    When Fletcher was hired @NHLFlyers had ~$9m cap space, were at ~$70.6m. With pretty flexible situation going fwd. 3.5 years later? Capped out at $82.5m. Likely will use LTIR to be compliant. One of older teams in league. No elite talent. Bottom 10 roster on paper. #Flyers

    Wow. Amazing. @nhlflyers just got a player who is FIRST overall material in most drafts. Brave? Maybe. But I dont think so at #7. He has very high odds of being a superstar. He has most talent in Flyers org since LINDROS. #Flyers #NHL

    That is beyond my wildest expectations for Laughton. A+++ return. Grebenkin is a very good prospect. Has his warts but you can see what he CAN be if things go well. In @khl and @TheAHL has flashed enormously. #Flyers

    Okay. Wow. That is a fantastic return for @NHLFlyers in my eyes. 1st and Grebenkin? Grebenkin is a guy who might guy have 50 point #NHL upside if things go well. Right away a top ~5 #Flyers prospect.

    I just realised @NHLFlyers Wayne Simmonds has NEVER been suspended by @NHL. Pretty amazing really. 866 games 1154 PIM 272 minors 62 majors 60 fights 25 misconducts 4 game misconducts 2 match penalties Tough, gritty, but overall considering his role, pretty clean. #Flyers

    No idea how Michkov coming to Voorhees to meet with @NHLFlyers was kept under wraps. Must have been in middle of night or through a service door or something aha. Seems like he wanted to be a #Flyers and the feeling was mutual.
