He was the 25th overall pick, so I'm guessing they think he's a late bloomer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitting hairs, but I give him vet minimum tops. Half mill on the cap can add up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds of flipping him at the deadline are nil, so the diamond in the rough theory must apply. I just hope he's strong on the puck and tough to play against.

flyercanuck Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 He's from Minnesota. Fletch has left his mark on the team. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the stooge's right hand man, Nature Boy Brent Flahr is still the assistant GM. There will always be a Minnesota flavour if the stench from the previous regime is still around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read he was pretty decent on the PK...had a couple short handed goals and apparently good at the role. Makes a bit more sense now. Flyers really needed to upgrade the pk guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when I doubt Briere is done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at the 45% face offs won percentage, the average ice time of 11:46, the 64 shots taken in 53 games and the 7 goals. He stinks. If he was signed only to play on the PK, then I'd like to know why the Flyers refuse to use Farabee and Frost as a pair on the PK? Everywhere they've been prior to the NHL, they've been successful and great penalty killers. It only makes sense that they should continue to use them here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This our new PK dude? Puck possession pretty important there....lol. on the bright side, we can bury him in the AHL for a half mill cap hit...while taking away valuable minutes from actual prospects. It may not seem big, but this is our 1st chance to see what kind of stamp he wants to put on this team...pfffft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
