Tony DeAngelo Traded To The Flyers


Recommended Posts

Don’t like this. Draft picks in the NHL are for the future more so than any other sport. We are good now, losing a blue liner of Tony’s caliber for a bag of lower picks is a toughy. 
 

We may strike gold with the picks but we had a really good d-man at a time when our cup window is open.

Not that I love it but we just had RFA rights. He could sign anywhere and we would get, you guessed it, picks. This is a smart move in that we let him go out and find his worth, 5mil per over 2 years. If we aren’t willing to do that, make the trade and get our picks now.
 

We can go into FA with this already handled, and know where we need to spend money.

The other thing is, he is a personality risk. Who knows where he is at on this better than the team.

Dumb. We will always be a poverty franchise with Dumbdon making moves like this. 

The team has been stagnant the past 4 seasons in the talent department. None or very little improvement in adding talent. Luckily it`s been during this window we have atm. However, you have to improve your team while everyone else is. We can`t stay the same or else we will get left behind. Teams will start to figure you out when you become limited or stuck with the same talent. Right now we are not a better team than last season.

I think TDA had something to do with this, to be honest. The fact he went back home, he ha and s a strong charity program and presence in Philly and I heard there was a family issue as well.

As I said earlier, it wouldn't surprise me he and Waddell had come to an understanding. After all, Philly was in need and we were probably very close to the same salary. So the Canes took the picks instead.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
