If the moron Gregg Anton doesn’t like the direction of the team you can rest assure that the Flyers are doing very well.

You’re leaving out that this was a particularly weak draft year, so that 1st round could JUST as easily be a Patrick Stephan….just saying. Everybody posting seems to want to sound like an expert….with no GM job in the NHL…WAIT AND SEE…….

Just to clarify. The re-acquired picks don’t have to happen now, in a year or two+, is what I was implying.

Don’t see a first rounder coming back. Those first round picks become the stars of the NHL in 2/3 years. Also same with 2nd rounders. Wade Allison and Carter Hart were 2nds by Hextall.

@gregganton9512. Will you come back and eat crow if proven wrong?…. Highly unlikely.
Lost in your shuffle is the real possibility that Fletcher re-acquires those draft picks or better with future moves.

Come gregg! Think outside the box!

….Nah, wouldn’t want to think too positively now would we?

Lost in the shuffle was the fact that Fletcher gave up a First round draft pick that would have brought in a solid piece, even an outstanding future goaltender in the draft. Fletcher also gave up two 2nd round picks and a young Phillippe Myers who may have had some bad moments, but is still learning the game on the toughest position in hockey: Defense. Giving Gostisbehere and other assets away for no return was unbelievable and I’m sure Keith Allen must be turning over in his grave after that deal. I can see why the Flyers are falling in the latest power rankings and are now considered a poor 19th in the rankings.
