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? :eek:

Edit: did not realize there were so many Pink Floyd references in this thread already. As for "The Final Cut" i came to it much later than 1983, since it was banned in the USSR for: "Brezhnev took Afghanistan.." etc.

I guess it’s not the biggest issue, but I’m not confident so far in Fletcher’s ability to find value at the margin.

Weal was probably worth ~4th round pick. A 6th or 7th for Leier seems more useful than Bailey.

These moves likely won’t hurt the Flyers. Still, it’s important to get the appropriate assists in exchange for even the least valuable players in the system. Sometimes the extra effort can improve the team in the long term.

The priority right now should be trading Simmonds and Hagg. Smaller deals involving Weal and Leier should’ve happened closer to the TDL, when trade value of depth/role players seems to be highest.

A 6th or 7th round pick is more useful than a 22 yr. old second round pick who can skate? WTF? How many 6th or 7th rounders make the NHL. A player with possible upside is way more valuable than a late round pick. The prospect love is so rampant on this board that sometimes it affects people's common sense. I know there are posts on this board where people wanted the Flyers to draft Bailey. This team is too dam small on the bottom 6 to compete in the Eastern Conf. Guys like Weal and Leier on the bottom 6 are ineffective. And they are not good enough to play in the top 6.

You're the one embarrassing yourself with your ongoing hysterics.


Please, explain how Leier is comparable. Go ahead. That's step 1 in showing your poorly thought out strawman is anything but feeble on every single level.

You clearly have zero understanding of sarcasm (and a number of other things for that matter) and yet I am the one embarrassing myself, lol :thumbu:

Sometimes you can change and re-set your focus. See Scott Laughton...he will never be an offensive player in the NHL. He was as stupid as you can get during his first go-around in the NHL. He reinvented his game and now has a good chance (recent play notwithstanding) of carving out a decent NHL career as a bottom 6 player. Leier does not have the skillset to play in the NHL at his size. You have to finish when you are that small in the NHL. If you don't then you become a liability.

No one wants Weise and Lehtera because of their contracts. Pretty simple....

Exactly. Lehtera is just garbage but in a vacuum there isn't a single playoff team who wouldn't rather have Weise on their fourth line over Weal and Leier. Either way since Weise cleared and wasn't re-assigned and Fletcher told him to stay home it's obvious they are trying to work a trade.
