Btw, how many years out of the last 10, have the devils had a top like 7 pick? Well, they had the 4th-worst record, so I guess it's not too terrible, but I do hate draft lotteries. Too much opportunity for shenanigans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when the Penguins had two #1 overall picks, and then the #5 overall pick, all in 3 years? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Frankly the flyers should completely tear this down and try to get rid of guys who long term aren’t going to be here after the rebuild. However knowing the flyers they will do something stupid like they did with trading for risto then signing him or trading for an injury prone player like Ellis who’s over 30 with 5 years left on his contract. Pretty sure the flyers are going to be mediocre franchise until they just blow it up and start an actual rebuild which won’t happen at least until fletcher is gone. And likely not then either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely what they should do. But they won’t. Comcrap needs to justify their investment via ticket sales. Atkinson, JVR, Provy and Couturier should all be on the market to the highest bidder. They’re stuck with Hayes, Ellis and Risto, unfortunately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIRV Griffen Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 This team hasn’t opened the payroll for a top tier defenseman since Pronger and it shows. That guy, despite his age, was an immediate difference maker and it showed…and the antithesis of that shows today. The need someone who not only scares opponents, but his own teammates when they fail to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you mean you didn’t love them trading for Ellis who was injury prone, over 30 and making a lot of money the next 5 years? Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vsptroops Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I'm flipping back and forth between Caps/Panthers and Pens/Rags and it's depressing watching these teams realizing how far the Flyers are from these teams. This is only the first round. The Flyers are light years away from competing for a cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s even more disgusting to think that 20010 wasn’t that insanely long ago, and how competitive the Flyers were during that time. They had a great coach in Lavy, strong defense and at least adequate goaltending. They’re a shell of that form now with no hope in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovie, Oshie, Backstrom, Kuznetsov are great players. They had nothing but failure in the playoffs prior to 2018, they finally get over the hump, and now it's back to playoff futility again. Their 2018 run didn't start great either. They were down 2-0 to Columbus before they eventually turned it on and everything broke right for them from there. Kind of like the 2017 Eagles. Why the Caps didn't re-sign Trotz, who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I just don't care at all. If Calgary wins tonight, they would face Edmonton in the next round, in a "Battle for Alberta". The last time the two teams faced each other in the playoffs was 1988, I believe. That would be a great series to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
