The Philadelphia Flyers 2024 Off Season Thread

[Retroram52]

Good call, it's the Sangre de Cristo mountains, that's Billings lake, theres a small old mine above there with a tunnel that runs through the mountain (mostly collapsed now) that comes out in the town of Tincup. Same place the whiskey is made. It's a good jaunt up there, that's why not too many people. Nice Browns in that lake to.

Yep, Crispy, I thought that looked familiar. I know where that is. I used to live in Denver and made many forays into those great snow-capped peaks of the continental divide. I was there for nearly 20 years. Colorado is still incredibly beautiful. However, since all the Californians have moved in, they have ruined Denver. It has become a shithole. Kinda sad. Sort of like being a Flyers Fan.

Not really, just some hockey action. I've been fishing, hiking and 4 wheeling all summer so far. Was up in the clouds today actually. View attachment 366981

There's a lot of those getaways here, you definitely need a ATV or solid 4 wheel drive to get there, not too many roach coaches gonna make it up there lol. I go to these places during the week to avoid any kind of crowds, but I would say 10-12 people at any one of these places is a crowd. Some of the roads are super Rocky and bumpy which keeps the elderly and Texans from going up there . It's definitely one of the few places of serenity and beauty that need to stay that way.

 

[Retroram52]

Oh yeah Crispy! When the Californians and Texans moved into Colorado they just literally trampled serene places like that to death. If you knew of one, you had to keep it quiet otherwise, it wasn't going to be serene for long!!

One Massive Offer Sheet Could Finish Flyers’ Rebuild

The 2024 NHL offseason has slowed substantially in recent days, but that doesn’t mean the Philadelphia Flyers should relent in their endless pursuit of a long-term No. 1 center. In fact, there’s one sitting right there for the Flyers to have. That’s Quinton Byfield, an unsigned Los Angeles Kings...

This is really interesting. I guess there’s nothing illegal about it, but it is anti-competitive. Sports leagues have special exemption from US anti-trust laws, but that subjects them to more scrutiny from regulators. Will be interesting to see if any teams bring forward lawsuits to stop the transaction.

OR !!!! well run teams don’t need cap-friendly so who gives a shit other than the fan base. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another site pop up now.

I guess any team can own a website dedicated for the fans.

If this was a tool solely used by the league i could see an anti trust but this is a public site.

EJ has always been a solid team guy. He will help out a lot with the younger guys.

Regarding four nations tournament and Canadas Roster

Canada is so deep up front that it would be completely justifiable to swap in four or five different forwards. Pesky, in-your-face speedsters like Hagel, Konecny, and Verhaeghe got the nod, partly because of how well their games would translate to bottom-six roles.

Love the way he played last year. Thing I love about guys like him and Seeler is, they know their not top talent guys. However, they know what their role is and what their worth is to the team and they play 100% balls out in that role. If he keeps playing like he has been he's a great signing.
