Confirmed with Link: Flyers Sign Philippe Myers, D to ELC (9/21/15)

[Tripod]

If MacDonald was swapped with Myers, I'd want him to play for the Phantoms. He wouldn't be blocking anyone good down there - just James De Haas.

Agreed.....until we trade Folin.

 

[Curufinwe]

Myers played his 101st AHL game yesterday. He has 52 points in those games. He turns 22 in eleven days.

But he's still not good enough to play for the NHL's worst team ahead of Christian Folin or Andrew MacDonald according to Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher. Not even good enough to be added to the roster when MacDonald was put on IR.

He'll be up before the end of the season.

Watch Folin and AMac get hurt and so they bring up Willcox and then immediately put him on the PK. Or they'll bring up Brennan and put him on the 2nd PP over Provy and Sanheim.

Morin should be ready at the start of March. Is Fletcher going to put both of them in the top 6?

 

[deadhead]

Why not? By that point I expect at least one defenseman to have been traded.

Folin is more important, I'm sure. I'm legit waiting for Morin to not play at all this year, mainly because since his ELC is dead, they'll just have him in the press box for the rest of the year so they can give 15 to 20 minutes a night to AMac and Folin.

Morin, I believe signed a 3 year contract at 700K a year after his ELC ended. Expansion bait unfortunately.

If Morin is healthy and they refuse to play him, f*** this club.

 

[Rebels57]

Every game he is not in the lineup is a missed opportunity to get him as ready as possible for next year. If we can get him in to the last 35+ games, then next year we are only implementing 1 rookie in the lineup (Morin) instead of 2.

 

[Curufinwe]

If Morin is taken by Seattle ahead of guys like JVR, Lindblom and maybe Voracek I'd be really happy for him because it would mean he would have bounced back incredibly well from his injury.

 

[deadhead]

I'm happy Fletcher is taking his time, it would be far worse if he just showed up, without watching the players and prospects, and started making changes willy nilly. There's going to be plenty of time after the allstar break to make trades, promote prospects, and get to see some junior/college players in Philly or hopefully the Calder Cup playoffs.

Morin, Myers, Friedman, NAK, Vorobyev are likely to be Flyers come March.

 

[Striiker]

So call him up you idiot, Fletcher

Friedman won't. Not enough spots.

 

[deadhead]

There will be blood (trades).

 

[Tripod]

There will be blood (trades).

Not enough.

We have 7 guys now....and are adding Morin for sure and Myers as well.

-Hagg
-MacDonald

Problem solved.

I'm available to be hired as a GM. Edmonton, call me.

If Myers plays his first NHL game on Saturday, I think he should immediately replace Sanheim on the top pairing. His very significant advantages in height, weight and Junior hockey plus/minus, will allow him to play a two-way game that the skinny & soft Sanheim struggles with.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Wonder if they let him PK? If they scratch Ghost for some reason, the two biggest players on the team could be sitting on the bench during PKs.

Luckily Myers isn't a little p****-ass nerd.

Well, being a RHD and the one player who might match Provorov in the stamina department (playing 60 minutes in a game is downright crazy), he's a perfect fit in the long run. That allows you to have Sanheim - RHD and Ghost - Gudas as your other two pairs.

But it's probably a little early in his career to ask him to play 20+ minutes against top competition.

How heavy is he?

 

[deadhead]

Probably 6'5 220 or so, I think Morin is 6'7 230. Put those two together and they can cover the space between the faceoff circles and force everything outside. And breathe on people and move them out of the crease.

Sanheim is 6'4 205 or so and it shows, he's playing more physical this year, but still gets pushed around along the boards and in front of the net, when you're that tall, you need mass because most players have leverage on you. That's going to be an issue for Zamula.
