If I am Dallas I let Duchene and Granlund walk so I have enough to resign Robertson. Trading him to keep those 2 is stupid.
In hindsight yes.
At the time it was very much up for debate whether he would ever be able to come over to NA.
I really don’t agree with this. The only comparable people kept using was the Fedotov situation and that was because he tried to skip out on military service. Plenty of other Russian players were coming over all the time. He was never not coming over. Now if you want to say the three year wait was a factor then I can agree with that. But there was never any real doubt he would not be in the NHL within three years.
McQueen’s my preferred pick at #6. He possibly has the highest upside in the entire draft, he’s huge and he plays down the middle.
He is definitely the biggest Hail Mary swing. I’ve seen many reports that he is totally healed. That the problem was misdiagnosed and it turned out to be bone related and that the bone is now completely healed.
I just think the Flyers are too gunshy after what happened with Patrick. His combo of size and skill is exactly what the Flyers need, do they have the guts to take that chance?
decent cap hit and term. A little longer than I anticipated for a little less than I anticipated. I guess everyone wins.
It seems too long for us fans. I’m sure they really have no choice as the arenas may have other events scheduled in the interim.
Here’s my prediction:
This site is going to die. The only poster who seems to be talking to himself most days is yes it’s me 2050. No one wants to even engage him so traffic to the site will slowly shrivel.
The only other folks posting are so negative by default that Bill will get fed up with the daily downers and they will turn on Bill the second he defends something the flyers do.
Good luck with this weird little group.
Between that and Black_Francis creating all these fake accounts, its been a rough start for sure.
has DB been fired yet?
I heard he was a terrible GM
Don’t you have to help your dad change out the urinal cakes? Tell him Im sorry I dint have any cash for his basket the last time, but thanks for the paper towels.
The Athletic put out another mock and has them taking Martone at #6.
They have Cullen Potter at #22 and Prokhorov at #30.
Top 7:
Schaeffer
Misa
Desnoyers
Hagens
Frondell
Martone
O’BrienIf Martone is there at 6 you sprint to the podium and thank the hawkey gawds for giving us another undeserved blessing.
Why cut ties with him? If anything it shows those outside the organization that it values loyalty. People see that and it DOES actually matter. It hurts nobody to keep him on as an advisor, probably while he shops himself around for another coaching gig. Now whether or not he gets another coaching gig is another story. I don’t see an issue with it as long as he isn’t behind one of the benches.
ASF reporting Flyers have interest in signing Maxim Shabanov. If Shabanov comes over, it will be between the Flyers and Vegas. This is a very good test for Briere to get this deal over the line, McCrimmon has been very good. I really do not care if Shabanov is small, the organization needs to be collecting talent regardless of stature. Only costs money and a contract slot to find out if Shabanov can play in North America. Get it done.
I would imagine he has a much better chance of playing right away if he joins the Flyers. He certainly is a small player, and you may not want him and Michkov on the Ice at the same time. But he scores a lot in a pretty good league and definitely has the skill. I think it is in the best interest of the Flyers to make Michkov as comfortable as possible by surrounding him with as many skilled Russians as they can find lol.
