2024-25 Roster Thread #1: The Beginninging

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.

Would have been nice for the cowards to admit he never should have been here and how moronic it was to not have him playing at all and exposing him to Torts and his loser culture.

Shouldn’t play next year either unless he puts up 120 pts

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Non zero chance they thought they had to send him down today with it being the 8th game today and 9th game being tomorrow, right?

[bennysflyers16]

All the teams that passed on this guy should be fired.

Love Deady

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.

There are plenty of reasons to be harsh on this team, all deserved, but being real, this was the correct decision, credit to them for doing the obviously correct thing this time. I don't mind Luchanko getting some time with the big club to get a taste of it, but he needs to play regularly, with a big offensive role, and that wasn't happening in Philly.

@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.

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]

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?

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.

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.
