OccamsRazor Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The only reason he made the team was because he had decent camp and is on a cheap contract Yes. But just looking back over Homer's tenure as GM and the start of Hextall's how have the Dmen worked out??? 07Kevin Marshall 08Luca Sbisa- traded away to soon it seems.M.A. Bourdon I know he wasn't pick by the Flyer but boy wouldn't John Carlson been a great draft pick for the Flyers in this draft. Just what the need a 6-2 218 right handed shot!!!! But nope they traded the pick away for Steve friggin Eminger!!! DAMN THAT STILL PISSES ME OFF!!! 09Simon BertilssonOliver Lauridsen 10Nick Luukko-career AHLer it seems Ricard Blidstrand 11Colin Sullentrop 12Shayne Gostisbehere-in the AHLFredrik LarssonReece Willcox-senior in collegeValeri Vasiliev-minors in the KHL-didn't even know they had minors...not looking good 13Sam Morin-AHLRobert Hagg-AHLTerrence Amorosa-sophomore in collegeDavid Drake-sophomore in college 14Travis Sanheim-junior...pretty sure he'll be in the AHL next yearMark Friedman-sophomore in collegeJesper Pettersson-AHL 15Ivan Provorov-juniors maybe one more year after this one...not sure. And as you can see it's a extensive list...and i didn't even add the undrafted free agents Homer signed that didn't make it. But some are still in college at the end of the list or still in juniors and the jury is out on them but most are bust and never even got a chance in the NHL. So in reference to Alt i was just wondering which pile he will be tossed into....if he even gets a chance. He is in the last year of his entry level contract and with the sad shape of this blueline if the kid isn't given a chance even then it's more than likely the trade Homer made that included him was just a garbage trade. But he had some great scouting reports and i was hope eventually he could help till the rest of the kids arrive. After watching the current turds on the blueline i'd like to see him get a game in when the cap situation allows it. Manning (who was a free agent signing) is garbage.

pilldoc Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 @OccamsRazor http://www.mynhldraft.com/2016/NHL-Draft-Profiles/Patrik-LainePatrik Laine Ht/Wt: 6' 4"/210 lbsPosition: RWTeam: Tappara (SWE) Elite Propects 2014Laine is a towering forward with a knack for scoring goals. A good skater, albeit not the most agile forward in traffic. Has a set of soft hands combined with good vision, but prefers to use his heavy shot. Sometimes dangles too long. Likes to play physical, but doesn't get carried away by hitting the opponents.Drafted 2015, round 2 #36 overall by Dinamo Riga in the KHL DraftDrafted 2015, round 1 #24 overall by Sarnia Sting in the CHL Import Draft http://scouting-factory.blogspot.com/2015/04/patrik-laine.htmlPatrik Laineby Dennis Schellenberg Team: LeKi photo by iltalehti.fi League: MestisPosition: RWBorn: 19th April 1998Height: 6.4 Weight: 209Draft eligible for NHL Draft 2016 Size/Strength ExcellentSkatingAverageShot/ScoringGoodPuckhandlingGoodPhysical PlayGoodOffensive PlayGoodDefensive Play GoodHockey SenseGoodCompetitivenessGood Report Card – Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average, Poor Strengths1. Puckhandling2. Size/Strength3. Good Defensive Mind Area’s For Improvement1. Skating Agility2. First Steps3. Explosiveness Scouting Report:A towering power forward who uses his size to protect the puck and winning corner battles. Has good vision and an accurate shot. Is a very good puckhandler and very calm while carrying the puck, never panicks. Doesn't need a lot of space and keeps calm also with defenders pressuring him. A good pass receiver, able to handle inaccurate passes and bouncing pucks. Plays a responsible role in his own zone. Needs to work on his skating agility and is not an explosive skater. Possesses a good hand-eye coordination. Laine will be eligible for the 2016 draft, where he should be considered a top prospect. Plays good in all three zones and understand the game very well. NHL Potential: Power Forward, who has a great size and is good in both zones. http://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-draft-patrik-laines-stock-is-rising/ NHL Draft: Patrik Laine’s Stock Is Rising Is He a Top 3 Prospect?While Matthews and defenceman Jakob Chychrun are the first and second overall picks in most of the rankings, the race for the third overall spot seems to be more open currently. By end of last season Finnish forward Jesse Puljujarvi looked like a safe third overall in most of the rankings. As of now some scouting agencies have Laine slipped into the top three. Hockeyprospect for example has him at number three in their September update, while FutureConsiderations sees him still behind Puljujarvi at number four. ISSHockey listed him at number six in their October list. http://www.mckeenshockey.com/feature-story/youngblood-preliminary-2016-nhl-draft-rankings-2/7. Patrik Laine, RW (Tappara, Liiga)The 2016 draft class is trending towards players combining above-average size, power, strength, as well as skill and Patrik Laine meets all of that criteria. The burly winger owns a shoot-first mentality yet remains a viable playmaker with slick puckhandling ability. His skating remains a work in progress and while there appears to be plenty of questions regarding his character, work ethic and defensive commitments, Laine’s package of brute strength, hockey sense and feared shooting abilities earn him top 10 consideration. The Sarnia Sting own his CHL rights after selecting him in the 2015 Import Draft so it’ll be interesting to follow whether they’ll be able to lure him from overseas in future seasons. For now, Laine looks to establish himself as a threat in Finland’s top professional league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 @pilldoc You see that Doc, it says he is a RW. Bobby and i were discussing that in the other thread that was locked but the mock i posted and some of the video shows him playing LW. I'm guessing he is a guy who can play either wing. So if he is to be drafted by the Flyers i hope it's with the intentions of him being a LW because they are thinnest there i think and they could use a kid who is already 6-4 218 i think so i'd like that. They are already loaded so to speak at RW. So whomever let it be a LW. The could use a center with the 2nd rounder after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ8812 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I know he wasn't pick by the Flyer but boy wouldn't John Carlson been a great draft pick for the Flyers in this draft. Just what the need a 6-2 218 right handed shot!!!! But nope they traded the pick away for Steve friggin Eminger!!! DAMN THAT STILL PISSES ME OFF!!! Homer's worst move IMO. There was no reason to trade a 1st for Eminger. When Homer offered that to WSH,I bet they laughed at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 @RJ8812 So i see Labarbera got the start again and they lose...hey but there was some positives...he finally didn't give up 4 goals...only 3 so hey he is getting better they lost 4-2. Still can't figure why he is starting over Stolarz. http://ahl.neulion.com/ahl/video/lehigh-valley-phantoms-vs-hershey-bears/13635 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I think Hagg is back in the lineup for the Phantoms. I imagine Pettersson will sit he wasn't in last night lineup so it maybe Lashoff or Mcdudm that sits. Hopefully Stolarz gets the start and win.
