Carson Twarynski appreciation thread

[He Is Knocking]

You all are too much!

 

[deadhead]

I'd like to see him have a 20 goal season just to see all the posts slamming Fletcher for allowing a prospect to leave.

Twarynski is young enough to still have a NHL career, got brought up too soon due to injuries, asked to play the wrong side as a rookie, what could go wrong? Probably could use a full AHL season to work on his offensive skills, he's not a bad skater, he likes to hit, but has to rediscover that CHL scoring touch to have a NHL future.

 

[Stizzle]

He was anointed the nickname "Mr. September" on this board. Never has a more fitting nickname existed.

 

[Striiker]

The most shocking thing to me is that he isn't already an established scorer.

He had that great preseason and, as we all know, preseason/camp is a perfect sample to evaluate players and make decisions.

I mean, how often do guys do well in preseason and then NOT become stars? Gotta be super rare, right? Like 1 in 1,000,000?

Crazy stuff.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Come so far my son.

 

[mja]

Dammit! I literally just got my Twar jersey delivered last week. This always happens to me. I might have to become a Kraken fan now. Did they hire a coach yet?

I think there’d be reactions of disbelief at that sort of breakout. Can’t really fault Fletcher for not predicting the extremely unlikely.

The outrage will be about the details of the side deal prompting Twarynski’s selection

That season will probably be two years from now.

Happy trails, Corsi Cantwinski.

Playing for Seattle may be equivalent to the AHL.

If Seattle didn't want to take on money, Twarynski or Bunnaman were the best choices.
With Braun, you're gambling he'll play well enough to garner something at the TDL.
With Hagg, if he plays well, you have to negotiate a RFA deal next year probably north of $2M, if he doesn't play well, wasted pick.

What scoring touch? The one where he finally bested 20 goals as an overager on a stacked team? Guy was allergic to offense as a pro, sans a few preseason goals of course. Let him go!

So... you take the AHL player over Braun or Hagg? I mean that's not a ringing endorsement. Hagg or Braun could have trade value, I don't foresee a guy washing out in a few years as having any.

Seattle took 30 players and may end up with more with post-ED deals.
So a contract that is easily buried in the AHL has additional value in terms of roster flexibility.
That may well be their plan, bury him in the AHL so you have some organizational depth, but no cost to the cap. At worst he's a body, at best you get lucky and he surprises.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

I can't believe the Flyers most appreciative fan hasn't made an apperance. Nobody appreciates an appreciation thread like that dude.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

The flyers can basically pull a predators “thanks for the memories Nolan” for Tar-imnottryingtobutcherhisnameski

FTFY

 

[NateThompson44]

One day he'll be the next VandeVelde, you'll all see!

And you wont be laughing then when Philly signs him as a free agent to a 5y 3m contract in a few years and hes playing middle 6 minutes

*Runs crying and screaming out of room*

Haha I am imagining it took you this long to post about it because you had to go through the "forgot my password" process

[Fire Tortorella]

I would have loved to have seen Twar's reaction to finding out he was selected.

"They picked me?!?"

 

[Flyer lurker]

Where were you when Carson scored his 1 lifetime goal? And where were you when he was picked? And were you still awake watching that travesty?

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I believe at the 2020 Flyers Wives Carinval he bumped into me and did not say sorry (it may have been Connor Bunnaman my recollection is a bit fuzzy). I will never forgive him for that. Happy trails, Connor.

Found his full career highlights. I think that goal in there somewhere.

 

[Newest sens fan]

 

[BiggE]

I remember like it was yesterday that time he skated diligently up and down his wing and then returned to the bench and farted.

Fare thee well, sweet prince, fare thee well.

 

[Larry44]

Can't even spell his name correctly.

No respect.

It says everything that his name is misspelled in his tribute thread! Carson, we hardly knew you, and that doesn't bother us!
