This was a frustrating presser to listen to. Regarding Laughts and Risto. I don't give a damn about anything except "What does this roster look like 3 years from now?" Both assets need to be leveraged for returns that will help with the rebuild. Also, Danny acts as if acquiring a real C to pair with Michkov is some sort of luxury. It should be the #1, top priority item on his agenda. Period. I like Danny, but he sounds like a guy who's thinking himself into a corner where making zero moves either at the deadline or in the off season is a real option. Just listen to him. Everything is NOW NOW NOW and "culture". He & Jonesy came in talking about the crucial need for top end talent, and have since plotted a course that excludes making moves to acquire top end talent. Lastly, the pathetic garbage media failed to ask even one question about making moves to move up in the draft - even though everyone knows he has 6 top 40-ish picks this year. Drafting high and getting elite players for the rebuild - or not - will determine whether he succeeds or fails in this job.
Not a single question asking Danny for an assessment of the 2025 draft class post-WJC, given their 6 picks in the top-40. No questions asking about the value of gaining another 1st round pick in the 25' draft at the deadline, versus accumulating draft capital in 2026. The "journalists" in this city are completely out to lunch with drilling down on the right questions.

Sean couturier makes more money than Adrien Kempe Nico Hischier Zach Hyman Tage Thompson Clayton Keller Anze Kopitar Brad Marchand Aaron Ekblad He makes the same amount as Quinn Hughes Cole Caufield Jack Hughes JT Miller Jesper Bratt Nick Suzuki He has consistently averaged less than 12 minutes of ice time and is a shell of his former self. he has scored in 5 games this year having played 45. The flyers have to pay him until 2030. It's gonna be hard to compete until then with contracts like that. (I know scoring isnt everything, but if you know anything about the sport, you understand that he is at this point in his career, a bottom 6 center) He is not a terrible hockey player by any means, but you can not argue he is not wildly overpaid for what he is. Back surgery is no joke.
First of all: who's Adam Kempe? Second: do people just forget that Couturier didn't play hockey for two years? He came back last season for his first (almost) full season, putting up 11g - 27a - 38p in 74 gp; not amazing, but the team wasn't either. This year he's already at 8g - 15a - 23p in 45gp: over an 82-game season, that's a pace of 14 goals, 27 assists, and 41 points, or roughly the same as last season. I think, however, that his play overall has looked as though it's slowly and steadily improved over the course of the season so far - which tracks with a long, arduous recovery - and I think he'll start racking up more points here in the latter half. I have no delusions that he'll return to the player he once was (although it would please me greatly to watch all the Coots haters eat their words), but you're talking out of your ass if you think he'll never be better than a bottom-6 center again.
@@kygo_tothepolls I respect your opinion. I just disagree. His back surgery is concerning. The fact he plays less than 15 minutes on a non playoff team is concerning. He has 8 goals this year, but has only scored in 5 games with 3 of them coming in one game (one being an empty net). he has recorded a goal in 5 games out of 45. he has 15 assists so he isnt necessarily dishing it either. its not just the stats. It's the eye test where he looks slow and stiff. I understand where you are coming from. hes not an awful player but if you think his output is worthy of a top 6 center spot or getting paid about 8 million a year, you are delusional. I know what he used to be, but he is just not simply the same player. He is definitely not getting better at his age and with his injury history. Similar to last year, he started off ok and has completely tailed off as the season goes on. that will only continue to happen as the years go on until 2030
@ I think this response is frankly ridiculous - just reiterating everything you said in your original comment without any consideration to my reply. We also simply disagree in our evaluations of the player based on our individual eye tests. So the only place to go from here is just to watch what he does on the ice the rest of this season. Like I said, I think he's improving and will continue to. I could be wrong - I often am - but what I *know* is that when people evaluate him like you have, they simply don't have the requisite patience for a player in his situation.
I would think that the goalie should be the last person you blame, there's way too much ice out in front of him that's not his responsibility. Yeah I guess it would be okay if they made the playoffs but I think now is a perfect time to play Fedotov more so we can see what kind of a groove he can get into.
It's the leadership for the young guys & locker room presence. That's a role on a team that isn't tracked on the stat sheets. You need someone for the young guys to look up to, not for their skills, but their knowledge.
Reality check. Trades don’t happen in January in the NHL. They’ve both been at the very least decent and as mentioned valuable to the young guys in the locker room so I don’t think we should sell them for nothing. But if around the trade deadline, there are contending teams that are desperate for those players, I trust Danny to make the right move
@@cmz5847Ok then we’ll have to wait until then to see if teams are going to want to make big moves for these players. And like Danny said if the move is good enough to justify their movement they’ll be moved for future assets. I don’t understand the dissatisfaction from your original comment
Bang on about Luchanko & Bonk. Dave Cameron and Canada’s mis-management was a joke the entire tourney. As much as I like Risto and think he’s a really good defensive dman… I believe you trade him. Whether that’s next year or the year after. Hope another dman comes up and takes his place for way less money. But that’s a big hole to fix. You also have to trade Farabee, there’s no debate for that. Same goes for Laughton. With Frost there’s something there and I believe in him. Keep him. If Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow can fetch a 1st round pick, then all these players should also get a 1st rounder in return. Sign Cates long term. He proved he should be here for the future. 6x4.5M and sign the other 3 RFA’s. They’re apart of the long term. Frost shown he can be that 2-3C. Once contending if Cates is your 4C that’s outstanding. Send Kolosov to the AHL, if he runs away then sayonara. Ersson has really good numbers past 6 games.
6 years for your projected 4th liner? Frost Danny himself said he was missing the first 25 games of the season. This is the first time we have seen this pattern with him in his 6 years of being a pro, correct? Soumd like you got it all figured out, and everyone else is in agreement. Keep up the excellent work.
@ Lundell on Florida is a 3C. He got 6 years. Seems like they’re doing pretty good. Hintz is a 3C on Dallas and got 8 years. Seems like they’re doing pretty good. Roy is a 3C on Vegas. He got 5 years. Seems like they’re doing pretty good. Cirelli got 8 years, Paul got 7 years. They’re 2 and 3C’s in Tampa. When Cirelli signed that deal he was their 3C. Seems like they’re doing pretty good. Gaudreau is a 3C on Minny and got 5 years. If Cates is your 3 or 4C it works. Do it. He literally just said that he plans on frost being apart of the future. If that changes, who knows. He’s taken another step forward again. Thanks man, I’m actually quite amazed how much you’re learning
Too much term for Catsie.. As for Frost, was he on our rode trip to the apple. I couldn't find him watched both games entirely. Well, your trade bait, I agree on, but Frost and Laughton need to be there also, along with a 1st and 2nd round pick 4 25 24 26 year old proven nhl guys with size bite skill and legs. Also a extremely hard push for Chycrun with freed up cap space.
Disagree on Cates. lol everyone was invisible the past 2 games. You’re going to have ups and downs in a rebuild. I have laughton there. Go back and re-read. Draft picks are whatever, I’m talking about the current roster players. Nah, chychrun has always been overrated imo. He’s fine but not “hard push” good. Every time I watch him play I see nothing that special especially in the d-zone and going to get overpaid come this summer.
@yurk21 How can u not like Chicklets 6 2 2hundy can skate physical plays heavy shot reads the play. We gotta move Frost hockey 101 he has no balls compete or fire in his belly. You cant teach that. We can't spend a another dime on him or give him anymore time hes 25.
So not shopping Risto, Laughts is near untouchable, gotta be "careful" with Frost, Cates is back in the penthouse... this does not sound like a GM that is ready to trade anybody for draft assets.
If he doesn’t trade some of these 30 year olds for the teams future I’m going to be pissed. It’s looking like the same season I’ve seen the past decade. Barely miss the playoffs and get a bad pick.
stop sitting on ur hands Danny we know its tough to find a centerman its tough to find a right handed D man its tough to find a goaltender but make it happen that's ur job ,I almost fell asleep listening to this nonsense
I swear to Jesus Christ if this team doesn’t start making moves for the future I’m never watching this sorry ass franchise again. I am so tired of watching this team finish with a pick out of the top 10 and getting stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.
When are we signing McDusty? Just got 3 game suspension for trying to take out opposing player. We need that kind of sandpaper. I guess his skill might come in handy too -- even though according to every beat reporter "we just need a goalie" -- which suggests that we're set, as far as skill. lol OK
Jamie Drysdale: 2024-25 Season GP: 35 Goals: 2 Assists: 9 +/- : -14 (at one point this season, he had the worst plus minus out of 700 skaters in the nhl not long ago) Career +/- : -75 in 180 games (wild statistic). MINUS s e v e n t y f i v e in less than 200 games Hes been in the league for 6 seasons now, despite how we tend to treat him like some sort of rookie. At what point do we severely worry about him and what he actually is as an nhler? hes clearly not an offensive guy at this point and is a liability in the defensive zone. I am hoping I am completely wrong as a diehard, but I am worried about it.
@@ryanmckeon6728 I hope youre right although Reilly is 6'1 and consistently put up 30 assists in his first 6 years and 72 points with a +24 in his 6th year where Jamie is now

Yours is a weak take. He's had injury troubles. He only last year at this time finally got to a REAL org with real coaches. The question with Drysdale isn't "what is he now", it's "where will he be 2 yrs from now after getting real development when Danny's draft picks are starting to integrate into the roster".
Not interested in making the playoffs, just want to win the Stanley Cup. The captain gets 10 minutes a game. And Jamie has 2 goals. Okay. Excuse me while i visit my hidden liquor vault in the back of my office 🤯

Nah, chychrun has always been overrated imo. He’s fine but not “hard push” good. Every time I watch him play I see nothing that special especially in the d-zone and going to get overpaid come this summer.
@yurk21 How can u not like Chicklets 6 2 2hundy can skate physical plays heavy shot reads the play.
We gotta move Frost hockey 101 he has no balls compete or fire in his belly. You cant teach that.
We can't spend a another dime on him or give him anymore time hes 25.
So not shopping Risto, Laughts is near untouchable, gotta be "careful" with Frost, Cates is back in the penthouse... this does not sound like a GM that is ready to trade anybody for draft assets.
Yeah this sounds like a gm that cares too much about personal relationships with players. Bad sign.
Both you and replier @sirfish9824 are OUT. TO. LUNCH. You want Danny to sell for the sake of selling - intensely glad neither of you is my GM 🤣
This isn't a real rebuild
What about the girl on the wheelchair??😢
G Ers has looked great lately......its a team game guys.
Maybe Playoff Frosty would be an even better player than second half Frosty like Danny B in the playoffs…
Flyers won't do a real rebuild but they'll give themselves the "culture" Stanley Cup instead which is more important anyway.
I think Briere is one of the best managers in the show
If he doesn’t trade some of these 30 year olds for the teams future I’m going to be pissed. It’s looking like the same season I’ve seen the past decade. Barely miss the playoffs and get a bad pick.
Time will tell
@@sirfish9824yep
Fedotov needs to play.....the other NHL teams would love to steal him.
He can play for the Phantoms
The sad truth is if Briere suited up he would still score more goals than brink and Jamie combined
And that’s why I want us to tank because the only players worth a damn are tk and Michkov everyone else is a below average role player.
When are we gonna trade Laugton & Risto away ?
Laughton never Risto Summer
“Glue guys”
One can only hope!
@@AndrewGoldenberg-dl3fewhy? Laughton won’t be on this team when we can compete for a cup.
Sounds good
Ron Hextall JR
stop sitting on ur hands Danny we know its tough to find a centerman its tough to find a right handed D man its tough to find a goaltender but make it happen that's ur job ,I almost fell asleep listening to this nonsense
He can't find a 1C without tanking which they refuse to do. This rebuild isn't going to work.
I swear to Jesus Christ if this team doesn’t start making moves for the future I’m never watching this sorry ass franchise again. I am so tired of watching this team finish with a pick out of the top 10 and getting stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.
Playoffs? 🐣
I’m trusting you Danny B
When are we signing McDusty? Just got 3 game suspension for trying to take out opposing player. We need that kind of sandpaper. I guess his skill might come in handy too -- even though according to every beat reporter "we just need a goalie" -- which suggests that we're set, as far as skill. lol OK
Jamie Drysdale:
2024-25 Season
GP: 35
Goals: 2
Assists: 9
+/- : -14 (at one point this season, he had the worst plus minus out of 700 skaters in the nhl not long ago)
Career +/- : -75 in 180 games (wild statistic). MINUS s e v e n t y f i v e in less than 200 games
Hes been in the league for 6 seasons now, despite how we tend to treat him like some sort of rookie. At what point do we severely worry about him and what he actually is as an nhler? hes clearly not an offensive guy at this point and is a liability in the defensive zone. I am hoping I am completely wrong as a diehard, but I am worried about it.
Gott be patient with defenseman Morgan Reilly had same issues when he was younger
@@ryanmckeon6728 I hope youre right although Reilly is 6'1 and consistently put up 30 assists in his first 6 years and 72 points with a +24 in his 6th year where Jamie is now
@@AM-hj3ovwas Riley 22 in his 6th year where 2 of those years were lost to injuries and covid? Dude isn’t 27 in his 6th year he is 22, to say he is done and can’t progress when defensemen usually don’t even get called up until 22 is wild!
@ he was 24... but fair take
Yours is a weak take. He's had injury troubles. He only last year at this time finally got to a REAL org with real coaches. The question with Drysdale isn't "what is he now", it's "where will he be 2 yrs from now after getting real development when Danny's draft picks are starting to integrate into the roster".
Can we ban click bait hungrylion from all Flyers videos😂 Give me a thumbs up if you wish we could!
Not interested in making the playoffs, just want to win the Stanley Cup. The captain gets 10 minutes a game. And Jamie has 2 goals. Okay. Excuse me while i visit my hidden liquor vault in the back of my office 🤯
You really should do that more. Some of your posts are just vitriol for no reason. Lighten up a little.
Do us all a favor and try to finish the whole bottle in under 5 minutes
Brink is exciting. Its so exciting that hes a 10 goal scorer. Maybe i should try out
Not everything is about goals…flyers fans are such simple minded people
@@jjjfo1818”some” flyers fans about 90% understand what the team is trying to achieve and the other 10 percent just like to bitch and complain
Brink is exciting! 18 20 goals this year 25 plus next year
@@jjjfo1818yeah but he’s small, can’t score, slow skater, all he can really do is forcheck and even that he’s not that good at.

Final seconds, we're not trying to get rid of Scott Laughton but we called up abols because we're trying to get rid of Scott Laughton
@@hungrylion8703 I guess u escaped the asylum
we called up abols because poehling is on IR
@@bernielo.ax8 that right. Another 2 goal scorer who is a waiver
@hungrylion8703 baited
Luchanko performed great at the WJC. He was the worst player on the team. He had no business being on that team. Its all hype. He cant make the ahl.
He scored the best goal of the tournament for the team on the penalty kill…
Poorly constructed troll comment
You sound really intelligent
Risto has been so good for us. Hes an ahler. Doesn't hit. Doesn't score goals. Doesn't do pp. But hey he's great 👍
Have you seen today’s NHL? Risto hits someone he gets suspended, hitting isn’t allowed anymore
top 15 in hits amongst d men . and plays on the power play. watch more games
@@bernielo.ax8 last on the team in almost every defensive category. Watch more games.

17 minutes in and finally we're at Frosty The No Man and Fairy Farabee the 2 softest forwards in the league. Haven't gotten to Jamie yet coz save the worst for last
"I have to phone the Russian oligarchy up to see if i can send koly to the ahl. Oh wait, i already did that and they said no. Then they laughed at me and said im a mouse"
Kolosov is from Belarus not Russia
Bonk skates in cement. They tried him as qb on pp in WJC. Failed miserably so they moved him to screen the goaltender. Failed. He won't make the Flyers next year
At least you are consistent with your stupidity
Id trade Bonk to move up and draft a center, ideally Frondell
lol
Awful take yet again
