34thandPearl Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Flyers have 5 rookies (Couts, Rinaldo, Read, Gustavson, and Zolneirczyk) playing significant minutes and playing well.Anyone know if any other NHL teams have so many first year players playing & contributing?Thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The only other one that comes to mind is the Oilers, but I am not too sure how green they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34thandPearl Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks. Whatever happens this season, I am very optimistic about the future of this team. The youth movement Homer pulled off is really quite impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Me too 34thandPearl. It is nice that Cooter, Read, Rinaldo, Gus, and Harry Z are not just mear call ups and will probably have a place with this team for years to come. And to think we haven't even seen what Schenn can do. It's amazing the talent level of this team.This is a good thing being that they will grow as a core (much like the 06-07 Phillies did) and two they are dirt cheap compared to some of the high $$ contracts we have.I have a feeling that a big name will be moved this year to compensate for their D issues. My take is that if they are buyers by the deadline one of our rookies and a high $$ contract will be moved for some much needed defensive help.Oh and from what I counted Edmonton is starting 4 rookies.

flyerrod Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nashville has Blake Geffrion, Craig Smith,John Blum, Matt Halischuk.....and a few more that are only second year players. As far as young talent logging ice time, i would say they are about as close as any other team for fielding the same youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanflyer Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Here is a link. I just did a filter on all teams + rookies and then sorted by games played. There are 82 rookies that have played this year. You can do different sorts (unfortunately not a team sort, but you can go look team by team or games played). Or just go team by team in the filter drop down (very cumbersome).You could also cut and paste each page (3 pages) into a spread sheet and then sort by team and you would have your answer (probably the easiest thing to do).http://www.nhl.com/i...d=nav-sts-indiv Edited November 12, 2011 by Vanflyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
