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

People are losing their minds here in Detroit over lack of moves by Yzerman.

We need to give Briere the time it takes to undo DECADES of Flyers floundering in mediocre land.

First off, the Panthers are a lot more than a contender. They are the defending Cup champs and a potential dynasty in the making. Also, they didn't just begin this quest at the beginning of last season or even a handful of seasons ago. Barkov was drafted 2nd overall in 2013. That's 12 years ago, folks.

That franchise hadn't won dick since finally breaking through last season after some massive trades, plus numerous tweaks to the roster across years and years. They missed the playoffs five times with Barkov and were knocked out in round 1 three times. They finally broke through and made the Cup finals in '23, won it all in '24 and are in position to get back there again this year.

The point is, this shit doesn't just happen overnight. There will be fucking hardships along the way of creating a winner. Yes, Danny B is going to have to consolidate his resources and make some courageous moves here eventually. Until he completely fumbles the ball, I have to believe in his plan. That and the franchise has to make the right moves at the draft and develop some of those prospects into stars. It's all there for the taking. This is not some impossible thing. Let's go get it.

I think we all get that fact that it takes time but what many see is that Briere seems to have a penchant to do stupid shit at the wrong time like last year's First Round. Granted, that might have been a mistake in the process, but he is going to have to get better in selecting talent when he does have the right opportunity come along.

Briere has taken the first steps in moving people and salaries to obtain multiple draft picks in drafts. Now he has to take the next steps he selecting talented players that we need to build that championship team we all want.

So, yes, Maverick, we will have to wait for the next steps in the building process to unfold but he has to happen without stupid shit!
