The Unending Flyers Thread

Richards is massively overrated by Flyers fans mostly for being a Flyers type of player.

I guess you can say they were the core of the 2009-2010 team, but that team also had a 22yo Giroux, Pronger, Kimmo, Gagne, Briere, and a 20yo JVR.

I liked Carter, but both of those trades were excellent and I don't think it's particularly close.

Damn Farabee just needed a cervical disc replaced. No bueno. My wife blew two cervical discs, had fusion surgery, and has permanent nerve damage from it. Hopefully his shoulder issues are related and alleviated with the surgery.

Again, why did Claude refuse to go to Colorado?? flyers would have had a better haul (reported) and he would have a cup ( not a supporter cup).

You never knew when you pick in advance. I'm guessing it was simple geography. Just comfortable (and closer to home) back East.

Also possible: the Panthers are run by Peter Luukko.

I still don't begrudge the Flyers taking Patrick, any team would have, but just once I'd like to see a Philadelphia team get the less-celebrated player who turns out to be better (i.e. Makar, Tatum. At least nobody in the 2016 MLB draft is a clear star).
