Flyers have to make a decision too on another one after the college playoffs are done too. No not Devin Kaplan for BU he has a few more years i'm talking about 2019 7th round pick Bryce Brodzinski with Minnesota Gophers who put up 18 goals for 29 points in 37 games this year. Also for center depth they may sign Gavin Hain 2018 6th round pick from Ron's last draft in Philly. I think a few guys will make the jump next season to the NHL so might as well restock the stable for the Phantoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I would also sign Jay O' Brien, he has a high skill level but was set back with injuries. Just look at Frost his development was slowed from covid lockdown and injuries and now he's looking real good. Nobody on the team has puck skills like Frost. It's a good thing we didn't give up on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they need center depth too. They have space to add 4 contracts not sure if they add them this year though. But they need the center depth. Only centers they will have next season is Jon-Randall Avon, Jackson Cates (if resigned) and Zayde Wisdom. So they need some talent down the middle.

OccamsRazor Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 @RonJeremy Also it might do them some good to try and sign Austen Swankler who is a free agent for some depth all it would cost is a contract. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/298560/austen-swankler And a right hand shot for the defense with some huge upside and needed righties is Jake Livingstone. Great size and a solid two way game to develop maybe. They only have 2 right hand shots down in the AHL so they need the depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course Fletcher thought getting Ristolainen was more important....Clarke is already a better defenceman than Risto. Danny B needs to be aggressive and make a very good offer to start the rebuild off right!!! Going to look good in the orange and black!!!!!!!!

I dunno I think he’s still a giant question mark. He’s definitely coming along but he still makes one bad play for every good one. I get the feeling he thinks he’s still in Juniors and can dazzle right by everybody. Either that or he’s got too much Jake Voracek in him (who I always liked). Frost is a better player than he was a year ago, on both sides of the ice. Maybe it’s just a matter of time before he learns to respect the speed and talent in the NHL.

Remain patient he is just 23 and Danny Briere didn't break out till he was 24 so by next season we should know better where he is headed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just a matter of time before he learns to respect the speed and talent in the NHL. He’s definitely made way more progress in one year under Torts than the previous three years. His offensive skills are fantastic and his defensive play has gotten better but still can improve. I haven’t seen any other Flyers make some of the plays he has .Sometimes you have to live with some defensive lapses with good offensive players.

GratefulFlyers Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Sure there’s no harm in waiting at least another year, not only for Frost but all the younger guys. I’ve been impressed with all of them one way or another. Hopefully getting rid of Hayes, DeAngelo and Ristolainen doesn’t cost the Flyers any of the young talent but maybe that’s too much to expect.

Allegedly,Columbus wants Hayes. Eating half the contract is better than paying the whole thing and we free up a roster spot and cap space. TDA only has one year left, so if we eat 2 million of the 5 million we can probably dump him..The problem with Risto is his contract and term, although his play has improved . I think if we trade TDA and Provy, then Risto stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think you can find a team who would take TDA at 50% off to add to their blueline. Can might even take him back they have 3 D men needing new deals. I just want them gone and would look at it as free up 6 in cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
