Confirmed with Link: Flyers Trade Jakub Voracek To Columbus For Cam Atkinson

[Striiker]

Hey, I admire your love and passion for Ghost lol. If couples loved their significant other as much as you like Ghost, the world would be a better place.

I “love” and defend every player who helps the team win when they’re being unfairly criticized. It just so happened that he was also the most misused and underrated on the team, so I ended up defending him more than others.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Here's hoping Ghost is flipped at the trade deadline to a playoff contender as well.
If Provy was used for PK and his 5 on 5 minutes not on the PP at all he would have been more effective.
This is where Ghost should have been used and his regular 5 on 5 minutes. Both would have been used properly and maybe Provy would have had a better year.
This season he needs to be removed from the PP because more often than not he fumbles the puck at the blueline.

Provy is likely the Flyers second best PP option on defence after Sanheim now. And They barely played Sanheim on the PP before. Possibly York but I doubt this coaching group would think about putting a rookie on PP1 for more then a second.

Provy is this teams PP1 QB for the upcoming season. And probably will be until the entire coaching staff turns over.

Also, you still haven’t answered. Ghost, Sanheim, Provy. 2 stay 1 goes. And Ghost can’t multiply.

You're setting up a false dilemma though. One of those three doesn't have to go. By arbitrarily reducing the number of options, you are rhetorically angling for specific choices which can then be thrown in the respondent's face. He's right not to answer, because the question itself is dishonest.

Therrien is going to use Ristolainen, isnt he…

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ristolainen was Buffalo's net-front guy last year. I wonder if the coaching staff did their homework on that one or if they'll just throw him on the point.

He'll be in Voracek's spot.

Jake wanted out last year.

Jake wanted out last year.

Put Risto or Ellis on top and Konecny on the right wing and JVR where Allison is.

 

[Rebels57]

Buffalo's PP was pretty good last year.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Buffalo's PP was pretty good last year.

they sure padded their PP numbers in the games against the Flyers last season

 

[Embiid]

It took him 17 hours to think of this.

He probably marinated in his own self pity until he could muster enough courage to respond.

 

[landsbergfan]

Haven't watched but looks like it will be fun

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

So Atkinson had three goals in his last 25 games last year. I seem to remember Weise and Hartman coming of similar seasons when we acquired them.
Meanwhile watch Jake either feed Laine and help the team to either sign him long term or inflate his value for following trade. I have no idea who is even gonna play center on their team though. Freaking Domi?

 

[captainpaxil]

I'm really disappointed Jake didn't flame the organization on the way out. At the very least he'll be put with a scorer on the jackets and while he may not make the difference as the salaries dictate in a flat cap world I expect him to overshadow atk performance this year and going forward

No one is gonna argue this. Thats why one makes 8.25 and the other makes 5.8.

Flyers clearly wanted to changed the culture in the room. Voracek has been my favorite player for 10 years but just listen to interviews with him or other players that played with him while here. Most wonder how he can be a pro athlete with his lifestyle. Its almost always laughing about his diet and boozing, that shit rubs off on young players, being the highest paid player on the team, the kids look up to him no matter what...

It was time for a change and Jake was saying so himself.

Weise and Hartman ever score 40 goals in a season?

One problem for Atkinson was revolving centers the last two seasons:
Roslovic (437), Jenner (240), Texier (237), Domi (186), Wennberg (163).
Not exactly like playing with Couts, Hayes is a tier above Roslovic and the rest would struggle to win a 3C job elsewhere.

Yeah, Jake strikes me as a good dude and one you would like to be teammates with. He’s a complimentary piece, however. A team full of Jakes would not go too far.

 

[deadhead]

Jake would be a good fit for a veteran team going for one last shot at the brass ring, which is why I expect CBJ to flip him with salary retained. He's not a bad guy, but he's a bad role model for young players. On a veteran team where he's just expected to contribute, he'd be a clubhouse favorite and a lot of fun.

 

[Starat327]

Yo, if someone could cut me in on their locker room hidden camera feed, id really appreciate it. Id love to hear why these dudes are so bad.

 

[Appleyard]

Thought this was... well... just weird.

I just had the image of Ovechkin-Backstrom-Voracek in my head for a sec, and I'm actually a little bit queasy now. Here's hoping CBJ sends him further west.

Grabner is close at +15, 22 G and 7 A.

 

[deadhead]

Fast guys who can shoot, why would they pass on a SH breakaway?

Probably b/c if you have two strides on your teammate, trying to pass is how you blow a SH opportunity since it gives defenders time to get back (if you wait for your teammate to catch up).
