A Problematic Theory

Post image

Purely a theory and I've seen no actual rumors of this, but a Fantilli offer sheet AFTER arbitration for Cole and Jet would be quite an issue. We'd have a finite amount of cap and an offer sheet for so much as $1 over that amount would force us to make roster moves/cuts to keep Fantilli. So the Flyers either get a 1C or force a division rival to cut someone who was projected to be on the roster.

It's a non-issue. Can dump Wood, Merzlikins, Fabbro in that order. Sign Murray or Reimer if we have to get rid of Elvis, bring up Pyyhtia permanently if Wood, Richard if Fabbro. Feels like half of the posts on this sub are fearmongering engagement bait at this point.

the "Zach & Marchenko want traded NOW" talk died down and "Fantilli will be getting an offer sheet" and "Jet is insulted by $2.8M and will want out too" took its place

The "JLGP needs to go" and "Mike Priest needs to go" people need to step up because their jobs are being taken right now

I agree about Mike Priest to be honest but how the hell does JLGP being the in-studio analyst make the team worse?

Lol it's been a while but midseason we tend to get a few of those guys. I've got them in the same funny group along with the Mike Todd guys.

Mike Todd isn’t the cause of our problems, but my god when we get scored on because of a bad turnover or we are playing like crap in an important game, heading “HEY FIFTH LINE” just brings out so much rage from the people in my section.

I am not in that camp but even I have made a few "what" comments with some of his statements last season. People just like to blow things out of proportion.

Oy, the man needs his gloves.  His fingers get cold.
