jammer2 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Raffl's versatility basically guarantees him a roster spot for the foreseeable future, good for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilsFanDrew Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd like to see Raffl on the line with Couturier and Read. With Adam Hall scoring the other night and Raffl scoring last night that 4th line has been more productive than the 3rd line and a big reason has been Raffl's play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Being out of the local Philly market I am forced to watch a lot of visitor feeds on center ice. In doing so I have witnessed a number of announcers comment that Raffl is a solid player Swiped off the twitter feed... “WOWY basically looks at how a player does with each of his teammates, how he does away from each teammate, and how each teammate does away from him. The reason why I’d suggest that you use this is because from a Corsi standpoint, Raffl makes the vast majority of his teammates much better when he plays with them.” - See more at: http://thehockeywriters.com/michael-raffl-philadelphias-versatile-forward/#sthash.RtyS9HQO.dpuf Sounds good trade Downie fabric softner and insert Raffl with Coots and Read what could go wrong...

Lunatic Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Leino had a 19 goal/53 point season for the Flyers and was +14. Raffl's on pace for 10/31 (rounded up) - Even. Jus' sayin' I don't think the comparison is as far fetched as a lot of you seem to. Again, I like the player but there is an occasional tendency to overvalue what is in front of us. So you're saying six years, $4.5M per? I like that number and it should be attractive to Raffl unless he sees himself like a lot of people around here seem to It is just this overvaluing the makes players want to play for the Flyers. We love honest, hardworking players, but it is a double-edge sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Raffl = a more talented version of Branko Radiovich (sp...lol)....who btw, has just been picked to replace Gaborik on the Slovakia Olympic squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
