[pit]

Best move of the week: Forgetting to come into the Roster thread.
Worst move of the week: Backreading the last 10 pages of the Roster thread in one sitting.

Just call me sinboxhead.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Abols called up.

Laughton, Poehling, and Johnson missing from practice.

Oh hey nice

 

[deadhead]

Abols has been on a roll in LHV, but at 29 can't imagine he's in their future plans.

Hopefully he gets into a game, but if he stays in NA his future is probably an AHL plus call up type on a nice split contract ($400K/$750)

 

[Beef Invictus]

... he's in their future plans....

Any Latvian game in NHL is a bonus, and for FLYERS? So don't ruin my party w your rational analysis [:

 

[ybnvs]

You say it takes 5 years to tank and be competitive. Every year they waste adds another year to that. 15 years and counting.

Since 2016 the guy has said we are 2 years from being a contender, then it morphed into being 2 years from 2 years away...

And now we're almost 10 years into that terrible projection and far worse off.

He's a f***ing Borg, man.

Resistance is futile.
You will be assimilated.

You'll get to see him tonight, Laughton is out.
Lycksell and Abols played together for a stretch in LHV, so this should ease the transition.

Report is they put Poehling on IR. If true, and Abols was called up, a really rebuilding team would play him every game and not need a second injury to force them to play him.

Briere is a f***ing Buffoon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning replay it is.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Briere is in over his head. He’s too scared to be in this position.

He sure seems like he is.

What now?

 

[Curufinwe]

Report is they put Poehling on IR. If true, and Abols was called up, a really rebuilding team would play him every game and not need a second injury to force them to play him.

I mean, Poehling is three years younger than Abols

 

[Curufinwe]

Anyone wanna summarize?

 

[dragonoffrost]

That's not a reason not to see what Abols has....Don't call a guy who who's not going to play and if it means the trash can get rotated out for a game with the excuse that you called up Abols to take Poehlings roster spot you do it in a rebuild.

Listening on 1.5 speed...

Sounds like Ersson has chronic groin issues going to back to the surgery he had in 2022

Sam Ersson Eager for Healthy Return - Lehigh Valley Phantoms

by Bill Meltzer for philadelphiaflyers.com July 18, 2022 The 2021-22 season did not go the way Samuel Ersson envisioned it after the highly regarded Swedish netminder arrived in Allentown for his first season of North American pro hockey. Recurring groin issues limited the Lehigh Valley Phantoms...

No rush to move Risto. Not shopping him.

- Personally, I hope he stays and keeps his non-playoff streak in tact.

No contract discussions yet with the four big RFAs (Cates, York, Foerster and Frost)

Scotty's not a rental. Important to the dressing room. Didn't love his start to the season, like a lot of players. Critical to our culture, but if there's something that makes too much sense, it's our duty to do the right thing for the organization.

You sick bastard.

I completely agree, since this franchise is being run like a big joke. Like, why not right?

 

[Beef Invictus]

He sure seems like he is.

A month or two before he was made GM he was on record saying he didn't think he was ready for the job.

He was right.

It's not easy to be this consistently wrong all the time on accident. This is a generational level of wrongness. We are lucky in a way

If Rodrigo doesn't show some Brazilian skills I'll be highly disappointed.
