peter puck Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Do you guys think there will be any surprises ala Matt Read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDI-Flyer Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Short answer... no.Laughton will play well and possibly challenge for 3 fourth line center role. IMO Cousins will challenge likewise but will probably play the season out in the AHL barring major injury problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Do you guys think there will be any surprises ala Matt Read?There are not enough vacancies on the roster for any surprises. The first 3 lines are more or less set. There will probably be shuffling and players will migrate from 1st line to the 2nd or vise versa, but there would probably be no spots to compete for... at least as long as everybody is healthy.

jammer2 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 @peter puck I think a couple of injuries will happen in camp and a few players will respond to the challenge and surprise us. Could be someone we know, could be a relative unknown. The Flyers have decent enough scouts that someone could come out of left field and throw us for a loop, especially from the NCAA ranks. Maybe one of those NCAA tenders stands on his head for instance....who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the guys we drafted this year are ready to make the leap and we are pretty tight up to the contract limit so not much prospect of bringing in colleges FA's unless we get shot of some contracts. If you said to me Gus and Ollie might make the team for example then I would agree, but wouldn't categorise it as a huge surprise... Other than that we pretty much know what we have, and having seen most of the prospects play it would be a big surprise to me if Tye McGinn (just a random choice) turned into a 30 goal scorer for example.
