Gold Fever
As expected, the talk of him wanting to go the full 4 years before signing was just rhetoric.
They've got four games left.Will he play with Bakersfield? Or their season is done?
Looks like he had a really good season, excited to see how he performs in rookie and main camps
Makes perfect sense, with the need the team has for "pro-ready" prospects. He can take a spot occupied Chrisoffer or Laleggiatrading a 3rd for a guy who could be ready in 2 years is something I have no problem with. The player we take in this draft would by like Juhair K and not ready till 2021 or 2022

Talent in Bakersfield? You mean our next set of NHL wingers next yearGreat news.
Might actually have some talent in Bako next season.

Most of the comments I saw came from flyers fans and discussion that took place before the trade. So we can not be sure how much the trade factored into his decision. We do know the Flyers fans were saying he was looking at their depth and did not like being that far down the list

Benson - Currie - Yamamoto
Marody - Platzer - Vesel
Gambardella - Hebig - Russell
Could be a pretty damn decent top 9 next year.
Weird how they have personal access to him and his thoughts on potentially signing.
I'd be shocked if any of Benson, Yamamoto, Hebig or Marody spend any time in the ECHL. They're all decent to high end prospects. I do agree that the way the OP has the lines setup is a recipe for disaster though, gotta have more vets mixed in. Brad Malone is still signed next year and likely slots into the top 6 somewhere, and it wouldn't surprise me if they keep Laleggia around for another year. I feel like Platzer might be done though.That would be an Awful top 9 in Bako. Zero experience there almost, need to sorround those young guys coming in there with experienced AHL depth. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if more then 2-3 of the new guys you listed start in the ECHL, junior scoring doesn’t always translate to pro right away...

u do know that the AHL isn't a league where we should care about wins right ?
Let the rookies play down there, we need anymore Ahl vets taking top 6 spots
so stay the course and play Ahl vets ???Being competitive is important for development.
There’s a balance between winning and developing, being in a winning environment is good for developmentu do know that the AHL isn't a league where we should care about wins right ?

Nice. Bako could actually be a fairly exciting team to watch next year.
Definitely not all the guys in the mix down there but there’s plenty of help coming.
Benson-Hebig-Yamamoto
LaLeggia-Marody-Currie
Gambardella-Malone-Russell
Polei-Larkin-Gust
Few vets like Callahan still in the mix but a lot of the fat will get trimmed in the offseason.
Jones-Bear
Lagesson-Mantha
Lowe-Gryba
some combination of Brossoit/Ellis/Wells/Starret
Eh...
I bet the AHL team next year struggles to score as much as the team did this year.
Washed up vet vs mediocre prospects. There isn't much of a difference there.But 3/4ths of the team won’t be washed up vets. Baby steps.
