2019-20 Roster Thread XVIII

[skyo]

Kind of funny with Stewart going but not signed.

You have to figure they give him some kind of compensation. A meal voucher at least.

lol hey at least it's a free trip to Prague & Swiss, all inclusive, playing hockey.

 

[Jtown]

This team has personality?

G should be at wing. 3C should be Frost.

All this should be very simple for a competent staff.

Frost nursing a groin injury muddies things whether he's on IR or not.

If he's sore now, it might be better for him to go to the AHL to get back up to speed.

No sense rushing him.

Unfortunately these Patrick and Frost knocks have turned a forward group that looked great into the same issue we have seen the last few years: lacking a competent top 9 centre.

Laughton can work in a pinch, but I am not forcing Frost in there is he has even the slightest injury concern to kick the year off.

It'd be much easier to believe that this was the logic behind sending him down if they weren't making stupid decisions with the rest of the roster.

[Tripod]

With Frost nursing a groin issue, I have no issue with him being demoted and staying back to rehab instead of travelling across the world where he "might" play 1 game.

He has almost 2 weeks to get ready for game 2 of the season in case they want to recall him. Get healthy because at some point, we WILL need him this year.

Side note: players get signed for 1 day and then retire. Could we technically sign Stewart for 1 day contract if someone got hurt in Europe and we wanted him for that 1 game only? Doesn't seem likely.

 

[Everlong]

Frost is better off staying in Philly to rehab.

 

[Striiker]

AV can go f*** himself

Morgan Frost is “day-to-day” with a tweaked groin, but Vigneault said the Flyers have already decided Frost won’t go to Europe and will start the season in the American Hockey League.

“He was right there. He was in the mix,” Vigneault said. “He was battling hard. He was playing well. Unfortunately he didn’t get on the scoresheet with the number of opportunities that he had whereas some of the other kids have been able to do it. Right now we’ve got tough decisions to make and that’s what we’re doing.”
So what does that leave the Flyers with in depth at center, which just became a whole lot more shallow?

For one, Scott Laughton has “sort of got that role locked down” at third line center.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Laughton at 3c isn’t wonderful. My only hope is that we are line matching top six against top six and our third and forth lines can go to work against other bottom sixers.

I think frost, getting healthy and playing in the ahl, will get the call pretty quickly.

Probably best just to consider Patrick lost for the time being, best for him too.

 

[Magua]

AV can go **** himself

That sure is a fascinating understanding of sample size and %s.

 

[Striiker]

If I were coach we wouldn’t have this problem.

smh my head

On a serious note, Farabee hasn’t scored either, so this is just a bullshit excuse he pulled out of his ass. Neither has 3C Laughton.

So not only would it be an idiotic excuse if true, it’s also a lie.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Maybe we should stop appealing to authority for these guys & realize they’re quite capable of using mind bogglingly stupid logic when deciding things.

 

[FLYguy3911]

The least surprising hockey coach quote.

Bunnaman literally scored off of a pass that turned into an own goal.

 

[Tripod]

 

[Striiker]

Frost was just as good as Farabee but ok

 

[bauer]

oh thank god. as much as i dislike Laughton as 3C, if he's flanked by Farabee and Lindblom it will definitely take the sting off a bit.

let Frost heal up and when he's ready, send Laughts back to 4C.

 

[TheKingPin]

Of course we all want the best F and D group. And we all know Hart is good. But the season could be a big success if Hart plays like he could the entire year. Imagine only giving up 2 GA each game.

Stolarz was waived. Maybe get him over Elliot at this point.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

It's a total joke our bottom 6 is going to be trash yet again. This is really an outrage.

Twar and bunny making this team is mailing it in.

Expecting hart to do this is asking for a huge dissapointment

 

[deadhead]

Well, it seems the people who whine the most know the least.

Frost could use some AHL time, he's exciting, but like Myers, somewhat erratic.
Farabee isn't as flashy as Frost, but more consistent.

Bunnaman is the real surprise of camp, watching him in the AHL last year, he was a plugger with some goal scoring skills, this fall he looks much faster, which makes his upside middle six instead of 4th line.

Twarynski earned his spot, he picked up where he left off last TC, he's faster and I think he now understands you can't turn it on for 4-5 preseason games and then coast, you have to bring it every night if you're not named Voracek.

Frost, Rubtsov, are on the shuttle passenger list, NAK, Kase, et al have to earn their ticket.

Pretty comical considering how drastically incorrect you are routinely.

 

[baudib1]

We haven't won a playoff series since 2012 and you wonder why people are upset? Giroux and Couts have basically wasted their entire careers here because this organization can't get over "need snot and balls" stuff. We've had the best prospect group in the game for years and we're still going through this stuff. It's embarrassing.

We gave Varone and Knight a combined 70 games to prove they couldn't play, and Hagg has gotten 153 to prove he's one of the worst defensemen in the league. You can go back to Sanheim being benched for Manning, Lindblom being demoted for Weise, or another dozen questionable decisions made over the years.

Chris Stewart can't play. It's unfathomable to think that anyone can watch him and think he should be anywhere near an NHL roster.

 

[Magua]

I do feel like it’s important to note that the evaluation to send Frost down felt just as much about Fletcher viewing Laughton as a 3C, based on his comments tonight about not wanting Frost to play 4C. There does feel like there’s a third door, but I’m just an Internet doofus. Something something 30 ES points.
