Good episode guys. I just hope the Flyers can add a Calder to their trophy case this season.

[@dave-rf2vn]

Hello guys from hot humid Toronto and come tomorrow a wet Wednesday

He hits100 points rookie year Michov Shock us all Raises everyone's Game

[@stackaleak]

Speaking of Laughton, I somehow get the feeling he will be 38 years old some day and still be a member of the Flyers. I think he has the most time in Philly out of all 4 sports teams.

[@ericwisniewski5651]

He becomes Mike Richard's were going to the cup

Oh, honey....this is not 'leaning in'

21-22. Season under Fletcher was the exact opposite of a Rebuild. In the Summer of 21 Flyers went all out to be as competitive as possible adding Ellis and So many veterans. 22-23 they were criticized for not having a definite plan, on some occasions stating Rebuild most often stating retool. This Season was contridictive and unstable. As already stated on this page , Rebuild started with the hiring of Danny Briere and nothing sooner. I appreciate your Podcast, with all of the research and Sacrificing you do because you give us hockey year round. But I'm afraid your presupposition regarding an all out and Complete Rebuild and your contempt for it causes you to make a statement Briere is headed towards the fourth year of the Rebuild. Thanks for the coolest game on earth in the hottest time of the year.

Elliote Freidman reported there could be issue with kolosov. It’s Not made up internet stuff

[@unholyhairdo64]

There def was some sort of issue. However, Kolosov recently (I believe) posted a picture on one of those social media platforms wearing a Phantoms jersey & his airbrushed Flyers mask. I feel for him, it’s not easy going to a new country not speaking the language. Most likely he’ll be here for training camp, being that he is under contract and can’t play anywhere else. Well he can, but he will be penalized. No international competition.

[@dave-rf2vn]

Hey guys do you think the NHL will eventually compensate the teams with the London police probe ..I won't mention the what the issue is.. because it's been talked about too much already

[@flyersnittygritty]

Maybe, it would be the right thing, but seems like they want to ignore it.

[@JR-tg1vg]

Let’s go Flyers!!!

[@yossarian1385]

Pointing out the obvious: Year 2 of the rebuild began July 1. Rebuild began when Danny was hired. Chuck never rebuilt, never wanted to.

[@flyersnittygritty]

The trade of Giroux (Getting Tippett +1st) and Drafting Cutter at #5 was the beginning. Clearly that was the mandate as he was being shown the door. Thank you for listening

[@yossarian1385]

@@flyersnittygritty Chuck refused to say rebuild and only spoke of making the playoffs until his last day. The Giroux trade was his best move, but it was one move. Flyers drafted 5th because they were terrible, not because anyone plotted that course. The furthest back the rebuild could be said to have begun was when Dan Hilferty was hired at the beginning of 2023. Rebuild means intent to do so. Neither Chuck nor his boss ever intended to rebuild.

lol thanks for listening!

[@AM_92_AM]

I agree.. Russ spits out hot garbage. He might have the worst takes.

[@pumpkinking5174]

So far this isn't a rebuild. Rebuilding teams don't waste roster spots on a 37 year old defenseman or extending a mid 30s 4th line plug. Rebuilding teams also dont entertain extending a winger to a massive 8 year deal that said winger will be going into his age 29 season when it kicks in. Its a disjointed retool.

[@vasiligianarakos1261]

Going to have to disagree there. They'll have the second youngest team in the league next season. And they've acquired multiple picks for 2025. Pretty clear what they're trying to do. You can't just ship out every single veteran. You need some of those guys to help the young players develop and assimilate to the NHL level. Look at teams that tore it down completely to the studs in the past and sure there's some success stories but it isn't fool proof. Just look at the Sabres for example. Thanks for listening!

[@pumpkinking5174]

@vasiligianarakos1261 Let's compare the Flyers prospect pool vs the Blackhawks and how that prospect pool was acquired. Again, if you aren't tearing it down which clearly Comcast won't do, threading that needle in finding high end talent becomes infinitely harder. I wish Breire lots of luck but I'm very skeptical in his approach so far.
