This isn’t supported by anything, PV didn’t offer Eakins a new contract, that’s it, not like he fired him or blasted him on his way out. He also could've easily moved on after 2022-23 but he instead chose to pick his option up

Have some Flyers fans in my dynasty league and heard them talking about how Torts basically said Drysdale needs to learn how to play hockey.
Around the 11 minute mark but not quite what he said, sounds more like Torts thinks there's a lot to work on to get him back to pace and take his game to the next level. But it coming right on the heels of praise of Rasmus Ristolainen of all people.

Yikes. I know Torts has his preferences, but that's still not a good sign for Jamie.

I dunno. I think it's more of a factual report because Jamie's essentially missed a season and a half, with last year being split between two orgs. Conflate that with Anaheim and Philly implementing two different defensive schemes, Jamie has to unlearn the man scheme and learn the zone scheme. When compared to Risto, it's difficult to argue that since Risto will be turning 30 years old and Drysdale is 22 years old.

He just wanted to test exactly how much he can get away with now as a non-Duck.
If he was a Duck, they probably would have taken him straight to jail for that.

I apologize for posting it first. It will be the only time I get to post anything about the Rangers before you.

Drysdale is playing on Philly’s top PP unit, but Torts only played him 7 minutes at even strength tonight.

That's one way of bringing him on slowly. Drysdale was on the ice for two PP goals.

Still seems like their fans aren't very happy with him unfortunately. That's a shame.

he couldn't even produce in the german league. hope he had a backup plan ready for when hockey stopped working out, because his playing days are over. i could see him ending up in one of those semi-pro goon leagues like LNAH

Put up 2 points in 8 games with Iserlohn of the DEL last year, yikes. Iserlohn, a city about a fourth the size of Des Moines.
Didn't he get released from that team when he went nuts on a guy in a game? It's even hard for me to positively remember that series-winning goal against Edmonton.

His contract with the Finnish team Kärpät was terminated in the beginning of this year before he went to Germany. Yeah he went nuts in a game, though I don't think that was the only reason they terminated his contract. Someone can correct me but I remember he was in a bad shape and had attitude issues. Took bad penalties as always, so not really ideal type of player. Ritchie got 1+4 in 10 games at least.
