2023-24 Roster Thread 2: The Days Get Longer Edition

[Flyerfan4life]

Hilferty has no clue, except that he loves the 70s teams and wants to "build in their spirit."

Yeah, that's not ominous at all. Nope.

sounds very forward thinking...

oh wait... no its the opposite of that... hahaaa..

Tipp/TK - Coots - TK/Tipp
Farabee - Frost - Cam
Laughton - Cates - Foerster
Deslauriers - Desnoyers - Allison

Sanheim - York
Seeler - Risto
Tda? - Attard

Moving Hayes and Provorov gets you this basically. I couldn’t get Brink in the lineup.

I see someone on the 4th line who has no business being in the lineup, let alone on the team or in the NHL...

Agreed. Just think they value him too much, and he’s unmovable. Ugh.

Just like Zac only the Flyers view players like him as a core piece.

I routinely forget that Chaz gave a face puncher 2 years with a modified NTC.

Which is why I wouldn't trade Sanheim right now, don't sell low.
If he rebounds, in two years with a 6x6 and a rising cap, you'll know how Andrae, Zamula and Ginning have panned out at LHD.
At that point you could get a big return for Sanheim.

 

[Beef Invictus]

They have no plans to let Andrea and Zamula be NHL players.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Chuck Fletcher was the worst f***ing GM this league has ever seen. It’ll be difficult for Briere to be worse.

Reflecting on James van Riemsdyk's long, uneven Flyers tenure as it reaches likely end

As his contract runs out this summer, what is van Riemsdyk's final legacy in Philadelphia?

theathletic.com

A big problem for the Flyers after they signed Hayes was they had three big, soft forwards making too much money, Hayes, JVR and Voracek (who gradually declined, mostly on defense, after his big contract, more rapidly after 2019-20).

Jakub Voracek remains a valuable scorer, but could he still become a casualty of the Flyers' offseason?

Over a decade after joining the Philadelphia Flyers, could Jakub Voracek be on the way out? Or is it worth keeping him around in Philly?

theathletic.com

It's not that they didn't produce points (when healthy), it's that they didn't produce enough points to justify their cap hits given their mediocre at best defense, and their inability to push play. Since they ate a lot of minutes, they dictated the style of play. Flyers ended up a slow, soft team that struggled to play consistent defense, but couldn't score enough to compensate. For years, TK was the only fast forward in the top 9, with Laughton as the runner up (Voracek wasn't the big fast monster at 30 that he was in his early 20s), I think that, more than anything else, exposed them in the changing NHL.

It'll be interesting to see what Briere prioritizes in the coming years.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Voracek and JVR aren't soft.

 

[Adam Warlock]

So whose gonna be the unnecessary 4th liner we sign n overpay this summer??

Cmon...theres always one!

I think we might get 2 or 3 this year

Which is why he was 12th in minutes among forwards.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Aside from his ridiculous time in the top 6.

Is he still 12th despite not being in the team for a while?

Even if he was 12th in average icetime, that’s horrendous because he’s not one of the 12 best forwards this team had under contract.

Voracek and JVR aren't soft.

Jake especially dominated people physically by using his body to keep them away from the puck.

He was like Jagr Jr.

 

[Striiker]

Well at the very least it seems like Briere is smarter than most of this fanbase, although that’s an incredibly low bar. Most think we shouldn’t even consider a Hart trade.

Absolutely the right statement for Hart or any other player on this team.
