None of the rookie camp guys will be signed b/c I didn't see anything that said "sign this guy."
Roussel is unlikely to be signed.

It's a PTO. A camp body. The season is a month away.
You get dings and minor injuries in camp, especially toward the end when they send most of the AHL guys down to prepare for the AHL season. Farabee won't hit the ice until October. How much are you going to play JVR?
And in exhibition games, you often come across a Yahoo who wants to impress his coach by starting something, so having a guy like Roussel around is insurance.

Ian Anderson, and his dept doing a masterful job yet again at being able to influence positive moves.

Roussel usually is the one who starts something.

So a 2 year, 1.2 per year contact?

If he somehow doesn't make it, he gets an AHL deal and next year is a development coach

Chucks camp invites make the team, merit is not a factor at all.

Stewart was unlikely to be signed. Then he was. Then he was unlikely to play. Then he did, and far too much to boot.
Fletcher is looking for ways to avoid playing youth. Don't be surprised if he thinks Deslauriers should be 3LW and hopes Roussel could be 4LW.
Play some kid instead of signing this utter slop. If it means keeping him from AHL Camp because he could fill in for Farabee when the NHL season starts. Sending a kid down and signing this trash is not going to help the Flyers now or later. We've already seen with Stewart that this guy has a good chance of being kept around ....

Roussel adds another guy with a very hard competitive game. The Flyers will want to see how the guys battling for roster spots respond to him. He's going to make them uncomfortable. And that's only going to help the evaluation process.
Ten or so years ago I would have been psyched on this. It's just a PTO so hopefully it goes nowhere, but at the same time I hope they sign him and commit to tanking.

That's the popular opinion this board. Physicality in 4th liners is frowned upon. They'd rather have a 4th line of Vorobyovs.

Well, I'd rather have Roussel from 3 years ago than Deslauriers, when Roussel could actually score.
There's nothing that says you can't have 4th line players who are physical on the forecheck and can actually take advantage of the turnovers they create and pop a few in the back of the net.

What if I told you you could have Roussell from now years ago AND Deslauriers?
The Flyers would never know that there's no rule against that.

Roussel's been better offensively than defensively at ES for quite a while now. Just something to file away when roles are brought up.

Nothing about his game is hard or competitive. He sucks.

The PK is going to get a lot of work. Hopefully the PK doesn’t suck. Oh wait.
But at least they will be hard to play against

This will be exactly the kind of team that we hated to play for years.
Low talent try hards, trying to make it a Neanderthal battle, taking cheap shots or trying to start nonsense when they are obviously demolished in overall talent.
Something to celebrate. Harder to play against

Remind me, how many of those teams were relevant?
