Whatever happened to Tuomaala? He was a big story line early in camp, but I haven't heard his name for some time now.

He’s been out with undisclosed injury

I still don't understand this but ok. I will have convictions to think something, but not that Jett Luchanko might make the team.

All you have to do is google “Jack Eichel” “generational” & there are tons of examples.

Here’s one:

https://www.nbcsports.com/nhl/news/can-jack-eichel-become-the-first-american-generational-hockey-talent

So don’t call me a liar because you don’t remember something.

So a nobody said he could be the American gretzky (plays nothing like him) and this was prior to him playing a single game, who calls him generational even 2 years in? Not one singular person, I can find things about Daigle being generational, you're acting like people here think he's generational, and tbf nobody here ever thought he was generational

Some hot takes in there...

Only one of them picks Michkov to lead rookie scoring, and one of them picks Couturier as the player they expect be traded this season.

Amusingly, they unanimously believe that the first coach fired this year coaches in Pennsylvania, they're just split as to whether it's Sullivan or Tortorella.

usahockey22flyers · 2024-10-01T11:47:08-0400

I kind of get the feeling Deslauriers being waived might be on the cards.

They are taking a real extended look at Lyckell and Richard, the math aint mathing. And Torts said today that they need to get faster.

I don't see it happening.

I would love it if they did waive him, but I expect they will either carry 14 forwards (Lycksell or Luchanko) or 3 goalies, at least for the opening road trip.

The 31 year old Captain with an NMC and 6 x $$7.75m left on his deal. :skeptic:

The one and only.

Lots of Stankoven fans too apparently.

Oh, and the picks for biggest busts of the year is interesting. Celebrini, Ovechkin, Stamkos...

Tort's presser.

"We need more speed."
"We're not thinking playoffs"

Guess him the other CO-GM see it differently. Torts is so full of shit.

They need the Jett he is saying.

They said the latter publicly last year too….we all know how that played out

Why does anyone believe anything they say? Especially after Jones hopped on a podcast to admit they lied about the rebuild. He probably thought they could do that because they figured they'd make the playoffs and be smug at all the naysayers they had to falsely appease.

correct...

HeadLiceHatty · 2024-10-01T14:30:29-0400

Drysdale's development and health is nearly as important as anything on our roster other than Michkov. He still has the potential to tilt that trade in our favor, should be easy for him since he put on 50 pounds of muscle in 3 months, that's what Comcast told me and Comcast has never lied to me or made my bill more expensive than it should be.

No. He was explicit about the need for speed down the road to compete, but not this season.
He was pretty clear he sees this as a rebuilding season, where the emphasis is on improvement by the players on the roster.
He feels the goalie situation is an unknown, neither are proven commodities.

Tortorella was super candid innhis presser today:

" Drysdale doesn't know how to play the game yet, so we have to teach him how".

I know what he meant but it was super direct. You can't have thin skin with Torts.

EXTRAS · 2024-10-01T15:17:58-0400

Drysdale has the tools to be scott neidermeyer. So hopefully Torts can develop him, if that's what they are talking about. After all he lost a couple years of development to injury.

So you think it's something like this?

Tippett-Frost-Michkov
Farabee-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Laughton-Brink
Cates-Poehling-Hathaway

Extra: Luchanko, Deslauriers

York-Sanheim
Seeler-Drysdale
Z-Risto

Extra: Erik Johnson

__________________________________________________________________

I think I'd rather waive #44, send Jett back to the OHL and keep Richard and Lycksell around

Unless you're Vegas, that's exactly the type of player who never gets traded.

This is a league that has to talk for 4 months about whether or not they can fit in a third liner.

I can carry things and parts of me are flammable. I have the tools to be a space shuttle.

You are smart enough to know Torts is full of it. Rebuilding with essentially the same roster as last year.

He wants the playoffs very bad. Then he can say look at me and what I have done. This is potentially his last year coaching in the NHL. You think he wants to go out not making it 3 years in a row.

Let's say this is his last year coaching the Flyers. Do you see another NHL team hiring him to coach?

Even Mr Wonder himself can see that.
