Yep. He falls into the category of lovable bottom lineup guys we’ve had over the years. And maybe it’s recency bias, or maybe cos he was here doing it so long, but i might put him at the top of that list.

was one of the better 4th line players we have had here for a while. Time now for lazcynski to play full time and show us what he can do!

As a fellow Austrian sad to see my homeboy go.

Though it probably was a good time to move on.

500+ games for the Flyers, and played his role well. Not too bad a legacy for an undrafted player from Austria. All the best to him in the future.

Redpill me on Raffl Philly fans. Does he have speed to burn?

Raffl has slowed down, he's 32 and gets nicked, but he's a solid 4LW, good forechecker, does the dirty work, responsible defensively and has enough skill to score but not a good enough offensive player to play in the top 9 on a regular basis.

A smart depth veteran who's a solid addition to a playoff roster.

Good soldier, but wasn't going to be in the long term plans. Wish him luck.

But, man, do I feel sorry for Jakub Vrana, speaking of Washington.
Eh... you see the videos of him after they won the cup? That guy had the highest of highs early on in his career. Let him experience the dumpster that a lot of other guys never escape from.
