Is it wrong to say I’d be more impressed if he faked the shot and passed to his teammate for a one timer? Low % shots were a thing his draft year, and that is that.

Maybe, but when he gets the puck, the player was skating with his back to him. It’s not like he was in position with his stick up ready for the pass.

But I get the idea. In an NHL game, that probably ends up a throw away shot.
 
York has all his points on the PP, at ES he's -3 with zero points.
Maybe he's not quite a finished product.

I think if Couts, JVR and Atkinson were healthy, they might be more aggressive playing young defensemen, but right now with the forward lines a jumble, and a lot of inexperienced forwards, there's no urgency to work York and Attard into the lineup.
 
In case you hadn’t noticed, the Flyers 2nd PP unit run by Provorov has been atrocious.

The Phantoms under Lappy are a bad team
even with a loaded roster, and they don’t have a .950 goalie to bail them out. Most of the team are even or minus.

Actually, they're playing much better the last few games, 39 shots yesterday.
It's not going to hurt York's development to spend a few months in the AHL.

Players with great anticipation can see the better play (a royal road cross-ice pass) before it develops. Gauthier didn’t anticipate it, see it, or even think about it.

He has a great shot for sure. He leaves something to be desired though in the play-reading/anticipation aspect of the game though.

Considering “the wonders” that is the Flyers player development system, I don’t anticipate (pun intended) him developing this further to any kind of considerable improvement. They’re likely just telling him, “shoot, shoot some more, and don’t forget to also shoot.”

Because he's not ready and the Flyers have better players.

A 21-year-old with less than 90 games of pro hockey and two seasons of college hockey playing in the AHL is about right.

York is probably better right now than the similarly inexperienced Zamula, the old as dirt Braun, the AHL lifer Seeler, and definitely better than that overpaid clown on skates Ristolainen.

Then why would John Tortorella and Chuck Fletcher - two men whose livelihood is based on results and who have just a tad more experience in professional hockey - be playing those other fellows?

I'll defer to their judgement.

The player opened up for a one timer. There’s a tight window when he turns; I’d expect a good playmaker to intuit that’s about to happen. The shooter did.

He’s not a bad passer, but if we are talking scoring ceilings, settling for that shot on the PP is not it. I expect a 5th overall pick, and a supposed center, to make that pass read. Low % shots outside the circles was a dependency on the NTDP. I saw that goal and it left my brain instantly when evaluating him for the next level.

Did you know he's playing on an awful team? That seems like important context.

This is not a loaded roster. They don't have any forwards that project as top line NHL forwards and one defenseman who projects as a top 4 guy. They're probably a playoff team the way the league structures it but even then it's on the strength of lapi and dreaded ahl veterans. Fletcher sucks

Brooks, Marody and Fitzgerald have played 2, 1, 1 games.
Brown is injured, one of Laczynski/MacEwen would be there if JVR/Atkinson were health.

Chuck fletcher’s livelihood is based on his daddy’s connections and nothing else. That clown has been nothing but mediocre his entire career, he’s won a first round playoff series all of 2 times in a 13+ year career as gm and has cratered his teams’s cap space for years after he’s gone in now both jobs. His only job qualifications are blatant nepotism. He couldn’t build a fire with gasoline and matches, let alone a hockey team that’s competes for the cup. Deferring to him just means you’re as clueless as he is.
