2024-25 Roster Thread #2: Midseasonnar

[Kelmitchell2]

I believe he got his start in the business working in the Flyers PR Department. So yeah.

Unfortunately he did, so he's used to, and definitely a mouth piece for this trash organization

 

[Curufinwe]

So, essentially, caution of current FO is put aside and trigger is pulled only if Crosby-like talent somehow becomes available. Gotcha.

Well, Arizona did it with Ghost. But that was a special situation.

 

[Curufinwe]

Zamula being out is really bad for the D because it pushes Drysdale up. They should recall Andrae and go:

York-Sanheim
Andrae-Risto
Seeler-Drysdale

Best I can offer is a Ginning.

Double shifting Drysdale seems like a worse proposition.

Jumped the gun on the upcoming Risto trade

 

[Shrike]

If only they chased talent with same commitment that they chase grit

 

[Flyerfan4life]

If only they chased talent with same commitment that they chase grit

they think grit IS talent

Best I can offer is a Ginning.

If they really, truly put their mind to it, they might be able to acquire a slightly more NHL-ready Adam sometime tomorrow.

Speaking about Ristolainen, it was announced that Heiskanen is week to week and will also be missing the Four Nations Tournament. This would be a perfect time for him to have a good tournament and maybe work out a trade with Dallas.

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet. Looks like they're gearing up to to something dumb.

 

[Lord Defect]

I’ve been to two games this year, both free tickets. IMO no other sport is as fun being in person that hockey.
Yet both games I wanted to be anywhere other than where I was. The arena was as silent as a morgue, I was bored to tears. The most entertaining thing on the ice was the second intermissions inflatable costume character race.
They’re not just a boring team, they are a bad, poorly ran, boring team.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Hopefully Kuzmenko strings couple of high scoring games and they lock themselves into stupid contract before he ends the year riding the bench. Pelletier is prototypical current era flyer.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

both these guys will be gone within 2 years..

absolute plugs

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

But we will clear the cap space to trade for Bo Horvat type that is both big and has rep of being defensively responsible.

Frost and Farabee were also gone in two years.

When you project the Flyers forward:
1) Cates, Jett and a top six center to be named later (draft pick/trade)
2) Tippett, Foerster, Couts, Barkey, Pelletier at LW
3) Michkov, TK, Brink, at RW

The top six center is the key acquisition.

It's much easier to fill out wings, either big muckers who can skate or smurfs with skills are available in the later 1st rd and 2nd rds - but full sized two way centers are hard to obtain outside the top 15 or so.

What about players who passed through waivers earlier in the season, are they good?

Looks like both guys get to keep their numbers from Calgary.

 

[Curufinwe]

Drysdale was terrible again last night?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers are 24th, lost their last two games 8-0 combined, and they play the Avs & Utah away, plus Was & Pit at home before the break.

 

[BiggE]

Be afraid

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Be afraid

6M per year for Laughton coming up.

 

[deadhead]

That suggests that the Cap wasn't much of an issue, and they were less interested in dumping Farabee's cap hit than dumping Farabee (i.e. they saw him as a bottom six forward going forward who wasn't a good fit for that role). And that they could have easily paid Frost if they wanted to keep him.

It also means TK, Sanheim and Tippett are bargains.
