Tkackuk, Chycrun and another experienced Russian forward well suited with Michkov even if he's just a locker room presence for both 1st rounders and Farabee, Sandstrom and Tuomala. Just a thought.

Torts can't change too much on how he's already been coached in the KHL and he will have to keep his cool with this kid while working on his 200ft game. Patience please!!

Correction. I think you meant to say a massive great choice to give a long term extension to T. K! Right pumpinking?

It'll be part of what defines GMDB tenure here as to what he does with TK. A longterm extension would be a massive mistake.

When Torts gives Michkov the Brink, Frost treatment he's going to say screw this I am going back to khl...Torts could possibly destroy the future of this organization...I honestly believe he is the reason we don't have cutter.

Oh... he's gonna be a special one no dout.... and the way the flyers are going about this there's nothing but great things coming

Crazy to me how indifferent the KHL is to a player like Michkov, they usually worship that type of young star. But hey, their loss is our gain - he won't be lacking for attention when he does end up over here. *Question:* HB mentioned (so, it could be entirely imaginary) Flyers are still kicking on some of the Ottawa D-men especially Chychrun who I feel like always gets linked to us - say that is a goal, obviously he plays top 4 with Sanny, York, Drys. Seeler has the extension, not really going anywhere. But then you have ONE spot on the third pair for Zamula or Attard with Risto feeling like the odd-man-out based on his salary. But that also makes him hard to move. Is this ACTUALLY a situation that makes sense for us? Also funny because Eric Johnson felt like a good veteran presence that helped stabilize us, and in another situation I'd like to see him back - but in THIS situation ... what in the world are we doing with this defensive logjam?! Trade or not. I also formally request that you stop trying to trigger us with Marner trade suggestions, which are more evil each time they come up. 🤣

I think he gets 50-60 points if he plays all 82 games

There’s names out there that we should be looking at. Not top talent which isn’t really available.. but two players that would be immediate upgrades and build around what we have intact. Keep konecny and trade coots Laughton and risto to set it off.

I wouldn't want marner on Flyers. Just don't feel hes a fit here but never know. Contact is hard to eat too

I wouldn't even mind if he didn't come until next year, that gives us time to get a few dead contracts gone and a couple other like Atkinsons ending after next season. We gotta get cap under control

Foerster- Poehling- Michkov this season. Get a 1C next season for him when we have cap already freed up. Don’t waste assets to get cap space one year early.

Paying off Russian officials doesn't count towards the cap 😅.

If it is confirmed he is coming, should they pursue a vet Russian, that makes senses from a roster make up standpoint, to help him acclimate. Dont know any names off the top of my head though

Tippett-Frost-Michkov

They cant get ahead of themselves and start signing all sorts of players. Michkov is the FIRST piece, not the final piece. They need to suffer the first few years and not try to accelerate this fake "rebuild".

The goal that won the 6th game and Stanley Cup winner was: A snapshot from the point by Moose Dupont, and it looked like he originally scored from the point. McLeash, tipped it in, but most of us did not notice the tip.

Cant wait for Torts to scratch Michkov for "not doing enough away from the puck". Gotta be a "200 foot player" for Torts like future hall of famer Pails!!....lol.

This was a done deal weeks ago when rumors started. I love the 5 teams besides Chi there fans are crying that Flyers fixed this and he wont be good fucking comical. Flyers finally have realize u need European talent and there going nuts with Russian players. 20 picks next 2 drafts. Dont waste a season lets get this going. Jason I'm the guy on twitter who doesn't like Torts. He started to turn me off when he kept jerking players in and out and the younger ones who I wanted to see develop but then doesn't fire Rocky Thompson cause he's his buddy. There PP was so bad that 99% of the teams would have fired him and Thompson is terrible whereever he has been and before people say we'll Flyers talent we'll they freaking got 90pts so they must have sum talent. Thompson was with Vegas and Vegas had alot of talent and there PP was so bad. As soon as he was canned it improved so much. Something like that shows u it's not all about the talent Thompson stinks and Torts is bringing him back it's mind boggling

Bring on the Mad Russian!! Finally must-watch Flyers games. I haven't felt like this since we got Lindros.

Has anyone considered hiring the London Knights scouting team? They seem to have a really good handle on finding talent.

Danny needs to keep bringing in more players with speed. I think we can all agree that teams with speed are usually the better teams. Sure you need talent, goaltending, and coaching too but speed can make up for those a little bit. I agree with all of Jason's comments as not being in the playoffs affects me too.

I 100% disagree. This team is nowhere near being ready to start acquiring next step players in trades. Last season was a mirage and hurt them in the long run. It fooled the front office (and Jason apparently) into thinking they are better than they are.

“Uhhhmmm” - Any hockey player

Do you think Flyers are in a spot yet to do that big move? I don't yet, I think we should wait another year until Atkinson is off books and a few dead contracts also come off. We gotta get the cap in a good spot with the players we want to build with. Again I believe that's not for my opinion is not this upcoming season but next and hopefully by then we can shed dead contracts, bad contracts , and players we just don't want and hopefully have a good foundation when Mitchov comes over and then we make a couple bigger moves.

Playoff hockey is amazing, but playoff hockey in PHILLY is another damn level, and I live in TN.

Laughton should have been dealt two years ago. Guys like him are a dime a dozen.

Can you talk about kolosov potentially going back to the khl? Ty

Yes Sir.. you have been knighted Jason!

They do not make em like this anymore that’s for sure. Enjoy retirement big man, you deserve it Wayne 🚂!!!!

The Flyers Will take a stepback like New Jersey this year, they're not make playoffs and its a good thing they're not ready for that look the lineup no chance, maybe Will have a top five Pick in 2025

Who knows frost came on strong after a slow start he has a good skill set........maybe he jumps up a notch and he and drysdale get the power play clicking.....70 points would be possible in that scenario.....things can change.....mitchkov and frost could be good.....at this time of year we can dream man.......GO FLYERS YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

My bf

I can see him hitting 60 on a GOOD flyers team.........he is surely a mercurial player. Go flyers I'm still with you in rough times if drysdale develops and stays healthy he could be something good for our defense...we need a real goalie most of all......maybe we snag a good player in the draft.....so damn sad the way they faded in the stretch.....we had that playoff spot all year.... at one point they were even close to the rangers....about 50 games in.......rats. oh well see you in september guys keep believing I still am!

He has been a decent NHL role player. He had a couple of decent scoring years but he was surrounded by more talent. The Flyers are a mess they can’t draft they can’t trade and they can’t develop. They are the perpetual average NHL franchise

He's one of the ones that couldn't keep it in his pants. Hart should be jailed, Hockey Canada should be ashamed.

Very skilled player.

I also think Morgan Frost can get over 60 points

You said it right, the Flyers lack high-end playmaking skills and Frost has those skills more than any other Flyer. I love Torts but he is out of his fricking mind when he puts Poehling out on the power play over Frost.

Biggest con going….. used car salesman! Comcast cares about nothing but making money 💵…. Fan experience is giving them more of it!

Evidence of the important of late first rounders: look at how Wyatt Johnston is doing right now with the Stars. Went at 21 or 22 or something. Pretty nuts. No matter what, this projects to be the most exciting Flyers offseason in a LONG time. Feels like they have a stocked cupboard, a plan and a dream.

Great comment by Bill about the importance of the second first round pick. The comparison to Richards and Carter spring-boarding the franchise was apt!

Great comments Bill on how players and teams mentally click.

I think this could be one of the more critical off seasons in recent history. With the Mad Russian coming over in a year or two and how they surround him. Seen teams like Minnesota struggle having consistency with Kiprisov and the team around him. Them signing Parise and Suter to long term contracts and not working out did not help the Wild. With this off season not having any major current free agents but with TK a year away they are talking about extending him long term. Does Tk become a big star player or become another Parise.

Should I sub cause I’m a pens fan

Frost will break 60 easily when he plays with a true goal scorer. He is a playmaker. He’s not going to dazzle with shots, but he will with passing. Right now he is passing to shit.

Frost will easily hit 60 plus points once he realizes that he needs to play 82 games and once and for all prove he's not a potential scratch candidate!

Coots handled it just fine. It was Johnald Trumporella that acted like a child

I'm super excited for this coming season!
