Confirmed with Link: Keith Yandle Signs One Year Deal With Flyers ($900K W/ NTC)

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah, a bunch of assholes from Boston. Exactly what makes a good locker room. God bless Claude Giroux for having to deal with all the talking that's going to go on between these guys.

lol so much for this

We need a plain "crying" button.

 

[bennysflyers16]

What is the worst plus minus of all time ?

 

[FLYguy3911]

What is the worst plus minus of all time ?

-82

Pretty much everyone who played for the 74-75 Caps.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

What is the worst plus minus of all time ?

Worst for a career is Bob Stewart who was an impressive -257 in only 575 games.

Risto is 18th all time, at the moment.

how do you do that?

So Chuck signed someone with the 18th worst plus minus of all time... a defenseman...
for 5 million dollars?

So is he now caring about advanced stats or is he actually too lazy to look at someone's f***ing PLUS MINUS?

this is the utter truth

Risto on pace to shatter Yandle's record unless Sanheim carries him his whole career

 

[Ironmanrulez]

I want sanheim traded. Dont want him to be broken by this franchise and risto!

we gotta let the kids go. It's what is best for them. It hurts but it's true.

 

[Magua]

9 strokes ahead of almost Flyer Seth Jones, in half the ice time per game, this was one of the most dominant performances in recent years.

 

[Striiker]

OK, so now that we have a full season to judge off of...

We can confirm that he's much better than Ghost, right?

At a fraction of the cap hit!

 

[Larry44]

Very glad to see the farewell handshakes from both teams for Yandle, who seems to be retiring a season too late. F Yandle.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Could be the worst season I've ever seen a player turn in.

Yeah but what about that cap hit!

The players don’t pay his salary, so they can do what they want. Also they are probably friends.

I agree though generally that it’s a farce compared to others like Chara and Brown

I had no problem with it. Just glad it saves us worrying about him returning.

I don't think I've ever hated a Flyer more.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I don't think I've ever hated a Flyer more.

That's interesting, I have never actually thought about ranking these. There are six who are definitely in the mix prior to the present day:

Craig MacTavish
Ulf Samuelsson
Mike Bullard
Jaromir Jagr
Chris Pronger
Paul Coffey

Yandle doesn't even move the needle for me. I really had an irrational hatred of Nick Schultz, believe it or not, because he was such shit garbage.

The one who is really making a case is Kev, obviously. He might be the one, considering everything. I really, really f***ing hate Bullard, though, and there are no words for how much I hate Macf***ing Tavish, seriously. I'll have to give it some more thought.

 

[deadhead]

Funny thing was over the last 20 games, after the TDL, Yandle really wasn't that bad. Not good, but not terrible.

xGF 47.35, xGFrel -1.49, 1.15 pp/60 (5x5), PP xGF/60: 10.87
One reason may be he only played 15 of those 20 games, i.e., with rest he got a little bounce back in his legs.

Another reason was he was paired with young D-men who could actually skate:
Yandle - Zamula 47 minutes, xGF 59.53%
Yandle - Attard 41 minutes xGF 55.56%
42 minute with Seeler and Connauton, xGF 26% or so

Yandle might have worked out if there wasn't the streak and if they had someone to pair with him on his right side who could cover for his old legs. Even if Ellis was healthy, not sure Braun was the right partner for him.

Yandle was terrible after the TDL. I don't know how you dream this stuff up.

 

[kudymen]

Even if it were true (which it ain't, simple as that), what is actually funny how for some players or managers it is possible to leave out some stretches and for others it is "meh that makes him tallest midget, useless, can't leave this out"

 

[Larry44]

I don't think I've ever hated a Flyer more.

I hate Hayes more, especially since there are how many years left to go?

 

[Curufinwe]

What was his xG on this play?
