Rögle is my team in Sweden and I like Abols but it's most likely Lehigh Valley for most of the year.
One year @ league min for a guy that always looks good at the WC, can slot in on pretty much any line, and plays a North American-style of game.
Solid signing by the Flyers. Could be the next P-E Bellemare

Always fun to read about a Flyers' move here and then go to the Flyers' board to see how the team's "fans" trash the club and the player.
Once again they don't disappoint.

Sounds very Torontonian, tbh
The Bay and Broad Street Bullies live on, internalized amongst the fandoms lol

I always hoped he would become something with the Panthers but when he started doing well internationally coincided with Zito coming in and starting to build a really strong roster. He could become a decent 4th liner.

You know the Flyers have been near the bottom of the league for four years in a row now, right? Despite spending to the cap ceiling and beyond every season.
26th in P%
29th in scoring
32nd in PP%
What kind of fan would find following a franchise like that to be fun? A lobotomized one, that's who. The kind who thought Deslauriers and Ristolainen were good signings.

Convenient that you rant about the Flyers the year AFTER they finished second in the division and lost a classic seven-game series in the second round.
If you could have predicted the injuries and bad breaks that followed you are better than most.
Not sure what Flyers fans hold against Ristolainen and Deslauriers - one was injured and the other has pretty much done what was expected - but they are clearly trending in the right direction.

Wasting your time. Flyers fans have been through a lot of shit, but things might finally be heading in the right direction, but it doesn't matter to the Flyers board. So many good posters have left it because of the constant negativity.
Apparently it's a bannable offense to mention it though.

You’d be the same way, if your team hadn’t won the Cup in 49 years.

Sympathies. At least the Canucks have a future with the young stars that they have drafted on the last 10 years (Q Hughes, Petterson, Demko).
