They went out and got Thompson on the first day of free agency. He will be in the lineup.

correct. The Frost fans will be up in arms. Maybe they learned a lesson watching Patrick last season.

Wonder if Frost will have more career points than Chris Stewart when all is said and done.

Twayrnski got more of a chance than a prospect of his limited ability could expect.
Rubtsov played in the KHL last season. It's the Flyers fault he was average at best there, like he's been everywhere since he was drafted?

My post was sarcasm. Some just don’t want to accept that not all drafted players are nhl caliber

Everyone accepts that not all drafted players are NHL caliber.

It makes perfect sense to start Frost in the AHL & allow him to gain confidence without being thrust into an important NHL role.
We saw how Sanheim wasn’t ready his rookie year & had to be sent down mid-season to find his game. Don’t want the same to happen with Frost.
Better he starts in the minors & when he’s ready he’ll show it.

Prove it. Let's see the posts where people say all our drafted players are NHL caliber.

Big yawn. Where did I say it is limited to this board? I didn’t. Prove it lol
do you think hogberg is a legit prospect? Or more marginal.

I think nothing of Hogberg at all.
Were you expecting me to say he should be in the NHL?

I could be mis-remembering this so please correct me if I'm wrong, but Sanheim get sent down after ~3-weeks of riding the pine after Hexy realized Hak's refusal to play him?
This is true.
And in the 17 AHL games that ensued, his development was so great, he went from "not nhl ready" to "top 4 defenseman" to "ready to play top-pair on his offisde".
The AHL is a like a hyperbaric chamber for development, it seems.

I specifically recall how he was the exact same after as he was before.

im reminded of Ghosts comments after being send down for "conditioning", when really it was just a coachs repeated benching..
what did you learn down there?..
"nothing, there is nothing for me to learn there"..
but im sure Ghost prolly just doesnt know anything since hes obviously not a actual NHL player..
