Popular Post ruxpin Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 By the way, my daughter will be upset about Twarynski. She was the president of her college's THON group (4 Diamonds charity for pediatric cancer research and treatment). She didn't just do it for the resume. She's been involved since 7th grade and actually goes to the pediatric cancer unit at Hershey Medical and elsewhere to visit the children and take gifts, etc. Anyway, one of her roles was charitable outreach and she at some point made contact with Twarynski through the Flyers and he donated signed pucks, jerseys, and a helmet as well as four tickets to a game. He also agreed to come to their THON event. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled due to COVID, but the signed things were used for raffle for fundraising and the four tickets were given to one patient and her family to attend a game. The sad news there is that game was cancelled due to COVID and that child has since passed. But it's my understanding that he was going to re-donate tickets. My daughter has graduated, so I'm not sure that will ever happen, but she'll be sad to hear about Twarynski if this pick ends up being true. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like the no-brainer pick here. I was just telling my wife last night (who knows hockey is played on ice and that's about it) and my daughter (who is a fan girl) about the Tarasenko/Vorayuk thing and actually said, "which is dumb...they should take Dunn." And here we are. 55 minutes ago, Podein25 said: Lol, exactly. I haven't been paying much attention so I didn't even know Dunn was unprotected. Clear no brainer. It looks like Seattle is trying to build from the D out. Look to them to sign and/or trade one or more Dmen. I didn’t see Dunn play that much but thought he was on his way out of St. Louis early in the season due to inconsistent play. He was a healthy scratch for several games and I seem to remember him being on waivers at one point. I didn’t see him as a “no brainer” pick. He was invisible in the playoffs.

mojo1917 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I reckon we'll see some guys heading out the door that maybe we're not going to like in the next couple of weeks. I don't think Chuck is finished. This is but a minor annoyance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farabee and Provorov are the only two roster guys that should be untouchable . As far as prospects go… York, Foerester, Wysdom , Desoyners and Allison all are dynamic players in their own ways and should be kept. We have a combination of finesse guys like Desoyners and York and three big wingers , Wysdon,Foerester and Allison who have scoring goal scoring ability . These are exactly the type of players this team needs. I am convinced Allison will be one of our top scorers this season and will be deadly on the PP.

He has a unique skillset, shirley Chuck can find a team that needs/values that, no? The same Ghost every team in the league passed on 4 months ago for free? Sure, the line to trade for him will be a mile long. This team is going to suck. If they don't outright suck, they are going to make the playoffs and lose in the first or second round. We've seen this story before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but that describes virtually all young Dmen at that age. He has upside. Especially in the new NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you're a Blues fan, you lost Dunn, that hurts. Don't forget the comfort of knowing that in 6 or 7 years Carsen will return to the Flyers at $6 or 7 million a year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks "promising". He had a good year. Probably highlighted by the fct that so many others had an awful year. But recently the Flyers have had a lot of guys have "good" years, shortly followed by crap years (TK, this means YOU). So I'm not really that invested in him, or any other player. The Flyers are alot like the Eagles these days. Rooting for the team is the norm because Ive always done so. But the individual player that makes you more invested, becasue of their greatness, seems to be non existent. I can't think of a potential HOF player on the Flyers, Eagles or Philies. I don't care about the Sixers, so it doesn't matter anyway In those down years where your favorite team is not playing at a high level, its nice to root for your hero. The days of Tocchet, Lindros, Clarke, etc. , seem to be over. It has been replaced by a group of "promising", or good "200 foot" players who seem to really shine when they get traded to another team So, for me, I don't care who they move, trade or buy out. I just want them to get better so they are more fun to watch Caveat... I would watch if Morin was playing. He actually has the ability to do something interesting every night by beating someone up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 actually, i stand corrected on my last post..... watching the Flyers you can expect something special to happen every night..... its just usually by the superstar on the other team 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmatus Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Losing Twarynski certainly isn't anything major. Honestly many of the Seattle picks are head scratchers anyway. My guess is they opted to save a bunch of cap space to try and land some high priced FAs or something. Otherwise, on paper they look pretty mediocre at best with what they fished out of this expac draft. As far as the Flyers go, I still feel like Voracek especially should be tradeable. It might require some retained salary, but he's been a productive player for his entire career. Aggravating defensively and prone to carry gaffes, but nonetheless productive. He's still a solid mid-six player who can pinch up on many teams in this league, which to me should mean he'd be tradeable. If that does happen, I actually think we come out ahead here. As @radoran or @ruxpin (whichever :D) mentioned already, we have a bunch of Twarynski's in the system. What we really need are players *better* than Twarynski. Bottom line for me, we lost very little and kept some guys who should absolutely be tradeable and traded away. Voracek is the top of the list, as I expect he's probably the most tradeable. JVR might be too, as long as Fletch hops on the wire pronto. Last season seems an awful lot like an outlier for him, and we should not expect a repeat of it. "His value will never be higher" absolutely applies to JVR right now imo. Ghost seems a hard sell to me, but who knows. Some GMs have an awful habit of gambling on players who had one or two good seasons somewhere in their careers, which is pretty much exactly what Ghost is. A Chiarelli type might bite, if Fletch can find one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
