Who is Frost, York or Zamula playing over day 1? Surely it’s not Thompson and Yandle.

i bet we dont have a single youth opening night..
every old dog they signed will be a roster staple
If they earn it they will play. Coaches want to win and ice the lineup they think will do that.
Frost is a long shot with high potential but I have not seen a NHL caliber player in his limited time. zamula doesn’t look ready but should be later in the year. York might surprise but I’m not sure he is physically ready for regular NHL play.
My best guess is in 2 yrs Frost is setting up Ghost in Davos or some outpost in Siberia. Hope I’m wrong on both

The bolded has been proven false over and over again within this organization alone.

Only to the satisfaction of those with an agenda that overrates certain players.
Like Frost as a rookie. Or NAK. Or Ghost after 2017-18. Or . . .
Farabee has had no problem fighting off veterans, Lindblom was getting top six minutes his second season, Provorov got the most minutes on defense, TK despite 4th line metrics got promoted to the 1st line where he blossomed. And so on.
I wonder if hockey IQ and disciplined play has something to do with who gets PT. Just sayin'

Frost is going to be included in a trade for some washed up old vet. At this point, minus a rash of injuries, I just don't see him as an every day player.

I don’t think Frost, York, Zamula, or Laczynski will start with the big team.
Frost has barely played in a year & is coming off major shoulder surgery. York only has a few professional games under his belt. Zamula didn’t exactly dominate the AHL last season. And Laczynski is coming off hip surgery.
I think they’ll want each of them to get some reps in the minors, & when they start banging down the door, they’ll get the call-up. I do expect Frost force his way into the lineup, & I think they want him to. I just don’t think it will be immediate. He’s going to need to regain his timing & confidence.
Most likely they begin the season with
Giroux-Couturier-Atkinson
Farabee-Hayes-Konecny
JVR-Laughton-Allison
Lindblom-Thompson-NAK
13th man Phantom
And when Frost & Laczynski look ready, they’ll be up. Granted, if they have a great preseason they could make the lineup out of the gate, but that’s probably not the plan.

Don't worry the flyers will find a way to stagnate their progress and make sure to turn them all into good little bottom 6 soldiers.

For a bunch guys that want to win they sure f***ing lose a lot.

Historically this was a place players wanted to play. Gotta get used to the new reality that for a while premium players are going to avoid Philly except for outlandish overpayments.

On offense Farabee and Allison are the two players I'm most excited about right now. Farabee already was our best goal scorer last season and he'll want to show that last year wasn't a fluke and maybe even take another step.
Allison's cameo last season was a real eye opener. Seeing him take the opportunity and showing he can be a real option for the top 9 after watching guys like Vorobyev, Rubtsov, etc. disappoint was refreshing.

It sure was refreshing. One thing I love about both Farabee and Allison is their energy and enthusiasm. That was lacking with this team last season, but the full-time addition of Allison plus the other offseason moves should give this year's club a positive new vibe. I'm looking forward to it.

Like the one Cuck is currently drawing up for Risto, 7x7.5 and he'll be wearing an A because we'll have Kev Dog as the C.

Yeah, remember when Homer and Snider were around and we could grab top talent like Bryz and AMac for bargain prices.

And they do it while making a lot of bad decisions based in dumb biases rather than on merit.

I hate this team
Lindblom was benched for Weise
Sanheim was benched for Manning and Hagg
Konecny was demoted from that 1st line in favor of Raffl to be "heavier"
Stewart played a game
Stop with the BS that players play on merit.

No, I don't find it strange at all. The league has a lot of big names who are UFAs next July.
Browse - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Malkin, Letang, Gaudreau, Forsberg, Barkov, Parayko, Zib, Pulock and Bergeron just to name some of them.

If your argument is players have always thought Philly was a shit hole and we as fans are just realizing that now, I'm all for it.

And that's all fine. Historically that's not the way the Flyers do business and I can't think of one time a key player that the Flyers wanted to keep went into his UFA season without a new contract.

Nope not today.
Fletcher learned from Holmgren when it comes to bidding against yourself in trades or free agency. It’s a Philadelphia tradition
