@WeintraubCole Not sure I buy that is a hard stop. Philly is close enough to an airport like Newark or either DC airport. This isn’t a pure geography issue. Phillies have other procurement problems, location in and of itself can’t be a material issue. Dig deeper.
@PuckReportNHL So Kevin Weekes just woke up one day and decided to make a video…zero chance. The Flyers control local media to a large extent but the truth finds a way.
@ADiMarco25 I think Torts provided a diagnosis that neither the organization nor he truly wanted to reveal. But he unearthed a lot, some of which was buried by upper management. Seeing those warts surface now.
@jceezz Weekes never said the Flyers knew about it. A lot of media people seem to be missing that entirely - which is basic AF. It was an intentional maneuver.
@MattGelb I think Dombrowski is past his expiration date. While he certainly has enormous institutional knowledge, the league and marketplace has passed him by. He is seemingly out of place.
Fumbling the Gauthier situation and now Mitchkov? Honestly, I’m sure these players aren’t perfect but for the love of God, unbelievable degree of mismanagement for this to keep happening.
**Breaking News** 🚨 📰
From multiple league sources, with the Flyers unimpressive start and internal turmoil, Michkov would likely want a new start elsewhere. He's in the last year of his contract & is a prime trade candidate moving forward. #HockeyX
@letmebefrankbro Compared to the Eagles, the Flyers are seemingly managed by a group of six-year-olds. Obviously different leagues with different rules but it’s just so stark. Imagine the Eagles holding onto their version of a Sean Couturier for 18 years.
@ADiMarco25 Option #3 or go even longer term but without any trade protection. Not like I'd want to move him any time soon, but lock him up and bake in flexibility later in time. Flyers need to stop handing out trade protections like Halloween candy - crippling to a roster over time.
Perfect example of “nobody cares if you were right if you happened to be right years before they realized.” People just move on and act like they never disagreed. The musicians who pandered to fans by making fun of his response helped facilitate the downfall of their own industry
