I'm a die hard Ranger fan and I have to tell you, this is an outstanding presser for both Torts and the room. Excellent questions and thoughtful, clear answers. I still miss Torts and even since his Ranger days he's learned so much. Flyers fans your outlook is bright. Best of luck. Except against the Blueshirts lol.
While I would want them to they would have to move someone else, Which I also would not be opposed to. Too many bodies on the blue line at the moment. Also, not sure if Bonk will make the team or not next year
@@tonyguerrier2258 not saying he was the answer, but the pairing of Seeler and Walker was very good and he also helped the pk with some shorties. Their pk and defense were worse without him.
Frost Farbee Risto 12.5 mill we got some decisions to make. Buyout Atkinson! Both Arizona and Ottawa are looking to shake things up and have pieces and high picks also.Pinto Chycrun sens Cooley zona both have high picks. It's showtime Danny!!
Goodbye Frost. We need some more offensive help on the blueline, so if there's value for Risto we need to take it. I hope we keep Farabee as he keeps improving every year, while Frost is just an inconsistent offensive player that isn't going to keep getting ice time here and more young players start to come up.
Daniel Briere gets it. The real goal is to think long-term and do the math right, to win the Stanley Cup and not be a team that can merely make the playoffs. I wish my fellow Sabres fans could see this. The Flyers are in good hands.
And yet no one touched the elephant in the room. The Power(less) Play. I would be seriously looking for a new coach and yet no one asks that question. The Flyers players looked like a high school team out there against the NHL teams. 12.2% is just not acceptable even for this team in a serious rebuilding situation. They have some talent, and they should have been much better. Whoever is the coach should sneak up backwards to collect their paycheck, because they sure mailed it in last year.
I think Denver Barkey is looking good this season. He still needs some strength and to put on muscle, though. We got him in the 3rd round. If he was in the draft this year, he'd be a first rounder with 102 points in the OHL. The center they just signed from U of Denver, Rizzo, had 44 points in 30 games... looked good. And Bonk of course, with over a point per game, looked good. Lot of other guys looked good, and most of the young goalies looked great. McLaughlin from North Dakota looked good this year also. Brink really needs more playing time. Lacynski looked pretty solid in Lehigh Valley, and so did Cooper Marody.
This season was handled horrible. Should’ve just tanked for a higher draft pick. Danny doesn’t want to admit that it will take a while for the rebuild because he still wants to sell tickets.
So basically the fans should expect more mediocrity. Can’t blame the players for their point productions when the team does not have a true #1 or #2 centers. Stop lying Danny, Trevor Zegras & Kent Johnson have been on the block for months, & Martin Necas is on the block. Michkov wants to play in the NHL this upcoming season. I have confidence he will find a better organization to help him, & demand a trade. I can think of a team he would be released tomorrow for. Pathetic that Rocky Thompson still has a job. Pathetic that Sharp & Heatly have to help him. Where is the accountability for Rocky? This organization is a joke.
You’re acting like picking 12 is a bad thing 💀😂 also there’s this thing called the draft lottery and it’s not a guarantee they pick at 12 and also have a late round pick they can trade…
EXACTLY! Torts has this team and its fans thinking it was going to the playoffs only to miss the playoffs and get a worse draft pick. Horrible management.
Danny wen the other team wanted to play we folded like a cheap suit,Watch the playoffs danny,watch TB,Florida,watch all the heart and want to on the ice.
50 years should be enough said. 1) look at roster, why so many guys over 30? 2) Who is the center piece of this rebuild? 3) Finally under the cap and Seeler is resigned using Cap space. 4) Neanderthal coach that enjoys ridiculing players in public. 5) no company or organization can execute two strategies…make playoffs and rebuild. 6) NHL believes ex players can become world class executives. 7)Comcast needs to sell.
we don't want to focus on that part....yeah I'll bet you don't Danny. Missing the playoffs, let not talk about just that? Its funny you think thats your job.
Because of the number of contracts they already have, they have to subtract somewhere in order to add. And they have some guys they can trade that have value elsewhere that don't have as much value here.
Flyers were overachievers and underachievers for the last part of the season. Flyers have no real talent, just average skilled players. Devils, Blackhawks, Canadiens will win cups before Flyers. Flyers are the Cleveland Browns of the NHL.
Sweet Jesus. The franchise and their obsession with Morgan Frost. The kid is not a second liner imho? 13 goals….thats it. A career of only 39 goals in over 200 games. Idk. I am not nhl scout or gm, but I just don’t believe he is part of the future
You were in 6th position how the f@%$k can you blow that - you didn't compete in the last three weeks? Losing to terrible team s! I am betting you aren't getting in the playoffs in 2025 either.
“Betting”? Tots had the team playing extremely far over their skis. They will likely move a couple players and bring a few up. They need a lot more talent. And drafting 12 doesn’t exactly help this. The likelihood that they take a step back before moving forward for a season, unfortunately even two, is high. There are a lot of holes on this team - goalie situation Is still questionable, depth on D, our top six forwards are bad. Danny mentioned Drysdale - the kid likely has a bleak future with his shoulder issues. Then you have Morgan frost - he IS NOT a second line center
Even with all the young D coming up, wouldn't mind keeping Erik Johnson around. He is a steady veteran kind of like Pronger, Niskanen - think he was good for the blue line overall. Would be great to add a 1C but that is expensive. Would also like to see Farabee go through the 'Sanhiem offseason training program' and put on some size and muscle, I think it will help him immensely.
Nah, way too unproductive and that's what we did last time around and it never got anywhere. That's also why you signed Nick Seeler. Time to let the kids play and prove if they can stick.
They haven't even started to rebuild yet. Outside of Michkov they have drafted zero high end talent and they have nothing coming this draft. This is going to get worse before it gets better.
