I might not be, as I've said a pile of times if he trades back, gets another pick in 23 or something where he dumps 5 for 8-12...I would be pretty happy, the Flyers would still most likely get their guy and depending on the extra thing(s) that come with trading #5 an other crack at a high ceiling player either later in this draft or '23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would feel better if I actually trusted Chuck to do the right thing. At this moment I simply do not trust him….. i do get your POV though…. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 @pilldoc If it's trade #5 for exclusive rights to negotiate with Filip Forsberg....I'll get the kerosene and feathers and meet you in the parking lot of Flying Fish Brewing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Wow seems like a lot are under the thumb. Must be in a lot of the prospects minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Nice play to create the turnover and even better snipe. 7th round pick Santeri Sulku. 6-4 192 needs to eat and hit the weights. Hey a 7th round pick....whatever seen you when you sign a entry level contract. A Big Finn with solid speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 @radoran Now has a prospect he can follow and let us know when he will be a NHL Allstar. Alex Bump. I think he is a fellow Catamount....or the bourbon and heat has scrambled my brain and i have him confused with someone else. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/623782/alex-bump A late 2002 birthdate so we'll see 5th so you never know...another wasted pick or another Oskar find. Ok size 6-0 183 not bad for an 18 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 What a shame. So now that leaves only Ersson for LV. I'm sure Chuckles will sign some bum vet to block Sandstrom and he will get waived and claimed by the Penguins or something stupid. Especially with Fedotov career maybe being over. A strength surely looks weak now...depth in goal. If the Preds are smart might want to get their guy out too. Maybe they bring back the goalie who played so well down the stretch i forget his name...

OccamsRazor Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) @radoran Your scouting assignment should you choose to accept... ...first things first...WTF is a Catamount??? And is that program going to be any good next season?? If you even know. I have to say confidence goes a long way seems to have it. But talk can be cheap. We'll see. Check back in about 3 years.

OccamsRazor Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 This is a very big year for Lappy and the Phantoms. Seems he will have a very stacked lineup to work with. With all the talent he will have like guys like Wisdom it should be playoffs or bust if they do not make the playoffs Lappy should be fired.

mojo1917 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) @OccamsRazor I don't know if he'll work out and become the envisioned power forward at the NHL level. I liked the little I saw of him though. I thought he had pretty okay hands and did well in tight spaces in spite of his sprawling adolescent moose build. Maybe COVID was harder on these guys than we know and they'll all start to develop or take the next step. He seemed to have some other intangible qualities too. Guys on his line seemed to listen up when he was speaking even vets. I thought he handled himself more like a vet than a kid on a cup of coffee.

Yeah he has so much competition now form all these kids and his skating issues at best will maybe put him in the bottom 6. That and the fact that he is 6-6 and still doesn't know how to be physical enough to suit the NHL. Who knows we'll see. It is getting closer to now or never for him.

He'll probably be another Aube-Kubel if that's the action they take with him, with him being young and affordable. There are definitely teams out there that will take the gamble on him at his cost and age. Maybe they don't care. Just like with NAK. They aren't signing Jack St. Ivany either to an entry level contract. A 6-3 205 Right hand shot who is a stay at type defenseman who went to Boston College. I guess Chuck didn't pick them so he doesn't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid still has a lot of time to get better and grow. His skating will always hold him back. Seems to be the Flyer's MO always going after guys with skating issues gambling I guess that they can fix that. Instead of just going after guys who can skate well. I guess that is all Holmgren.

Check out the wheels on Samu at the 52 second mark of this goal clip...Flyers need this speed in Spades. I think the kid needs another year to settle in in the Liiga before they even think about bringing him back over. His team has 6 other AHL prospects on it. He is the smallest of the 6. https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/417/jukurit/2021-2022?sort=age By the time he is 22 i expect him to be back over. He will be 20 in January. He has Sami Kapanen and the team he plays for also has Oli Jokinen to guide him. Let him marinate...

mojo1917 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 @OccamsRazor they definitely need a couple of these guys to hit. I think Samu could be something if his game and body continue to grow. I hope those Fins help him along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Samu could be something if his game and body continue to grow. I hope those Fins help him along. Samu had a real rough year last year. It certainly didn't help that they kept him in Lehigh Valley, when they should have sent him to Sudbury. Instead, he got hurt and ended up bouncing around between the AHL and the Finnish league. Kapanen really has his work cut out for him. I have to admit, I'm a Tyson Foerster fan. The man reinvented his skating and he's become such a more effective skater now. I know that the shoulder injury wasn't good, but at least he got some games in this year and it looks like the shoulder's fine. If the offense is there to start the year and if it's really strong, it gives Tortorella an option to go to if things are stagnating in the lineup. My wish though is that Alison is healthy. If the Flyers could hit on those two, that would be something HUGE for this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Well Phantoms get another forward to fight for a spot. https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/lycksell-looks-to-excel-in-north-america/c-335160804?tcid=tw_news_content_id Was on loan last year. Coming over to see if he can handle the big lights... ...also a LW spot is up for grabs on the Flyers while Farabee is on IR.
