Confirmed with Link: Flyers aquire Justin Bailey from Buffalo in exchange for Taylor Leier (Bailey recalled 2/10)

[Embiid]

Bailey know this guy.......

 

[ajw12]

NHL GMs are so ****ing ridiculous. Trade Weal, waive Weise, Leier for Bailey, WTF.

Put Homer back in the seat.

 

[sa cyred]

Meh Leier wasn’t really much of an NHL player anyway so who cares. Maybe change of scenery does something for Bailey, or maybe it doesn’t.

 

[FLYguy3911]

There’s your shoot first winger guys.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Its not Erat so that is very good.


Seems like a trade for the sake of doing it though.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

K.

 

[Chinatown88]

Wanted him in whatever draft year he was in. Never panned out I guess.

Wait if he starts to trade for players I wanted...
Is Fletcher in my head? Or am I Chuck Fletcher?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Big and fast and essentially free.

Still complain.

 

[CapnZin]

Weise is still here and on the NHL roster.

Yeah, but he waived him.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, but he waived him.

Which means nothing unless he actually does something now.

 

[Striiker]

Sabres fan here.

A bit on Bailey -- he's fast. Very, very, very fast. That's about it. Hands pretty stone-like. Willing to battle along the boards, but not a fighter at all. He'll tantalize with speed and get chances, but that'll be it.

What's the story on Leier?

Small, quick, pretty good in the AHL.

Not an NHL player.

What's the story on Leier?

Speedy, small, and will go wherever the puck is, but can’t do a single thing with it.

Probably can crack your lineup on a try out. Leier is better than Bailey.

I was just saying Fletcher has only targeted Hextallian players

 

[Striiker]

I was just saying Fletcher has only targeted Hextallian players

Well that's pretty much all that's here, other than the core...

Who else would he target?

 

[CapnZin]

Simmonds... idk... .... .... you’re picking apart everything I’m saying... let’s just focus on what matters at the moment: Myers and NAK are still in the AHL while Weise, Lehtera, and Amac are on the NHL roster

 

[Curufinwe]

I swear to ****ing god if Fletcher has Bailey on the NHL squad instead of NAK I’m going be quite upset.

It also seems as if Fletcher is giving a big **** you to Hextall: Weise, Weal, and Leier

Hextall didn’t draft Leier or put him on the Flyers roster this season.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I was just saying Fletcher has only targeted Hextallian players

Or all the shit players

 

[baudib1]

Well, I am in favor of the strategy that says, "If we're gonna have shitty players, make sure they're fast shitty players."

 

[TCTC]

Hextall didn’t draft Leier or put him on the Flyers roster this season.

But didn't he once say he wished Leier was his son or some crazy shit like that? Leier definitely seemed to be one of his guys, otherwise he probably wouldn't have even made it to the NHL.

 

[Tripod]

Are we really upset that Leier is traded? I'm not. He had no future here. Bailey likely doesn't either.

Like that Bailey has lots of speed so maybe that will be something Fletch likes going forward.

 

[CapnZin]

Hextall didn’t draft Leier or put him on the Flyers roster this season.

Yeah you’re right... idk why, but I thought he was a part of the 2014 draft... not 2012

 

[bennysflyers16]

Simmonds... idk... .... .... you’re picking apart everything I’m saying... let’s just focus on what matters at the moment: Myers and NAK are still in the AHL while Weise, Lehtera, and Amac are on the NHL roster

He’s number 2 on TSN a board, he will be traded. Be patient and wait for the best offer.

 

[The Madrigal]

Should have gotten a 3rd or 4th for Leier. Terrible trade.

 

[Embiid]

This trade doesn't move the needle in any direction...

Philly is rarely patient... but yes... you’re right
