I do appreciate that Chuck Fletcher is emotionally divesting me from the Flyers experience before the season even starts.

@hinx My first thought when I saw the "non-human" biologics was that they recovered some Russian space hamsters or something stupid. Until someone shows me them alien bones I'm gonna reserve judgment.

Noah Cates, signed 2x$2.6M by PHI, is a pure shut-down centre who put up some pretty remarkable defensive results in tough second-line minutes on a crummy team this year. Will have to learn how to win faceoffs to get more Selke love, though. #Flyers

@J_Fahringer They are in the position where 100% of their contracts should go to undervalued upside plays. Give 1 year "show me" contracts to every cast off in the league and see who sticks. Marc Staal is cooked and gives you nothing (except maybe a late pick at the TDL)

[Andrew D @Drewski89]

Getting some serious "Torts gonna play him every single night" vibes from this Staal signing.

Next person to use the phrase "irons in the fire" gets a pie to the face.

@SoundFlyer14 Wasn't the first reporter to break the story a Blues beat?

[Andrew D @Drewski89]

@SoundFlyer14 I don't think the outcome changes whether or not the reporting happens.

[Andrew D @Drewski89]

@SoundFlyer14 Once the dust settled sure. But this started as "4 nhl pieces" with tons of names thrown around until it was clear the NTC was the main issue. Then it was process of elimination for journalists to figure out who was most likely hold out.

[Andrew D @Drewski89]

@SoundFlyer14 I very much doubt the deals are snagged up because they were vaguely leaked with uncertain details and constantly shifting names.
