I also think ND retires after this year. Then gets a job with the Flyers to recoup the money he gave up.

Maybe since he great in the locker room they can give him some Pom poms and he can holler encouragement between periods

The value of fighting isn't intimidation, it's to take the other team's asshole off the ice for 15 minutes a time (5 for fighting, 10 minute game misconduct).

While I usually joke about how you say the same things every year (because ya do) , it's good to see you still churn out some new material. Kudos

First see if Cates can handle center.

He was elite defensively two years ago but struggled to create offense.
We already have Poehling.

Now they played Cates at center the first exhibition game, so they may be thinking about it.
He looked good with Foerster and Brink. But against minor league opposition.

If they're rebuilding then it doesn't matter.

I thought preseason games didn't matter.

He was highly inconsistent last year, needs to show more to win a top 9 job.
Farabee - Couts - TK
Tippett - Foerster - Michkov
Cates - Laughton - Foerster
??? - Poehling - Hathaway

To win top 9 has to push Cates/Foerster to 4th line.
Foerster and Cates were better last season.

You think Tortorella is going to put Farabee on a line with Couturier and Konecny? Did you watch any of the games last year? He's either going with Frost and Michkov or he's going on a line with Brink.

And no, Foerster is not playing on the right side. He was moved permanently to left wing last year. He's staying there. He's not going to get 12 to 14 minutes a night. He's getting 17 to 19.

My guess is many will not even engage with ND at this point.

why do you want the other teams asshole off the ice if he isnt that good? Wouldn't you want him on the ice to take advantage of said asshole?

skill players will skate past him with the puck and laugh..

Another buyout of a Fletcher contract.

Farabee played 200+ ES minutes with SC and TK last season.
