Confirmed with Link: Andrew MacDonald on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract

[Ghosts Beer]

I will pal. Been at this for about 25 years. Had 4 stakes winning horses. 1 was a grade 2 and grade 3 winner. Lucy n Ethel.

Thanks, man. Very impressive stuff, especially Lucy N Ethel (I just looked her up). Hope you're getting some broodmare $$$.

This means Hagg is the full time whipping boy on defense.
I hope he can handle the heat by himself.

Its going to be myers. Hagg won't see enough ice. Myers looked really unpolished and rookie mistakes aren't going to be as forgivable. Come January your going to hear he went undrafted for a reason and calls to trade him at the deadline. Be patient and keep faith. Kids that big take time and rarely move like he can.

Unless schlemko plays. That guys an east coast leaguer. I'd take the parade of suck the flyers have had before him over him. Hagg>folin>manning >>friggen okt>schlemko

 

[TCTC]

I think Provorov will be the new whipping boy. I mean, he kind of already is.

 

[Qyburn]

Well bye....

Kudos on not holding anyone's hand to make the Tombstone reference.

What a bad take.

Horses?? what the f?

 

[Foggy14]

Dear god... why can't we have decent writers....



And Meltzer RTs it.

And, of course, Jay and Bill know that the replacement won't be a $5m cap hit and he won't be 33 years old.

They're throwing AMac a bone because he's been a good soldier who didn't complain when he was sent down, but they have to know that his contract extension was a huge mistake for the team.

Horses?? what the f?

I think they thought we bought out weise.

 

[Curufinwe]

If MacDonald was as good as he should have been for that contract they wouldn't have just gone out and traded for Niskanen. Everyone knows it. They are just trying to be kind as he heads out the door.

 

[Curufinwe]

Jay says that, but if we go down to like 10 or 11 deep on or defense because of injuries or something, of course it'll be worse than having MacDonald here. Not worse than MacDonald on a $5M AAV though

There's a bunch of guys on here who would be better options on a one year deal than keeping MacDonald around in case of injuries.

Jeez, I didn't realize Phaneuf was THAT bad last year. That's a whole lot of suck.

 

[Ruck Over]

Hey, I don't blame @Prongo. Trades are the most fun part of sports!

Aside from winning championships, right?




Bye Andrew MacDonald. Your time here has come to a close, fare thee well. We all hope you get another NHL job, preferably in the Metro Division, or Atlantic.

 

[Curufinwe]

MacDonald also spent most of the 15-16 season in the AHL. That's at least three really tough years out of five to argue about.

5 Takeaways: Fletcher talks MacDonald, Niskanen and more

MacDonald had an injury-marred down season for the Flyers in 2018-19 -- arguably his toughest season since a rough first full year in Philly during the 2014-15 campaign

 

[FlyersMania2]

Back from hiatus because there is no one here that rejoices over this news more than me.

 

[Johnk0728]

this could be one of those years when the team makes a crazy jump forward. like from 2007 to 2008, when we went from dead last to the conference finals.

Edit: Wrong year. I liked the 2008 season. It was a fun ride. If Frost makes the team and contributes; it will be fun to watch these kids.

 

[Curufinwe]

If MacDonald was as good as he should have been for that contract they wouldn't have just gone out and traded for Niskanen. Everyone knows it. They are just trying to be kind as he heads out the door.

And traded for Braun as well.

Shows what they really thought of MacDonald.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Hurry up and terminate the thing.

 

[achdumeingute]

So did this actually happen yet?

It's right here in blue and white.

Just want to erase him from memory as quickly as possible.

There seems to be a trend with Haks' favorite players. None of them get another contract with NHL team...

Good for Switzerland. As an inland country, they have only seen starfish in encyclopedia before... Now they can see it live
