2022-23 Flyers: How about just less suck?

[lasgop8]

That makes me feel better lol

I played last two powerball things, won 4 dollars on one and two dollars on the other, I'm on a freaking roll baby!

For $20 i get a shot a $810 million and all week i dream of what to do with it and then i lose by the middle of the week.

This doesn't have to do with the cap but i was hoping Allison would be with the big club this year.

If either Ellis of Farabee goes on LTIR, then there is room for Allison and Brink. That takes Brown out.

Is that good or bad, IDK who the hell Brown is?

How can you forget Patrick Brown. Played for us 44 games last year 4-5-9.

31-year-old veteran blueliner may be forced to retire

It was only a year ago that the Philadelphia Flyers acquired defenceman Ryan Ellis from the Nashville Predators in exchange

This is my shocked face.

See post 686. Would not be the worst thing to happen.

WTFC is getting snowballed by the hidden "treasure trove" of layers of bullshit and just bad players that are emerging one-at-a-time. The latest to be revealed under this increasingly familiar refrain is Bobby Brink, a prospect that is going to require hip surgery to repair a femoral labrum at 21 years of age. At 5'9 166lbs, dude is just not very big and may be suspect to injury proneness going forward. Surprise, surprise, and we shall see.

The season has yet to even begin and it already looks like it will be injury-riddled...Lol

Hopefully all of this bad luck results in us drafting 1st or 2nd overall next year. That could be one of the very few positives coming in the not so distant future.

Funny last summer i was saying that Ellis is not Bobby Orr and we got him so cheap because he was an injury waiting to happen and the response to my post was "why am i even a Flyer fan" from one of our posters.. I guess we know now why we got him so cheap.

Drafting/signing or trading for players with size is taboo around here to some posters. For me its so obvious its not the way to win a cup but you can lead posters to water but you cant make them drink.

Jackpot is over $1bn now.... probably can get the Flyers with just one win now, especially if you're negotiating with WTFC.

There is something seriously wrong with all the injuries being incurred by Flyers in the offseason. I don't know how much the organization gets involved with offseason training and conditioning, but it's borderline insanity to see what's going on and not do something about it.

Sadly though, after taxes and fees, the winner will probably only see about $300 million of that. Pretty fucking amazing.

Mega is now at 1.2 billion and i will be dreaming of owning 51% of the team if i win the $602 million cash option. Got to be in it to win in it!!

Its what happens when you draft 3-4 years of tiny players to play in a mans game with nobody around to protect the small players.

Flyers sign forward Tanner Laczynski to two-year contract | Philadelphia Flyers

Laczynski appeared in one game with the Flyers at the end of the 2021-22 season after he spent a majority of the year with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL)

Hey at least we got Lacynski until he is 27 so were should be done signing and trading.

Flyers probably have enough tax loss credits to offset -

The best thing would be for all the fans to go dead quiet and just turn their backs to the ice.
