RonJeremy Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Patrick is hurt ,upper body injury, they say he may not be ready for season....I really wouldn’t be surprised to see Patrick have a short career in Philly. Coots is our top center, Hayes is # 2 and Frost is almost ready, a year away at the very most. , Rubstov may very well turn out to be better suited as the the third line center instead of Patrick. Patrick is not exactly tenacious, rugged or a defensive stalwart. He also seems a bit soft and injury prone. I really wouldn’t be shocked to see him traded when some of these other kids come in. We have done well in drafting the last 20 years or so, but I think the 2 Irishman , Patrick, and Jay O’Brien could be flops.

I swear to God, as soon as he's healthy for 10 minutes, I move him. He's not impressive when he's healthy, and he's completely worthless the other 95% of the time. If you can get some idiot GM to trade for him, pull the trigger. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely has a high trade value based on his draft position alone. It has obviously taken a decent hit because of injuries and mediocre stats, but he could easily be moved if they wanted to. As much as Frost will (hopefully) develop into a dynamic offensive player, if Patrick is out for the season opener, I’d give Rubstov a shot at 3C if he has an impressive camp.

vis Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 What is the injury? Any detail, other than UBI? How do you come to camp injured an no one knowing about it? Did he get hurt getting off the plane? I just don’t understand how this wasn’t known in advance. Was he hiding whatever it is? I’m so frustrated with this kid.

The article on NBC sports Philly has Fletcher quoted saying they knew about it. But I regardless agree with all of that. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/flyers/tough-say-if-injured-nolan-patrick-will-be-ready-flyers-regular-season-opener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Bee Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Have the Flyers actually been experimenting with moving Patrick to a Wing position(RW)? I have been seeing his name on the 3rd Line depth charts on the Wing and was wondering if that was something that could fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 It's funny, we all thought it was a wonderful gift to have this guy handed to us via the lottery. Now I wonder if we'd have been better off 20th or wherever. He is brittle and taking up precious roster space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wonder if we'd have been better off 20th or wherever. He is brittle and taking up precious roster space. Or the 5th and have taken Pettersson. In retrospect -- and probably only with the benefit of retrospect -- we either reach back or trade back and take either Heiskanen, Glass, or Pettersson. If we don't "win" the lottery, we're back at 12th. I'm not familiar enough with the players in that range. Maybe someone good is still developing and is coming out of that grouping, but right now I think we're still better off. I don't know. I really want to say they brought him to the NHL way too fast. To me, it was a move driven by PR rather than good hockey sense. I think that's true, but if the guy is going to burst his jugular just brushing his teeth, it may ultimately not make a difference. It just might have made him more effective in the 5 games he was in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweet I saw earlier suggested it was a surprise. Still ridiculous that he can’t get through an offseason without injury. Must have caught Neuvirthitis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. This circumstance started even before he was drafted, so it's not like it's the NHL that did it. And really, with how much he's been injured, I don't know how much he would have developed in juniors, either. It's a shame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, "inflamed '...itis' is kind of redundant (though possible on Patrick, now that I think about it). But what if he--in his entirety--is what is being inflamed in @CoachX's post? Would that be LBI, UBI, or TBI? Edited September 15, 2019 by ruxpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Interesting stuff happening in camp. AV praised the JVR/Hayes/Lindblom line and said Oskar looked really good on the right, and will get a longer look during exhibition games. So for tomorrow night, we could be looking at a top 6 of G/Coots/Farabee JVR/Hayes/Lindblom I like it. Bottom 6? Laughton/Frost/Voracek Raffl/Rubstov/Ratcliffe Provorov/Niskanen Ghost/Braun Sanheim/Myers Should be a fun game tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at work so I just come back about 30 minutes and just copied and pasted it without looking at it again. No biggie. I think he should get the chance to play his first game with Giroux and Coots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It sucks that Patrick is hurt yet again but calling for him to be traded would be selling him at the bottom of the market. The same can be said for Morin. The good news is the cupboards are full and we don't have to rely on these guys because there are kids banging on the door. Let them get healthy (Patrick) and get in the lineup for a 20-30 games and then make the call on whether they should be moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for the pre-season I guess. Farabee has a long way to go before he gets a sweet spot like that imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
