GDT: Preseason Game 1 | Bruins at Flyers | Sep 24, 7pm | Wells Fargo Center

[Curufinwe]

Not surprising to hear Tippet didn't impress. Hopefully Torts cuts bait with him quickly if he continues to disappoint during the season.

GM Torts will have him on waivers before you know it.

Tippett didn't play badly, still struggling to finish which is kind of weird, since he'd been a prolific scorer at lower levels.
With his size and speed, he should at worst be a terrific forechecker, imagine if NAK had puck skills without the stupid penalties.

He runs a 7.9% shooting percentage. Which is well below league average.

I haven't decided why specifically I think that is yet, but for whatever reason he just doesn't put pucks in net. He also doesn't exactly get many shots on net to begin with, either, for someone who has "shooter" as their main strength, which doesn't help.

So a shooter who doesn't take many shots or score on a good % of those shots?

Just what you want.

Imagine if NAK outscored Tippett last season even though NAK only played 721:39 at ES & 2:12 on the PP, while Tippett played 738:18 at ES & 107:04 on the PP.

Oh wait, you don't have to imagine it because that actually happened.

Yeah but Makar.

 

[Curufinwe]

What's funny about the alleged Makar Miracle, is that Tippett spent more time playing on a line with 115 point Jonathan Huberdeau than NAK spent playing with Makar.

AND he got 105 more powerplay minutes.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Tippett sucks. It’s clear that Cuck either:
1) coveted Tippett and actually asked for him in a trade for G 2) asked for another centrepiece but got bitchslapped by Zito and lowered his asking price. Either way, it was an absolutely horrendous trade for a legendary franchise player.

Yeah, Justin Bailey was a real force when he played for the Flyers.

He runs a 7.9% shooting percentage. Which is well below league average.

I haven't decided why specifically I think that is yet, but for whatever reason he just doesn't put pucks in net. He also doesn't exactly get many shots on net to begin with, either, for someone who has "shooter" as their main strength, which doesn't help.

He scores so infrequently because he's slow upstairs. Not quite rocks for brains, but something slightly more useful. Sand? He's got sand brain.

We don't kink shame.

We don't kink shame.

maybe that should be the lockerroom sign

 

[deadhead]

Tiippett was the "B" prospect. The 1st rd pick was the primary asset.
How often do "A" prospects get traded in a TDL trade for a 30+ year old veteran?

"A" prospects are usually only included in trades for prime age top players.

For G u should've got an "A" prospect... whether Fletcher pissed G off so he only would accept a trade to Florida is the unknown......that's what caused the underpayment reportedly..........really have no clue about the f***ing revisionist history on NAK.... he was mediocre at best in Philly...... was a penalty machine which is the reason they dumped him.....Not a Tippett fan but willing to give the kid a chance.... Fletcher sucks but waiving NAK is not in the top 100 reasons why...maybe he becomes a decent player but he wasn't here

G should not have garnered an "A" prospect, he was not an elite player at 34, he had a sizeable cap hit (Pro-rated $8.25M) and was strictly a rental for a PO team (b/c cost of resigning combined with his age made that prohibitive for most PO teams).

He was not Stone at 27, etc.
Duchene at 28 was traded for Vitaly Abramov (#65) and Jonathan Davidsson (#170), and the #19 pick at the TDL.

No matter how you frame this Fletcher got fleeced.

 

[Magua]

The Flyers didn’t get an A piece in the trade. They got a late 1st in 2024/2025, which is a B asset. And they got a C asset in Tippett.
