2024-25 Roster Thread #1: The Beginninging

[Beef Invictus]

Currently the worst team in the East. Buffalo Sabres have a higher points %.

It is difficult to take Buffalo seriously as a cautionary tale when they keep being better.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Where could one quite easily find top talent.

Hmmmm

As far as Couturier goes… Player is cool, contract was not. I’ve bitched about that enough at the time.

It’s so odd to start forming a narrative against him, and your new captain.

He’s going to be the guy they focus the smear campaign increasingly so on. All to take away attention from the failures of management, and Torts.

One can feel it. Giroux. Jake. Hayes. Cutter.

Is there another org that does this more?

Said in postgame, lose the Habs game and we could get to double digit losing streak.

A "REBUILDING" team playing Poheling as 1 C should get Torts fired.
A "Playoff Team" playing Poheling as 1 C should get Torts fired.

Deppe down even the 2 Torts fan boys here cant defend this seriously.

Re-signing guys like Couturier, Sanheim, & Konecny in their late 20’s with middle to terrible teams were the path of the least resistance for this organization which is always the path they hammer down. We’re paying for with Couturier for sure now, Sanheim might be getting there soon, & Konecny it’s still fresh.

Risto is a Meteor on the RISE

So it's a blended "synthetic goals" stat built from his personal models for 5v5 shots, PP/PK shots, xGF and impact on penalties drawn/taken?

I have no idea what to think of that.

Sanheim I think will have value either way. He’s been fairly durable, and the style of play doesn’t scream like he should be breaking down - even though the miles are technically there.

TK I’ve got concerns about. You’re wanting him to play a prime age Gallagher/Arvidsson style to make the contract worth it. Time will tell.

I’d bounce out of Farabee ASAP if his production stabilizes any doubts of his trade value. It’s just a personal thing but I fear extensions with questions around health. They can’t extend Joel imo.

It would be a smart move to try to salvage value out of Drysdale as well, but I’m not sure that can be done.

Yes, usually with a change that large, it's probably due to shot quality, for and against.

It’s a good model, similar to an xGAR/GAR. But it’s a little bit different….THERE IS ALSO ONLY 5 GAMES! All this stat talk is just flat out moot (not specifically directed at you)

I'm going to compare the Flyers to Buffalo until the end of time, and there isn't anything you can do to stop me.

Anybody order a #1 center Poehling jersey yet?

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Ersson has the best hair on the team

No, Laughton, give him the C.
