But 2 games against Anaheim, 1 the Yotes, 1 Buffalo and 1 the Sharks....none of these are good teams. But hopefully he's for real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As had many have said he will look at this as a chance to make the playoffs and will in turn try to add for a shot for the playoffs instead of purging players for picks/prospects. Felix is a UFA at seasons end and should be move regardless by the deadline hopefully for a 3rd or a prospect which should be reasonable since he was a 3rd rounder himself. But the Flyers need to be a team removing players/contracts and not adding them unless they are young and for the future moving forward. As i said very nervous of what they will let Chuck do before he is fired... Occ: I agree--CF isscary as architect. Thanks for reminding me of his UFA status--even more reason for a trade. And if it is a pick, so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it impresses me for the simple fact he has only played 23 AHL games and only 7 in the pros and only 23 years old so not much time transitioning to the smaller ice with this very suspect team in front of him. Very well done. But he will only ruin the chances of getting a top draft pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres already carrying three goalies and have Lou Conan as their potential starter going forward. I think Sandstrom has a good chance to get snabbed, but I don't think it's Buffalo.

I think Sandstrom has a good chance to get snabbed, but I don't think it's Buffalo. That is the perfect reason to claim Sandstrom though all they have to do is claim Sandstrom and waive a Anderson and bury him in the AHL and go with the younger Felix. The only requirement is they will have to carry Felix on the roster for 30 days before they can/could waive him. Anderson cap hit is 1.5 mill and Sandstrom is 775K and well i can see them eating 500K for Felix and improving the goal because Anderson is 800 years old and not signed beyond this season. For example even the Ducks Felix would be worth the gamble over Stolarz. It really depends on if any scouts think Felix can help and improve over what they already have on their roster. I just don't want to lose Felix for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran ten simulations on tankathon just now. In three they stayed at nine, in six they lost ground and picked 10 or 11, and in one they got #2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and the Ducks are ahead in the waiver wire. Buffalo's right next to the Flyers(!) I could see any of the dregs of the West taking a shot.

I could see any of the dregs of the West taking a shot. That is why i am waiving someone else and keeping 3 goalies. Or just sending Ersson back down who is waiver exempt regardless of his performance and then Ersson can prepare to get the Phantoms hopefully finally into the playoffs. Felix can just fill in till the deadline trade him for example a 3rd and just in turn recall Grosenick for the remainder of the season. But we are talking about Chuck so knowing him he'll package Felix with a 3rd (from Panthers because they don't have their own 3rd and well they also don't have a 2nd rounder to give) for a 30 year old center for a playoff push. Cause defiantly a playoff team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, OccamsRazor said: Damn how do you send this kid down and bring Sandstrom back up because Felix was down for a stint to get back into playing form. To me this is simple, Ersson is waiver exempt. If Hart is the man, and I think he is a franchise goalie, then he's playing most of the games anyway. Sandstrom will not clear waivers. He's good enough that I wouldn't want to lose him for nothing. So if it were me, I'd make sure Felix tweeks his hammy every month, so he can go to the A and rehab it. *winks- shify eyes* I tell Ersson he's a valuable part of the team going forward and not to take being sent down personally. For the first time that I can remember the Flyers have decent depth at goaltender. I try like hell to keep it that way.

Let Ersson go to the Phantoms and play lots of games and hopefully a long playoff run. He's winning too many games in Philly and ruining our draft position. We can also get a real good look at Sandstrom and if he plays well, his trade value increases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can talk about it but when you add in superfluous bull it's not talking about the issue, it's talking past it to make cheap political points. You know this to be true.

Greetings: I commented on this subject by responding to Occ's question and tried to answer it in a factual manner with no social commentary. Repeating what was said earlier, Comcast allowed for a "Big Tent" approach. Ivan had his say, Comcast had its say, the game was played and that's about it. This "incident" was before the game. As such, it is fair game. But I respect Rad's efforts to maintain civility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
