Youth played plenty last year. They demonstrated an inability to play though with the exception of Cates and York in his second recall. Cripes they played Frost all year and he’s a borderline NHLer.

Actually, the borderline NHLer who played all year was MacEwen, not Frost.

9 points in 75 games. His P/GP of 0.12 was tied for 8th worst in the league of forwards who played at least 41 games.

A true veteran who paid his dues for many years. Are we writing an obituary? What on earth is happening in here?

Always remember that Milbury had defenders too.

I need an Alonzo Mourning Reaction for these situations. Whomst do I speak to about this?

Against their will. Injuries forced it. Fletcher explained that all these veteran slobs were signed to stop that from happening again.

Well if the youth ain’t any better good. The reality is most of the youth isn’t anywhere close to being NHL ready and never will. I should have included Tippet in my initial post.

If Zamula can bulk up and Allison can stay healthy they will play. Not sure any of the rest that were around have a chance either than Brink and Attard and neither looked anywhere ready.

The rest are fill ins for a game or two at best.

The next generation of Wisdom, Desnoyers Foerster etc are hopefully better but they aren’t ready this year, at least until trade deadline

The youth are better. That's the thing. They're better than all the shit veterans Fletcher loves, and who block them. And they have upside to boot. That's even with a development program that seems to destroy their potential.

Fair enough. He was the best option we had but we finally have a true heavyweight. You can’t be successful in the Metro without one.

I disagree. Other than the few I listed they don’t have upside. They are AHL fodder

Carolina shits all over this theory annually.

How many cups have the Pens won in last 15 years ?

In last decade we have had some BADDDDDDDDD 4th lines, this year we trump them all.

"The team will get younger"

His 2 prized UFA's are what, 65 yrs old combined ?

 

[Striiker]

I'd love to see someone claim that Yandle was better than the youth defensemen. Because he definitely played over them last year.

Go ahead. Someone do it. One of them is definitely shameless enough.

A player who "isn't going to play every night" doesn't get a four year contract with a limited NTC.

I remember when Yandle and Thompson weren't going to play every night, even though we insisted they would.

I also remember who was right.

 

[deadhead]

Thompson played every night? He was MIA most of the season.
Yandle was a weird situation, had he not had that streak (and some promise) he'd been benched months before.

Every single night he was healthy he played. If he hadn't gotten injured he'd have played 82 games. You're very good at selectively forgetting facts that make Fletcher look like shit.

Is it good management to damage the team and keep playing the worst dman in the league to pursue a meaniningless, contrived, and empty streak?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Woooof.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I have no idea why teams even sign 4th liners. They should be filled internally or through waivers.

 

[Hurricane28]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Toronto signed Jarnkrok for 200k more than Nic the prick got at the same term

List the games he was a healthy scratch

No trade clauses for 4th liners. Lol.

This dude is such a bottom.
