2022/23 Roster Thread XIII: Where the 13th Floor Has Been Located

[Kelmitchell2]

Torts is really showing he has no clue what the hell he's doing, actually compared frost to a toilet seat

 

[Curufinwe]

Provy back where he belongs...PP1

Currently at 1.61 P/60 on the PP this season. One secondary assist in 37:12.

Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick

 

[DancingPanther]

They are thinking that Betterfitkinson is going to play Thursday against the Lightning.

I see you have chosen his correct moniker

[DancingPanther]

"SEVENTY FIVE TO EIGHTY POINT TEAM" LOLOLOLOLOL

So much for standing up for his players no matter what. His soul is as fat and slobby as Flahr.

Flahr's soul is actually Slimer.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

How awful do you guys think this season is going to get without even really sniffing the bottom of the standings and missing out on Bedard and probably winding up with like 9th pick or some shit?

Serious question, is this the worst era in Flyers history?

IMO yes (started seriously following the team after richards/carter calder cup run)

Yes, and the salary cap makes it worse because the Flyers can no longer buy their way out of awfulness.

Morgan Frost for Nick Foligno.

Morgan Frost for the last year of Ryan Reeves. We'll send a 2nd rounder for good measure.

I did watch the full interview from today. While I don't like the comparison, he did say some nice things about Frost. He recognized his skill, and said something along the lines of keep putting them out there and let them make mistakes...Now that wasn't what happened with him early in the season when he was demoted to the 4th line, sat him for 1/2 a period, then sat him for a whole game...

make no mistake Frost is only playing due to injuries... soon as a old dog is available Frost will be yanked for "needs to show more" mouth garbage

Pretty much what he's done with all the skill players, emphasizing playing off the puck.
He hasn't exactly played favorites in that regard, benched TK for a period, has been riding Hayes.
Poor poor Morgan.

 

[trostol]

the smart thing would be to listen on everyone not named..what Hart at this point ...get rid of the whole stink of a team including executives...

please someone come buy this team

 

[renberg]

Torts isn’t exactly the reincarnation of Fred Shero but after Gordon, Hakstol, Vigneault, and Yeo, I see an improvement behind the bench. I don’t care if he’s not up for sexy plays. If your guys can’t even make the basic ones, why should they try to make cute ones? Right now he wants these guys to compete at all 200 feet of the rink and play fundamentally sound hockey. As we’ve seen, half of the present roster won’t or can’t do that.
He rides TK and his game is as good as it’s ever been. He rides Hayes and the guy gets worse. Frost hasn’t been scoring but you can see that he’s improving week to week. If Torts was really down on him, he’d send him down. There is a process happening here. Maybe slower than we’d like but it’s moving. Six to nine of the 23 guys here are showing that they’re not NHL players and need to be gone. Probably the GM too since he’s the reason that this drek is here.

Indisputably he’s played favorites.

Let's go Fletcher's nephew!!!!

 

[deadhead]

I don't think six to nine have shown they're not NHL players, rather, some are still question marks and other playing above their pay grade.

DesLauriers and MacEwen are fine on the 4th line, but injuries have pushed them up at times
Bellows, Frost and Tippett are all question marks, are they middle six, bottom six or AHL plus? We'll find out.
Cates should be in the Laughton role a level down (i.e. 3LW, 4C). Same with Sedlak.
Hayes is a better fit on wing, similar to JVR, use them for offense and shelter them on defense.
Allison has to show he can stay healthy, Laczynski that he's a NHL player.
Willman, J Cates and Brown belong in the AHL, J Cates is on his way back.

From a depth standpoint, they're pretty solid once some of the injured forwards come back, but they don't have a 1C or a 2C.
They have the forwards, Hayes, JVR, TK, Farabee, Atkinson. And when these guys are back, two solid bottom six lines.

Braun is a depth veteran, Seeler is showing himself to be a capable #6.
The top four is still full of question marks.

The best way I would describe Tortorella's messaging is: up and down like a toilet seat. I watched the interview too, including what he said about Zamula, and on its own, it sounded like really reasonable stuff. It's not unfair, not overly negative, he doesn't come across as a hard ass. Until he does, with usage or double standards. As usual, I think he understands issues but struggles to actualize solutions. Plus, he's got this weird shtick with the Flyers where he's Grandpa John teaching lessons, then suddenly he's the usual fiery curmudgeon.

Braun is not a depth veteran, he's a mainstay and was always going to be. Frost and Tippett aren't question marks. Brown was never going to be in the AHL, nor will he be. Fletcher has made it very clear he wants as few prospects as possible learning how to play the NHL game. He's not going to pull a beloved veteran.

If you need to constantly make stuff up to defend management, then they aren't worth defending.

 

[deadhead]

What beloved veterans?

Braun will sit for Zamula if TDA is ready to play, Torts already announced that.

Remember how Braun was on the top pair for the previous two seasons?

But he was just a #7 then too.
