They never get used in the NHL. But Chuck will have no chance to accept whatever they want from him!

How difficult is it to set a human being on fire?

Not that hard. The problem is keeping them on fire. Especially if you’re trying to get rid of a body. People underestimate how much fuel and heat you need to really get rid of everything. Then you end up with a body that looks like Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru from A New Hope and that doesn’t help anybody.

That Chuck Fletcher is a never-sleep kind of guy. Two days after the TDL excitement of turning a house into a red paper clip, he goes right back to work in securing potential middle-of-the-lineup Phantoms bodies. "Build from the bottom up," they always say.

Alternatively, "Build-up from the Bottom."

 

[IronMarshal]

good thing he opened up those extra contract slots, to allow him to do this.

He is UFA at the end of the season.

The funny thing is the Iowa Wild (Minnesota's AHL team) have been probably one of the worst AHL teams since they moved there from Houston in 2013. I think they've made the playoffs once.

Players like Mayhew are great at the AHL level (despite his lack of NHL talent) but Fletcher-era Minnesota in general is not exactly a farm system to be replicated.

You ever stumble across one of those police interrogation analyzation channels on YouTube and then two days later realize you’ve watched every video they have?

Oh. Me neither.

Next time, take notes.

 

[Hanover Fist]

we had one in Ghost. But oh wait. Yandle is better, right?

And cheaper

I wonder if the future consideration involves Cuck and a Toronto men’s room?

I am wondering with this signing whether this means Hogberg is out longer term .

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

At least he didn't trade Martin Jones. That would have been terrible if we had to have a different backup goalie down the stretch in the NHL because there might be an injury to one of our AHL goalies and we might have to play someone who isn't good. Would really be a shame if our last place NHL team and last place AHL had to use a goalie who was unable to steal a game for us down the stretch. Definitely more important than getting something in return for Martin Jones.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Wasn’t it reported that they turned down a 5th round pick for Jones?

Sandstrom is only 25. You need to be at least 30 to be a Flyers backup. It's been that way since Bobrovsky left 10 years ago. They would have traded Jones if there was another 30+ backup to replace him for the rest of the season. What's Mike McKenna up to? Rob Zepp?

Much earlier in the season when the AHL goaltending group was on IR, and they had to bring in Nagle to play goal.

What's with that weird video from Weekes? What the heck is he doing?

Neuvirth was 27 when Hextall signed him to the backup in 2015.

I am ready to report for duty. Long term 35+ contract incoming!

He was injured/sick so often I forgot he existed

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Almost single-handedly won us a playoff series though.

 

[BernieParent]

Neuvirth was 27 when Hextall signed him to the backup in 2015.

But his health age was 74.

Future considerations? Did Fletcher ever consider the future?
