Lmao.

 

[trostol]

yes like pimp the 4th line and be proud of it when the other lines are shit

 

[volnoir]

He was on fire today.

1.) Playing prospects is not a viable rebuild strategy because you want to play vets to boost their value (despite the team showing no interest in trading them?).

This logic only makes sense if you trade the vets when they are at peak value. Clearly that is not a priority when your top two valuable vets this offseason are TK and Laughton and both are still on the team. Sure showcase some vets, but you have to move them one they are at top value, or what's the point?

Poehling & Hathaway legitimately are positive fourth line caliber of players. But even then it’s like saying you have a nice driveway when your house is burnt to the ground.

All 3 players shouldn’t even be here

 

[Curufinwe]

Eh, I don’t mind them. It’s Nic D who shouldn’t be here,

It can be simultaneously true that Poehling and Hathaway are good fourth liners but that they also shouldn't be here.

Hathaway is the definition of a pointless signing. He’s at a crossroads between traditional grrrrrit types and analytics. Hathaway is a good player. Hathaway is a pointless player on a rebuilding team. But they prioritize the 4th line (which puts a hole in the “what does it matter?!” argument).

Poehling is 2 years younger than Laczynski/Allison. Same age as Lycksell. I was a big fan of him in his draft year. He’s in positive JAG territory, but he also has swing traits and some upwards trajectory. That one is justifiable. Smart even for a 1 year with RFA control. But stapling Deslauriers with him is the same waste as it is for anyone else. But I did chuckle when Briere called him a veteran last night. They’re lost.

Exactly this. The obstinate trajectory of actually building a Nic Deslauriers line, while push-fitting a still-young player into a "role", is more of the same tunnel vision that has led this team to the bottom of the standings. It is understandable from a marketing level for the puck-optional crowd, but they can't help but rush to decisions, even during an allegedly wide-open preseason.

I think all 3 of them can provide value to a playoff team. I just can’t have them clogging up spots if we didn’t move Laughts and TK AND if Cam and Coots are full go’s

Keith Jones said tonight on TV that people will be surprised by the Flyers. That they've seen where people slot them, and they're using it as motivation. No team is hornier to finish 12th worst.

Did we get a translation for what he actually meant yet?

Bucci wants flyers smoke





So they’re gonna be good, want to pick top 3, but 76 points sounds right, which is one more than they had last year when they picked 7th

 

[tnfrs]

surprise we signed patrick kane

 

[trostol]

this is a team and portion of fandom that is ok with Michkov being the only high end skill player we get

Does anyone have a read on Zamula’s standing on the roster? I know ASF says that they don’t expect him to be around - but I kinda wanna call BS on that. I know ASF has some scoops however Zamula’s been good.

No inside info, but it would be insane if they waived him. He's easily one of the 7 best dmen on the roster, and all the other D prospects (Andrae, Attard, Ginning, Grans) are waiver exempt.

Zamula getting waived would be peak Flyers comedy. The only thing funnier would be if the Hurricanes picked him up as their 9th NHL quality defender on roster.

 

[FLYguy3911]

They pretty much implied he would be on the roster on the broadcast last night. Sad it needs to be confirmed but such is Flyers hockey.

Did you find the ASF stuff weird?

 

[Curufinwe]

I find him weird in general

My favorite part is the original tweeter says “a lot of people in my replies not realizing this is a joke.”

Joel Farabee had as many fights last year as Hathaway and one less than Seeler.

Deslauriers’ fights are more staged than wrestling.
