Prospect Info: 2018 PHILADELPHIA FLYERS DEVELOPMENT CAMP

[Curufinwe]

Vorobyev seems more likely to make the team than Frost. Even if he's not as talented, he's got that extra two years of development, plus he's physically mature, plus he can be demoted if he struggles.

 

[Hapiii]

Frost and Vorobyev are just toying with the other team lol

Yeah, they actually might have a shot at the starting roster.

This is the Flyers. We don't give promotions or ice time based on production or merit. We live in Hak land. It's similar to hell.

We value veteran status, being heavy, and playing very bland. Players like Chris Vandevelde, Val Filppula, and Andrew MacDonald are repeatedly praised despite all statistical evidence to the contrary.

Jori Lehtera was given PP time despite being ranked dead last in PP efficiency in the last few seasons. Travis Sanheim was not allowed to even sniff PP time until the last game of the season despite the 2nd PP unit being a ****ing MINUS on the season.

Brandon Manning can play an absolutely horrible game. But if he instigates a fight and gets his ass beat when we're losing by 3 goals, Hak will be beaming with pride.

Nothing has to make sense. TK gets pulled off the top line before the Penguins series because Hak wants someone who will score playoff style goals. Genius!

Hak drove Brian Elliott into the ground with an unprecedented workload. Just like he did to Steve Mason 2 years before. Then chose Elliott as playoff starter despite looking like an injured and decrepit old man in net.

We could go on with examples like this all day. Sorry for the rant. Nothing has to make sense. It only has to make sense to Hak.

well said. it's the only blemish on Hextall as far as i'm concerned. i'm happy with everything else going on, just not the coaching.

 

[Jtown]

well that didn't take long.

 

[Lindberg]

well that didn't take long.

Neuvirth jr?

 

[Jtown]

Neuvirth jr?

hopefully not. If myers doesn't pan out that is going to be a big blow for us going forward.

 

[kudymen]

Why didn't the f***er say "the other Dman with just slight chance to make the cut"?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m willing to sacrifice Dave Hakstol to a witch doctor for Myers long term health.

 

[BritainStix]

Myers channeling his inner Salo. Between him and Morin we might get 10 games out of them next year.

i'm still having a good chuckle at how he spent the last month lecturing people that the Flyers didn't need a scoring LW. he kept forcing Laughton into the 3LW spot. well, it's clear Hextall doesn't subscribe to his warped way of thinking. he was wrong, as he is quite often. but you'll never hear him admit it.

 

[Rebels57]

Jay O'Brien is gonna be a massive fan-favorite similar to Richards' early years here. Not only skilled but does everything with an edge.

 

[BritainStix]

Sushko making people look silly. Two snipes!

 

[BritainStix]

Laberge just sniped a hattrick in 30 seconds. What a wrister

 

[gertbfrobe16]

good plays or bad goaltending

 

[BritainStix]

Bit of both. Clarke vs Barber in final. Frost and Vorobyev out

 

[hatcher]

well that didn't take long.

If I'm hexy I wouldn't worry about Myers to much being part of this team. Atleast he was free and not a pick.

 

[Expectations]

Bit of both. Clarke vs Barber in final. Frost and Vorobyev out

Out of the tourney or injured?

 

[Curufinwe]

Frost and Vorobyev were in Team Ashbee.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Charlie said that he was just sitting out due to soreness. Nothing major, but I could be wrong.

 

[CowboyDan]

I asked Charlie about Myers-

 

[FlyTimmo]

Carchidi is a clown

 

[deadhead]

You don't push players in July.
And you don't take performance in development camp too seriously, it's like mini-camps in the NFL, cute but essentially meaningless.

TC will come around in a couple months, then we'll be able to gauge their progress when they play against men.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m not going to post them individually but you can go on this guys twitter account & check out clips from today. He’s got a lot of them.
