Having too many bodies/contracts/cap hits has never been a problem for the Flyers.

Of the defensemen on this team to be down on, Seeler isn't really high on the list.

I mean if youre okay with paying a 6th defender $2.1M. They could probably get similar value for half that price. Ronnie Attard in his small sample performed pretty well. Give him a full season and I bet he performs better

Just received an email from my ticket rep, for the opportunity to go down there Mon and paint something personal on the ice..before they melt it. Kinda stupid, but do I go and paint Fire Torts? I am sure I am not the only one with that idea

In a must win game he played the fewest minutes on the defense, less than Johnson.

How can Zamula be on the bubble, in reality. He's everything they need: big, mobile, good outlet, can play the PP2, develping. Russian to talk to the goalies and Michkov...
And I'd rather have Ginning and Attard as 5/6 next year than Seeler/Risto.
Too late.
They already pay a 6th defender $5MM so $2.1MM is bargain. Other than ELCs, up and down the Flyers line-up everyone makes at a minimum $1-2MM more than they should. It is OK 2 or 3, but it addds up when you go down the line-up....

Seeler and Attard are different kinds of players. I like Attard. Seeler brings more fire and toughness in shot blocking and net front. Attard is better at puck movement and shooting.. nice to have both.

Zamula was in the scratch limbo down the stretch and got taken off the PP once Drysdale came back. In the hypothetical where they re-sign Walker, he doesn't have a spot. He'd be a regular for me easily.
Doesn't really matter who we want on the bottom pair. Those guys have contracts that prevent them from being traded. I assume as long as they don't take a torch to the roster, they will keep Attard around as an extra to avoid waivers. Ginning is exempt for another year and there were rumors he was going back to Sweden but that was before he got promoted and played.

Oh man what an argument
"They already overpay a mediocre dman so overpaying this replacement level dman isn't that bad. Everyone on the roster is overpaid"
And yea like you said it adds up. Would be nice if Flyers could actually get value on the players they sign, but they are more concerned with culture

You can't tell me John Tortorella doesn't have his finger on the pulse of this team.
Torts heaping praise on Rocky, saying he'll be back next season.

Someone really needs to ask what the hell there is to praise. Having the worst PP% over a 3 year span in NHL history deserves praise?
Yep, gonna be the 4th season in a row with the last place PP. This club is f***ing baffling on how bad results are constantly encouraged and reinforced.
