He's kept players not because it's good development or they're actually the best options, but because they fought.

That's dinosaur shit.
Attard did things that are to be expected of what he projects to be a bottom pair defenseman. Aside from looking worse than a washed up Braun he made the team on potential.
York on the other hand was given the opportunity to see big minutes on special teams and top minutes despite being caught behind a logjam at left d

Great quote from Torts.

And as we all know, people should be judged by what they say, not what they do. He must be a great developmental coach.

And as we are already seeing, making these judgements on practice and preseason alone while completely ignoring the prior year is bad practice that leads to bad players making the roster over better ones.

But hodgson making the team is based on the prior year and not camp. You could also say that for attard as he looked bad in preseason but played well after adjusting at the end of last year.
So I'm having a hard time seeing how you are framing your argument

It's already affirmed that Attard made the team because he fought. That's it.

Guys like Hodgson were praised during preseason. York was singled out for harsh treatment, last year wasn't a factor at all. Braun sucked ass with York being better.

Please don’t be this:



When other teams in the division have this:





The Flyers isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just bland. But honestly they don’t really have much to draw from their history. They haven’t really greatly changed like other teams. Pittsburgh & Washington have changed their colors & logos multiple times over their histories.

Hodgson won’t be around long if both Atkinson & Tippett are able to return soon.

I get that Lappy & Flahr like the way he worked himself from a no-name ECHLer to an effective power forward for the Phantoms last year.

I understand some trepidation that he could turn into the next Jeannot if they lose him on waivers.

But I don’t see it happening. More likely he just rode a hot streak last year. Torts will make the call soon enough.

Bullshit. York played like crap and was sent down based on merit.

Hodgson is the perfect extra forward who when we get healthy won’t play. Popcorn for him.

Attard made the team on merit as well. So what if the coach made a comment about him sticking up and fighting. One of many reasons. But keep on preaching make believe bullshit. There are enough posters here that lap it all up and a mod that likes to tell people who disagree with him that we are wrong because a bunch of others have already pointed it out. Like that means anything

No he didn't.

No, Hodgson isn't.

Torts basically just spit directly in Lappy, Brent, Danny, and Chuck's collective faces after one game. The ultimate act of disrespect. File that one under "things you love to see".
I want Torts as the new president. This one is awesome. "We love this guy - try him out" - Old Brass. "He sucks - I've seen enough. Send him down" - Torts
