Let the record show I do not hate the idea of signing Yandle the player. Good job, Chuck.

What I do hate is the idea that this guy is likely to block someone like York or Zamula as we've seen in the past with other prospects and completely useless players. A year from now we'll be told by people that none of this mattered and if they were good they would have made the team regardless of who was in their way. Bad job, Chuck.

There is virtually no chance York plays more than 20 games this season. This guy was our 1st round pick in 2019, has only gotten better, and is NHL ready. Why are we putting road blocks in front of him? This is exactly what Sanheim went through, except it was Brandon f***ing Manning playing in front of him for a whole year when he was ready.

I don't mind the signing unless it bumps York out which I guess is what it looks like.

This is far from his worst deal of this offseaaon, don't get me wrong. Cap implications is minimal. It's the dow hill effects that are troubling.

Prov-Ellis
Sanheim - Risto
Yandle- Braun
Morin/york/zamula

York and Zamula are now AHL bound which isn't what we want to see.

This is a perfectly fine signing. People need to relax.

When is okay for Cam York to play for the Flyers?

Meanwhile the guy Fletcher passed up for him was having a big impact in the Stanley Cup Finals already.

JUST f***ING PLAY CAM YORK.

If he stumbles, play ZAMULA.

If he stumbles too, then you see what is out there.

Why did they even re-sign Morin? To be the 9th dman? They were in perfectly fine shape without having to bring in a veteran road block for Hayes to pal around with.
