Confirmed with Link: Flyers trade Ryan Hartman to Dallas for Tyler Pitlick

[Starat327]

Hey @JojoTheWhale I think we debated this pretty heavily at the time.

I concede, this was an awful trade. Looking back, it was just a precursor to a series of ufortunate events.

 

[Adam Warlock]

These shitty trades happen when you screw the cap up this bad.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Something tells me that we're getting the Provorov contract soon and that it's going to be unsavory.

There is not a shred of proof whatsoever that Fletch can handle that without getting bent over hard.

 

[BiggE]

Pitlick was the true cog on that team. Forget Benn and Seguin.

Well, the owner never dissed Pitlick publicly so....

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Well, hopefully Hogg's days are numbered. Fletch is practically looking under the sofa for cap space change.

What are the worst contracts Fletch signed though? Any comparables?

 

[Striiker]

I'll actually go ahead and say that I like this deal on its own. Adding Hartman was a mistake to start with but removing him like this makes sense.

I'd rather take this trade than overpay Hartman and have him just become another inferior roadblock for far better young players, like Farabee and Frost. If this means that we just added a cheaper, less roadblocky roadblock in front of them, then that makes the trade worth it alone.

I'd also hope that Pitlick is just going to be the 4th line RW or 13th forward, and is less of a risk of playing in the top 9 than Hartman was.

All this means is that I've had the misfortune of wasting more of my life watching Ryan Hartman play hockey than you have. I think you're the winner here.

Mr. Comcast "excited for the trade deadline" wanted players who could help now at the deadline.

Great trade, asshole. Stay the f*** out of hockey decisions you no-nothing corporate piece of shit.

what the f***?

 

[BrindamoursNose]

**** limp dick Hexy for not trading Simmonds years ago

Yeah we should kill him that seems like an appropriate response to this trade made by FLETCHER

I think it's something that's out of his hands to be honest. If the rumblings are true then Provorov wants something in the range of 8M and Fletch has no ground to stand on to oppose him; he absolutely cannot afford for this team to start off with Provy un-signed.

I think you guys are overestimating what teams were offering for Simmonds at the deadline.

He can be effective 4th liner who can chip in on the pk. At 1 million, I’d much rather have him then Hartman for twice as much or more. Seems like a sensible deal to me.

 

[NicolasAubeKubel]

Hartman would’ve been the best 4th line winger in the NHL this season. Fletcher pissed away all of the cap space away on washed up vets and Kevin f’ing Hayes, this is just damage control.

Giving away a good player for nothing.

I mean, we always knew Simmonds was only half the player without PP time. And since he lost his ability to be effective on the PP, he's barely an NHL player anymore.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Didn't care much for Hartman, so I'm ok with this trade. Pitlick is better suited for the 4th line and and kills penalties. he's a UFA next summer though

Yup.

Good job by Fletcher here.

I have no problem giving him credit when he deserves it. I’m rooting for him to be a good GM as much as anyone.

Hartman did nothing for us last season. Made a big hit in his first shift, then was invisible for the rest of the season.

the good news is there is less danger of Pitlick playing that 3RW spot than there was Hartman. so, i feel better that either Frost will make the team, or at least there will be a better player there. Hartman just isn't a consistent enough player anymore to be top 9. and too expensive to be 4th line.

It’s not about amount, it’s about what form that amount came in.
