2022/23 Roster Thread II: Worth Every Penny

[flyersnorth]

So assuming we sign JG, and shed JVR, what are we looking at?

Farabee/Coots/Gaudreau
Laughton/Hayes/Atkinson
Cates/Frost/Tippett
MacEwen/Brown/Allison

Looks like a bunch of misfits.

The back-end is even worse.

Provy/DeAngelo
Sanheim/Risto
York/Attard

 

[Beef Invictus]

No it’s not. But keep living in your make believe world.

Yet I'm the one between us who keeps being right, while you aren't. Weird.

 

[Curufinwe]

That's completely false, as usual.

Nah, man, he just really feels bad for Dysin Mayo.

Why is cam york at development camp? The guy is a top 4 dman on this team.

I saw a story saying he was working out in Vorhees and volunteered to be a mentor at the camp.

it’s undeniably, by every metric, still a bottom 10 team. Which is the funniest part of this whole pathetic scramble of Cuck’s.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Can't find the tweet but apparently jvr to Buffalo is picking up major steam

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Buffalo circling back for seconds on Fletcher’s sheer incompetence.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is the roster (roughly) of what we're looking at if Chuck's plan goes properly. Essentially took the players already under contract with the smallest contracts (not RFA's) and did the thing that we know Chuck is going to do. It gets REALLY fun when Ellis decides he is a real person again.

I'd plan on swapping out Cates for Deslauriers, and swapping Allison for something stupid like Beagle.

It would be a surprise if they let two young guys run a pair either, so something stupid needs to happen on defense too. Unless the cap is so bad they have no choice.

bottom team with no first this season an probably next season too

horrible 2nd line there, yikes

You left out TK

Gaudreau/Coots/TK
Farabee/Hayes/Atkinson
Laughton/Frost/Tippett
Cates/Brown/MacEwen
Ratcliffe

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

How sad is it that Buffalo who for like the last decade has had a reign of incompetent management for the record books now has your GM on speed dial?

You let out all the RFAs like Frost and Tippett, but signed Thompson?

Brink won't have to have his full cap hit on IR. just a prorated portion of it on SOIR

 

[landsbergfan]

We'll be on Phase 279 of the Quackverse Megadraft.

I might join by then

 

[Bigkarl]

This f***ing moron is actually going to give up a 1st to move JVR isn’t he?

 

[deadhead]

New York spent the previous seasons sitting back accumulating cap space before they signed Panarin. They got Fox & got an extreme outcome on him ending up one of the best defensemen & almost immediately at that.

Beyond that they slogged their way to the conference finals off the back of Shesterkin having the best regular & post season by goalie in the analytic era. That’s a team probably prime for regression back to the middle next year which usually happens to these outlier/Cinderella types.

I want to build a legitimate contender with some sustaining power. I’m tired of being in no man’s land waiting on a miracle to happen.

I agree. Which is why I couldn't give a shit about Ghost and Voracek or even G, if you want to build a legitimate contender, they were out the door in any case. If Ellis either comes back or goes on LTIR, then things are fine, b/c Patrick and Myers were "fails."

I don't mind using 2nd and 3rd rd picks to get RFAs in their prime, in that sense, if there wasn't all that baggage, TDA would be a good move. I do mind using 1st rd picks unless the player is a top player 25 or younger, which is why I didn't like the Risto deal. The extension was $1M and 1 year too much, 4x4 is easily tradeable.

Giving up on Lindblom is stupid, resigning him to a 2x2 and gaining $1M to provide head room to resign RFA deals would make sense. Giving up assets to move JVR to try and sign JG would be stupid, if he was 26, yes, but he's 29, this team isn't one player away and I expect by 32 he'll be in decline. G peaked at 30-31, while JG might be a little better, I expect him to be second line quality in 4 years making $10M a year. Whereas paying Couts $7.5M is manageable b/c he'll be a solid veteran anchor as a two way center.

 

[landsbergfan]

Just wait until you guys find out the hardest part for me watching Fletcher destroy this team for years is

...

Spoiler: spoiler

my dick

 

[Rebels57]

Either a 1st or a good NHL ready prospect like Zamula..something like that.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hell yeah, I signed Thompson because that's what Fletcher does but in reality he was just a place holder to show the type of lineup that they're going to be able to ice.

I left out the RFA's because who knows if they accept their QO and they're actually more expensive then the players I added in but sure i'll add them in with what I believe are their QO's and take Thompson off.

With no extra skaters....

That Farabee overage doe.

I also forgot Konecny on there... maybe I just mentally assumed Chuck would get rid of him!

Meltzer just tweeted that York didn't volunteer. Was told to participate.

The D will be even worse cause you know they will play Seeler

It's very unlucky for a team which has only made one mistake in 4 years to wind up in this situation.

 

[JABEE]

The Flyers signed TDA after dumping Ghost. Lol

 

[snoop88]

Gaudreau and Bedard will be fun to watch in 23-24 at least.

 

[Flyerfan18]

Wrong again. But I will give you are consist in your beliefs even if you can’t back anything up
