Gurianov is not an NHL level player. That's my only comment.

I don't think Wade Allison was, either. Maybe at one point he had the potential.

 

[tymed]

Always been a fan of Wade's attitude and skillset but his skating mechanics are so unstable still that each shift is a risk of him going down.

AHL for AHL, I like that hes speedy !!

Erik Johnson too ,,,, but why ?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I thought for sure he would of returned a 1st round pick

Gurianov is not an NHL level player. That's my only comment.

I was never convinced Allison was, either.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Gurianov does nothing for me, possibly even less than nothing.

The real story here is DiMarco got one so he's now batting .100.

Erik Johnson too ,,,, but why ?

To pair with Staal obv

 

[trostol]

Alright then. What have we learned?

nothing?

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Seems like a lateral move, but plays lw, could slot into the starting line up when needed

 

[snoop88]

Crap for crap

Had a lot of potential but due to terrible coaching and roster decisions and brutal injuries along the way, never reached it. I’m guessing this will be another Phil Myers type result.

5% is higher than about nine other guys on the roster IIRC imho.

 

[DancingPanther]

This is a big move

For the Phantoms

I don't think either one of you is wrong, but I'm reasonably sure we know more about Gurianov.

Meltzer said recently that Allison would never play for the Flyers again after he took his AHL demotion badly and got called out by Lappy.

 

[Shrike]

I don’t mind this. Change of scenery trade.

Was that tweeted or at HB?

 

[GKJ]

Don't really care if Gurianov is good or bad, I'm not expecting him to get great opportunities, but at least they're taking a chance on skill and see it for themselves.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I like it. Always thought Gurianov was gonna be good. I think he showed a little more than Allison at least.

 

[landsbergfan]

Chris Pryor is running Nashville scouting still or did that change with Trotz?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Gurianov does nothing for me, possibly even less than nothing.

The real story here is DiMarco got one so he's now batting .100.

Di Marco is taking some Bartolo Colon hacks up there this deadline.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Why do we need another forward

Why

 

[BiggE]

Gurianov is not an NHL level player. That's my only comment.

So he’s still better than Nic D, right?

 

[ponder719]

Erik Johnson too ,,,, but why ?

Gurianov makes the team's average speed too high. Needed to bring the number down to levels they could comprehend.
