2024-25 Roster Thread #2: Midseasonnar

[Flyerfan4life]

That was slightly demoralizing. Talks about not making detailed notes on players and that not being his thing. Didn't sound like the smartest dude tbh.

#shocked i tell you...

I'd rather have a nutless monkey than Torts.

That be one and the same animal.

That moment when I needed a small favour from my neighbour (hockey fan) and our small talk revolved around Rodrigo Ābols [:

Is it super expensive to get a Flyers Abols jersey delivered to you?

Everything I've ordered from USA from official stores thus far has been PITA in terms of price AND customs. And, as much as I love Rodrigo being part of this team, 120USD for the jersey (excl. all the other costs)... He's just here because we suck (in general and at C position).

 

[renberg]

There is a rumor that Bettman is allowing deals to be made during the Four Nations break but they can’t be announced until after the tournament is over. Has anyone heard of this?

 

[Curufinwe]

There's no roster freeze, so GMs can make any deals they like.

 

[ellja3]

Yes, they are allowed to, officially. It's just not advertised too much to not take away the (already low) attention from Nations thingie

"You might also want to familiarize yourself with the slang term "bump", as you'll need a few to survive the next few years of Flyera hockey."

No scouting staff overrates their marginal prospects more than Flahr and company.

You doubt the team that "developed" Farabee into a cap dump can properly develop this 5th round pick?

 

[Deadpool8812]

Bump turns into a fringe NHLer in my EHM game, and that's with me, an elite player developer (), developing him.

I have zero faith in this organization developing this guy into anything NHL worthy.

 

[BiggE]

I'd rather have a nutless monkey than Torts.

We already have one working as our GM.

 

[renberg]

In all fairness, Bump is a definite prospect with a chance to be a middle six wing sometime next season. So is Devin Kaplan. If the Flyers have one place on their roster where they have some players it's at wing.

 

[Curufinwe]

Middle 6 in the AHL maybe

Remember when we were told how much they loved Hunter McDonald and how he could be on the Flyers sooner rather than later?

Can Hunter McDonald make this Flyers team out of camp?

Hunter McDonald is an interesting player to compare against the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers’ crop of young talent.

according to almost everyone in the Flyers front office, this 22-year-old defenseman might just be the perfect fit to compliment their smaller, more offensive-oriented blue line that they are building right now. Keith Jones, Danny Briere — whoever you can think of, if they were sat down in front of a microphone this past season and asked a question about the future group of defensemen on this team, McDonald’s name came up.

At first, it was a little puzzling. Why would they really praise a guy who scored six points in college? And then you start to think a little bit more about what they really like about some blueliners. He might just be the counterweight.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is what happens when you draft for depth.

 

[trostol]

so..get excited about a guy they haven't even signed yet ...ok

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i bet Kuz. must be super happy he waived his NTC. for Flyers only to read they gunna flip him at deadline..

i bet that wasnt part of the "we need you" phonecall..

 

[BiggE]

The massive boners that this organization has for current and future 4th line forwards and 6/7 D is frightening.

If these clowns had been running the Flyers in 1984, they would have signed Lindsey Carson to a 6 year extension while trading Ilkka Sinisalo because he didn’t block enough shots.

 

[Magua]

I’ve said myself that Bump is a solid C-tier prospect. There are NHL tools, unlike a few of their other college performers. But I’ve seen guys like Allison and Laczynski underperform too.

But they hype him up because they have jack shit. Bump might very well be a top 5 skater prospect (Luchanko, Bonk, Barkey, Knuble?) and that’s pathetic. Floor and fringe players galore.

Bob Uecker has nominated the Flyers the trojan end boner of franchise award.
