What was snowdens main role while he was an assistant?
What happened to Jason smith?
Smith went back to junior level head coaching. Snowden was Lappy’s bench assistant .
with the forest looking like he won’t miss any time, how much of an effect does this have on bump or another prospect making the team. in no order:
tk – ex selke – mm
tippet – zegras – dvorak
forest – cates – brink
? – ? – GHjust don’t see Dvorak playing 4th line center. one hopes ND will not be playing though it won’t shock anyone. Would think Abols would have the inside track for the 4th line center pot. wonder if they invite any players on a PTO.
Defense is looking stellar
york – sanheim
seeler – Juulson ?
Andrae – Zamula
Gilbert?all quiet on the RR front not a peep.
It’s good you’re finally seeing the wisdom of keeping two of your nine best forwards in the Top 9, but flipping Cates to wing is the move as Dvorak is much better at the dot. That does leave 4C as an issue. It’s a spot that’s up for grabs. Any wing with decent size who matches Brink’s offense through camp supplants him. Bump seems to be the scuttlebutt front runner. Deslauriers plays. The Flyers are fine up front with upside not far down the road. Have you given up on Drysdale? I’m not optimistic but at least I have him penciled into the lineup.
Defense pairings right now are:
York – Sanheim
Seeler – Drysdale
??? – Zamula/Juulsen (until Ristolainen gets back)Possibilities are Andrae Gilbert, Bonk (unlikely out of camp).
BTW, for whatever reason, the ex-Selke thing pushes my buttons. Every Selke winner who is not the reigning winner (Barkov) is an ex-winner.
It’s doable but I don’t think the Flyers want to offer the sweetener(s) it’d take. Think Gostisbehere trade after he was waived with no takers and exposed (but unselected) in the Seattle expansion. I think the Flyers are gun shy since then about ridding themselves of a contract at any cost.
