Wasn't there some guy from New Jersey who grew up a Flyers fan or something? Played in the NHL... San Jose and Montreal? Not sure about those teams, but somewhere similar...
That sounds about right....Buddy Robinson? He’s pretty much you obscure hockey player from South Jersey that only Isaac & Carchidi actually talk about.
Good for him he didn't have to wait for a PTO. Still 2-way, but I hope he sticks in the NHL as a 12/13. I also didn't know he went to Bemidji State.
Looking at Cap Friendly and Minny's depth, I agree.I doubt Read makes the NHL roster.
Happy Read ended up in Minnesota...not exactly the same, but reminds me when Darrel Powe landed there. Both fan favorite 4th line guys who aren't the best anymore.
hahaLet us not forget a great quote from Hak when asked why he was dressing Lehtera over Read... "He's been with our group the whole year. He's put in the work."
Yes, Hak actually said this. Read had been on the Flyers since 2011. Had he not put in the work? **** you, Hakstol.
Not bad for an undrafted guyhaha
I wish him the best in Minny, he parlayed a couple of good years into a career where he'll make nearly 20 milly playing hockey, not bad...
I think he has a pretty good shot. If I were a betting man I'd say he makes it. Maybe not in an impactful way, but I think he'll be in Minny to start the season. Who is his competition? JT Brown, Eric Fehr, and Matt Hendricks? Kunin I think comes in and makes that team and Matt Read I am confident can beat out one of Brown, Fehr, or Hendricks. Is there someone I am missing (I am just looking at the guys listed on CapFriendly). Either way I love Matt Read and hope he makes an NHL team somewhere if he doesn't make it in Minny.I doubt Read makes the NHL roster.
Bobby Ryan...and Mike TroutThat sounds about right....
Kinda wish our beat writers would mention it more because I'm super interested in non-Flyers players who were born in the same corner of the country as me.
Downie-Coots-Read was a really fun line to watch
