2019/20 Roster Thread XXIV

Man. I missed some shit in here today.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

My alt account? I just have one other, but I've "forgotten" the password and never listed a real email address

Is your alt called "tugstifier"? Asking for a friend.

That’ll be my third...

It’s whitstifier. This one’s a self-deprecating spin on the last.

I’m kinda amused and confused someone would accuse me of using an alt. I’m desperate, but not that desperate

[David St Hubbins]

When it comes to fascism and fascist tenets, I think we have the most fun ones. Is there oppression and authoritarianism? Sure - you can't have fascism without them. But there has never been more fun had whilst in chains.

 

[landsbergfan]

By the stats goaltending is technically below average still too. There is a lot of reason to believe it is real. I can't see them not being one of the top 3 in the Metro

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

because hes experienced 'real life'.

Holy shit this just reminded me of that epic Morin post.

Lol, it wasn't you.

AV was just interviewed on 97.5 and basically guaranteed that the Flyers make the playoffs.

Expectations: set.

Flyers:
Kid tested. Fans approved.

 

[Starat327]

Holy **** this just reminded me of that epic Morin post.

Only college professors work hard.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Captain Dave? More like “Duce Dave.”

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I'm fine with that. AV has a pretty good record of being right about that when he has a new team, too.

 

[Deadpool8812]

AV was just interviewed on 97.5 and basically guaranteed that the Flyers make the playoffs.

Expectations: set.

99% of coaches say that

 

[David St Hubbins]

99% of coaches say that

Hexy and Hak being tin he 1%.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Interestingly enough, you can still see there are systematic kinks that need to be worked out—they aren’t firing on all cylinders.

if we get that and more consistency out of hart, this team could be a scary out.

And we're still missing Patrick

 

[prototypical4thliner]

And we're still missing Patrick

There’s a lot of reinforcements still to come. We got the first wave with farabee and Myers cementing their place. Laughton replacing twar is the next step. I can’t help but hope patrick comes back but I’m really tempering my expectations for him. Frost, I think has the skill set and the moxie that a young giroux had. He could come in and be a difference maker, injecting an overload of skill to the third line.

 

[BiggE]

We're all mad here.

In both senses of the word.

I’ve never considered myself to be mad and my 3 other personalities are in total agreement with this. Well, except for Nigel that is. Nigel is a fascist wanker.

We need, however, to temper expectations.

The kids that succeed quickly can fool fans into thinking every prospect can succeed quickly.

Sanheim was a 21 year old rookie who struggled, even at 23 he's still inconsistent.
Myers also struggled last spring at 22, seems to have turned a corner this fall, we'll see. He'll be 23 in January.
Provorov was an instant starter at 19, but at 22 still needs to take his game to the next level.
TK struggled as a 19 year old rookie, flashed the second half of his 20 year old season, regressed at 21, may have turned the corner at 22.
Farabee has stepped in as a 19 year old, but makes his share of mistakes and lacks strength for his style of play - by 22???

Frost is 20 in the AHL, if he comes up in January he'll still be a 20 year old rookie.
Brink is 18 in college, so is York, if they go pro at 20 a half season in the AHL won't be the worst thing.
Zamula will be 20 in the AHL next year, depending how fast he puts on strength, he may spend a year or two in the AHL.

And so on. These and other players (Hogberg, Kalynuk, Lycksell, Cates, etc) will be staggered over the next 2-4 years.
There's no reason to rush them as we build up depth, letting the players in front of them establish themselves as NHL players will improve their trade value while giving the prospects behind them time to be NHL ready instead of having to learn on the job.

Don’t kill my buzz man.

seriously, they will objectively be improvements on the junk we’ve had. Couple that with improvement of our more seasoned young guys, we are looking good immediately and in the future.

AV studying advanced metrics, studies suggest around 3 minutes is the optimal time.
