The Philadelphia Flyers 2024-2025 Season: Progressing Towards Lord Stanley's Cup

Ellis needs to retire.

Yeah, but why in the hell would he? Pretty sure he forfeits a bunch of money if he does so. I just think it's pretty fucked up that a guy signs an 8 year, $50 million deal with us and then plays 4 games lifetime for the Flyers. How in the fuck was he ever medically cleared to even be traded!?! And even if he was, how could he sustain such horrific back, hip and core injuries within 4 Nhl games that he could no longer play hockey at only age 31!? It just doesn't add up, for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Preds already knew he was done, that's all I'm saying.

Technically, Ryan Ellis was only 30 the last time he suited up for us. So, I'm expected to believe that he sustained career-ending injuries in 4 games with us after playing 562 Nhl games with Nashville? Lol I just can't buy it.

But yeah, the guy is getting paid $50 million to not play hockey for us. I don't expect him to just give up any of that money anytime soon, regardless of whether or not he can actually play.

Bruins coming to Philly tomorrow. Maybe another win like they did in Boston.
