Confirmed with Link: Flyers Acquiring Massimo Rizzo Anyway - "I Hear He's a Real Crumb Bum." , plus ‘25 5th for David Kase

[freakydallas13]

Fun fact: Morin and Kase have the exact same number of NHL goals!

Probably the same amount of NHL games played as a forward too.

 

[Sombastate]

time to start our prospect poll all over

 

[wankstifier]

The Rizzler is top 5

time to start our prospect poll all over

its probably a safe bet he has more upside than Zayde Wisdom

 

[Beef Invictus]

I will laugh every time I see this

 

[wasup]

Nothing Burger for Nothing Burger plus a fifth , nothing to see hear .

 

[deadhead]

The safer bet is he has a higher floor than Wisdom.
Wisdom is hard to project, good start to his career, playing in the AHL at 18, but a shoulder injury set him back.
Still, he's only 21 this season, no reason to write him off just yet.

zayde is leading the most recent poll, not writing him off at all

I'm still trying to figure out if the blocking one is a third. like 2 being blocked by 1 = 3. or the there's 2 out but the third is blocking anything else from coming out, so technically is there just the 2 because the third isn't in the bowl yet due to lack of fiber or too much cheese or something. I don't know.

Kase famously was famously one of eight forwards used before NAK in the 19-20 season by genius GM, Chuck Fletcher. After that season, their NHL careers were more or less over.

Andreoff - 15 NHL games since
Bunnaman - 33 NHL games since
Kase - 1 NHL game since
Morin - 20 NHL games since (retired)
Rubtsov - 0 NHL games since
Stewart - 0 NHL games since (retired)
Twarynski - 7 NHL games since
Vorobyev - 0 NHL games since

Andreaoff had great season last year, shoud be doing fine as 13th forward for Torts

 

[Flyer lurker]

Well, at least we got a 5th...looking forward to see what tough guy the Flyers draft with it

Draft?
That 5th will be for the new 44.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So you got the 17 year old and Baskow claiming that Rizzo was signing a two year ELC worth $925k.

I'm too lazy to think about it so i'll ask in here... Is that the only deal that Rizzo could sign at this point anyway?

ASF has since shot down that contract talk so sure smells of clout chasing.

Finally, someone asking the right hard-hitting questions.

Things that make you think

He's 22 so yeah, I think so.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

God bless the clout chasers.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Nice doing business with you boys! Perhaps at the deadline, we could get a gently used Konecny?

For his sake and ours, I would love to see him moved to a competent team. Otherwise, he’s going to hurt our draft position.

 

[Math the wild rose]

How could you put a defenseman in a forwards list and call that information about guys who didn't make the league? I wonder sometimes when I read dark brown sausages like that.

Just so we are clear, you've gone from his biggest detractor to his biggest supporter?

Sam, is that you? Big fan.

Seems like he made up with Sam's mom (and her évil aurá) after all those years

This seems like a good list, not to give too much credit to the Flyers

That's my impression as well, although I'll say I have little to no read on the players of the most recent few years - Sotheran, Bump, and Murchison.
