Confirmed with Link: Flyers sign 24 year old C/RW Mike Vecchione (Union, NCAA) to 1-year ELC

Something that needs to be discussed.....what should his nickname be?

Oh, and also: BAD LINES MATTER

Which is why I like the MV signing.
A 4th line forward with real talent, unlike say Luby or Leier (unless he takes a step up).
If Laughton can take it up a notch after a year in the AHL (and isn't claimed), we could have a solid 4th line.

I want to see Bardreau get a chance too.

Vex (like how Recchi was Rex)

I wonder if this signing allows for us to take a chance on more boom or bust type players in the later rounds. The past few drafts we've selected guys who at best could be solid Bottom Sixers, which is fine but it'd be nice if this year we just went all in on skill, hopefully this pick up gives us more flexibility

Milo Ventimiglia. Same initials, looks exactly like him. Wait, that's not a nickname ...

Got it: Gilmore Boy

Maybe we just call him Milo.

Rory is the girl on the right ...

I wish I didn't know that

I don't think that's true. If anything we've stopped doing the role picks and have gone for more boom/bust players since Hextall took over.

I know it too. But that was from random channel flipping and Scrubs referencing the show.

Some clown on BSH used Gaudreau as comparison and said Vecchi is scoring 55 points next year.

I'd happily settle for a solid bottom sixer here, realistically that's the winning scenario for most college UFA's in recent years. Solid bottom of the lineup players that is.

Isn't all BSH?

BSH is awful. Very low IQ writers over there.

Sons of Penn is the only decent blog site.

Well, Button likes MV.
Obviously he has some offensive skills, good size (short but stout), comes down to how his skills translate to the next level.
I'd be happy with a 4th line center who can forecheck, play defense and give you > 1.0 points per 60 ES minutes.

 

[Striiker]

I don't think anyone at BSH even watches games. They're 100% advanced stats.

Matt Carle is the same as Ryan Suter, after all.

Yes we must await the ruling from the nickname committee before we just start calling him something that has not been approved.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I like Veccy (kinda sounds like Becky, but with a V).
