Tribute The Official "Fire Tortorella" Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
  • We are currently aware of "log in/security error" issues that are affecting some users. We apologize and ask for your patience as we try to get these issues fixed.

Only thing that could prevent it is they have too many bodies that they can’t/won’t move. There’s really only one spot and it’d require moving Sanheim back to the left.

Sanheim
York
Drysdale
Seeler
Risto (if he’s alive)

Bubble:
Zamula
Attard (waivers)
Ginning

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

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.

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

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

I read that line with a huge dose of sarcasm.
