On today’s episode, Russ & Rachel break down the deals the Flyers made on Trade Deadline Day. We talk about the lack of a JVR trade, Patrick Brown to Ottawa, the Brendan Lemieux acquisition, and more. Was Chuck Fletcher’s explanation for the lack of activity credible? Then we break down the stick taps of this season’s very busy trade deadline activity. Who are the rebuilding teams that took steps forward? Plus we discuss the rebuild Stevie Yzerman is putting together as we look ahead to our weekend matchup vs Detroit.

Did the Philadelphia Flyers get anybody today?
Chuck Flectcher is the worst GM in Flyers history! 3:52
The only temporary solution is if Dave Scott and Chuck Fletcher are removed from CEO and President of the Flyers, respectively. Then remove the old guard from the organization, in toto. Who has the guts to do it??? It's a start anyway….
The Flyers lost a chance to have a second round pick , very depth draft this year
Maybe they want to do draft trades?
I had zero expectations for any meaningful deals but what happened was absolutely brutal. Brendan Lemieux? I bet Torts talks about how much “jam” he plays with. Such a joke. Sad time to be a Flyers fan.
As a lifelong Flyers fan and former season ticket holder, the problem goes deeper than Chuck Fletcher. Until the media calls out Dave Scott and Valerie Camillo, nothing will change. Fletcher is just a ‘yes’ men as Scott is ultimately going to approve a full rebuild. Obviously that won’t happen as the Flyers spin in 2022 was aggressive retool and now it’s get younger. Even Fletcher admitted in his press conference today he won’t gut the team as that’s the only way to fix this thing. I plead with my fellow season ticket holders to walk away and do not renew until there is new ownership. For the Flyers to still get 16,000-17,000 paid attendance this year after a decade of irrelevance is mind boggling. Stop buying tickets and let ownership watch their team play to an empty building. Then MAYBE something drastic will happen. Right now, it’s hopeless with Scott, Camillo and Fletcher running the show.
Hextall was a terrible GM for us drafting bust after bust … But Fletcher just sits in his office in his thousand dollar chair like a piece of paper and does absolutely nothing… Worse GM we've ever had !! Only move l kinda liked was getting Lemieux and a 5th rounder for a 4th liner
So Philly got Brendan Lemieux the biter?
I miss the Flyers
Hopefully they move on from this gm after the season he’s not capable for this job
Bizarre behavior from Fletcher, this is seriously getting weird
Why should fans think they are better off with this garbage organization than sending the entire operation to another city and start out from scratch with an Expansion team- with NO Flyers or Comcast involved? One would rather have an expansion team in an expansion draft, picking from all other teams rosters and with a future- than a team who is a discarded trash heap living in the 70's, which is what the Flyers are. An expansion team has promise, the Flyers do not. I want the Flyers to move out of Philadelphia and get a fresh approach from a new expansion team !
