"A rookie by the name of Alan Hill." His famous debut game was almost 47 years ago tonight. This game was syndicated on national TV. Scored on his first shot in the NHL.

I didn't see the type of scouts, pro scouts, advance scouts, etc. Could have different duties but let the fun start.
what you weren't told is..they were all Flyers scouts and misunderstood the assignment lol

I'm surprised some people on this forum didn't want to hunt him down and do some damage for wearing that Cates jersey. So many will be very happy the day he goes to another org.
woof.

What I'm really driving at is I wonder who else they are scouting. Based on reports, they want to get TK's deal done, they just re-signed Tippett. We know Walker is likely out the door, but 12 scouts is quite a bit for just him and Seeler alone. Risto didn't play...Frost is on TSN's trade bait list at 20, which is higher than Seeler (22).
A youngish 50 point 2C, putting up great analytical numbers, with an additional year at 2M is probably very attractive for contending teams. I'm just saying.

Torts has reason to be upset, they went up 4-0 and coasted the rest of the way.
But other than costing Ersson a shutout, it's not like the Jets made a serious push to get back into the game. Players are human after all, you beat FLA on the road then go up 4-0, hard to maintain a sense of urgency.
Those "lucky bounces" reflect Branch Rickey's dictum: "luck is the residue of design." They attacked the net and good things happened.
York - Sanheim was the best defensive pair, raises some interesting questions about the pairs after the TDL. Sanheim - Drysdale is not a good pairing. One reason they might be considering keeping Seeler would be to pair him with Drysdale (whose development is far more important than say obtaining a 4th rd pick). Would you want him to be paired with Zamula, Ginning or Andrae?
York - Sanheim
Seeler - Drysdale
Zamula - Risto

AFAICT, most of us don't have a problem with Cates as a player; we have a problem with his usage. If he's the 3LW and a PKer, getting appropriate minutes for that role, he's perfectly fine. It's when he's playing up at 2C and has the second-most TOI among forwards that it starts to become an issue, and that's coaching, not the player.
Hopefully, he'll remain in a role where his offensive ineptitude doesn't overwhelm his defensive prowess; at that point, he's a benefit to the team.

We all know how stupid it would be for them to trade Frost, so we absolutely know that they're going to do it and they'll sell it as part of the "rebuild"

Cates is 11th in ES TOI this season, Brink was 9th when he was up.
Cates is now at 3LW, the lines seem to be set unless there's a trade (and Laughton is the 10th forward).
Last season was a lost cause, Cates and Frost played equal minutes at center to give them experience and evaluate their play. Cates is moving into the Laughton role, which is why there's a good chance Laughton will be traded.
If they decide to keep Poehling at 3C, if they trade Laughton, look for them to pick up a veteran center as a throw in, Laczynski hasn't been able to stay healthy and Desnoyers isn't NHL ready right now.

I also keep forgetting about Laughton. I can't believe any team would want to trade for him right now.

He has a lot of value to a playoff team that has offensive firepower but needs depth in the bottom six and help on the PK. Goodrow was a good comp, basically traded with a 3rd for a late 1st (so more like mid 2nd rd value).

"Coasting" is the Tortshell. The original and ultimate shell. It's very safe. It's great.

Biggest takeaway is Staal is not an NHL player anymore, he was horrific out there.

Is that a strawberry frosted with sprinkles up there?
Have a player that fills a need and long standing void? Trade em away
