Proposal: Leafs/Flyers

[pmwlker]

I love how Leafs fans can presume to tell Flyers fans what we would do. We know our team better than you do and know for a fact we wouldn’t make this trade. Keep thinking we would if it makes you feel better though. That is the point right? Making yourselves feel better at the expense of other fan bases.

 

[pmwlker]

do you not realize that you are criticizing Leafs fans for not valuing the Flyers players enough for your liking, while at the same time posting about how Matthews is the most overvalued player in the league?

I haven’t criticized anyone but the OP. Matthews is being overvalued and the Flyers players undervalued. A blind idiot can see that. No point continuing this is there.

The flyers would not jump at this deal. Maybe in a vacuum some value is there, but not in the real world. Of course we would love to have AM. But let’s take a best case projection on your side of the bargain and realistic approach from the Flyers side.

90pt 1c, for 1D just outside of the generational D of his era, and a solid 60 pt 2c. Maybe you can make the argument it’s fair value, but from a team needs standpoint it makes no sense for the Flyers. We have a 1c, that in time will likely turn into 1b/1b situation. We don’t NEED Matthews as good as he is. We NEED Provorov, and yes we need Patrick moving forward.

There is, or i should say wasn’t, any animosity from Flyers fans towards AM the player, and the offer wasn’t laughed outright by anyone but Leafs fans. Any neutral fan coming in here will see “oh value aside, i get where they’re coming from.” And you have leafs fans bringing ‘jokes’ of the finest hyperbole in here to knock on the value of 21 year old number one d, and a recent 2 overall pick who, while no Matthews, is a center you can one day build around.

Tl,dr; Flyers fans politely decline, Leafs fans fly into hysteria

Hey man shut up you totally would do this and run away laughing and giggling.. you just hate muh precious leafs so much that you won’t admit it

 

[pmwlker]

You are correct this sums up hfboards.

The flyers would jump at this deal, obviously, yet hfboards hates the leafs so much that they pretend they wouldn't.

There’s the persecution complex. Once again it tears its ugly head. Definitely done here. Time to update the ignore list. Good day all

 

[Tripod]

It's amazing how underrated the 21 year old #1 Dman who just led the NHL in goals(for D), is.

Firstly don’t ever tell me to shut up. WAs I rude to you or something??

Secondly I don’t hate the Leafs and my post history clearly shows that. Don’t assume because I hate the trade that I’m just a Leafs hater. You would be wrong. Lose the persecution complex not everyone hates the Leafs. It’s getting old.

poor persecuted kid needs to update his ignore list.

 

[mdm815]

I think he was being sarcastic

 

[bauer]

no. one team declines, laughing. one team accepts, laughing.

i love how defensive Leafs fans get when another team doesn't accept one of their players. like who cares? we don't like this deal. get over it already. stop crying like babies that someone didn't want your precious Matthews.

i know the city of Toronto has a serious inferiority complex but this is just ridiculous.

Hahahahaha sarcasm guy... all sarcasm. Try taking yourself alittle less seriously on an nhl message board

 

[NoName]

Matthews is by far the most valuable player in this equation and is the face of the Leafs franchise so a hard no.

 

[pmwlker]

poor persecuted kid needs to update his ignore list.

Grow up Zeke. It’s time. Big boy pants

 

[Jray42]

to say this in THIS thread of all threads is just too rich.

this place is amazing.

Oh get off your high f***ing horse, Zeke

You’ve had the same shtick for years

 

[bauer]

it's hilarious isn't it? i mean, this trade is literally the exact opposite of what Hextall would do. he's not trading away a 21 year old #1 D when the team has no defensive depth. but that blue and white victim complex is in full force. it's all the boards fault!

Sorry to upset you so much, bud, but I'll continue to mock hfboards for their adorable leafs takes, because it amuses me.

worst ignore list ever.

i think you're clearly the one who's upset. Flyers fans aren't the ones with the victim complex blaming HFBoards for all their troubles. you are the ones whining that we wouldn't accept a fake made up trade that doesn't even mean anything. you're good comedy here though, i'll give you that.

 

[Morbo]

“Matthews wouldn’t make any difference to the Flyers, we have multiple players as good or better”

“VICTIM COMPLEX!! VICTIM COMPLEX EVERYONE!”

 

[Jray42]

No ones saying that.

Nice try, though.

you sound upset.

you're even trying to psychoanalyze the fact that we are mocking the reaction to a trade proposal on the internet.

Read. Someone said that.

 

[Hapiii]

Read. Someone said that.

Why not just quote then?

 

[Jray42]

Read. Someone said that.

I stand corrected. Well 99% of us obviously don’t believe that.

But this entire thread is:

Flyers fans: “We get why Toronto wouldn’t do this, but we wouldn’t either.”

Leafs fans: “LOL you idiots the flyers would accept laughing at this deal, I can’t believe people are saying no it must be the fact you hate the leafs har har har”

Flyers fans: “no it’s just the trade doesn’t make sense, we need Provorov and the big upgrade from Nolan to Auston isn’t worth it for us...”

Leafs: “more examples of the anti-leaf bias on HF... I’ve been here for years and it’s always been this way...”

 

[Redpath]

Shitshow Flyers/Leafs trade proposal threads are truly my favorite HFBoards pasttime.
