-christian dvorak 5x5
-not trading risto

THESE are decisions that in 5 years will be seen as why the team is still a joke.
just abhorrent asset management from Briere and Co.

Daniel Briere and Keith Jones have both alluded in the past few days that fans are impatient and want to win “next year”…emphasizing that these things don’t happen overnight.
This couldn’t be further from the truth...most fans on here are just rightfully questioning where the 1C and 1D are coming from. We know these things don’t happen overnight. We’d be more than happy to suffer long-term because the franchise hasn’t made the 2nd round with fans in attendance for 14 years. But they’re doing another retool and never rebuilt. Our only top five pick (Chuck’s pick) is in Anaheim.
The organization thought they would make the playoffs this year (still a 5.4% chance). Now we’re most likely drafting in the mushy middle again. The cap space cleared means nothing if there’s no free agents available to move the needle.
Briere can still pull off trades to make this happen, but we all know “trades are hard” and there’s quite a few teams with better assets to pick from. They jumped the gun on a few extensions and didn’t draft high enough. Now we’re stuck in this boat again.
I’m sure Martone and Michkov will be electric #Flyers long-term, but winger is the least valuable position and it’s our only surplus.
Could the Flyers make the playoffs a couple of times in the next few years? Maybe, I guess. Is there a perennial contender forming here? Extremely unlikely…they weren’t bad enough.

Flyers President of Hockey Operations Keith Jones on if he is happy with the state of the rebuild for the Flyers: “I do, I think we all would love to rush it and make it happen quicker, but that’s not the way it is and the environment we’re in today. One of the things that we’re really happy about, is we are alleviating a lot of the cap pressure that we have had in the past. A lot of the deals that we had to work out of including the Kevin Hayes deal, the Ryan Ellis deal, the Cam Atkinson deal, all that money is starting to come off the books. That I’m really excited about, and that was one of the objectives Danny [Briere] and I had when we took over, was to clean up the [bad contracts]… The other part of it was to add younger talent and to accumulate draft picks, and we’re starting to put those picks into play. Allowing the players enough time to fully develop, not to rush them, but to watch them grow, and hope that our assessment of where they will end up in the future align and they’ll end up being a big parts of the franchise as we move forward. Those things I think are all in a really good place and I’m really excited about the future". (Kincade & Salciunas) 📸 - Emilee Chinn/Getty Images

Chuck. Fletchers. Protege.

Danny Briere on holding onto Rasmus Ristolainen past the NHL Trade Deadline “You guys made a big story… made it sound like we were dumping Risto for next to nothing.” “I wasn’t trying to get rid of him. I think the media turned it into a little bit of a circus to be honest.”

I waited a day to listen to Brieres presser. I dont know. I agreed with a couple things but the rest were concerning. Get the sense that hes never going to be in aggressive mode. I disagree with the "we have alot of assets and good young players" .

I would say this entire management team needs to be fired but comcast would just hire another terrible staff. the bottom line is The Philadelphia Flyers will not be good until Comcast sells to a buyer who actually wants to win. it’s gonna be a really really long wait.

I'm told the #Flyers are not moving Rasmus Ristolainen. They did not get their price.

The question for Briere is: “Why are you happy with this team right now?”
That’s what his actions show. He likes this team and direction.

@jordiebarstool We should have known when Briere learnt everything from Chuck “trades are hard” Fletcher. #flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers are a directionless hockey team and every single person involved with running this team is too chicken shit to do anything about it.
We fooled ourselves into thinking Danny Briere and Keith Jones could be any different. They don't care

@B_Sommermann @Nate1028Alt I stand corrected, those are weird conditions, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a scenario where a team picks who they would give a pick to.

The more the Maple Leafs lose, the more Flyers fans should keep track. BOS owns TOR 26 1st, if in Top5, pushes to 27. PHI owns TOR 27 1st (11-32), if 26 pick is pushed & 27 1st is in Top10, TOR chooses who gets 27 1st. Have a feeling TOR wont pick BOS. #LetsGoFlyers

2 regulation wins in the last 18 games for the Maple Leafs. Now that's a stat.

@FlyersAnt My biggest worry when Briere was Hired was he spent all of his time learning from Chuck “trades are hard” Fletcher. I think we’re all starting to see the results of that… or lack of results in this case

Danny: Players will dictate the rebuild
Konecny: Danny, can you help us?
Dyl, Not Dill@dyl_notdill
@FlyersAnt Tbf the FO has said “the players dictate the rebuild” and here you have arguably THE player telling them “do something god dammit”

Nurse, Jarry, Frederic, & Mangiapane cost the Oilers $22.375M a year.
Read that again.

The same people hating on Wayne Gretzky are the same morons who hated Don Cherry. They just hate great Canadians who won’t say exactly what they want to hear. Guy had 2800 fucking points did more for hockey in Canada than 99.99999% of people alive.

Wayne Gretzky on CBC: “I’m a hockey player. I’m a Canadian, a true Canadian. I want Canada 🇨🇦 to win a gold medal. I’ve never wavered from that. I’ve been friends with prime minsters and presidents. Somehow there’s been a little bit more tension than normal. At the end of the day, Canada and the US are like brothers and sisters, they’re gonna fight and argue but eventually they’ll come together. That’s the way I see it.”

Torts preached culture. Tocchet preaches culture. The Flyers have lost 10 of their last 12 games. You know what I'd like to see? Talent. How about a little high-end, elite upside talent? How about maximizing the talent the team has?
But yeah. Culture. Cool. #HockeyPurgatory
