I would be fine with Raddysh as long as they don’t pay him like he is a 70 point defenseman. The NHL is full of one hit wonders. I think Raddysh is one of those. On that note I also hope Vladar isn’t one of those.
Bill. I agree the Nurse talk makes no sense. In fact, speaking of Edmonton, the Tippett to Edmonton talk makes no sense either as I don’t think Edmonton has anything we want that fits reality and makes sense. Edmonton doesnt have a first round pick until 2028, they have no young center prospects that move the needle and fit what the Flyers are trying to do.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they just run it back with basically the same roster for this upcoming season. You will have Martone for the full year and maybe Bonk and/or Jiricek replace someone in the top 6.
What I hope they don’t do is overpay in a trade or FA for someone that doesn’t markedly improve the team for now and the future.
What’s the deal with Martone getting so unceremoniously demoted? Did he finally hit the wall or is it something else?
The Flyers have to be careful when Pissburgh starts to get in to their headhunting mode. Some of the stuff I saw towards the end of the game reminded me of James Neal headhunting Couturier back in the day. The Flyers need to continue to get under their skin and get them losing their cool. But they also need to keep their heads on a swivel because those sniveling asshats in Yellow (its NOT gold) will attempt to injure and take out players if they can. Its been the M.O. of Crosby led teams for 20 years.
Why call up Jiricek unless there is an injury? I doubt they throw him in to any of these games. Wouldn’t he be better suited playing in the must win games for the Phantoms instead of watching NHL games from the pressbox?
Plus, as for UFAs, there are none I would consider an improvement over what they already have or a needle mover. It will have to be a trade or an offer sheet if they intend to acquire a difference maker at C. A top UFA center just does not exist this offseason.
