I doubt he is claimed; if so, no great loss.  I'd view this positively.  Growing a youngster with upside has greater value to the organization.

No great loss but one of the few Flyers who gave a 100% every shift.

I can't disagree that he brings important intangibles to the table, but his NHL experience doesn't inspire:

If I had to put money on it, Laczynski is the opening fourth line center.

Only one confirmed waiver so far is Connauton.  Grosenick sent to minors.

100% of zero is still zero.

I think because he is big, skates well, and willing to hit and fight he looks busy when he's on the ice his eye test results are better than his actual play.

His simple metrics, xG especially are terrible, the team gets caved when he's on the ice. So maybe this is a case where things aren't being done the way they always have been® radoran

Even though he "does stuff", it's not good stuff often enough. He was on waivers for a reason last year and because so much of this team was injured and checked out last season, his pumping arms and legs stood out from the zombies that were here already.

don't be too quick to discount the return of Gerry Mayhew, at Dave Scott's demand.

lol, I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd snapped up has been Foligno from the Bruins but I don't think they have the cap room to do it. very little with this team would surprise me this year (outside of winning).

They don't they had to actually perform a paper transaction by sending Laczynski and Allison down and only have 11 forwards to get cap complyent to recall them tomorrow.

 

How Chuck has a job is beyond me. Unless he is following instructions which would explain everything.

And this music I'm listening to now is better than it sounds.

I'd like to see them put a teleprompter in front of him, and see what happens....it works for POTUS

MacEwen had a good game last night - despite the b.s. roughing minor. Tortorella was obviously happy with him and the entire bottom 6. I don't think he shortened the bench at all even in the final minutes. I like the message: everybody is expected to play disciplined hockey and be part of closing out a tight game.
