Also, I would have thought if we were going to wine about taking Goulbourne over anyone the third round it would have been Guentzel, not Bjorkstrand, but that’s just me. Lol. Was he really drafted ahead of Guentzel? Astounding. I mean, the Flyers weren't the only ones who missed there, but wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the Flyers weren't the only ones who missed there, but wow. Duclair too. BUT to be fair, A LOT of guys were taken above Geuntzel and Duclair. Oddly, both teams traded their first and second round picks that year (the penguins got a second back from Columbus though). The Rangers apparently didn't have a second either. I think DuClair was their first pick. The Penguins got goalie Tristan Jarry ahead of Guentzel. Guentzel IMHO, SHOULD have been the Conn Smythe winner on their last run. Crosby got it on name recognition and the C alone. He hasn't the achievements of Jake Guentzel yet, but Lindblom was a 5th rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot wants a chance to be a No. 1 again. Nothing imminent on RFA re-signings but that is now the No. 1 priority. Too bad both are lost in the woods... GM speak. I dont buy it. The guy was overrated. There's a reason he keeps getting moved . He was a throw in for the Simmonds trade and the Flyers saw enough (way more then needed) of him Thank you trash truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that Chuck is a Wiley one. No. I think Nashville saw enough and wanted him gone. So they convinced the Flyers to give him a change of scenery. On paper, considering his draft position, it could be argyed he would be a good assest. However, he was what he was, and they jettisoned him first chance The description of who he is as a player, and the reality, are worlds apart. He's FAKE NEWS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’f Assumed he’d be getting As much from the Flyers. He’s a very acceptable role player. I think he would have been an excellent 4RW who could slot up to 3 On injury fill in. He’s not a top 6er. Big whoop. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have utility to someone. I’m not gonna rag on him because Fletcher brought him back for Simmonds and he wasn’t a secret smash success. He was a good role player who should be good for 12-15mins of solid hockey a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Then why has every team hes played for, jettisoned him? Flyers didnt keep him for a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
