Of all things Niskanen has brought you go to skating? Gudas would roast Niskanen in a foot race.
Gudas couldn’t even beat my grandmother in a foot race but alright.

Clueless.Gudas couldn’t even beat my grandmother in a foot race but alright.
Clueless.
What line did he play on for you fellas.It's funny when you enter a thread and read fancy stat folks talk about how Grant is the Ducks worst player, lol.
He's been one of the Ducks best forwards all year. Common misconception is that he's some grinder/plug, when he's more of a 2-way forward and doesn't actualy hit all that much anymore. He's good on the penalty kill, where he breaks up plays and even scores goals. Basically he does everything well. Makes good passes with the puck, rarely turns it over, his hands aren't terrible and he even displays some hand-eye in front of the opposing goalie. I disagree with other Ducks fans that he's a fast skater, but he gets around it with good smarts.
Every Ducks fan wanted him re-signed. But this summer is gonna be his big chance of cashing in some in free agency.
I cannot remember a Flyer with more weird opinions on him than Gudas and I don't even mean quality of play. It's a completely different animal than not liking Carter for reasons, loving Danny Markov like a son, anything else like that. It's reality distortion territory. There are probably people out there who would swear he's never had a beard.
What "point" did I miss exactly? A lazy, untrue narrative?LOL the dude who completely didn’t get my point of my original post but focused on something different is calling ME clueless.
What’s funny is we traded away somebody who was big and slow (Gudas) for someone who was more mobile and people still complained at the time too.

10000% yes.I cannot remember a Flyer with more weird opinions on him than Gudas and I don't even mean quality of play.

Already go to the bed, Fletcher!
Afwul, no need moves... My god.
Depth is an improvement. We've tried multiple players. Vorobyev, Rubtsov, Twarynski, Kase, Andreoff, and so on. None of them belong in a playoff series. You don't want to rely on them in case of an injury.its like he made a trade, just to say hey I made a trade at the deadline,
even if it doesn't do anything to improve our team.
I'd be shocked if he sticks his finger up in the air, can he guess which way the wind is blowing.
Yes, Grant with 4 PO games. Great experiences for playoffs.Depth is an improvement. We've tried multiple players. Vorobyev, Rubtsov, Twarynski, Kase, Andreoff, and so on. None of them belong in a playoff series. You don't want to rely on them in case of an injury.
At least Thompson and Grant have the experience.

These people always be defending players like Weise, Gordon, Varone, VandeVelde, Grant, Thompson. ALWAYS.
And always same result. They are bad and they will be bad. And we have better player in organization. As always.
Do you remember when Lehtera was in instead Oskar because of experiences? Weise in 2nd insteak TK? And a lot of examples in last decade.
But not.
ALWAYS DEFENDE these 4th liners because of GRIIIT and experiences!
I never called Gudas a great skater. You called him slow.The point was people don’t want to let a trade progress before they start crying about how bad it is. But please continue.
If you think Gudas is such a great skater go ahead and keep thinking that. Just do me a favor and watch a replay of game 6 versus Pittsburgh from 2018. You can see how “lazy and untrue” it is.

It's hard to take your "point" seriously when you take Niskanen's real legitimate weakness, foot speed, overexaggerate Gudas skating, who you could probably count on one hand how many times he lost a foot race, and compare the two. It makes you look as if you have no idea why that trade has worked out for the Flyers so far.
Niskanen is a great example of the lasting power of puck skills and hockey sense after physical tools are on the decline. He’d be close to cooked at this stage of his career if the former were average. But they’re not, and he’s a big contributor this season. But it isn’t with his skating.
