Cutter is pointless so far in 3 games this season. So is Jamie.

We won!

Drysdale still sux....

A cross between Karl Dykhuis and Andrew McDonald. Can only hope my original comparison of Matt Carle comes true as a consolation...

Both players are question marks, Gauthier just got benched after 4 games and Drysdale is a work in progress. The 2nd rd pick should be top 40.

I expect Gauthier to be a better version of Tippett, good goal scorer who is meh otherwise.
But getting benched on a bad team after two years of college is not a good look.

Cronin's a hardo.

Still a horrendous trade.

Those 2 were actually passable at playing defense. So far JD has not been. He aint even Greg Hawgood

He seems to have confidence issues.....maybe the injuries have affected his psyche a bit. Hopefully, he snaps out of it but he does look rather bad on D....

Getting called out by your coach saying you don't know how to play is a worse look.

One can hope. All the Flyers can do at this point is be patient. My hope is he is healthy and plays 75 games. Then you build on that and hope the rest comes.

What I really wonder is how long it takes the coach to distance himself from the player and the trade. Then put him in the Torts house.

Drysdale has looked better so far this season, and that's without Seeler.

As far as Gauthier:

Seems from Canuck fans he just floats around, got benched for a failed back check that led to a goal.

Another player who put on 20 lbs in the offseason.

JD has looked terrible. Adding no value at all so far.

IDK about terrible but yeah he isn't exactly making me feel psyched about that trade.
