“I hope they don’t press #6 into the lineup right away. Keeping Jett around to begin the season put him behind the 8-ball in a critical development season.”
I don’t think it’s out of hand to see him get the 10 game look out of camp like Luchanko did last year. I also don’t think it’s out of hand to see Luchanko start well enough with LHV to get called up. I can see them get a combined 50-60 games in with the Flyers.
“why do you continually leave brink put of every lineup you post? he is a lock unless traded. Abols will be the 4th line unless they sign a free agent. Pelletier still in the mix one would guess. maybe add that shabonov.”
The Flyers are going to develop beyond some guys sooner rather than later. Abols, Brink and Pelletier will get games but that won’t last forever.
“I don’t see them signing Cates and then not playing him at center.”
By the end of 25-26 I can easily see Couturier, Cates, Zegras, Luchanko and the center at #6 all being in the Top 12 playing for the Flyers. They can’t run five lines out there. Tocchet has already said they’d try Michkov and Zegras together. Why not put a 3rd man high cheating two-way forward out there with them?
For free agents: Just because it’s the Flyers, I could see them targeting Trent Frederic.
I would be interested in signing Ryan Lindgren.
If they sign Shabanov, call it a summer for signings.
freddy reupped with the oilers last week
He’s listed as a UFA yet?
nevermind, just announce he signed
a good chance lol. he is s fucking lock. mind boggling to think otherwsie[/quote]
As it stands now yes. I was thinking if we signed Shabanov what that may mean for Brink/Pell. Brink would play over Pelletier. It’s also the Flyers. What most think should/will happen doesn’t always.
Brink and Pelletier have a good chance to be on the opening night roster.

I don’t see them signing Cates and then not playing him at center. The smart move would be to not rush Luchanko or whoever is the 6th pick.I would not be too sad and would actually prefer Luchanko go back to Juniors for one more season. They rushed him last season when he was clearly not ready.[/quote]
He was a first round pick who was exposed to 4 NHL games. He was sent back down. If he stayed up I could see and argument for rushing him.
Sure, goaltending and the D look disastrous but the forward lines have some interesting potential if all goes well with the top draftees:
Cates-Zegras-Michkov
Tippett-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Luchanko-#6
Open-Open-HathawayI don’t dislike the looks of that once we’re into the season.

whoever they take at 6 and the Jett I pray are returned to whatever team they need to be returned too.
