  1. People mad at Danny are morons. Risto isnt worth as much as everyone thinks. He couldnt sell much else. We can hope he pulls off a miracle but you cant get mad if he doesnt find one. The moves he made were good. More us needed in the offseason or next year, but Danny is doin just fine. Thumbs up. Just please pick one small D and trade the other 2… Drysdale, York, Andrae…pick one ffs.

  2. C1 D1 Danny where are we getting them at ? I'm assuming the draft well if that's the case you better start stripping this team of some of its veterans because as currently constructed this team will never lose enough to get a top 5 pick I hope I am wrong but we never get lucky with draft positioning. An by the way for me you have been on the clock since the Jett Lachenko draft selection.

  3. This will go down as the worst press conference in Flyers history. First, Danny yells at the media for running with Risto stories. Then he throws the coach he hired under the bus. Another botched trade deadline where he failed to get any value and pearl clutched his potential UFA’s.

  4. just the enshitification of everything there is no reason in 2026 to not be able to hear the questions asked, it's fucking amateur hour

  5. Screw the culture that's already been established bring in some real skilled players for God's sake! If I have to watch another game like last night where no one played hard or had a pulse I am out on this front office.

  6. Extremely disappointing trade deadline, Briere. You could have traded Dvorak, Juulsen or Risto and you extended Dvorak and sat on the other two. For all their pluck the team severely lacks top end talent and you’re not going to get better sitting on assets you don’t need. The Brink/Jiricek trade was a small step but not nearly enough. I doubt you’re dumb enough to believe what you’re saying here today because with Risto’s injury history the time to sell on him was yesterday.

  7. "Risto has a lot of value to our team" when he's on the wrong side of 30, his contract expires next year, and this team is no where close to being remotely good is an insane thing to say

  8. Zegras not a center? Nonsense. Considering the effort org went to acquire him — maneuvering w/Anaheim over more than a year — and that Flyers' greatest positional need is at center, why on Earth is Briere allowing head coach to pigeonhole Zegras? Absurd.

    This season is over. Play him at center every game so we can see what we have. His best seasons in his career were when he was a center. Tocchet's system isn't utilizing him correctly and it's biasing the talent evaluation — a child could see this. The revelation that Danny now views Zegras as a winger is perhaps the most disappointing thing we learned from the presser.

  9. Coots cates and devorak is just a serious problem im not even sure how you fix. Happy we got vladar and forester is getting healthy. Also need to figure out the defense with risto cam yorke and nick seeler. We have too many defenseman that are just so whatever. We need more guys who can make plays all we have is sanheim and drysdale its not gonna cut it. Hopefully this new guy can develop but not loving what I hear so far that hes big but isn't that physical. Too many nights this team just gets manhandled on the boards and destroyed in the face off dot

  10. I love all the professional GMs in the comments. This fanbase is hilarious 😂😂

  11. Colby Cohen said it best today about this Flyers org. Paraphrasing; You've got some old hangarounds in offices with titles that see the direction one way (old school), then Jonesy and Briere maybe wanting a rebuild-at least thats what they say,yhen you have a coach that wants to win now. THERE IS NO THROUGHLINE. Each part of this org is at odds with one another. Add in the fact they cannot for the life of them identify or draft talent-let alone decelop said talent. Why do people buy tickets?

  12. Danny is a smart GM. He knows the best thing for the Flyers is to get as high of a draft pick as they can this year; but at the same time, not let other teams fleece him for a player with value like Ristolainen. Good moves. The Flyers are in great hands.

  13. Risto sucks top 4 in Philly not a contender tho thats why hes still here 2 deadlines in row priced 2 high !

  14. I like Danny but we have to actually see something next year from this team. To me, that’s the playoffs. How long can you be in rebuild mode before it starts to show you built something?

  15. so who in the organization is the yelling asshole that lights fires under asses to push them? too much kuddos of mediocre inconsistent work. Is this a team of grown adults in a professional league or 8 year old recreational team. Everyone is just too nice.

  16. You had to trade Risto now ,or forget it . Hes been hurt too much , now that hes healthy ,did well at the Olympics- but Danny over valued him and this will bite them . I used to like Danny , but I think hes full of crap now

  17. Why didn't you trade Yorki and Barkey for Jiriceck. Brink is the most improved flyer over the last 3 years. What a mistake, again.

  18. Fans want 1st round draft picks. You got one. It’s a start. Trade deadline is buyers remorse time, so great that if a deal is not there, stand pat. Draft day and summer is the time to deal. Last summer was good. Patience is a virtue. Let’s see were we are in Oct 2026. Born in 1967, I too have been waiting a long time… but I can wait some more.
