<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Moss_Bucket</b></div><div>We almost made the playoffs because our goaltending was good until our goalie got arrested on a potential sexual assault. After that our backup had to pick up the starting role and wasn't prepared. Defense was frequently injured and needs repairing.

We were in the top 3 in Metro for most of the year, so discrediting it as "everyone else just sucked and you sucked less" is pretty superficial. We had brushes of genuine good hockey, and beat multiple of the top teams in the NHL. We just lost all semblance of consistency at the point where it mattered most. Didn't help that Torts kept making questionable roster decisions throughout the stretch.</div></div>

your falling into the same trap OTT did when they went to the conference finals and ended up trading a 4th OA+ for duchene

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Moss_Bucket</b></div><div>I personally disagree, you need to keep a couple big guys on your team to help shape a style for the young guns to follow. TK plays that role as what people want a Flyer to be, so I think the two sticking together would be beneficial. However, if the Flyers get a good rebuild package offer then they need to take it.

A 1 for 1 Chychrun wouldn't really be that package.</div></div>

OTT would be offering something else than chych for TK and keeping him would be a big mistake, when rebuilding a team needs to trade players that will bring in the most to help the rebuild, TK is tradeable, couture is not without major retention. the way Briere is doing things, philly will remain a bubble team for 5+ years, not good enough to make the playoffs and not bad enough to get top end picks. Your Centers are most likely the worst in your division and your D aint that much better and your Gs are ooof. The only reason PHI sniffed the playoffs this year is because NJD craped out hard, NYI sucked for parts of the season and pens self imploded at the end.
