2023-24 Roster Thread #9: Spring time is upon us

[Hollywood Cannon]

These are the discussions that drive me nuts. Dan Hilferty doesn't give a single shit about you or me. Not one. Neither does Keith Jones or Bob Clarke or Ron Hextall or Dave Hakstol or Val Camillo or the guy I can't be bothered to Google who retired who loved Bill Barber. They're all the same. It's time for people to grow up and stop being fans. We're back to that being a negative thing.

Thank you as always.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Thank you as always.

And I gotta pay the Italian tax and not miss this opportunity. I don't participate in anti-italian discrimination.

 

[renberg]

Any news on signing Rizzo? If it’s not done soon should we expect him to be gone as a UFA?

 

[Curufinwe]

This says he can't go UFA until 8/25/2025

That would be six years post draft. That’s definitely not in the CBA. Flyers would hold his rights until then if he went back to school next year.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

There is a report out there that they’re trying to get and/or close to getting a contract done. The source is not the best, but also not the worst? I think? It’s DiMarco. Who knows.

Ugh look at what the commercials did

I started Year 8 of being locked in the Rage Room last month. How about you, my friend?

 

[Cody Webster]

I see someone went on a Kool-Aid bender this weekend

Frost

2.1​

6.1​

​

Imagine telling the front office and coaches that Frost has provided $6MM value. There would be tears. Possibly one or two pairs of pants fresh with urine.

Sort of reinforces the idea signing a Couturier-like RFA contract could’ve proved beneficial. But I’m not sure the Flyers today (not last summer) would pay Frost $4MM.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I've never seen such a hesitant decision maker and a slow defenseman like Zamula be able to get so many shots on the net. Honestly out of the plugs flyers hired in development role they need to have him teach our d how to get the shots through.

 

[Magua]

1. Drafting ~12th in a “rebuild” year with Barkey and Bonk as their #2/3 most valuable prospects
2. Rushed to trade their highest drafted prospect, with a ton of value, for a reclamation project who is 2 years older
3. Refused to sell high on Laughton (again)
4. Refused to sell high on Seeler (again), re-signed for 4 years
5. Traded a 4th rounder for Johnson
6. Only acquired one top 2 round pick in this year’s draft, while taking a value loss
7. Named Couturier captain only to indulge a Torts ego trip to create drama
8. Rocky Thompson returned to coach the worst PP in the league (could be back! Personnel issues!)
9. Lappy still embarrassing himself in the AHL
10. Brink split time with one of the worst forwards in the league in Atkinson
11. Tippett re-signed for 8 years
12. Frost scratched 11 games and is likely gone next season
13. Their starting goalie will never play for them again

What was the purpose of this year? What will be the purpose of next year? I need to consult the Divine Comedy.

Well, "Pride" is the 1st tier. That sounds pretty close to what the Flyers are building. I feel better now.

 

[renberg]

We’ve seen this story before. A coach ****s the bed to lose games and puts it on the players. His assistant coaches offer little to nothing. Instead of being fired, he is kept around and gets canned midway through the next season. AV, Torts; the difference between their acts is minimal.

Weird with a name like yours…

Plus Johnson, and Staal, and Seeler

 

[PALE PWNR]

f*** this whole season man

Well Zamula has actual tangible skill that makes him stand out. Not sure what is Sam Morin's contribution in his role?

 

[FlyerNutter]

Last season was actually better because they got Matvei out of it.

What was this season but a waste of time, even if they will try to convince otherwise.

 

[trostol]

my guess is..unless they jump up in the lottery..they will be going defense in the first round?

 

[Appleyard]

2022-23: 26th in NHL

29th in Goals for
22nd in Goals against

2023-24: 21st in NHL

27th in Goals for
21st in Goals against

Yeh, does not tell whole story... process was a lot better overall.

But still so, so much work to do.

 

[bauer]

Get ready for the Frost + 12th overall for Zegras trade.

 

[PALE PWNR]

When frost demands a trade, what round draft pick are we going to have to give up for someone to take him?
