@FLYguy3911 - what flavor? I think cool mint 6

 

[FLYguy3911]

They don't get credit for doing something foolish. It's not like he even had a great camp.

Definitely one of the weirder things they ever did.

Nah it's shoe polish.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I think it's nine games played, so there was no rush.

And yes, he did skate with McDavid, 7 minutes, and wasn't overwhelmed.
That's a huge confidence builder. Knowing you can hang in there with the best.

It is nine games played but I would never put anything passed this organization.

Hyka and all that.

5:31 at 5v5 in which the Corsi count was 2-6, Fenwick was 2-5, and Shots were 0-4. That totaled up to an xGF of just under 27%.

My confidence would be throbbing.

 

[Alex K]

Is it to make room for Kolosov?

Those are Laughton numbers , and that’s the end goal.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Uh oh.

Seemed like he took a hit from behind into the boards late. My first reaction was shoulder. Minimum timelines aren't great though.

About the only good thing on this team outside of Michkov was the first pair. This could get ugly.

 

[dats81]

The Flyers' defense can't afford losing Cam York for an extended period of time. That is a massive blow to their hopes of turning this around.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

"But he won't play!"

 

[BigToe]

Uh oh.

Sounds like Hagens music

It would. We're talking an 18 year old going against the best player in the world and not getting blown off the ice.

xGF% 73.01 against Luchanko, 68.51% with Luchanko off the ice.
Maybe that McDavid guy is pretty good?

 

[Kelmitchell2]

It was inevitable, he didn't play badly, he just didn't do enough to justify keeping him up.

Great experience for the kid, practiced and played in the NHL, got to learn what he needs to improve in his game to play at the next level.

Should start next season in the NHL.

Needs to work on his offensive skill package, but when you can skate with McDavid, you know you got the goods to make it at the next level.
Biggest improvement needed is probably his shot, and to think the game faster, the windows in the CHL are going to look huge to him.

Eric wellwood was fast as hell to he didn't have offense and didn't stick (career ended in injury) but you can't just keep someone because they're fast as hell

Please stop

We both know that’s not gonna happen.

That's a weird comparison.
Luchanko is a good passer, he just needs to work on his shot.

 

[BigToe]

Never say never

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Never say never

We have 6 months to figure out how to rig a lottery. I think we can do this.

 

[Beef Invictus]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1850198239422627861

Blessed to see them do a right thing

 

[Beef Invictus]

Stop overrating prospects Jojo

 

[Beef Invictus]

For two guys who I was assured would barely ever play except when there was no choice, Deslauriers and EJ sure do play a lot

 

[FLYguy3911]

Never say never

We already have one guy that can skate with McDavid. Two would be unfair.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Was looking at Puckpedia...in the middle of a "rebuild" how are we going to have two consecutive off-seasons of basically no UFAs? The only skater with an expiring UFA contract is Johnson

 

[Beef Invictus]

I love that they used this window to see firmly where he is, strengths, weaknesses, what to work on at this level.

Yes, there are many arguments against doing this. I ignore them in this case. YOLO.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

That's a weird comparison.
Luchanko is a good passer, he just needs to work on his shot.

Wasn't a comparison, just a generalized statement that blazing speed means nothing if there's not much else to your game

 

[Juicy Pop]

Okay, so at least Couts looks healthy? That's a definite plus.
