They should have taken into consideration the head coach, development/player coaches and the front office. If they did, they know it would be bottom 5. "Wasted Potential" is the middle name for Flyers Prospects.

And (2) 1sts, (2) 2nds, (2) 6ths in 2024 BEFORE they make any TDL trades or moves before the draft.

I don't expect a tear down, but I hope Briere learned from Hextall's failure to make any moves between TDL 2014 and trading Schenn in the summer of 2017. The next two years he needs to continue to accumulate young assets to build around Michkov, Gauthier and the young goalies.

"Speed and skill gives them a chance."

Yeah, a chance to be ignored, punished, and misused for not adding bulk for its own sake on top of it.

What's the TLDR on the article? I only see the first couple paragraphs...

Flyers rookie camp invite Matt Brown has signed a two-year deal with their AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley, reports PHLY Sports’ Charlie O’Connor. O’Connor reporteda few days ago that the Flyers were potentially considering an entry-level contract for Brown after a standout performance during rookie camp.

AHL PTO Tryout converts to AHL Contract.

Good. Brown is certainly AHL quality, whether his very good senior season means he's a late bloomer with NHL potential remains to be seen, but he has speed and a compact body which allows him to compensate for his lack of height. LHV is top heavy at C/RW so he'll help balance a line.

At first I figured he was another try-harder grinder based on the name alone. Turns out he's a 5'9 skilled player that had a good season for Boston U.

interested to see how Zmolek pans out. Big kid, nhl genes.

Being honest, I watched the 3rd period of the 1st prospects game vs NYR and Matt Brown was one of the most noticeable players. Very fast, on the puck, skilled. Only rookies, and he’s older, but he looked as good as any of the other assembled smurfs: Tuomaala, Ciernik, Gendron, Desnoyers, Fauchon, Barkey and Brink. Ciernik was good too. Avon was was hurt.

In case you want to watch the first Rookie Camp game vs Ranger prospects. These things just pop up on my YouTube feed, so I'm sharing. No video of the 2nd game.

Have they recovered since the Owen McLaughlin decommitment?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Are they really going to play Gendron in the AHL this year?

 

[deadhead]

He's listed as an AHL player by EP.

Was Tuomaala good, bad or decent? I missed the preseason games.

Good. Fast and physical, accepting the role of a forechecker and making things happen.
Think mini-Tippett, shorter but solid squat body and just as fast.
