Paying Sanhiem and trading them would be preferable to me. We need assets. Trading TDA or Risto would COST assets. The assets they get now for Sanheim will be more valuable than a 30+ yo Sanheim several years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that's what I think, maybe not though, 9's trajectory is not on the green arrow pointed up. In my worst case scenario one of them is gone. I also wonder; How does having 10 extra picks I. 25 (for instance) help build the team? I don't all the way disagree with what you're saying. The team needs high talent players. I really think Sanheim's work ethic and professionalism are things I'd like the team to retain while acquiring the generational talents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking Hayes or Ristolainen I'd love to see Chuck make one of his patented overpays to get rid of them both. Next year's draft is looking too good to part with our #1 (we do still have our #1 pick for next year don't we???) but anything and everything else should be on the table. But of course it'll never happen. The Flyers love what those 2 bring....all those exciting Big Hits, the groovy dangling with the puck! Oh yay. I am talking about Sanheim, but I’m making a comment on Chuck’s (lack of) competence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby played great but was still an asshole Early in his career i thought he was selfish. He killed his team's momentum by engaging in every slight, every stink eye and face wash. He spent too much time officiating the game. In short he was an immature brat. Bill Gurien helped redirect that energy. tl:dr boys need men.

This is why not signing Jagr was such a tragic mistake for Claude Giroux's development, especially with Pronger going down. Also, too, my long in development YA adventure history novel where Kimmo Timonen is named captain instead of Mike Richards, but I digress... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'm thinking they could maybe flip Sanheim for a newly drafted center to a team in need of some help now on the blueline. They have York, Attard, Zamula, Ginning and Andrea to eventually fill some holes. Not sure who they could target or what team but it might be the best thing for the future. The downside scary part is it would be Chuck trading him so i can see him being fleeced. So i wish i could say i could trust them to get a good return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 This rumor was part of yesterday's "Top Shelf Hockey" segment on YouTube. It might come to pass at the deadline if we are an absolutely horrible franchise and there's a pot-of-gold coming from a trade partner. But for the time being, he is probably one of the few "keepers" on the squad. Fletcher and the Command Staff don't warrant further attention for now. However, if we don't see any improvement in the last 2/3rds of the season, I think they're probably out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Another thought I just had, and for all I know someone else has already made it, Fletcher should not be entrusted to make any more moves. He should be put in lame duck status. Prior to the deadline, assuming nothing good happens (how could it), he should be removed and the replacement should come in. Between now and then, start vetting suitable candidates, then lets Torts decide who should be GM. Hes the only MF'r in the building who has a friggin clue Edited October 5, 2022 by CoachX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it has to be either Chuck or Danny and well i chose Danny because as of now Danny gives us hope till well he shows he doesn't. We know what Chuck brings - getting bent over in a trade.....can't afford that any longer time for change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 @OccamsRazor maybe they should hire someone from this forum. I wonder if there are any qualified applicants? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
