mojo1917 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I didn't hate the Nate Thompson experience the first time, I did think he was playing too much and in match-ups where his opportunities for improvement were exposed. The things I liked about him were he was a pro and he played an honest game with high effort. I do wish he had some more offense in that honest game though. As such, if he's a healthy scratch he'll handle it and be ready if the team needs him. I don't see where this signing boxes anyone out, I do think having him around is a neutral to good thing even if it's for practicing face-offs Edited July 28, 2021 by mojo1917 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Obviously, Homer has hacked CF's cell and twitter, and is making deals when he isn't looking thats the only thing that can explain this bipolar behavior either that or they are just trying to bug us 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Flyers sign Nick Seeler, another Chuck Fletcher favorite from Minnesota. One year, just 750K according to preliminary reports. No, he won't set anything ablaze on the blue line, but honestly, what Philly would be getting here is a standard, stay at home defenseman, who can hit, skates reasonably well, is still just 28, blocks shots and, generally speaking, won't turn the puck over very much. That isn't "party hardy" exciting, but it isn't terrible either, and right now, the Flyers COULD use someone with basic hockey sensibilities on that blue line. I always felt the Wild didn't utilize him nearly enough, maybe he gets a better look in Philadelphia. Probably best as a bottom four defenseman, and paired with someone with better offensive instincts leaving him to handle the defensive portion of the pair.

And as far as our most hated it seems Risto is already leading in that category and hasn't even laced em up. So I will go with him every mistake he makes there will be new bitching threads about it see FC. I hope not because I DON'T want to have to join in with the bashing I hope it works out. I feel if they miss the playoffs you could see the whole staff booted GM on down. Just to be clear, I don't hate Ristolainen. I think he's a talented albeit stupid hockey player. I hate Chuck Fletcher for trading a 1st, 2-2nds a 3rd and Ghost for Ristolainen. Booting the whole staff, GM on down will solve nothing. The Homer head needs to be removed or he'll just hire another dinosaur thinking gm. It's sad that we're supposed to be excited because Homer Jr. brought in a bunch of wrong side of 30 guys as our guiding light going forward. Meanwhile the NHL became a fast young mans game years ago. And we have Nate Thompson. Again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it you are not alone. I hope you are wrong. But you could be dead on. I do not want to have to join you. I do not want for us to have finally removed Jake only to have replaced him with Risto. I tried to fair (not that you aren't) but if he sucks i will not try and defend him i will more than likely join you or anyone else wanting his removal. I just don't want to have to. Can't we have nice things to....can't we get tired of everyone gushing over our team too?? I guess i'll let you know when it happens because i don't want to have to suffer again with a whole year with no good hockey to watch. 4 hours ago, flyercanuck said: I hate Chuck Fletcher for trading a 1st, 2-2nds a 3rd and Ghost for Ristolainen.

A lot of us were gripping real hard that this team needed to be gutted and changes needed to be made. Well he has moved nearly every part we wanted moved. IMHO he removed the main cancer and has addressed the lack of physicality and leadership. There was a cost, for sure. But the identity and make up are different. There are gambles on players. It may not work. But if it does, it could be something really good to send the franchise in a new direction Now if you will excuse me, I will put on my orange colored glasses while watching fight videos from the 70s and 80's 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time he acted like that Jake Voracek went out the door. So who knows. I think the BUG business was more complex than we know. I think Bernier wanting starter money was problematic. I truly think he was everyone's first choice except the team that traded for his negotiating rights. When he priced himself out of the Flyers range the dominos really started to fall. I read they looked at Holtby but he wanted to stay out West. The Elliot carrots were cooked and they wanted a veteran to back up Hart. Anyway, we're all pretty sure Jones was pretty far down the flowchart. We'll see I reckon, he is far from old my hope is we don't see him for more than 25 games because Hart is playing to his potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
