the dream to get thrashed by Tampa in the 1st round. making the playoffs is usually good but this has no chance against Tampa. probably a 4 game sweep. hope this management team doesn't get fooled by this team playing well at the end of the year. this seems to happen every year with this franchise then they think they are closer than they really are.

I dont think Fletcher is fooled. But yes, I'd much rather see 4 or 5 games of playoff hockey and they usually play TB tough. Both teams have identical records since the middle of January. Watching some playoff games would be much more enjoyable than another mid round draft pick. They have enough good prospects developing already.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.

This barely made a ripple in the Philly sports landscape
Yep. Flyers are almost completely off the Philly sports landscape. They have become irrelevant since this "rebuild/retool" Comcast knows this from declining revenue and irate season ticket holders combined with the audacity to raise ticket prices next season. Many long tome season ticket holders from the 70's and 80s cant afford tickets that have been in their households for decades. Flyers have tons of prospect/upcoming players but they need players now that are gonna take them to the next step. Time to use some of these assets to help the youth. They just threw huge money at a head coach. I expect to see more vet pieces added this summer. They need something to get some media attention back on to them

yes because what this team needs is more middling veterans. Sign a goal scorer but Farabee and Frost need to be in the lineup next year.

you can't hold people from almost a century ago to the standards of today. standards change and grow with each generation. i'm sure in 50 years people then will wonder what we are thinking today (they will probably question most rap lyrics)

That's really interesting about the rap lyrics part, never thought of that and it's a good point. It's unfair of me to speak to the Flyers' tradition part, but I live in Charlottesville, VA, and I hear the same "you can't judge them" argument about Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee, two guys I will definitely judge. As an outsider I was shocked by that article; not trying to say that is right or wrong, just that I understand if the organization would want to distance themselves from her.

Solid trade imo. This also tells me Ghost is gone.
and they traded for a 2nd veteran defensemen. definitely another big move coming. i don't like the idea of trading one of the young d-men though unless you are getting a stud forward back. we shall see.
I admit i don't follow Hockey like i did, but how can the Flyers pass on the best Goal scorer in the Draft(from what i read), in Paul Caufield? I do watch the World JR. Championships and i could tell he was a Natural goal scorer. Then i heard the announcers say he scored 72 Goals last year. The D-Man (Cam York) they took also played for Team USA in this pass WC and he is good, but do the Flyers need D over a potential consistent goal scorer like Caufield? Maybe the Flyers passed because of his size?( 5' 7" 157 LB.s)
Thoughts from those who follow the Flyers on a consistent basis.

Typical flyers move. Let’s pass up s goal scorer because he’s small.

Im not sure about Caufield. He is still a very risky pick and very 1-dimensional. Lots of teams chose to punt on him.
Everyone points to Debrincat, but he has a level of nastiness that keeps him going and preserves space. Same with Domi.
Kaliyev is also too risky to take at 12 or 14. He doesnt do any particular thing well, and a huge % of his goals came on the PP. The criticism on him is he scores many of his goals finding the empty space and taking advantage. Those spaces don't typically exist once he leaves amateurs. Also seems to lack intensity.
I think if I were in the FLyers' spot there, I would have been most happy with Krebs, even though I would have to watch my team's 1st round draft choice limp up, barely able to get on the stage.

Kaliyev taken by Kings at 33. Stoked to see him fall there. I liked hearing the team's comments about those "compete" questions.
Turcotte at 5 and Bjornfot at 22. Both look to be very good prospects.
Hate to see your team w/3 picks in the top 33 but it is typically needed when that lines up.
Reading on the FLyers' picks, it appears they felt they could not pass on York.
The shooter they picked in the 2nd round is not a big guy so I don't think the pass on Caulfield was due to him being smaller.
If the Flyers are going after goalies just get him
