Confirmed Trade: [DET/PHI] Petr Mrazek (50% retained) for 2018 cndl 4th round pick and 2019 cndl 3rd round pick

[MSSLYNX]

Mrazek's inconsistency is consistent. He'll have a stretch of greatness followed by a stretch of lousiness. Until he proves otherwise that's his MO.

Looks like it indeed.

Holland is awful

Mrazek has not been good but neither has Howard so tie goes to the more expensive veteran.

That's how you rebuild in 1996

Mrazeks contract was easier to move and he wasn't coming back next year. How hard is that for people to grasp?

lol the way he is playing it looks like it's going to be the 4th round pick sorry Detroit!

Our defense has been trash but he's really not impressed me. Hakstol's continued inability to properly rotate two goalies isn't helping him either.

 

[ellusive]

Detroit is just happy to get anything for mrazek

 

[Jray42]

I hope he isn't re-signed.

Death, taxes and the flyers never having a reliable elite goalie... these are 3 things that never change. Maybe things can change with Carter Hart but who knows.

Thanks for being the 8 millionth customer of that exact post.

 

[Big Ed]

18 Goals allowed in his last 4 games, ouch.

What's crazy is that he did not play bad.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

What happened to him becoming the face of a franchise as the #1?

DRW fans said it over and over again, noe the honeymoon phase is over.

No problem we would have taken 3 magic beans for this bum. A 4th rounder will do fine.

Wait - youre not insinuating that any rational flyers fan said that he was the face of a franchise, are you?

Literally no one thought they were getting an elite goalie when we made the trade. Not sure what that changes, but cute post!

Well they're definitely not rational but I've seen it, not just on here either. It may have very well not been Flyer fans but I've seen it.

I feel sorry for you and the rest of the sensible ones, TBH.

Nothing to feel sorry for. We took a chance on a goalie to reward the team for doing well for a stretch instead of saying "thanks for the effort guys, but were going to have you use an AHL goalie as a started and hope you make the playoffs". The equivalent would have been McPhee trading Neal and other UFAs at the deadline.

It cost us a 4th, maybe a 3rd round pick, for the chance for a lot of our young kids to get a taste of the playoffs. This year should be a devlopmental year for us - we dont have a contender of a team - and certainly not a contender of a coach.

Future looks bright, and i'd wager that a lot of teams would love to have our young kids and prospect pool. Your sympathy is appreciated, but hardly necessary.

Lol I never mentioned anything about the trade. Just making a statement about the flyers never having an elite goalie.

Seems odd to comment on it in a thread where No one claimed to have an elite goalie. But hey, some people just can't help themselves I suppose.

Mrazek is done as a potential starter after this failed stint in Philly.

 

[backburner]

his skill was elite level first few games with flyers. Then he fell back to earth just like the rest of the team....

He is not much of a backup either quite frankly.

This teams top line and top pair can make anything look good for a while. The problem comes when they don't dominate the game. There's No one there to step up and shoulder any weight, so if g-coots-konecny-ghost-provo aren't significantly out playing their matchup, it's a wrap.

 

[Oddbob]

From what I have seen, he is the same frustrating Petr Mrazek we have seen for a year and a half, in Detroit. One night he is dynamite with a 37 save shutout, and the next game he is sliding all over the crease like a crazy man, letting in 3-4 stinkers on 25 shots.

Why did Detroit fans think he was the face of their franchise? Cause we sure as hell didn't. Unless you meant face of the franchise after Giroux/Provorov/Voracek/Konecny/Simmonds/Gostisbehere/Couturier/Patrick/Lindblom/Sanheim/Hart/Frost/Sandstrom/Elliot/fill in the blank .
