Happy Friday PHLY fam! On today’s edition of F-Around Friday, Charlie & Bill discuss another old trope that has followed the Philadelphia Flyers around for years- that they acquire great players way too late.

After trading Cutter Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks shortly after he was named the Best Forward at the World Junior tournament, Philadelphia Flyers fans clamored for the player Briere received in return: Jamie Drysdale.
