According to Flahr, Sami has been working with Tuomaala.

(Flyers development coach) Sami Kapanen spends a lot of time with him, and is trying to get through to him the way he has to play. In junior … he’s a strong kid, he can fly and he can really shoot the puck. Unfortunately, when you get to the pro level, there’s things you have to do as far as managing the puck, and expectations away from the puck where he needs to get to. Especially in Finnish hockey, the details are very good, which helps for development.

But he wasn’t getting it, and obviously it impacted his ice time. So Sami had him get (sent) down (to Mestis) and he’s producing now, he’s showing a little more confidence and getting his game going in the right direction. But he’s got a ways to go to earn that trust every night and be up. At the same time, we just want him to play, and play lots of minutes here down the stretch and hopefully get his game back to where it needs to be and reset for next year.


Oh no. The Flyers are trying to get through to him about how to play? His career is ruined already. Hopefully he ignores them.

Curious question:

Three assumptions, Cam Atkinson is somehow back for 23-24 season and idiot F^&*%$ does not trade Konecny but does idiotically resign MacEwen who are out at RW of the seven below for next season?

1. ATkinson
2. Konecny
3. Tippett
4. Allison
5. MacEwen
6. Foerster
7. Brink

And if I left anyone out sorry!

And can anyone of the above legitimately move to LW?

Tippett has played LW and would be the most likely to move.
Atkinson should be 100% with almost a year to heal after shoulder surgery, and a year off may revive his legs.

MacEwen is the odd man out, Allison/Foerster would be most likely to be moved to the 4th line, both are as big as MacEwen and can be just as physical but far more skilled, TK, Atkinson and Brink are going to be on offense first lines. Brink would be the one you'd match up with Cates, Laughton or Gauthier at center, since he could be the primary playmaker for those three.

Farabee - Couts - TK
Tippett - Frost - Atkinson
Laughton - Cates - Brink
Lycksell - Laczynski - Allison/Foerster

If Gauthier comes out, you could move Cates/Laughton to 4C. They might try Allison or Foerster at LW to get them both in the lineup.
 
Lol.

Lucius is having a great year on a shitty Wisconsin team too (Carolina 4th rounder ofc). He was in that Kaplan boat for me last year. Depth guy that kind of got buried by those top two US lines last year.
The Hutson production is wild. Would’ve never guessed he’d be the best producer of that team in his freshman year.

MacEwen is the living embodiment of what the people running the team think fits a fourth line "energy" role. He is not an odd man out until everyone is fired.

He is perfect as a 13th forward come in and give the team a boost. Damn dlo is one that's hard to get rid of.
Despite what flahr said Foerster should be in the NHL next season even if it's in a fourth line role.

I'd not give a shit about him if he was used as a benchrider to only play until a callup arrives but the team doesn't work that way.

ZMac has played 121 games over the past two seasons - 4th most on the team. That's not a 13th forward.
Yes it is once you look at the string of injuries the past two years.

Atkinson and Allison have probably missed that many games between them. Brink lost half of a season that could have had him in Philly by January. Laczynski hasn't been healthy for two seasons. Tippett didn't arrive until the end of last season (G was LW here).

No one ever won a job from the trainer's table.

I have learned to just ignore him most of the time . Have had things typed out several times , then thought what's the point and then just hit delete . It's easier that way .

Allison is starting to get back after the long layoff from injury but there's only so low in the lineup I'd play brink. Waste of talent otherwise
Ideally mac would see slightly more games than sandstrom

Atkinson missing the season skews things. Foerster has gotten better away from the puck enough that I would feel comfortable pushing macewen down for him at this point.

Guys like MacEwan, Deslauriers, Brown, TdA, and a few others are an embarrassment to the Flyers. Only incompetence on the part of previous regimes has allowed that type of slime to roll up on the shores of the franchise. Instead of recognizing the opportunity that was given them, they’ve played down to a lower level of failure and dragged down the organization with them. They are despicable players.

There are some folks who want to write off Gauthier as a bum. Maybe he can play this game? He’s putting together a very nice freshman year against top level college competition. Is he a center? A wing? IDK but he puts pucks in the net.
