@DarylMorty @TheFlyersZone Your own goalies country took Dostal over him haha. All around laughable

Philly hasn’t sniffed a cup in 50 years

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@DarylMorty @ducks2007quack @DanKnightly We have a 1D and two projected 2nd pairing Ds in solberg and luneau what are you talking about .. that doesn’t include hinds and warren

McQueen klepov and masse are quick movers too. Again, I’m sure you’d trade your depth for ANA ceiling, objectively

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@DarylMorty @ducks2007quack @DanKnightly ANA has one of the best young cores in the league when it comes to both the NHL and AHL/lower leagues haha .. better than PHI’s for sure

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@DarylMorty @ducks2007quack @DanKnightly You clearly don’t watch west coast hockey - all good .. will be fun to revisit in 3-5 years

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@DarylMorty @ducks2007quack @DanKnightly Sounds like you’re describing PHI

ANA with an elite 1C and 1D. Take that over PHI any day!

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@KwnStorm The leverage is zero quality FAs and teams that need wingers with experience lol

The ducks also don’t need to trade them, have you seen the structure of minty contract? Or the terry LTIR relief? Plenty of time

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@Nnubas ….?

You don’t have to sign an offer sheet. You also don’t have to file for arbitration.

Not saying he hates Philly or is unhappy, but not all sunshine and rainbows.

Arbitration is not good for relationships. He even avoided it w ANA. he’ll get paid more than he’s worth

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@Felix_Sicard Likely has a deal to shed kreider or vatrano

I’d rather have kept zelly on his 3AAV.

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@AndrewKnollNHL @PatrickCPresent @Felix_Sicard @ZachCav Says contracts aren’t related to Leo at all “in any shape or form” but then talks about market value all while not realizing new market value is being established with the Leo deal haha

Critical thinking is hard!

Happy fourth!

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@Felix_Sicard @ZachCav @PatrickCPresent what’s the reason teams don’t (or the ducks specifically) offer sheet zegras and/or drysdale while Phillys assets are tied up for the next 6 days?

They could really make it impossible for flyers to keep one if not both of them

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@soper30150 @ZachCav @SportingTrib Totally, definitely didn’t just want an egregiously player friendly deal that anybody would’ve signed

You PHI are comedy

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@AndrewKnollNHL @PatrickCPresent @Felix_Sicard @ZachCav Anything that was “close” has at the least taken a step back

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@todd_cory @Felix_Sicard @ZachCav @PatrickCPresent Better than any remaining FAs

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@AndrewKnollNHL @PatrickCPresent @Felix_Sicard @ZachCav I’m not sure what you’re saying.

They can’t be “close” with both or either when it all depends on Leo situation. Especially because the Leo situation they caused also significantly inflated Z and JD’s agents asks.

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@AndrewKnollNHL @PatrickCPresent @Felix_Sicard @ZachCav Sure, Leo also wanted to be a duck .. until he didn’t …

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@AndrewKnollNHL @PatrickCPresent @Felix_Sicard @ZachCav They are 100p tied up if they get Leo and teams offer sheet zegras and Jamie. They’ll go for 11 and 8-9MM respectively. If their agents are worth their weight. Even without Leo Z isn’t signing for less than 10

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@LAPCJK More I sit with it more I’m making peace with either option. Neither is doomsday

I do think it’ll be funny watching PHI fans go from convinced Leo is their guy to 180ing and saying ANA is so screwed for keeping him his so overrated

PV restructuring other guys deals will be huge

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@LAPCJK Again, it’s just whiners convincing themselves something needs to be whined about

It’s only Philly. Even EDM fans aren’t that bad

[Matt Payne @MattPayner]

@ZachCav @PatrickCPresent @Felix_Sicard Yeah, if I’m another team (like dallas or SJS) I’m jumping on both those guys while Philly is hung up
