The Pitlick fandom is bizarre.
Always blows my mind to see which players get praise when players of the same type are complained about endlessly. For example, it certainly appears that Pitlick gets more love than Raffl, in spite of basically being a watered down version.
Pitlick is a passable 12/13 forward. Not the kind of guy you re-sign when you have better, cheaper youth waiting for playing time.

Never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine someone offersheets Bob Hogg. I cannot understate how happy that would make me.Caps getting tight, may not have room for Boss Hogg

Until I find out the next day the flyers match the 5 year 4.5 million per offer sheet. And then I rage quit this team.

I'd fine with this, as opposed to the shit most posters want to foist onto Seattle.
Edit: posters across this entire site, not Flyers fans specifically.

Love to see that. Let Pitlick walk, as a UFA he'll command at least double that. No thanks

Wait what, why? He cleared waivers!!!

He’s one of those guys who is noticeably competing out there every shift, and people lap that up and think he’s Shjon Podein. At this point I’m even wondering if Shjon Podein was Shjon Podein, and I freaking loved Podes, but I digress.
He’s a nice player, especially in a 4th line role, a hell of a lot better than some of the slop Hak used there, but I agree I don’t see a spot for him moving forward.

He grew on me during the miserable playoff run.
Maybe it's a side effect of Grompson? Idk. I wouldn't mind him as a 12/13th guy.

Also, came to snarkily deride this deal for an AHLer but I appreciate how that particular dead horse has already been pounded into a fine powder. Well done, hive!

He’s a nice player. Just going to be too expensive for his role.

Pitlick is a high energy player with very good speed but minimal puck skills, which was evident in the playoffs.
I like him, but with NAK and Sandin in the fold, and Laczynski and Allison signed, and Sushko and Kase playing regularly in Europe, he's an item that will clutter the closet.

I think you're absolutely right. But what's insane is that we then have people questioning the effort level of guys who work equally as hard, if not harder. But hey, stereotypes, right? Every 4th liner who makes it is just a harder worker than anyone else.
There's nothing wrong with that and I don't dislike him at all. It's not that he's bad, it's that the magnitude of his impact and the level of support I'm seeing don't match up, in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, he's perfectly acceptable as a 12/13th forward and I'd have no problem with him being on the team if it wasn't for the fact that we'd need to give him a new contract and we have prospects who need a spot. He's the odd man out.
I'm just saying it's crazy who the fanbase chooses to really get behind, compared to who they're really against. Especially since those likes and dislikes often contradict each other.
For example, if people aren't big fans of JVR, ok, that's fine, but if you don't want a guy who is pretty one-dimensional and is constantly docked for defensive ability, then it doesn't make sense to then want to give up a ton for Laine, who makes JVR look like a Selke-candidate (but like a far lesser one than Couturier... like Bergeron or something).

I haven't seen anyone diss Raffl, sounds like "alternative facts."
Pitlick is a high energy player, probably the highest on the team, he hits every shift at full speed, which you have to love from an effort standpoint. Problem is he's a disaster with the puck on his stick, sorta Rinaldo without the psychotic streak. The only one who works harder is the Russian Android.
JVR gets dissed b/c he was dog shit for much of the playoffs, and at $7M, you expect more than effort, you expect results.

This must be a record contract for someone who has cleared waivers. At least top 100
