Flyers 15-16 Season Thread

[Geowhizzer]

Thoroughly dominated the Islanders today.  Best I've seen them play this year.

not sure if anyone heard or cares but koecny got traded last week in the ohl....his debut tonight for his new team he notched a hat trick

I read that but didn't/don't have any idea how that works. He's still in the flyers org but can be traded between minor league teams? Totally baffled by the logistics but whatever. Young talent everywhere right now and it gives me the boners.

yeah they are their own league in that way...pretty much have full autonomy when it comes to player movement within the league....its funny watching some of the trades and how ridiculous they are sometimes...like a team might be having operating cost issues and will trade their best player for rent on their arena or in the konecy trade the team that got him gave up TEN draft picks in the deal

like trade him for a bag of pucks in junior hockey is not just a saying

Not minor league teams, junior teams.  NHL teams have no say over what the junior leagues do, from what I can gather.

new mid season top 50 nhl prospects is out...

17. Ivan Provorov, D, Philadelphia Flyers (Previous: 31)
Age: 19 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 201
Team: Brandon (WHL) | GP: 32 | G: 9 | A: 23

Provorov was one of the best defensemen at the WJC, and continues to be a pillar for his WHL team. His hockey sense is top-end. He just looks like a unique player on the ice in terms of how he moves the puck, jumps into the attack and anticipates the play. He looks a little awkward traveling around the ice due to his skating style, but he makes it work very well for him, and overall I'd rate him very good in that area. He projects as a top-end scorer with average to slightly above-average defensive abilities.

23. Travis Konecny, C, Philadelphia Flyers (Previous: 18)
Age: 18 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 176
Team: Ottawa (OHL) | GP: 29 | G: 7 | A: 38

Konecny has been great in the first few months of this OHL season, and should be a key part of Sarnia's playoff run after being traded to them (he has three goals in two games since the trade). He's a really exciting player to watch because he's a little engine who can beat you with speed or skill, or pummel you into the ice, despite his diminutive frame. If he can stay healthy as a pro, he has all the tools to be successful in the NHL as a scorer. While often tagged as an "energy bug," he does have dynamic skill components to his game as well.

37. Oskar Lindblom, LW, Philadelphia Flyers (Previous: 46)
Age: 19 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 192
Team: Brynas (SHL)| GP: 28 | G: 5 | A: 13

He has been very good for Brynas in the SHL this season, getting some significant minutes on a regular basis. Lindblom won't blow you away with skill, but he has solid hands, very good vision and has some creativity in his game. He's also a reliable off-the-puck forward who plays hard and has the size to get to the net to win the tough battles. His speed is still a big issue, although he has shown improvement in that area recently.

there were ten honorable mentions flyers had one : Travis Sanheim, D, Philadelphia Flyers

flyers also had two of the top ten goalies: 6. Felix Sandstrom, Philadelphia Flyers, 10. Anthony Stolarz, Philadelphia Flyers
