@TheShift87 @JameyBaskow I’m firmly in the camp of he will rebound and has star potential. Fewer points in sophomore year vs rookie year makes it a down year. He also just didn’t pass the eye test for long stretches

@TuttyT88 @JameyBaskow Down year? 51 points is a down year? Everyone saying how good of a season Tippett had....he had the same points as Michkov. Michkov didn't have a "down year". 🙄🤦🏻♂️
English
I've been saying this time after time.
If the Flyers want to make a major trade for a position of interest for the Flyers, it will have to include one of Matvei Michkov or Porter Martone

@JameyBaskow What it would take to what? Patrick Sharp. Justin Williams. Please don’t make me go on. If ur getting like Austin Matthews or Quinn Hughes than fine but otherwise I’m all set leering these guys develop.
English
@TuttyT88 I don't want to, trust me. I like both players, but unfortunately that's what it would take

@PierreVLeBrun NHL is going to turn into a version of the NBA if they keep this up. Why the infatuation with playing with your brother? Dont these guys hate and annoy each other like normal siblings?

Hearing that the Florida Panthers are getting close to acquiring Brady Tkachuk from the Ottawa Senators.
I believe Ottawa will get three first-round picks and a second-round pick in the deal if finalized. More to come.

@PHLY_Flyers You correctly say the Ghost trade is the worst in the last 25 years. What is the best trade in last 25 years? (Desjardins:LeClair trade is out of the timeframe as that’s probably the best of all time).

Hey! Tomorrow’s show is a mailbag!
Hit us with some questions, Flyers or otherwise!

@billmeltzer hey Bill do you have a development camp schedule? Specifically looking for Tuesday 6/30. Thanks.
English
@charlieo_conn Hey Charlie do you have a schedule for Tuesday 6/30? My son and I wanted to head over.
English
Cool thing for Flyers development camp: I heard recently that there's a solid chance that both Denver Barkey and Alex Bump will be participating, despite getting significant NHL time this past season.
English
Wow, Torts didn’t have the balls to switch his goalie? Shocked. Almost like not having the balls to address reporting about a player whom he stripped of an A. Fake tough guy shit. Good job sticking with the only G in NHL history to allow 4+ goals in each of his 1st
5 SCF games.

@a_melendez10 It’s actually disgraceful that no one gave him a 1st place vote. Dude was the singular reason we made the playoffs.

Kinda nice to see that Vladar got two fifth place votes for the Hart.

@charlieo_conn If EDM eats some salary it’s possibly worth the gamble at a bargain price. Congrats on the engagement. Be married 25 years next year and having a solid partner is one of the best decisions you can make. Wish you nothing but happiness.
English
Basically my view. Undeniably a terrible contract (from the moment it was signed!) but it's probably resulted in him being underrated by the general public. He's a good defenseman! Just not the great one he was paid to be.
JFresh@JFreshHockey
I think Nurse has actually been pretty underrated since he signed his contract. Generally speaking he's played second-pair calibre hockey in the past 5 years. He's got weaknesses for sure and admittedly has struggled a lot in the postseason but he could probably be fine somewhere

@SuitableAlias 3 teams 2 of which have no state income tax. Bettmans inability to deal with tha issue is your only legit gripe.

I'm not the first person to say this, but it's plainly unacceptable for PHI that Larkin said no to them.
Your whole plan was to make PHI a premiere destination. You said Tocchet was going to accomplish that.
You failed unequivocally.
TLY@TheLibertyYell
Centers left on this list after Larkin saying no to PHI are: Vincent Trocheck (M-NTC) - $5.63m for 3 more years Robert Thomas (NTC) - $8.13m for 5 more years Shane Wright - $887k , RFA next summer Mason McTavish - $7.0m for 5 more years Jesperi Kotkaniemi (M-NTC) - $4.2m for 4 more years Morgan Frost - lol Elias Pettersson (NMC) - $11.60m for 6 more years

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to Florida. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?
English
Carolina vs Vegas. I got Carolina in 6 games. Who ya got, gang?
English
@billmeltzer @JameyBaskow His contract was far from an albatross especially when you consider he had 2 years at $4.5 left and the very next year we signed Tony D to 2x $5million. Guy was hurt here snd rebounded and put up 50 points in Az. It was essentially malfeasance in every way.
English
Happy for Ghost. But the reasons were straightforward.
1) Flyers were in a dire cap crunch
2) Ghost was waived and unclaimed
3) Flyers then left him exposed to exposed to expansion draft and he was unclaimed
As last resort, the Flyers had to pay to unload the contract by way of added assets and no return.
English
I'm happy that Ghost gets a shot at the Cup
I'm still baffled that Chuck Fletcher traded him and picks for nothing in return.
It's the return that was mind blowing, but one thing that Ghost could help the Flyers with right now is being a PP QB
#Flyers
English
@charlieo_conn I can’t thank you enough for being rational and intelligent. It’s why I listen to and read all of your content. Imagine the Flyers power play with Ghost? Then imagine essentially trading him and a couple good picks for Tony D? Fletcher was so out of his depth.
English
Happy for Shayne Gostisbehere, to be sure. Found a team that valued him for what he was and deployed him in his ideal role rather than constantly grumble about what he wasn't.
English
@annikadevils @NJDevils Sports hatred gets set aside today. As a Flyers fan I despised him, the highest compliment you can give a player on the opposing team. It is a great suggestion and may he rest in peace and his family and friends find comfort in their memories.
English
I think the @njdevils need to add Claude Lemieux to the Ring of Honor this year. Use the night to celebrate his legacy and highlight mental illness awareness and suicide prevention.
Two cups and a Conn Smythe. He deserves to be there and maybe it could help others who suffer in silence.
English
Full disclosure. My daughter Deanna was an assistant editor/production assistant on the film. So proud of her! But it really is truly a beautifully put together story of that incredible game and the aura of the Broad Street Bullies!
English
@charlieo_conn Man I smiled when I saw him the other night with the torch for probably the first time ever upon seeing him because he was such a villain but he was the original playoff player. May his family find comfort in their memories. Please call someone if you feel alone or hopeless.
English
Oh god. RIP Claude Lemieux. You truly never know what another person is going through.
Cory Lavalette@corylav
The Athletic reporting that Lemieux apparently died by suicide in Florida.
