2023-24 Roster Thread #9: Spring time is upon us

Would you accept Lappy as an AC as a replacement for Rocky?

If there was one thing Lappy could do as a player, it was definitely the powerplay.

It’s like taking your hand out of a cow patty and grabbing a hand full of horse manure. Doesn’t matter, really.

What the f*** was the point of waiting this long? Could have done this long ago and been well on his way rehabbing.

I don’t understand this mentality. Camp is five months away.

I don’t understand this mentality. Camp is five months away.

Modern players work on stuff outside of camp and often lament losing any of that time to rehab.

He wanted to make it back for the playoffs

have you watched the reboot?

 

[BernieParent]

Meltzer reporting a contract extension for Lappy is in the works.

Just shoot me and get it over with already.

Simply incredible that there is zero accountability among coaches and that the FO refuses to address cavernous holes in player development and special teams. What other professional organization would not have fired the coach of a particular aspect of the game after 3 consecutive last-place rankings?

 

[Deadpool8812]

Remember when Lappy was in charge of the PK and it progressively got worse each season he was in charge, and then as soon as he gets replaced, it magically improved?

Negative. Is it any good? What's it on?

Curious to what you see as the positives, because for me they are few and far between for this season.

TK set a career high in goals, led the league in SH goals, and generally was the man and a blast to watch.

Tippett set career highs in G, A, and PTS, and had a few stretches of really dominant games and highlight reel goals.

York I thought had a really strong season and was asked to do a lot and looked pretty solid doing it.

Brink showed some real flash, even after getting dicked around by Torts. He looks like one of the more creative players on this team.

Foerster was quietly impressive - in stretches he was very visible, in others I think he was ok.

Ersson played like a #1 in stretches. Kind of hard to evaluate him fully because of all the drama and skeleton defense in front of him at times, but the potential is there.

The PK as a whole was dynamite for most of the season. I think trading Walker, losing like 3 starting defenseman, and then adding a guy like Johnson really put a damper on the whole thing, and then it kinda sagged.

Like I said, as a whole, I really enjoyed watching them this season.

 

[TheKingPin]

The biggest positives to me are all the rookies playing so well and having a #1 goalie. Signing Walker and turning him into a 1st. Seems very likely we get wing/D with 1sts this year so I think it’s now a no brainer to trade TK and tank for next year to allow for centers to come in.

 

[TheKingPin]

What are the Flyer Ass Coach breakdowns?

Does the same coach work with the PK and D? That’s a bright spot as well. They made Risto better, great gears for Sanheim and York, Walker and Seeler playing above their level, the PK was great and a threat to score which I have wanted for an awhile.

playing so well? they were average nhl hockey players. they have nothing that pretty much every nhl has on their roster. other teams have much more.

who is the #1 goalie they have?

Brad Shaw does both, yes.

Well Tyson was one of the best rookies this year. Brink and Olle looked good. They had the most or close to the most goals by rookies.

Ersson is a number 1 imo.

Remember how they watched all that unfold and put him in charge of AHL player development?

its different...i still enjoyed it..laughed a lot..its on Prime

 

[Beef Invictus]

There is nothing unfortunate about it Bill. Get his number and stay in touch

 

[trostol]

so does that mean if we found a taker he'd be willing to move

 

[Cody Webster]

I'll have to give it a watch

so does that mean if we found a taker he'd be willing to move

Man, one can certainly hope. I imagine it'll have to be like the Ghost trade all over again, although, this time, we're actually getting rid of a shit player
