Hoping for a career without as many injuries. If he can stay healthy, he can be a valuable valuable edition for this team. I think both him/cutter are 2nd line/2nd pair d who can play on the top line/pair and fill it admirably. however, we still need a number 1 center and d. This hasn’t changed even if we didn’t make a trade.

Sanheim, drysdale, Andrea, zamula, bonk is a start I guess. We really need a top center to come asap. Hopefully we lose 10 in a row soon

What are the injuries, is it the main injury, or are there a bunch more ?

Last year’s was a shoulder (torn labrum). Apparently this year’s has been a mysterious lower body injury that hasn’t been disclosed, which is probably the most concerning aspect of all this to me.

Also missed a chunk this season with a lower body injury

 

[FlyerNutter]

Kid already lost one season to injury due to a shoulder.

10 games this year for lower body.

Irrelevant how good he is, if he cant play - especially for a core piece.

 

[Random Forest]

Very curious to see how this shakes up the rest of the D. Seems like the ice time pressure on Sanheim and York was a concern, even though it appeared to be holding up alright so far. Hoping Zamula doesn’t come out, but you have to imagine he will.

 

[Embiid]

Doubt Drysdale will be the next Steve Eminger but this is the Flyers afterall...

[FLYguy3911]

They gave him #9 lmao.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I think it'll be a wait and see with how this all pans out. I've liked the kid for a while, but he also needs a full season to really what he's all about. But yeah, injuries suck.

Hopefully he pans out.

 

[TK11]

Bye Cutter, thanks for nothing. Keep it like that, hes not worth the orange and black

But i‘m curious to see what Jamie is bringing to the D. If he stays fit i‘m not dissappointed with that trade, if Anaheim is Anaheim again next season the added pick gave you additional value. From my pov it‘s the best we could get under this circumstances.

Now load up your offense in the upcoming drafts, acquire and ship wisely in the next free agencies/ trade deadlines and bring in the russian, then let’s go Flyers

Hopefully hes playing tomorrow, even if that means a night without sleep in Germany…

Does this make you feel better?



Yeah, me either.

Trust me man, that clunking sound is the older tires.

Put on a new set, and this car is going to go for years baby.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

For what it’s worth his injuries were unlucky and I don’t think he’s “injury prone”


As to what he brings to the table…. Skating is his game, he was the best skater in Anaheim, and prob already best skater in Philly. When healthy he reminds me of Scott neidermyer (not as many offensive tools as Scott)

I think his floor is cam fowler+, but I think with good health and consistency he can be a top pair dmen.

In terms of value of the trade I think slight edge to Philly as that 2nd will be in the 35-45 range most likely.

 

[Henry Miller]

Hopefully he’s the next Eric D or Kimmo.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Holy smokes. Shades of Neidermeyer with a floor of a better Cam Fowler. Why did the Ducks trade this guy?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

How many U25 Defensemen have a floor of Cam Fowler+? 2? 3 if you want to include Seider?

Provorov. With the right partner. Though he may be 27 now?

 

[wankstifier]

Short-handed second assist from 3 Jan. He's on the ice for the 4 on 4 and draws in Domi and McCabe in the OZ. McTavish picks up the loose puck and finds Vatrano alone in front of the net. Probably should credit McTavish most for creating the scoring chance, but some nice work by Drysdale. Feel like Domi might've gotten away with a penalty there.

 

[deadhead]

Think the injury this year was a foot, didn't seem to be anything serious.

Two keys are going to be the weight room (look at the transformation of York the last couple years) to protect him from injury, and Shaw teaching him defensive fundamentals (rushed by Anaheim which has been pretty chaotic the last couple years, then lost a year to injury).
