Confirmed with Link: Flyers sign F Danick Martel (March 10, 2015)
- Thread starter Coffe
- Start date
Yep I thought so also. Jevpalovs and Martel seems to carry the team offensively. Its a pretty big jump between them and the others.
Jevpalovs signed with the Sharks two months ago.

I just watched him play over the weekend and he was the best player on the ice playing against Anthony Duclair and Adam Erne. Great move by Hextall again.
He got called for a penalty for shooting the puck after a whistle and scored on a breakway on Fucale coming out of the penalty box.

5'8 at 20, so there won't be a whole lot more growing going on. Looks like he doesn't mind a scrap either, should fit right in on the Phantoms then.

Cool signing. I don't know anything about him but seeing Gerbe and Ennis play against us it's kinda been growing on me the Flyers should pick up a small & speedy dude.

Love these moves. Low risk, high reward. Not using a draft pick, not trading anyone. The guy is small but if he can play, he can play. I just wouldn't get any hopes up as folks around here are known to do...
Even if he's small, if he can play bigger and has the vision, hands and speed to keep himself from being killed in the big leagues, then even better.

I don't think its really necessary to try and bait people into an argument. Can't we just agree this is a great low risk signing?

Watched his team play the other night, he was flying around pissing the other team off.
Free assest & he should provide depth for the Phantoms next year so really no downsides.

Pretty sure he could already play in the NHL in a limited 4th line role. We could benefit from his speed.

... and from the youtube videos, they both fight bigger guys. Hopefully he doesn't get his eyes crushed in as well!

Why would a player like this play the 4th line role? Because from everything I've seen he's either a 2-way player or bust. So 3rd Liner or higher.
Having said that, I don't think the Flyers would have signed him if they didnt think he had a chance to be an NHL player. If he progresses he could end up being a NHL player for sure, size is not as much of a factor as it used to be.

Nolet isn't the primary scout out of the Q anymore. Todd Hearty is. Nolet might have scouted him but odds are Hearty did the bulk of it.

I hate this team
As others have said...no risk...high reward.
We lack speed thru our whole organization...and that is being addressed. Who knows...maybe we catch lightning in a bottle with him.

With Laughton close to graduating, he could replace him next year in their top 6 and who knows what happens beyond that.

Ah, ok. Either way, the Flyers are money with the Q when most of the rest of the league sucks in that province.

Nicola Riopel

That's pretty damn good, lol. Obviously, this guy still has a long way to go to reach the NHL, but I'll trust the Flyers if they have a good feeling about a guy in that league.
