2019/20 Roster Thread XX

[orangecrush8]

Nothing matters.

Also, we're not allowed to complain because two rookies made the roster.

That Hatcher correctly predicted.

All hail Hatcher.

 

[Striiker]

Honestly.... I'm not even mad. I'm laughing in disbelief.

I might be in shock.

I had doubts about both AV and Fletcher but I never expected this. This is so so so so so much worse than what I thought.

 

[SuchySays]

My excitement for this team and season was sky high about a month ago. Today it's at 0.

 

[Curufinwe]

They cannot afford to sign him even if they wanted to...

they have $283,811 cap space with only 20 healthy players.

Yup. But I thought they might demote Twarynski instead of Farabee.

Once Welinski is well enough to go down it'll make things a bit easier.

 

[tictactoe]

Farabee was never making it. Didn't do much and has alot to learn.

he had some bad luck too... Hit some posts missed some chances. Players like JVR, I do not mind him starting in AHL.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Lollllllllzzzzzzz

7D and Farabee is the odd forward out?

Nice start, AV.

Probably still deferring to Fletch because 20 days isn't enough time to evaluate and put together an opening night roster.

 

[Curufinwe]

Anyone notice the only player on the healthy roster who doesn't have a hyperlink?

[Beef Invictus]

I think You & others DRASTICALLY overexaggerate Hagg as a guy who allegedly loses games “singlehandedly.”

I think you've failed at evaluating Hagg. He is one of the worst dmen in the NHL. He does nothing well, and a ton of things poorly. Teams generate chances with impunity when he is on the ice and he inhibits offense like no other player on the roster. They are practically a man down when he is out there.

 

[StarterHart]

Repost so people can see.

Well, no Stewart at least.

 

[blinds]

Anybody still want to disagree with calling AV or Fletcher idiots or incompetent?

100%. That's still stupidly reactionary. The Farabee move is ridiculous but Myers was expected. Guy had a spot to lose at beginning of camp and he played poorly enough to lose it. Both Morin and Hagg on the roster is interesting, it shows they don't have much confidence in Hagg.

I am not convinced it isn't an LTIR game, but haven't had the time to investigate. If not, then LOL

 

[Starat327]

@Striiker we need the clown meme again

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Please tell me I'm not the only one laughing at the idea that the Flyers, who entered the offseason with the GDP of a small nation in cap space and a deluge of possible promotions, have officially been more hamstrung by cap space than the Leafs to start the year.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

He's making sure these young guys arent wrecked by floaty vets.

THATS what you’re going with???

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Farabee made the roster. He’s not in the lineup because they are number crunched and are attached to Hagg and don’t want to lose Morin to waivers. Pretty awful mismanagement of the situation

Could have been Bunny or Twar, too, though.

 

[Striiker]

@Striiker we need the clown meme again

 

[BringBackHakstol]

There’s really no defense of this. Things should never have been this tight and with Fletcher needing 2 vet D and zero injuries on the blue line, there’s no excuse for Hagg in this lineup

 

[Curufinwe]

100%. That's still stupidly reactionary. The Farabee move is ridiculous but Myers was expected. Guy had a spot to lose at beginning of camp and he played poorly enough to lose it. Both Morin and Hagg on the roster is interesting, it shows they don't have much confidence in Hagg.

If they really had no confidence in Hagg they would have waived him.

 

[Starat327]

Lol, this is perfect.

 

[Striiker]

@Striiker we need the clown meme again

 

[blinds]

So what's that mean? Pitlick as the 12th forward?

 

[Jtown]

I think You & others DRASTICALLY overexaggerate Hagg as a guy who allegedly loses games “singlehandedly.”

of course not. But that is the highest compliment one can pay him. He is a very bad player. I held out hope , but my god , some of his puck decisions are just inexcusable. He is the king of unforced turnovers. Teams thrive off of that against us.

 

[bauer]

 

[Appleyard]

Could have been Bunny or Twar, too, though.

Could not have sent down Bunnaman I guess as Pitlick is a wing and they only have 3 C's. (though pssst, Bunnaman has not played that much C actually at a pro level.)
