People may not know this,but Billy is an Axe Slinger of a Guitarist.
Tipp is Great.Get rid of the Cancerous Loooser coach,and he will be fine with Tocc.They are not signing Marner.Little ineffective Punk
Id rather sign Billy for 13 million
Trade for Tage Thompson
Did you say you saw Metallica 60 times?!
Cooley should be a top priority 2 firsts and Cam York and a 2nd round pic, and 2027 first. It will take a huge package as the Flyers had interest when he was drafted.
So Jason who do you feel the Flyers would have interest in Free Agency if Bennet is too expensive ?
The moneyball way of building a team fails again.
You have to have high end superstars.
Congratulations to USA Hockey, biggest win since Lake Placid.
Flyers 3 first round picks a rooster player for Sharks #2
Seen Metallica in Edmonton last August in Commonwealth Stadium mind-blowing show, have a great day my brothers. 😊❤.
Hey Jason hope you're doing well. I just wanted to drop a thought on something I have be observing in the playoffs. I hear a lot fans around Philadelphia who think having a tough team is an old mentality and it belongs with the Bullies only, but look at that Florida team. That is a tough gritty team, built mostly though free agency. They all play good defense, people around here think that coaching defense is bad for this team. I don't see why the flyers cant learn from what Florida has done. I live in Florida, hate the team and it's fans to be honest, but they are and have always been a tough team. Whatever they are doing is working, in a state where people could care less about hockey. It sucks to watch.
Interesting comments about Logan Cooley which would be the type of acquisition the Flyers should investigating. Maybe a 1st round pick, 2nd rounder and a roster player not named Michkov would be a starting offer.
i think that logan cooley tweet was fake bo
EDM & COL 1sts & Brink for Rossi
I like Logan Cooley, he might be a good player for the Flyers
Flyers had a lot of interest in Cooley his draft year
I’d love to get him!Maybe being from Pittsburgh he wants to
Play for Tocch remembering him as a coach and player and his connection w Sid??? Hahaha
I think the Flyers cannot go into the 2025-2026 season with the current lineup of goalies.
Package a combination of Fedotov (and eat A LOT of his contract), Kolosov, Zamula, Pelletier, Hathaway, Ristolainen, Grebenkin, and possibly, although I hate to say it, Tippett, and many of their picks for any of the following:
Eric Comrie
2.39 GAA .914 SV% 2SO
825K /y contract with 1 year left at Winnipeg before UFA
29 years old Catches L
CAN BE TRADED
Jett Greaves
2024-2025 played 11 games with :
1.91 GAA .938 SV%
813K/Y 1 year left before RFA w/ Arbitration
24 years old Catches L
CAN BE TRADED
Ilya Sorokin
29 years old catches L Russian
8.25m/Year 😳😳w/ 3 more years until UFA
NO MOVEMENT CLAUSE
BUT
2.71 GAA .907 SV% and 4 SO and potential long-term #1 starter goalie for the next 3+ seasons
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
(Last choice but could be a potential game-changer if they make a deal with multiple players from both sides)
3.20 GAA .887 GAA 2 SO
26 years old Catches L
He has 3 more years on contract until UFA with 4.75m cap hit
MODIFIED NO TRADE CLAUSE IN 26’
Which is good, not great, but fine if he plays well considering what we’re paying our current goalies on the roster, which is 5.65m or 6.4% of cap
ALSO – a change of scenery and the bigger market in Philly would be better than stuck in Buffalo – could also get Power if the price is right, but that’s another story!!!
Insane bump immediately for backup goalies / starters.
Errson
3.14 GAA .883 SV% 2 SO
1.45M/year (good not great) 1 year left before RFA w/ Arbitration
25 years old L catcher
Fedotov
3.15 GAA .880 SV% 0 SO
3.28M /year 😳
1 year left before UFA
28 years old L catcher
Kolosov
3.59 GAA 8.67 SV% 0 SO
925K/Y 1 year left before RFA
23 years old L catcher
Flyer goaltending yes is young and somewhat affordable but in absolutely no way are any of them starters in the NHL and Comrie, Sorokin, UPL all have #1 goalie written all over them with Greaves acting as ANY of their backup would be a significant bump in goaltending this franchise desperately needs. They need to be willing to pull up their big boy pants and pay the money necessary for this franchise to survive. They are going to have to pay up with top picks, taking on salaries and trading some serious assets for any of the two goalies above.
Even though the flyers desperately need to fill the #1 C, D and G positions I think they can survive next season without the #1 C and D if they make a few deals to get the #1 & #2 G
Also next season will have better #1 C’s available – sell the farm next season to get McDavid 😂😅
Thanks. Hope you like the input!!
Cooley would be a case of Buyer Beware. When a great house comes on the market you should be asking the realtor 'why are they selling?', when I interview for a job I ask 'why is this job open; where is the last guy?'. A 21 year-old who is already publicly demanding a trade? Doesn't sound like the type of leader you want to be at the front of the line to overpay.
No Marner! No Bennett! ……Cooley, on the other hand….
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the majority of the issue fans have with the Tocc hire is being a former flyer. It’s a lack of success. He’s had ONE good season coaching a team and that season he got insane goaltending from Demko and his team shot like 20%. He doesn’t have a proven track record of success.
And yeah, Brindy can’t win in the ECF but he gets his team there. Tocc hasn’t been there once as a HC. Brindy > Tocc every time.
Appears the Cooley report is fake from a hacked acct.
It’s wasn’t Chuck that destroyed flyers was Hextall
Why would you even talk about Mitch Marner? The guy is undersized and will be overpaid and doesn't show up in the playoffs? If I'm going after undersized guys it would be Verhaege or Point not Mitch Whiner!
Great cast boys.
🙏🙏🙏
LETS GO FLYERS !! !!!
