2022/23 Roster Thread XII: The Twelfth Night, a comedy play

[Striiker]

Also, if anyone unironically tries to pretend this roster is run on merit or that Torts isn’t lying about accountability, show them this.

These lines kill that argument so fast it hurts.

(He also got the order wrong of the bottom 6)

 

[Beef Invictus]

Just leave Frost and Allison together. It's not difficult.

 

[Curufinwe]

I actually prefer Frost with Laczynski.

 

[Rebels57]

WOOOO!

Worst franchise in all of sports.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Stop trying to make Cates at center happen - just leave him at wing.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

He probably is at wing. Just like Laczynski isn't the LW and Deslauriers the RW.

 

[renberg]

Worst franchise in all of sports.

Nah. There is a lot of competition for that spot in the NHL. Actually the number of well run franchises in the League is pretty small.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Torts is nothing but a fraud, and a snake oil salesman. It’s not shocking that he fit so perfectly, and was wanted so desperately by the Flyers front office, and country club departments.

A perfect marriage.

Hope these idiots are patting themselves on the back come draft time for the meaningless wins leading to a poor draft position.

Rebuilding. Exhibit A.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Torts is the most honest person in the sport. You might disagree with his opinions, but he's not bullshitting anyone.

 

[deadhead]

They're shuffling lines and auditioning young players in different roles?
I'm shocked, given they're competing for a playoff spot, how could Torts do such a thing?

Or maybe he's conducting a rebuild, and right now just gathering information about his team, seeing who has chemistry with whom, and how they fit different roles? Because he's looking at the long-term, and isn't going to make final decisions about personnel until June?

 

[VladDrag]

Just leave Frost and Allison together. It's not difficult.

Tanner-Morgan-Wade or
Noah-Morgan-Wade

Those lines need to be tried.

 

[deadhead]

I cannot believe one of the worst teams in the league is catering to Artem Anisimov in the Year 2022.

Oh, let's not get too excited.
Given Sedlak has taken his spot, they may be simply helping Anisimov get into shape to audition for a job elsewhere.
Sometimes teams do nice things for players because either they want to promote good will or a HC might want to help out a former player.

[flyerslducks]

CBJ is terrible and the Flyers are worse.

Yup. At least cbj have skilled players in their lineup, more cap space, all of their picks, better prospects, no fletcher, etc

Where have we heard that before?

He's a supreme bullshit artist, like every coach.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Where have we heard that before?

Every veteran they've signed for years, I believe.

I think they'll end up signing Anisimov given the Flyers' weakness down the middle. As long as he can still skate.

They'll need to clear out a contract, of course. I'm sure someone will take Isaac Ratcliffe for future considerations.

Columbus: 6 points in 12 games and staring at year 1 of a 7 year $9.75M per Gaudreau deal who turns 30 before next season.

Chalk another one up for the "sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make" category.

 

[flyers0909]

Luckily the Flyers are in a great position to do stupid shit to help out former players. Not many teams in the NHL have that luxury.

I'm sure you realize that JG there and JG here are not the same. But keep finding ways to make it look like you think Fletcher is doing a good job.

Anisimov. Stewart.

Fletcher running a soup kitchen for the orphanage.

You mean the Fletcher Category?

Ah, yes, that must strictly fall at Gaudreau's feet and there must be no other context whatsoever that could help explain something.

Le sigh.

 

[flyerslducks]

wait why would they help anisimov get in shape to audition elsewhere lol?

Patrick brown, anisimov in….frost, lazcynski out
