Don’t disrespect the bumper.
It’s mostly been IQ + short area + boards plays this preseason. The dangles and shot really haven’t been weaponized yet. But he’s pretty unique for someone of his caliber in he’s less of a rush solo weapon. The rest just consistently adds up. Which is why I enjoy Frost with him.
I’ll be curious to see his Edge data.

Richard looks versatile as f*** in a lineup. Way better skills than a JAG.
Who claims him? Carolina?

I definitely have liked Michkov with Frost more than this limited sample with Couts. Frost and Michkov think the game similarly, so they actually go to spots on the ice to benefit each other.

Richard really is having a positive game.

Is Laughton playing? Or is he in the Gritty costume?

He is one of those guys who should have probably been an NHLer since he was 22... or at least given a real chance... and would be if he was 6'2.
But because he is 5'11 and has some skill is seen as a tweener.

I admittedly haven't watched a second of preseason beyond the occasional clip that pops up on my social media timelines. I like seeing Coots stick up for Mich but I also don't like seeing him mix it up with a player like that. Billy Sweezey is a grade-A dirty dog AHL assclown.

Who the hell is Billy Sweezey and can he make passes like that consistently?
*Edit* The old AHL/ECAC scoring rate 8 ball says all signs point to no.

Man, can you imagine if Cates was making $4MM for 6 years like some people wanted?

Can someone explain to me what would it mean if 17 makes the club?
I hope so
I know he was just drafted.

It's pretty unlikely, though he's clearly impressing the guys who will make that decision.
To make the team, he'll keep a guy like Brink, Cates, or Poehling out of the lineup.
Just an example:
Foerster-Couts-TK
Tippett-Frost-Michkov
Farabee-Luchanko-Brink
Laughton-Poehling-Hathaway
Scratches: Cates, Deslauriers

I have enjoyed the chemistry Farabee, Brink and Luchanko have, though.

Risto being the one to pull the trigger on that extended possession may have killed poor @CanadianFlyer88
It’s like slipping into a comfortable old Hakstol.

Brink looks faster than ever before. Not even a shadow of a doubt. He was always pretty good accelerating off his edges in the cycle. But his stride has some burst now.

I don't know if you've been watching, but Tippett destroys all offensive possession Frost and Michkov create.
Dumb, low percentage shots will be the reason for my aneurysm in 24/25.

I'm not sure Luchanko is ready to be an NHLer right now. I'm not opposed to the 9 game try out, though.

If I never have to see the Flyers PP do that moronic slow motion designed wrist shot from the top of the circles, I’ll be slightly less unhappy.
Like I said, it’s good Michkov doesn’t understand the coaches because he actually uses dangerous areas and down low and the bumper (which the Flyers have neglected for years). It’s not getting stuck.
