Title: 2016 Flyers Season Thread
Post by: SD on October 12, 2016, 12:57:32 PM
Regular season starts October 14th against LA. Only downside is the game starts at 1030. Excited to see Prov and Konechny and the continued development of Ghost. Last year was pretty blah but the push towards the postseason was fun.

well at least its a Friday night. really pumped for this season. looking forward to seeing konechny playing on the 2nd line with jake from voracek and seany boy. at least that's where I heard he is playing.

Post by: SD on October 12, 2016, 01:23:15 PM
Jake was pretty bad last season and the contract they gave him was awful, but he looked great in the preseason. Most preseason sports you can take with a grain of salt because players are half assing it and the coaches put in vanilla schemes but hockey's the one sport where it's a pretty good indicator of the upcoming season. It's why dipshteins like Gudas and Steve Downie check like it's game 7 of the playoffs.

i love his system and philosophy but his lineups are atrocious...generally hes always playing the wrong 6th defenseman or is attached at the hip of a horrible 4th liner...which drives me nuts but doesnt usually effect the outcome of the game but benching ghost last night was beyond the pale....

of course they won 5-2 and dumb people including makybe hak will think it was justified because of the outcome

It was funny to see Rask save all those shootout attempts effortlessly (other than Voracek), and lets Ghost's flutter by.

Mason's streaky and just really not that good. I hope they give Neuvirth a legit chance to win the starting job, he's shown he can play clutch in the playoffs while Mason lets dump ins from the redline go between his pads.

Provorov leads the defenseman in ice time. The rest of the D has been dreadful. At least when Streit comes back they'll have another semi-competent defenseman. I knew ghost would have a sophomore slump but not this bad.

$27M is reasonable for a guy who looked like he'd be sent back to the minors just a few months ago?

If he plays like he did as a rookie, it's a good deal.

He struggled, but did not look like a minor leaguer.  And yes, the $27M is the going rate for young talented defensemen these days.  If he pans out to even a second pairing, the Flyers have control until he's 30 for $4.5M per year, and it's a damn good deal.

Unfortunately, the going rate for teachers is missing about six zeros from that figure!

I meant it appeared it was possible that the Flyers were going to send him down.  And he looked like dogshtein the first half of the season.  Granted he was "injured" but after his rookie year he was a major disappointment.

what in the farg is going on!?!??!

this is corey pronman (universally repsected) final mock

1. New Jersey Devils: Cale Makar, D, Brooks (AJHL)

The popular notion for months has been that it is Nolan Patrick vs. Nico Hischier for this spot. But in the past few weeks, it has been indicated to me from several NHL sources that the Devils are leaning towards selecting Makar first overall. Moreover, GM Ray Shero has been following Makar around to get a closer look during the final weeks of his season. It's possible if Makar is the Devils' guy, this is a trade-down scenario for them.

If the Devils stay at No. 1 and Makar is the selection, it would be a ground-breaking moment in the draft. Makar would be the first top overall pick from Canadian Jr. A since Barry Gibbs in 1966, and the first top selection outside top tier junior/NCAA/pro hockey since Brian Lawton in 1983.

will hotel and flight prices be cheaper the first weekend after a big event...or are prices for a non big event weekend always the same

i would think the very first weekend after any big event would be the best time to go price wise

Lol no but I go to Vegas for SB weekend so I'm not staying for a full week plus.

Havas - sometimes. It depends on what conventions are going on. If they have a lot booked then it will be more expensive than a big event weekend. Corporate expense accounts pay full fare on the rooms.

They're trying to kill the free booze...ticket writers are getting stingy with the drink tickets. A $20 bet for them usually helps get five or so more tickets tho

Not a huge fan of the trade. Schenn's only 25. They got a late first in a weak draft and a conditional first in another draft. Plus they took on a zesty contract of an underperforming player who's 29. Little baffled by this deal to be honest.

Post by: rjs246 on June 24, 2017, 08:09:41 AM
I'm not crazy about the trade but I think I get it.

Schenn is basically useless at even strength and he was occupying the roster and position spot that they have slotted for Patrick. Two first rounders for a player that you have moved on from doesn't strike me as terrible value even if you have to take on a junk player in the process.
Title: Re: 2016 Flyers Season Thread
Post by: SD on June 24, 2017, 08:39:40 AM
Schenn is a winger (which they're short on) and Patrick is a center. Which makes the move even that much more baffling. Hextall said they weren't looking to move Schenn but got an offer they didn't think they could pass up. They took on a crap contract too.
Title: Re: 2016 Flyers Season Thread
Post by: ice grillin you on June 24, 2017, 08:51:06 AM
say what you want about schenn but he had 50 goals the last two years....where is that production coming from now

I won't pretend to know anything about Morgan frost but I read enough to know that he was a massive reach at 27 and I don't even know why they took lehtera....he's a waste of oxygen

I like hexy a lot but he ain't no hinkie
Title: Re: 2016 Flyers Season Thread
Post by: Rome on June 24, 2017, 09:14:31 AM
Frost was the 31st ranked player in the NHL Central Scouting Service list of prospects.  Not a huge stretch at that point by any means.  After getting Provorov, Ghost, etc. I'll defer to their scouting team on that one.

As for Schenn, he's a center.  They cut two years of Schenn's back end salary, picked up two #1's and a MARGINALLY useful bum they'll pay for two seasons while Patrick acclimates himself to the NHL.

I'm not crazy about losing Schenn either but I get it too.

Title: Re: 2016 Flyers Season Thread
Post by: SD on June 24, 2017, 11:44:09 AM
They traded their 2nd, a 3rd, and a 4th to move up 9 spots in the 2nd to take 6'6 winger Isaac Ratcliffe. Pretty sure they have an extra 3rd and I know they had a ton of 4ths. A few sites had him as a late 1st. He's only 200 lbs so he obviously needs to pack on some weight.

the flyers have the number one system in the nhl....

1. Philadelphia Flyers
Previous rank: 6

The Flyers don't have as much game-breaking talent as our No. 2 team does at the top of their system, but 2017 No. 2 overall pick Nolan Patrick is right up there; after Patrick, the Flyers have the cupboards lined with talent at every position. The group includes solid first-round picks, middle-round selections who have trended up, and an undrafted free agent in Philippe Myers who is one of the very best defense prospects in hockey. Not too long ago, the Flyers' farm system was a laughingstock, with C-grade college free agents making it into their top five. Today, they are in the best position of any NHL team in terms of adding young premium players to their roster.
