Confirmed with Link: PTO Antoine Roussel

[Hollywood Cannon]

When the board group-whines, I'm going to comment on it.

Yes, but you’re the one that complains about the whining thus creating more whining.

 

[ybnvs]

Used to be an effective player. He's coming off a 4 yrs/ $3M per deal.

But OH NOES! A PHYSICAL PLAYER ON A TRYOUT!

It's not about giving a shitty player a PTO. It's about this:

It’s wild that you can get a player of this caliber on a PTO instead of signing them one on the first day of free agency to a four year deal.

Read it and weep. Fletcher is garbage.

Read it and weep. Fletcher is garbage.

It’s also about this:

I can’t wait to be contrariansplained about how this move doesn’t matter and it’s not a big deal.

Nothing like having to explain that we understand that this one single move isn’t breaking the franchise but the collection of them all will only for it to be completely ignored.

Stone cold lock to make the team lol. If Chuck cuts him I won't post for a week after that

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I would like to make it clear that I'm not whining or complaining in any way. I'm wallowing via shitposting. I take my joy where it comes.

More slop, please. Put Chris Stewart back on the ice. I'll take whatever you've got.

Yep. Anyone still taking this team seriously is seriously f***ed in the head. Embrace the hilarity.

Roussel will add to the intensity of the camp. You know he's going to be battling his ass off trying to earn a spot. Everyone's going to have to be on high compete to win their roster spots.

Roussel was a good player until the last two years, had a few years when he was a decent 3rd line guy, mostly a solid 4th line guy.
Fell off the last two seasons, probably due to age but also dings.

He was also a PK guy for the Cotes.

Coyotes Report Cards: Antoine Roussel

Antoine Roussel came over from the Vancouver Canucks and had an okay season in the desert.

Not a big deal, he's not going to beat out Deslauriers at LW, he's probably not fast enough anymore to play center,
Probably just a chance to watch him and see if he'd have any value for the Phantoms. And to take notes if they get hit by a string of injuries and need a body off the street.

Couts has so many god awful sound bites. Even knowing he’s a a “good soldier,” he seems to go a little bit extra with these takes at times.

"I like the way our team's built," Flyers forward Sean Couturier told NBC Sports Philadelphia last week. "If you look at our division, it's a pretty tough division. We brought in some toughness. I don't think there's going to be any more teams bullying us around like we've been in the past couple of years at times.”

Like on the scoreboard, right Sean?

 

[Flyerfan18]

Nic, Zack and now Ant - how many goons does one team need?

Competition is a good thing. Rousell is the player everyone hates. Unless he is on your team. See if he has anything left in the tank

[JojoTheWhale]

We've seen the darkest depths of the internet. A simple hockey team cannot stop the shitposting. Sign Brashear out of retirement if you want. I'll just go into the folders that make no sense. Joy shall be had.

If an Antoine Roussel PTO is the difference between guys having high compete level in camp/earning roster spots versus not, we are doomed before we've even begun.

I'll be honest, I'd be cool with it if we didn't have Del and ZMac

 

[TheKingPin]

This is one of the most telling moves of this org. It is so damning; I am a little shocked the posters were already on here.

Did they tweet it? Were the comments disabled?

Has any intentionally tanking team ever done a better job at creating a horrible roster than Fletcher has while desperately trying to compete?

At least the pens brought in old school talent like LeClaire and Recchi. If not for spending on Risto and TD, I would have to say they are tanking on the down low. This is literally their attempt to rebuild.

 

[SuchySays]

Yes, but you’re the one that complains about the whining thus creating more whining.

The biggest whiner whining about someone whining about whining.

Maybe it's Couturier who's behind it all. Giving Fletcher ideas of what this team lacks and needs. We all know Fletcher doesn't have a real plan.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Potentially the last contract slot. None of the rookie camp guys will be signed.

Please tell me more about how Fletcher doesn't do his best to avoid youth.

This must be a hard time for the people who insist the team doesn't have a fascination with this sort of refuse.

I mean, the team is going to be complete and utter shit this year. So, in that context, it really doesn't matter. Hopefully it's part of a collection of moves that eventually results in the removal of all the top Flyers execs, but I doubt it.

 

[bennysflyers16]

This guy is cooked and absolute shit hockey player........

And he may be better than Zac and Deslaurier...

We are so f***ed.

The team is utter shit in large part BECAUSE of these types of moves and focus on archaic roles when building a roster.

No he won't

I like the meme, but I get mad when people actually spell it is as rolls

 

[BringBackHakstol]

LOL, nice.
