Welcome to the 800 club, Aleksei! You'll fit in nicely.

Ersson, .872
Kolosov, .833
Fedotov, .821

Watched two periods.

Michkov seemed to have an off night, several poor passing choices and turn overs, soft on the puck.

The team as a whole is soft on the puck and the defensive lapses are one after another.

Is Caufield worth a York and a Brink? Quality over quantity.
Caufield was there at 14 and you could have had Brink and Caufield. York went 14 Cole went 15. Oh but you would have to play a small skill lineup. THE HORROR THE HORROR.

Boldy didn't make 14 but yeah I think most would Boldy over York/Brink combo.

What this weekend showed you is Couts and Sanheim are still way in front as the Flyers best players present and future with the exception of Michkov. But its not Flusher's fault at all.

GM's know what he brings to the table. His value will not change. I highly doubt their perception will change. He would be a very last resort type trade if that.

He been ok. Nothing more. Also if he continues to play "well" the Flyers will be less inclined to move him don't you think? Seeing they have no one ready to replace him anytime soon.
Values of players definitely can change over time. What did we give up for Risto again? Wont get close to that. Sean Walker was a throw in on a trade and we almost got a first for him. Tons of examples. Bonk will replace Risto someday.

Walker wasn't a throw in, he was there for cap purposes sure. Not a throw in as he has always been a top 4 dman when healthy.

Risot value will not change. You may disagree and that is ok.

No, he wasn't. UDFA. Was starting to emerge at 25, blew out his knee at 26, came back as a 3rd pair D-man at 28, LA thought he was expendable.

What exactly is wrong with York? Playing on the first pair and looked better than last season before he was slammed into the boards. If he ends up a #2 that's pretty darn good.

Caufield is a good goal scorer. Over his career 25 goals per 82 games at ES.
But he's not a special player. One trick pony with a very good trick.

Before his injury a top 4 guy. After yes played 3rd pair minutes which isn't surprising. He wasm ore of a cap dump not a throw in. Now back to a top 4 guy

Walker came at a discount because he struggled his first year back after a major knee injury, but I don't think he was a throw in.
