• 1:03

• 1:05
  Speaker 2: relations to Shane Gotsis Bear the Stanley Copley I'm doing here,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but it's been a good summer enough Flyer stuff to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: talk about and go on, so always a good time
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to come.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: On with you. Jesff. I love how you mentioned Shane
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Gossis Fair. I tell people and we mentioned it before.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I still have my fiftieth anniversary Flyers jersey and it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a Shane Gossas Fair jersey. I will continue to wear
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that for the rest of my life. I really Will
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it's a classic.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It's a classic.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Jury absolutely absolutely look all right. To get into this
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Flyers off season, you know, we've been talking about it
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a bit on this podcast platform, but really wanted to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: dive into some contracts right off the bat and what
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they're going to mean for this team, in this organization
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: long term. If it was interesting how Jason over at
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: broad Street Hockey wrote a good piece this week about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: how missing out on Leo Carlson you know, doesn't ruin
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the Flyers off season. It was a little disappointing for sure,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: but this Flyers off season has not been terrible by
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination. Ryan and I wanted to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: get your thoughts and get into the Tyson Forrester extension
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: eight years, fifty six point eight million dollars. With regard
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to this extension, I think it's a positive. I think
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a key component of what this
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: team can be in the future as Tyson Forster continues
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to develop his game in various ways. What do you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: think this means for the team long term?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Here, I completely agree. I think it's a fantastic contract.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Danny Brayer, the Flyers kind of just snuck it in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: there on July first, no one really got to talk
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: about it, got to complain about Noah Chari got to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: planning not to do anything else than the Leo Carlson thing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But Tyson Forrester, you know, twenty twenty four years old,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: he's right, he's going to be one of these core
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: players for the team. If this team becomes a contender,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: he's going to be a core player. And as the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: salary cap rises here, that seven point one million dollar
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: cap hit is going to look better and better, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's really a win win for the player in the team. Now,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Tyson Forster, we saw the injury last year. Anything with
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: with joints, you know, knees, shoulders, elbows, whatever, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: they can come back and nag you there a little bit.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But Tyson Forrester has already had a twenty five goal season.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He's averaging twenty five goals per eighty two games. So
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: even if he is just like a good third line winger,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: which I think is his absolute floor, you know, that's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: not a bad contract for that, and he could become
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with the right line mate's a top line guy. I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: think he's probably a second line guy on a good
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: contending team. But at seven point one million, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: sticker shock a little bit as we get used to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: this new salary cap. But I think he's the perfect
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: encapsulation of this rebuild too. Like he's shown some flashes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: had some bad luck, but all in all, it's you're
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: positive about him, absolutely yeah. And it shows that he
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: is untouchable. It's come out before like, Okay, the Flyers
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: don't want to trade Forester. He's untouchable, but they sign
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: him to that contract. I don't think there's a way
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: they moved him now.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely there's a belief in him. I mean this contract
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: solidifies that belief, I think, and moving along in terms
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of believing in players of the long term. Dan Vladar,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the you know, star goolie on this team. He needed
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to be extended. Danny Brier has done that with a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: new five year extension that kicks in actually next year.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I honestly thought, I'm glad that this happened, But I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: thought Danny Brier and company they were going to give
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Ladar another year, you know, to see if that might
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: be the best move. What happens if he gets injured.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's always out there in the back of front office's minds.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But Danny Brier wanted to get the best dollar value possible.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I think he certainly did that. What are your thoughts
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on the Dan Vladar extension and even what he inevitably
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: means long term and down the road for this organization.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm also cautiously optimistic about this. When I first
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: came out, like why are we signing Ladar already?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: One good season, one great season, you know, a shoutout
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to win a playoff series against the Penguins there, But
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it is just one season, and I, like you, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: would like to I would like to see them, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: go into October, even December, make sure he still has
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: this even if you have to pay six seven million
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: instead of five and a half. Yeah, to have that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to have that confidence that it's going to be more
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: than one year. But then I looked at, you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: goalie contracts around the league, and I think this puts
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: them around like fifteenth to twentieth in the league, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that's probably where he is. He's not going to be
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a top five, top ten goalie for the long haul,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: like of Aasilevski or a Soroken, but col give this
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: team a chance to win and I think just his
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: calming presence on the ice, is presidence in the locker
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: room really made it hard for the front office. They
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: kind of got back into her corner where they, yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we gotta gotta keep this guy happy. He's been a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: big part of it. So five years it's a long time,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: but five and a half million is not too long.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Do you think there is Do you think there's a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: psychological aspect to this? Because I was thinking about this
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: as well, and what I mean is the goalie position
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: on this Flyers team and the absolute trials and tribulations
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: when you look at the fact that Steve Mason was
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: probably one of the most solid goalies for this organization
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: in quite some when he was on the team, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he wasn't necessarily the most perfect goalie in the world.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: There really aren't that many. But I wonder if there's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a psychological aspect of Wow, we saw what we saw
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: from Dan Vladdar this season, we got to just lock
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: him up because we can't have a situation like we
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: had with like Brisgola for years ago, years and years ago.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I wonder if there's a psychological aspect of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this when it comes to the actual goalie position itself.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's something I've been thinking about.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: That's a great point there. I think there has to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: be I think anytime you're talking about goalies in Philadelphia,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: it's going to be until we get another solid one,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and even after that they're okay. Was it a fluke
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a We're going to go back to having all these
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: different goalies. And Freere himself, you know, he saw Michael Layton,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: he saw the Priscala Babrowski stuff as a player. So yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I would rather take a slight a slight risk with
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Flatar than rather, you know, piss him off and let
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: him walk and then go start this cycle all over again.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly. All right, Well, moving along here before we have
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to get to our first break here, speaking of the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: goalie position, I do like what Danny Brier did in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: terms of the backup goalie position moving forward here, getting
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: rid of sam Erson, bringing in Joseph Wall via that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: trade with Toronto. Ryan Wall's numbers been a lot better
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: than sam Erson's in terms of save percentage, of course,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: over the past two years. I'm just wondering, like, what
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: kind of backup do you think Wall is going to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: be for Dan Vladar might we see him earlier in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the season to make sure that Vladar is a little
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: more fresher come, you know, potentially playoff time. What are
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: your thoughts here about this particular goalie situation in the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: backup here.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like this tandem. I think there's a
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: high ceiling here where it can be one of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: better tandem's, true tandems in the league when you take
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: out those, you know, top top goalies. Because sam Erson
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: loved him, I wish he was better here. But I've
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: viewed Joseph Wall going into this season kind of how
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: we viewed Ladar going into last season. We're like, Okay,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: if Ladar can be the one B, maybe take over
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: as a starter, that's good news. And now we have
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Ladar knowing he can be a one A. We're not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: We're not risking it on Airson and and we have
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Joseph Wall, who his he had this his worst season
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: this past year, eight ninety eight save percentage. I would
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: love that from a Flyers backup goalie. Yeah, his safercientage
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: for his career is nine oh six. Yeah, his his
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: floor is sam Rison's ceiling pretty much. So the Flyers,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you know, no big splashy move yet this offseason, but
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: they really raised their floor with this. Joseph wall Trade
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: absolutely did.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: All right, folks, we are going to take a break,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but before we do that, I want to let Ryan
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: get some promos out here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Let him let let him know where.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You can find him on the socials out there again,
• 8:42

• 8:46
  Speaker 1: where they can find you. Man.

  Speaker 1: Sounds good, Yeah, sounds good. All right, folks are gonna
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: take a break. When we get back. We got more
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Flyers offseason talk coming your way. All right, we are
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: back with our good friend Ryan Gilbert from Broadstreet Hockey
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: dot Com. And as we're moving along with this conversation
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: about the Flyers off season. Where they maybe going during
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven season. That's just
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: around the corner. I swear it's gonna be here before
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: we know it, you know. I think the big question
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is I don't think it's gonna happen this year, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: when and where will the Flyers get that dominant top
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: line center of the future. It's what we've been talking
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: about four years. At this point, I keep thinking, are
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: we gonna have to wait another year? Are we gonna
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have to wait two years before this club is really
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: able to secure that critical talent for potential future Stanley
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Cup playoff runs? Ryan and I just wonder where that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: guy's gonna come from. And we certainly don't have a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: crystal ball in front of us for sure. We don't
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: know for certain where it's gonna happen and when it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. But you know, I've had some day dreams
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: about this here and there before that it may come
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in a potential trade at some point down the road
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: or some other acquisition. What are your thoughts on where
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: this guy eventually may end up coming from, because it
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: has to happen at some point.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, A trade really does seem like the most likely seek.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Dylan Larkin asking out he doesn't necessarily want to come
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: to Photophia yet, But in a year or two Flyers
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs again, they make some noise, can maybe
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: get a Dylan Larkin, Robert Thomas, a guy like that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: So a trade unfortunately does seem like the most likely
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: option to get a top line center, because the Flyers
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: are built with their depth, they have so many wingers,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: they have so many young centers, and Luchenko and Nesbitt
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: and Bergland and these guys who teams that are gonna
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: be rebuilding might want. But also internally, the more I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: think about it, the more I could see Trevor Zegres
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: becoming that first line center. Oh give him, you give
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: him two great wingers. He played well with Dvorak, played
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: well with with Tippit and Connectney. But if you he's
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: twenty four going on twenty five, that's when players usually
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: hit their prime. And we just saw the Hurricanes whin
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup with Sebastianajo as their one seed. You
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: don't need a McDavid, you don't need them McKinnon. McKinnon
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: won the Cup with mccarr and rant and a great team.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: You don't need these top heavy teams like the Leafs
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: failed with. You need teams built with depth. And I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: think if Martone and Mitschkoff and Tippett keep going, Zegris
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: could be that one. See, so there is hope for that,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but but the trade is still probably more likely.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I I think about Trevor
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Zegress coming here to this team and thinking he was
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going to be that center. And you know, we saw
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Rick Hockett saying, nah, hold my beer are not so fast,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, to get him maybe the season starting
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: out at you know, one Sea. Look, I wouldn't mind it,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: but we saw how productive he was on the wing
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that I kind of say to myself, I don't want
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to ruin a good thing here, you know. I mean,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: do you see it that way or do you? Are
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you among those that say, you know what, let's give
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it a try, because we do have so many wingers here.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: A little bit of both. Not to play fency fencern,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: but like I do want to see him at center.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I want to see him at center. Give him Martone
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: and connect me, like, see what that line can do
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: because you do have all these wingers, and you have Devorak,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you have Kates, and you have Victorier at center. So
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you could move Zegres to wing, but then you're putting
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: two of Tippett like you're putting someone else down the lineup.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Then you got bumping Barkie. So there's a lot of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: moving pieces. But I would just say put Zegres at center,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: even if you know he's not gonna win a ton
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: of face offs, that is his one thing. But you
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: don't have to win a ton of face offs if
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you can still put up a point per game as
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a center.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. And look, you know, when we're talking about
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: veterans on this team, talking about Trevor Ziegres as well,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the Flyers have less than one week to sign not
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: only Trevor Zegris but Jamie Drysdale before arbitration kicks in here.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you see any potential hiccups happening here
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: with these two players who are I don't know, pretty
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: important in terms of the team's future here? What are
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you thinking?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're gonna get to arbitration.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Arbitration.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Arbitration is really ugly. I know, we saw that with
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: like Ryan Howard, like back back way when like it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: just going in there, everyone just just slings stuff at
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: one another and like try to say like, Okay, you're
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: not worth this, No I am worth this. Just in
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: back and forth, and the thing with Trevor Zegras's agent
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: like h he also represents Dylan Larkin, Jason Robertson, Patrick Kane,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Claude drew E, Lias Patterson, like a bunch of guys
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that still have work to get done. With Jamie Drysdale.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: We saw some reports I forget from who if it
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: was reputable or not, that it was like four or
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: four years, six and a half million, two point two
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: five million in that range. I was worried when they
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: didn't sign them in early July that I saw. Then
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I saw the offer sheet, I was like, okay, they
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: can't quite back them myself into a corner. So I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna go to arbitration. I don't think
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be any ill will. And we have to
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: remember this isn't just this isn't just Trevor's Egres sitting
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: down with Danny Briery, Trevor's eegres is agent doing all
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of it. He's like, all right, I'm gonna get the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: best deal I can for you. They'll probably sign later
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: this week, I would imagine. I don't think we're going
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: into the arbitration.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think either. I just wanted to bring it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: up just in case, because I swear, in the world
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of sports anymore, you never know what the hell is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. Jalen Brown is now in the Philadelphia seventy
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: six ers. For God's sake, You've got Jalen Hurtz who's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: just ranked outside like the top fifteen quarterbacks in the NFL,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: which is ridiculous in my opinion. Weird stuff happens in
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the world of sports, so you never know. You absolutely
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: never know. So all right, buddy, I do want to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: let you go, but beforehand, you know, I'm not sure
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: if Danny Breer and company, if they still need to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: get certain things done during this off I think we
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: would like to see. Look, I mean, this team's got
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of depth in various areas, but what do
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you think that Danny Brier and company really needs to
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do this offseason to get ready to roll as the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: regular season is going to be here before.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: We know it. Yeah, I mean the most important thing
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is getting those zigris in Drysdale contract you have to take.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You have to take care of internal business, to clean
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: up your own own house before you go outside to
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: try to try to improve it there. But beyond that,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I would like to see a power play quarterback get
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: in here. John Carlson, I understand, wanted to go to Tampa.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Morgan Riley is a guy who might be out there,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: but I don't love his contract numbers. Yeah, and then
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you know there are a home run derby to night
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: here recording this on Monday, so there could be a
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: few home rules swings for Danny Brier. Elias Patterson's name
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: is out there. I don't think it would happen. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: don't don't think I would like him here either. His
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: name is out there. Dylan Larkin. I would like to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: see the Flyers make a push for Detroit and see
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: if they can get in contact with Dylan Larkin and
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: see if that Carlson offer sheet can help sway anything.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: And Adam Fantelli is still unsigned. Adam Mantellia is the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: one player right now who you can give an offer
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: sheet too. So that those are those are three big swings.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I'm writing an article today for Brostreet Hockey dot com,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: so check that out. But those are three big swings.
• 16:14
