Dude cant stay healthy. I give him props for not making excuses. Hopefully he can get whatever procedure done and hit rehab hard. I want to see him flourish in the NHL but things are not trending in that direction.

Yeah, it's kinda sad to see Jamie turn into a pariah over there.

That's kind of odd because if I remember correctly he was actually looking pretty good when he finally came back from injury and was playing for us prior to the trade. Now I do believe it was said that the Flyers play a different D from what we do. (Can't remember what from what.)
In any event, I still hope he gets past all of this and has an very good career.
All fingers crossed he gets healthy over the summer and has a full year with the Flyers where hopefully he can stay healthy for a long time. Dude deserves to play, he still has a lot in him.

LOL! There's a first time for everything.

As much as I agree with you, I just have to laugh. If he played like that while staying here, this place would also be running him out town on a rail.
There were already people here who had given up on him before he left.

When did he hurt his “core” muscle and what else can he injure? I don’t believe in being injury prone but this guy is going to the limit trying to change my mind.

I dunno about that, especially now that he's got a full summer off. Most times, doctors prefer not to do surgery if possible. They re-evaluated it and it improved. Helps to be young. There will always be a concern, but I'm glad it's healing on its own.

Derek Grant and Scott Harrington won the Swiss championship with the ZSC Lions, in seven games against Geoff Ward-coached Lausanne HC.
Grant led the playoffs with 9 goals (including two consecutive hat tricks in the earlier rounds), finished with 9G 4A in 15 games. Harrington saw limited time (he's the Lions' seventh import player, so he only played when another import was hurt), 2A in 6 games, including one on the game seven winner.

Nice to see Grantzlaf having success after his NHL career, even though it isn't all that surprising. You could always tell he wasn't just a grinder / defensive forward, but it was more of a result to him adapting to a role which earned him a spot on the roster. Underrated hockey sense, and I think we would remember him more fondly if he had some better linemates. That bottom six has been a mess for years now.

Geoff Ward is coaching?!
In the manner of Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted, "Whoa!"
He's part of the reason why our PP went sky high in 2021-22! Then he told Verbeek he left for personal reasons. Guess between April and Nov, Ward got his stuff settled and took the job in-season. Kinda reminds me of how Eakins also took a job oversees mid-season. Both guys took their respective teams to the playoffs.

Doesn't surprise me with Grant, he is still an NHL quality player. Good to see him getting success in Switzerland.
Looking at the others, ya probably. Happy to see Freddie seeing success in his post Duck carreer. Also glad it's with CAR. They've always seemed like the East Coast OC.
I'd imagine either goalie who was traded away would be in a better spot with better numbers.

The Laziest Player In The League...
In honor of Mr. Pierre-Luc Dubois himself... Who is the laziest professional hockey player? The guy who may have decent to good skills, hockey IQ, physical attributes and anything else desirable in a player aside from work ethic. The guy who's the equivalent of the production line worker who...
