in 2026 free agency?
– Completely capped out. No playoffs for 5 years. Will be 6.
– Would have been better to not sign Dvorak and keep the extra space.
– York ext was good on flyers end. Though can’t see them being contenders within that 5 year window.
– Wonder what kind of extension they will end up giving Zegras and when. I ride it all year as do not see any hurry to go down that road.
Dvorak, on paper, looks like a good add. Enough offense and he can win face offs. He could be a 3rd line center if Cates flips to left wing. Hahahaha! Yes, the one year deal is inflated. They might have been able to get roughly the same for a lot less but Tocchet likes him. For a year, I’m OK with it. It doesn’t matter they’re up against the cap because they have $6-7M in dead space going away next year, which more than covers any Zegras increase and gives them $5.75M plus any cap increase for next year to add more UFAs. Clearly, a big part of any current plan is more comprehensive coaching and development. That isn’t counted against the cap. I still think they needed a big addition on D, but it didn’t happen. We’ll see how it goes.
Dvorak is a meaningless add to me. Doesn’t do anything to move the team forward. Wasn’t needed.
Cap space does matter. Limits what you can do all year. Maybe a player falls out of favor or vice versa. Can use it to be a middle man. Never know when a deal may pop up. Someone unexpected goes on waivers. Limits what you can do at the deadline
While she is hot, who is it?

are you slow?
clearly you’re not giving credit to the flyers when you say “half did it elsewhere”. so I’m extending the same courtesy for other teams. Try to keep up.
so flyers drafting and developing is right up there with the best teams. if that’s your narrative, it is misinformed.
– I am giving them credit otherwise wouldn’t have mentioned half did it elsewhere. Would have only mentioned the ones that did in a flyers uniform.
– using the avs data they are not up there with the best teams. that is flat out false.
– you have comprehension problems. your math is incorrect. yet you call me slow and to try and keep up.
one final question. do you think the flyers are the gold standard?
60+ pt players on the team that drafted them since 1990:
Flyers – 6
Avalanche – 6
Lightning – 6
Penguins – 5
NY Rangers – 4
Red Wings – 3
Blackhawks – 3I count 14 players who the avs drafted, who put up 60 or more points all while playing for the avs. didn’t bother looking at the rest.
nolan, kovelnko, deadmarsh, drury, hejduc, tanguay, statsny, stewart, duchesne , oreiliy, landescog, mckinnon, rattenenwhy did you change the criteria to points just playing for the team that drafted them?
Add Daze for the hawks as well.
you do the research. you are the one who brought it up not me. I just made a simple statement.
speaking of drafting and development. if my math is correct, since 1990 they have drafted 12 fwds who have put up 60+points. half did it elsewhere. All 1st rd picks except for 2. Is that good drfating and development?
try to keep up, old man. your memory is slipping. Come talk to me when you compare it to other teams in the league. Until then, go play some power chords.
again talking about the flyers. you mentioned other teams. not me. onus is on you to do the work.
If you care to do the research you inadvertently make the flyers look like drafting/developing wizards. bravo.
you posed the question – now you do the work like I did. I assume that’s why you disappeared for 2 days lol
yes disappeared. glad your keeping track.
you do the research. you are the one who brought it up not me. I just made a simple statement.
all you poppy then yo can tell us how good the flyers have been. despite the results saying otherwsie
lol you won’t like the answer because you’ll look foolish – as per usual.
that’s it. you are good you. though I get it they have employed the tidy bowl man for a decades.
either bring in players who can possibly help with the future (zegras) or stand pat. what do I know as I am clueless
low commitment, vanilla insurance policy signings. no one is holding anyone back. every team does this and it’s sad this needs to be explained to you.
do not care what other teams do.
what insurance policy? yet you call me clueless.
answer this for me, why not just roll with what you have inhouse if these are such vanilla signings? what is the actual benefit?
what’s the flyers goal after yesterday? what is the plan? they sign guys who will really not improve the team. they are still going to be bad. why not then just evaluate what you have in-house. keep the cap space to for down the line to see if any deals pop up or to broker a deal to get additional assets/players back.
just more spinning in the hamster wheel.
Tocc got a couple of former players he likes and they brought in a warm body in net. That seems like the extent of the plan.

You are so clueless lol
you still need to ice a team. they got warm bodies for 1-2 year deals. Who do they need to evaluate at the nhl level?
I strive to be as in tune as you are, you are a guru. wish I wasn’t clueless like you.
yes they have plenty of bodies to ice a team. there was zero need to bring in the guys they did yesterday. with those additions they are still a lottery bad team.
there is no path for Grans right now. probably Andrea as well. want to move on from zamula fine. Andrae and grans should be in the lineup to start the season. it hurts nothing to give them a long look. What do the 2 dman they signed yesterday offer this team? how can you not want to play those 2 above seeing where the flyers are at currently? their pride and joy hunter Macdonald also has no path.
they sign a guy for 5.4 to be a 4th line center? why? what does it accomplish?
hysterical you calling anyone clueless.

Have to appreciate a franchise that spends to the cap ceiling just to finish last in their division.
they just have to spend. baffling they won’t bank that cap space to utilize down the line

Seems like they are just buying time. Tochett here to work with the youth. UFA just signed for one year. Prospects will need another 2-4 years. After Danny’s presser, seems like they at least won’t go big name hunting for the time being.
buying time for what? not like they have a farm system chock full of high end talent. why not run it back then to give the few younger guys in the system a shot to see what they have? they spend money just to spend money. only positive is yes 1 year deals that wont kill you though to me just doesn’t make much sense where the flyers are at and have been for years.
this big game hunting shit is too funny. most delusional management team I have ever come across.
agree with you that the guys they drafted are 4 years away if they pan out. even then how much contribution can you expect from then out of the gate?
