“How about Gerry Mayhew”
Fletcher was not satisfied f***ing up the Flyers, he had to extend his Midas touch to the Phantoms by gutting them this week so now we have Pat Nagle in goal. Mayhew with the hat rick is all you need to know about Nagle. To make matters worse thoe players recalled will not even play save for one game by Errson

I mean the guy had 48 goals in his last 68 AHL games before joining the Flyers org so it's not like he's some bum at the minor league level or anything.
With 3 goals tonight the legend has 14 goals and 12 assists is 46 games this year , he a nothing burger that Flair ate .

Nah, he's still a good AHL player. He'll never reach the pace he did his last couple years in Iowa, but he still scored at a 28-29 goal pace with the Phantoms last year before being anointed the Flyers' savior. Not every AHL vet is a worthless bum just because they can't hack it in the big leagues
St. Louis with 3 first round picks in one of the strongest drafts in a while plus a couple a high level young players plus a couple of additional pieces they can still trade. Now that is how you jump start a rebuild. Meanwhile, all we get is a letter from the coach that basically says "we suck again"

We are told the letter is a big win and a sign that things have changed. Meanwhile, everything is the same.
Fletcher idolizes the Blues for never selling off and rebuilding. Now they are. I wonder if his lazy copycat brain has computed that yet?
AHL vet plug Wilson takes a stupid penalty (because that is all he is good for) which may cost the Phantoms the game. It seems like when the Phantoms sign an AHL vet that they specifically look for the "plug" trait.....

Brink shootout goal wins it. Watched it on WFMZ-69. Really nice shot.
Might have been one of the dumbest penalties I've seen - and then the WBS player matches it a couple of minutes later.
Phantoms suck plain and simple. They have no redeeming qualities. Basically, how their coach was when he tried to play the game. No skill. Similar to the Flyers they chase the other team around and when they get it just fly ball it out of the zone. I don't know how it is possible, but they have managed to assemble a team, where to a man, just cannot skate.

Phantoms are undermanned right now, especially in goal, and probably are at less than peak, given some illness (the flu?) is running through the clubhouse.
Desnoyers has really improved since the start of the season, just had a four point night Sunday after looking very good Saturday night, his skating has become more fluid and he's playing with confidence, so is Foerster.
Brink doesn't look like he's 100% skating, but he can still put up points.
Zamula is playing better, and Ginning is for real, he can actually pass the puck, something Hagg struggled doing.
Attard has picked up the pace and is starting to rack up points.
The prospects and Anisimov are their best players.
They're playing some ECHL guys and goalie is a problem until Ersson returns.

He’s just planting the narrative for when Chuckie calls him up ahead of Attard or Zamula after there is an injury or trade so he can claim it’s by “merit” and definitely nothing to do with the Flyers size and role fetish.

Only 1 poster semi-regularly brings up Ginning. The rest of us know that he isn’t any good. Years of evidence (watching him play, seeing his horrendous shot based metrics in the SHL, etc.) suggest he’s going to be a net-negative NHLer.

Ginning finished strong in the SHL, with a solid playoff series.
He played 250 games from age 17-21 in a professional league where HCs need to win to save their jobs (they're not paid to develop players for the NHL).
Big defensemen tend to mature later, and he just turned 23 in January.
It's not like he's going to be a star, but from what I've seen of him Ginning looks like a solid 3rd pair, defense first big D-man at the NHL level. Plays a simple game, uses his body, makes good first passes to exit the zone. Isn't going to give you a lot on offense.
Meanwhile, St Ivany, who is six months older, looked like a big AHL defenseman who isn't even AHL plus at this point.

I hate this team
Sounds like you built a solid argument to trade Seeler, since we have his replacement in house and ready.
According to Jones you would need a "haul" to trade Seeler; he is that valuable. I can't believe the crap that comes out of his mouth. He is so stuck in the 70's and he did not even play n the 70's. I di dnot think it was possible to miss Bill Clement.....

I'm all for moving Seeler for a 5th or better, 6th or 7th might as well keep him for depth and see if you can get more for him over the summer or next TDL. Picks outside the 5th rd have close to zero value.

Big dmen who succeed while "maturing later" show a hell of a lot more than Ginning ever has at any point in his life.
