hf101 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I like this signing. 600K He played well last spring. Replaces Fedotekno imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 @hf101I like him also, he's good a faceoffs but have to wonder that Laughton will not be here? I hope Homer knows what he's doing instead of handing contracts out left and right. He always put himself in a corner with the 50 contract thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatic Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 The Flyers have certainly improved their face-off ability, Vinny, Hall and G. not bad group when it comes to face-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent05 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 @hf101I have no idea where we at there, just saying. We still need to add a goalie and if Laughton makes the team that is 2 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 48, with eligibility to slide Stolarz and Laughton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 48, with eligibility to slide Stolarz and Laughton.They should slide both. I do not want Laughton up this season at all. Let him season and get a ton of ice time in juniors. Let him develop. It beats riding the NHL bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hard not to like what Hall brought. Good solid work ethic, dependable in the neutral and defensive zones, won't put up big numbers, but that's not what he is paid to do. This tells me Laughton will be spending one more year in the O, which is not a bad thing. He should dominate and get lots of time on the top pp in the OHL, which is always good for a players confidence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I like this signing. 600KHe played well last spring. Replaces Fedotekno imo.yup..pretty much agree with all the above. Like the signing and as a bonus, his cap hit is low. Good Job Homer (can I really type that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I like this. Makes me wonder if that means more is coming. I thought we were relatively set up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnumpi Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 more than anything that makes Talbot expendable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Trade Talbot?I hope not. I know Talbit had a down year last seasoon, but I think he brings that something intangible into the locker room. A good guy to have in locker room. I will be dissappointed if he gets moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Trade Talbot?Maybe. I like him. He is a great PKer and works hard every game. Chips in with a few goals now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Talbot had a down year, but I love the guys who muck it up, don't mind getting down and dirty. I think Talbot's numbers might decrease, esp if he is pushed to the 4th line....but I still see double digit goals by him...and that is fine production for a checker. It's actually the best you can expect from a checker who plays limited minutes....double digit goals that is. I can't confirm it, but I suspect he's a true veteran leader in the locker room, a guy who will call out a star like Vinny if he starts to slack....and therein lies the true value of a guy like Talbot, he goes way beyond stats. I know what to expect from him, and I like that. No wonder he has a Stanley Cup winning goal on his resume, guys a winner pure and simple. One of my favourtie Flyers, would be crushed if he was traded for cap purposes. If he is, then the true price of getting pansy Vinny will start to be felt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 @jammer2Then why didn't Talbot call out Briere, Hartnell, or Bryz? Not sure he's actually vet leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 @doom88 That's why I threw in the can't confirm it, cause I don't pretend to know what's going on in there behind closed doors. Maybe he did call out Briere, but it never made the press, which is the way it should be. You might be right, he might not be the veteran presence everyone claims he is....sometimes players get reps they don't deserve....if I had to guess I'd say he's a great leader, but again, I have no way of really knowing.

OccamsRazor Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I have no idea where we at there, just sayinghttp://capgeek.com/flyers/reserve-list/48...Emery would be 49...and Gagne would be...if........50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughfighter83 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 doesnt salary need to be move, they cant go into the season being over the cap? im guessing they are going to sign more fa's before they move salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 @OccamsRazor I would have to say, one or two Flyer careers will end tomorrow, I'm certain of it. Only question is, who will go so homey can spend and add. The 50 contract situation looms large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canoli Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 but I suspect he's a true veteran leader in the locker room, a guy who will call out a star like Vinny if he starts to slack....and therein lies the true value of a guy like Talbot, he goes way beyond stats.great point, that's what "the book" on Talbot has always been - great team guy, great locker room presence.Unfortunately he'll have plenty of chances to show that leadership with Vinny around.. lol. I love the guy but man he disappears sometimes to the point where you wonder...can this possibly be the same 50-goal guy from a few years back?

jammer2 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 @canoli 50 goals will not be reachable as far as I can see. That was what....6 or 7 years ago? Those days seem long gone....he only had the two elite years anyways. He will be productive for a few years than we can start to sweat it out....lol.

canoli Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 nah of course not, he's never getting near 50 again. I didn't think I suggested he would. But anyway I'll be extremely happy if he hits 30, I'd call that a real win for the Flyers. If he stays healthy he'll be getting lots of PP time...30 shouldn't be out of reach. I hope.
