how long have I joked about the Flyers getting this guy? 2 or 3 years?

I hate this f***ing moron.

 

[Striiker]

That’s crazy timing.

I was just telling someone we really needed another shitty RW.

 

[RANKKA]

perfect

 

[Magua]

Not an ineffective player (that cap hit though) but just a big ol’ why?

Oh wait. We know why. John Tortorella wanted his 4th line 10 goal PKers — the Flyers are the only team in the league who has a coach with personnel say. And the Bullies 2.0 in the front office can say they got a Flyers Tough!!1!!! player. Rejoice dammit.

I want you to put this in perspective of having Deslauriers already sucking up a roster spot on the 4th line. And refusing to trade Laughton for assets. How many 4th line players can you acquire for a rebuilding team without sucking up all the oxygen? Never enough for the Flyers. Youth when.

 

[Striiker]

Torts is going to deliver us a top 5 pick so just be grateful.

This is Tort’s doing everything in his power to make sure the public perception is he’s overachieving.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Meh. No problem with this.

 

[TheKingPin]

This is what it is, but I do think he could return some picks at the deadline this year or next.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

oh wut

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I think he's generally fine. If he means that ND never plays a game again in a Flyers uniform, then I'm all for it.

 

[GKJ]

I think they're gonna sign a defenseman eventually

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I get the glut of bottom 6 guys but I don’t mind this. He does have some skill and he is a bastard to play against.

I think him and Poehling means that Laczynski is done. Nic D is here to stay.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Maybe they're finally realizing you can't actually protect anyone from vicious players, so they'll just sign them.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

He's fine. Not a useless plug. Just doesn't make much sense to be signing these types.

The 2018-19 Blue Jackets speedrun is on a good pace.

ND basically showed last year that he's cooked and pointless. Lacz is at least an ACTUAL PKer, but yeah, I could see Lacz being in the AHL from now on.

Someone please show me where Foerster, Lycksell, even Desnoyers can win a roster spot. This isn’t a rebuild.

It’s actually sorta funny that in a world where Deslauriers wasn’t vomiting on himself without a single scratch all season and another roster player was moved for a 1st+, the Flyers could actually assemble a pretty solid 4th line. Which is super important and paramount for a bottom 10 team.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Unnecessary, but ultimately one steaming pile of meh.

Not a fan of this guy, but he'll be gone before it matters that he's on the roster. Another warm body to bridge through the rebuild.

In Allentown, along with Brink

They were never going to.

Be ready for "underwhelming TC" to be used as a made-up excuse.
