Flyers 2017 Training Camp Discussion Thread

[FLYguy3911]

I'd rather see 23 in the lineup than 47.

 

[boxcar65]

Mac is constantly falling down, losing board battles, getting knocked off the puck, etc. His offensive instinct MAY be slightly better than #23, but that's about it.

Besides, Manning has his own clothing line now at Dynasty Sports. That alone should move him solidly into the top 6!!!

 

[Hurricane28]

Lombardi was hired to do some work under Hextall per LeBrun

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I guess this was always coming. I hope it's not the Lombardi of his last few years.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hopefully not cap management.

In all seriousness it's probably what he did before when he was here. He was a pro scout on the west coast for the Flyers.

Lehtera and Andy Mac better be vigilant with their luggage.

 

[Tripod]

Bringing Doughty to Philly in 2 years.

 

[GKJ]

Hired to figure out the loophole where we can get out of more contracts.

 

[Curufinwe]

Group 2 lines from today per Isaac. Same as yesterday I think, but for reference I'll post them.

Weal-Patrick-Simmonds
Raffl-Laughton-Read
Bunnaman/Twarysnki-Varone-Vecchione
Weise-Couturier-Voracek
Goulbourne-Fazleev-Martel

Manning-Myers
Hagg-Ghost
Hora-Willcox
Brennan-Gudas

 

[GKJ]

Am I going to have to sit through Goulbourne getting pre-season games? Or is he just running there because he is too old for rookie camp?

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Manning-Myers
Hagg-Ghost
Hora-Willcox
Brennan-Gudas

where would you put giroux and lindbolm

 

[Lotusflower]

If there was a 32nd team in the league McDonald would play in the NHL.

He should have played over either of the Wonder Twins from jump. He actually brought positive attributes to the ice

 

[Psuhockey]

Bringing Doughty to Philly in 2 years.

If not next summer.

Although I think the Kings wont move him, holding out hope they can resign him until he actually walks.

Short of letting him walk thats second most stupid decision they could make.
You just can't let that kind of talent go. True n1 dmen are most scarce commodity. Just look at Capitals _ perennial contender, but arguably only thing they missed throughout the years is n1 d.

 

[Curufinwe]

These are the line combos from last year that scored three or more goals.
If you search "PHI" it gets back mainly Flyers lines.

https://www.leftwinglock.com/line-production/

Weise-Couturier-Schenn = 12 goals
Konecny-Couturier-Voracek = 11
Raffl-Giroux-Voracek = 9
Schenn-Giroux-Simmonds = 7
Weal-Filppula-Simmonds = 6
VdV-Bellemare-Luyubimov = 6
Konecny-Schenn-Simmonds = 6
Cousins-Couturier-Read=4
Weal-Giroux-Simmonds = 4
Konecny-Giroux-Voracek = 3
Raffl-Bellemare-Read = 3

Yep. Doughty strikes me as being like JT on the Islanders. He'll hold out as long as he can for the team that drafted him to right the ship.

TK-Couts-Jake was always good.

Caps mistake was moreso stitching the C to a prima donna Russian shooter. Fate was decided at that moment, 1D or not.

 

[Bobby Orr's Knees]

Best case scenario - Morin looks great with Amac who is now seen as a mentor for young D. A bidding war develops between super sharp gm's in Vancouver and Colorado for his services. Reluctantly we trade him for a first in 2019.

I really like his scenario. I would even part would Amac for free. A bag of cold pucks would be nice, but not necessary.

We just have to hope that our fate will not be decided when the C is switched to a prima donna Russian D in a few years.

 

[Embiid]

So Meltzer noted that Kosorenkov will most likey get signed by the Flyers or another NHL team...hopefully the former and not the latter. He looks like a good player from what I saw of him at the rookie game...

This narrative again.

Doan is/was a good ol' Canadian farm boy and he couldnt even make the playoffs regularly. I could go down the line.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Hopefully Ivan Kosorenkov plays in the game tomorrow in Long Island, I would like to see how he plays since I couldn't see the rookie game.
I would like to see Kosorenkov paired with Rubtsov and Vorobyov for tomorrow's game.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Is there a rule saying that another team can't sign Kosorenkov while he's with the Flyers?

 

[GKJ]

They brought Kosorenkov to main camp, I can't imagine they let him walk away.
