Kevin Hayes Rasmus Ristolainen for James Oleksiak 2023 4th I would gladly take Oleksiak and all the money and draft picks and players we've wasted on Hayes and Ristolainen in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 I hope the front office has their eyes on some college kids who can just be offered a contract and signed for free. One i think they could have a chance on is Ben Myers... https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/300838/ben-meyers He is a Captain and center who is from Minnesota and played at Minnesota so that is 4 boxes checked. Need all the guys they can round up - he is NHL ready sign this kid. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/358393/jake-livingstone Another right hand D man available to 6-3 191 played at Minnesota to Mankato. Another former Captain of BC is there to be signed. https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/911/boston-college/2021-2022?tab=stats Flyers need all the guys they can find to help get this thing turned around.

radoran Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 If your "worst pick" was a 2nd round 50th overall you just might have done a good job. Four years later, Addison has 14 NHL games. Durzi has 37. Yeah, the Flyers' woes would SO MUCH BETTER if they had ONLY picked one of them. Talk about reaching for a "reason" to blame Hextall... #flyerstwitter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was bad because Ginning never looked like he was that good and was already near his ceiling. Not because of who he missed on.

Digityman Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Ratcliffe starting to blossom? Coming off those injures in the past, saw some time in the NHL and now he looks hungry. I've liked this kid from the beginning and knew it was going to be one of those you have to wait 4-5 even 6 years for but he looks like he's starting to realize his potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get this kid signed.... https://thelibertyline.com/2022/03/08/bobby-brink-flyers-prospect/ Bobby Brink is having a fantastic junior season for Denver this year, placing himself comfortably into the Hobey Baker Award conversation. Brink finished the 2021-2022 regular season 1st in the NCAA with 14G-39A-53P in 34 games. 7 points ahead of the runner-up, Nathan Smith, who had 17G-29A-46 points. See I am trying to pry Savoie from the Oilers too... Go trade for Savoie too why you're at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all college prospects who should be signed to join the CHL guys like Desnoyers Wisdom McClennnon? That is a possible addition of two right hand D men both 6-3 with good mobility as well as 8 possible forwards. Man Lappy is getting some good kids to coach up he needs to get them back to the playoffs next season or it is time to find another AHL coach too.

flyer4ever Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I fear the only way any of these young men become bona fide NHL regulars is to trade them to other organizations. There is little evidence to prove otherwise. Dysfunction reigns supreme in Flyer junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact after the deadline i would like to see some kids up instead grinding to the end in the AHL. Let them plug as many holes as Chuck can create trading dead weight. The college kids will be signing soon they may choose to let some play to burn a year in good faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs and Tampa Bay prospect Magnus Chrona ended Bobby Brink's college career tonight 2-0. Ronnie Attard and the Western Michigan ended North Dakota's Flyer prospect Gavin Hain's career 4-2. Attard headed to the finals to faceoff with the Bulldogs. At least some good hockey is being played within the organization somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct answer is nothing will help the Flyers next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
