Howie58 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 My broken record modified: Opening to Black Friday will be even messier than we could imagine. If we are lucky, Torts' input coupled with upside surprises from the youngins leads to a more bearable 2/3rds to close. I have to agree with the pundits that the one plus that could come from this season is the young players showing potential. They should have plenty of opportunity to strut their stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Should have traded him for a king's ransom instead of re-signing him. Duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cates Bros, maybe Attard, Tippett, etc. Agreed--the Deslaurier signing looks even stranger in this setting--it blocks a youngster. On the other hand, maybe he defends the youngsters instead of the missing-in-action old farts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but when they did they were definitely a playoff team that was going to make some noise in the playoffs and bring back their longest tenured captain for what would finally be the run of success they'd been predicting for 10 years. No, really. That was the plan. OK, so, now for the NEXT plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, not when it comes to ACSL and determining the relief, which is what matters regarding this discussion. That is simple math as shown in the equations, which is why I linked that FAQ. It's explained very well. Yeah, great, I was responding to RonJeremy who indicated they could get them $13M in space when you decided to correct me by showing that I was right. It is complicated. Good work. 1 hour ago, FireDillabaugh said: You don't "have" to be at or near the cap ceiling to benefit from LTIR. True, but having $14M.in dead space and getting $1M in space is still different. But please continue to split hairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 So, number one center is out. Number one defenseman is all but finished. Number one goalie is potentially embroiled in a sexual assault matter. Yeah what a season this is going to turn out to be...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I wonder if we see the newly-appointed VP assume CF's role sooner than later when CF will be kicked upstairs to some Senior Advisor role or if Scott himself retires? Torts becomes the glue by default. It has to be crystal clear that coaching has never been the big issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times does the chucktard have to be hit upside the head to figure things out. Its a youngster game. This process of signing old men doesn't work. Whats the over under game for Atkinson to suffer a season ending injury? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the over under game for Atkinson to suffer a season ending injury? We have key guys who are over 30 that are breaking down and we go out and sign,.Brassard, Thompson, Charlie Brown and Yandle, all were colossal failires.. The injuries of course continue and what do we do....we sign talentless goons and invite more over 30 washed up stiffs to camp . Great moves. Scorong goals is the biggest weakness among many and you play these pieces of crap who are career 5 goal scorers over the young guys and then you wonder why they don't develop and you lose the games anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Just incredible. He gets cleared to play and a week later he's out for 6-8 weeks - best case - with a herniated disk. And as @Howie58 said he's not a "young 29" there's a lot of hard miles on those legs. Well maybe it's not too bad, depends how herniated it is and whether it responds to steroids - or whatever the crack(head) Flyers' medical staff comes up with to treat him. If I was Sean I'd seek a 2nd and then a 3rd opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The Hart sexual misconduct/assault investigation is another angle. Regardless of outcome, this is a mess on his mind. Yes...a tandem of Sandstrom and Grosenick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 On 9/19/2022 at 6:37 PM, RonJeremy said: They are saying it’s another back injury, a herniated disk, since they allegedly repaired his original back injury , it must be a second herniated disk. It seems he injured himself during off ice training, I guess in the gym? They are saying he may be out 12 weeks. Which means ,even if he comes back, he will be ineffective and probably in and out of the lineup. Once you have recurring back problems your back is always stiff and periodically you have to get epidurals and are sometimes laid up for weeks at a time. I have had recurring back injuries and surgery, so I know. Off ice training? I wonder if this is a little like the Eichel injury (where he got it from lifting too much weight in his off ice training). Could be a long term and recurring thing.
