Basically the same contract York got last year.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Good signing - he had his ups and downs - but i really like this for emotional intelligence purposes

 

[BiggE]

Ok

 

[orangey]

Smart to keep him in the fold and a decent signing overall. He's got two more years to try to put it all together. He has some talent but consistency is the issue with him.

They’re over the cap now. LTIR or trade time

 

[mr figgles]

They’ll just put Ellis and maybe Johansen on LTIR when the time comes… they should have space from trading Konecny, Hathaway, and Laughton, but we need that culture cup

It just shows how unnecessary signing EJ was. Top six-York, Sanheim, Seeler, Drysdale, Zamula, Ristolainen. The Attard and Ginning. Where was a the need to blow a million on EJ?

#team run it back...

They just need to lose Attard on waivers to solidify new era orange.

Think of the locker room and the culture with EJ on the team!

 

[PALE PWNR]

Both this and the brink deal are good value, and short enough to not affect us of they fall off the face of the earth

They can't help themselves.

Zamula is a really good developing player. He can handle the puck, he can skate, he's got good size and can play solid D. He can play on the PP. What's not to like? He needs to get more experience and to fill out a bit more.

Armchair GM BlackandOrange approves this signing.

Developing his transition game is key. Once he gets in the zone he is really good at moving the puck, hence his play on PP.

Pseronally, I'm no longer banking on potential upside. With Zamula I more and more get that feeling of a depth player you can put on any pairing ond either side and deploy in any situation and just forget about him. If he can be that guy, more than fine.

This is always what I've figured he is, but it's vastly better to raise those guys internally than it is to trade for them or compete in FA for dudes usually heading towards decline.

Especially with the dmen the Flyers prefer in FA and trades.

EJ was a waste, though that million doesn't matter in a sense. Whether it goes to EJ or one of those others. Remove EJ and Ginning eats up that million

Johnson's salary is whatever, it's more the fact that Flyers always fall in love with some cooked vet who's going to help them win the Culture Cup or the Best Lockeroom Trophy. There were better dmen available who cost the same or less.

Agreed, and the explanation that the Flyers don't want prospects healthy-scratched for extended periods is myopic because the tendency is always there to put in Johnston when there's an injury or need to change the lineup. I would much rather have Attard up and rotating in and out of the lineup.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

I have nothing against this signing. But i dont understand the process. We just signing every player from last year and think we get other results... not one new signing for the new season. Only Mitchkov is new.

Are you to suggest all our under 25 players are not going to take steps forward, that the entire team will be stagnant?

I would love for th Flyers to provide an actual, real example of a time their culture warriors have actually saved the day. Not the usual empty "it's intangible!" nonsense. Tell us when the intangible yielded a tangible result.

Do we think they would have anything beyond Lappy getting brain damaged? I think that would be fascinating to learn. Are we carting out washed up slobs in the hope they get their skulls dented and everyone rallies around it? Is their strategy based on human sacrifice?
