Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 3 - Flyers Rumors and Media Mentions: Never Ending Circles

[Cody Webster]

Bob, Saros, etc. aren't big.
The problem with Kolosov is he simply isn't polished enough to use that athleticism to good effect.
Probably needs a couple more years in the AHL/KHL.

Those guys play bigger than they are. Kolosov sits too far back and doesn't attack

Well he obviously screwed up, b/c Barkey, Brink, Andrae, Gendron, Pautov pushed that average down.

Those darn scouts!

Bob struggled with playing small early in his career, too. Some guys figure it out and some don't.

I'm still more bullish on Kolosov than Fedotov, but both need a lot of work to even become suitable backups long term.

Not for nothing, but that was Bob's primary criticism as well while he was on the Flyers. That he played too far back and was "small" in the net.

Bobrovsky has the aggression to overcome that approach.

I don’t mind smaller goalies but find they need to have not only the reflexes, but the gall to challenge a shooter more than say a guy like Price would have.

It’s what most annoyed me about Hart. Smaller guy, who actually had decent mobility/speed but played like he was a foot taller.

Watch out for Dostal in Anaheim, who is a downright pleasure to watch some nights.

I would low key have interest in Saros, but think that ship has sailed. Vejmelka is underrated as f*** imo.

Well we do have Lombardi's perhaps Hextall's buddy as a goaltending coach so just a question of time until we have quick on our hands.

I didn't even notice you posted this a while minute before I did! Great minds, etc.
