I was wondering why it took so long for PPG to buy Philly.I don't see the Flyers as being all that bad. Maybe I view assets differently but I wish I inherited that team rather than the Tampa team I bought for $85 three years ago.
The Flyers are bad but the right man stepped in to buy them. :toast:
100 bucks! Big news for FNHL!
I think in that Division with expansion coming, that Flyers team could win it all even next season with a few moves and a strong draft.
No chance. Avs team that was just put up, we can talk about championship with that team.
Flyers got a bunch of big resigns to make too. Forsberg going from 2.0m to 7.9m, Seguin to 7.9M, Letang to 7M, etc. You can only pay so many guys with cap. Look at RL Blackhawks..... they could only sign so many that they dealt away Teuvo for cap relief.
Those are great highend assets that can be resigned or flipped. All part of the game in FNHL.I would like to see new meat own and run teams up for sale, but I can hardly blame PPG for purchasing them. If not for expansion, I would have bought them.
I always look fwd to new owners taking over new franchises. Great energy boost to the league and other owners. :thumbsup:

Different GMs have different philosophy on how to build a contender. Philly is already light years ahead of what I took over in Tampa or what jojo took over in Jersey, or Minny, Calgary, SJ, etc.
No other team in the league has 3 first rounders, isn't Picard a top or the top Goalie prospect in hockey? He has multiple top Forwards and Provorov on the back end.
Can't win it all today, I'm not saying that, but the foundation is strong. Hit on trades and the top 6 picks in the first 2 rounds of this draft, and I'm telling you they can win sooner than later.
I can see it, if nobody else does.
JackDaniels moved from :NJD: to :BOS-NHL: and took the Bruins to the promise land after fine tuning the Bruins. DickieDunn did the same with :LAK: Kings after turning the last place :OTT: Senators into a 1st Place team the prior yr.
Can't think of a better owner for :PHI-NHL: than the man who has been eyeing them since he joined FNHL in 2012.
Now where the hell is PPG??? :soapbox:: I'd love to see net new owners buy into FNHL.
Failing that, I will gladly welcome an existing owner who is motivated to compete on FNHL + add a team to their collection. :toast:

He is on his vacation this week. We gave him a week. :rofl: I am sure he needs it with all the activity to date.

THE END OF AN ERA IN FRANCHISE NHL - PAPPS RETIREMENT OFFICIALWITH FNHL FLYERS SALE!
PsychoticPondGoons simply could not resist investing in his fav hockey league nor his beloved Philly Flyers.
Investing $100 in a team that is below .500 and lacks a starting goalie tells you how much PPG believes in these FNHL Flyers or how absolutely nuts he is.
There was a line of interested buyers but ultimately PPG would have regretted not putchasing the franchise because it's the only time it has been offered for sale in the history of this league.
Watch out for new Flyers management to make changes.

100 bucks! Big news for FNHL!
If Papps wouldve walked away from FNHL 2yrs ago PPG wouldve just snapped up those Flyers for free.
Today, PPG pays $100.00 to purchase the fantasy hockey team.
I call that a smart investment! FNHL franchise values going UP UP UP!
:PHI-NHL: FLYERS are in good hands!
Congrats on your purchase PPG!!! It makes me happy to know my Flyers are going to another Flyers fan!!! Good luck doing what I was unable to do, bring home the cup to Philly!!! :thumbsup: :toast: :win:

PPG has a lot to work with and can make a winner out of these guys! :beer:

Then there's the new domino effect in FNHL.
:PHI-NHL: FLYERS go up for sale and get purchased.
Opens up :CLS: and there's interest in the JACKETS.
Then another owner offers up :COL-NHL: and there are already several interested investors in the AVALANCHE within 24hrs.
Signs of a healthy league!??
You bet'cha! :judge:

In a league this size it is great to see a manager take ownership of the team they cheer for. Congratulations to you PsychoticPondGoons.
I'm stoked about this.Why did Papps hire the dudes anyway? Hmmmm? Any guesses. Haha Kidding man.
Was on the fence for 48hrs but really felt it would kill me to not buy Philly the only time they've been up for sale.
BTW, we FIRED the DUDES on the ice cleanup team.
