Who is your favorite current Flyers' player?

Thread #5 -- 2023-24 Roster Thread #5: Where the boos aren't limited to Halloween

 

[DancingPanther]

Where's the none option? All these players could be traded tomorrow and it wouldn't bother me one bit

 

[Striiker]

TK
Frost
Sanheim

Easy choices.

 

[Magua]

Does anyone have any pillows of their favorite players? That's the real test.

Brink, Frost, TK. They are my favorite to watch.

1. Carter Hart
2. Sean Couturier

[chadateit]

I saw Rod the Bod in the building today. Does that count as a current flyers favorite?

 

[flyersnorth]

Right now, Brink, TK, Farabee.

 

[FromOyVey2Matvei]

Make no mistake, if this was an anonymous poll, Deslauriers would be leading... everyone is just afraid of being bullied by a certain few posters...

 

[BiggE]

Couts, TK and whoever. Maybe Brink or Farabee. However, if any player were to snap and knock out Torts, said player would immediately be one of my all time favorite Flyers.

 

[Starat327]

I'm interested in Torts response here. How do you think he only chooses 3 of: Staal, Seeler, Dealauriers, Hathaway, Cates, Belpedio.


@Hollywood Cannon can you ask at the next STH event?

Laughton for sure, he’s basically one of Torts kids at this point.

 

[ponder719]

Couturier, Brink, and I legitimately had to stop for a moment and really think, because I had nothing.

Ultimately settled on TK over Laughton.

 

[Matti Mich]

I think the real issue with the whole frost situation, is that he's probably not as defensively responsible as torts would like to play center, but he would probably excel on the wing and could potentially shore up the LW. Think G once he moved to couts' wing. Doesn't have to be as good in his own zone, can focus more on creating offensively.

top 3 rn are brink, tk, sanheim

 

[Audible Velvet]

I voted for the firm of Travis, Travis and Morgan.
Couturier is immune to polls in my mind.

I think Frost is at worst middle of the pack for defensive responsibility and effectiveness on this team. My highlight from last night’s game was him stripping Tony D’ingus.
He’s a potential number two C in my estimation. He should be given the ice time and line mates to capitalize on him as an asset

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Met with the Flyers 20 minutes before the draft.

 

[Curufinwe]

My god there is a bunch of waffle in here.

Morgan Frost back in the Flyers lineup, but long-term fit questions remain - PHLY Sports

Morgan Frost's 15-day benching finally ended on Monday. But can he prove he needs to be part of the Flyers' future?

allphly.com

I guess it's Frost's fault that Foerster didn't elevate the puck when Frost found him wide open in the slot on the PP.

his return failed to boost the power play, which went 0-for-5 in the 3-2 defeat.

He would cheat and list PHD as a single selection.

I thought all players love him

 

[Curufinwe]

Couturier is almost 31 coming off two back surgeries, Laughton is 29 and is better as a winger, Cates has never shown he can be a offensive playmaker at center, and Gauthier is currently a one trick pony who's still a teenager.

In the mind of Torts and Charlie this means one thing - get rid of Frost ASAP.

 

[deadhead]

Frost isn't competing with Cates or Laughton, if Frost's ceiling becomes a 3C, he'll be traded b/c Cates is a better fit for that role, Desnoyers looks like he's staying at center, we'll see what they do with Poehling, and so on.

I'm sure they're not sold on Gauthier at center, and would love for Frost to step up and solidify his hold on the 2C spot. And it's all about pacing with him, this game was a microcosm of his career so far, pretty much invisible in the first period, dominant in the 3rd. When Frost skates hard and forces the action, he can be a dynamic player, when he glides through a shift, passively waiting for an opportunity to present itself, he often become the 'invisible man.'

Frost simply isn't as nifty as Brink, his speed is what gives him an edge over most forwards, when he doesn't use it, he's taking away what makes him special. TK lacks "shake and bake" and isn't that great of a passer in traffic, but consistently uses his speed to pressure defenses, take advantage of breakdowns and to get back defensively when you think he's out of a play. Frost has a more complete offensive skill package than TK, and is bigger, but he lacks TK's intensity and motor.
