Nolan Patrick, Part 2

[GingerBeards]

Ugh, that’s one of many mistake’s that I hate.

[joez86]

This kid is still incredibly underrated by most non-Flyers fans, IMO. I expect him to hit 80 points within the next two seasons, and at least 60 this year, assuming he is on PP1.

I'm not even sure I fully appreciate how lucky the Flyers were to get him.

I guess you could say that, for all intensive purposes and irregardless of what those people say, he has peaked my interest, and he won't end up as an escape goat, IMO.

Saw this on the main boards and thought of the grammar convo from the other day. I won't humiliate the person by showing their name.

"There is a flaw in your argument. Team considerations. Kyrou may not be as good as patches, but he could be in future. Mostly blues don't due that trade because of the following.
1) we have plenty of lw on the team to many in fact.
2) kyrou is c/rw mostly rw and a huge potential scoring threat that could in time slot behind tarasenko and can skate circles around patches"

I disagree. He has been getting pub recently especially with fantasty hockey starting to heat up. Mike johnson on nhl network ranked him number 1 player to break out this season. He is under the radar a bit but that is all

Joe, I am going to assume that you did all of that on purpose, and I love it.

Another usage error in this thread: "mute point." Ugh.

Yeah, everyone should know what it really is.

I actually posted that as an example of things I have heard here at my office. Believe me, it drives me insane as well. I am well aware it is "moot point"

Yea, I saw the Johnson thing, but I still feel like a lot of fans of other teams on this board treat Patrick as if he were a finished product, or as if he had only second line upside.

I should probably just avoid the main boards, though... in fact, I could care less about what they think, and would have more piece of mind if I stuck to this board.

What did Nolan Patrick do to deserve this grammar abuse and the boil conversation all in his player thread(s)?

He grew a boil. You don't live that down. That stays with you forever, like being from Calgary or being Brayden Schenn.

Patrick goes through offseason without limitations, eager to help Flyers



Kid is going to be a monster this year.

So pumped to watch him play 12 minutes per night.

 

[deadhead]

Been saying that for almost a year.
Imagine being a young professional athlete and not being able to work out for two off-seasons in a row, and start each season recovering from surgery.
That has to put a serious crimp in your development.

Your strength comes from your core, and he hasn't been able to work his core for two years.
And as he said, he can now run, i.e., focus on improving aerobic conditioning.

Some here think his minutes were limited last year by coaching pique, it's obvious that he simply wasn't physically ready, even in the spring, to carry a full load - not because he was a rookie, but because he wasn't in NHL shape. Even when he was skating better, he struggled to handle contact because he just didn't have the core or upper body strength.

With a full summer to work out, hit the weights, develop stamina, watch out world!

Nah man. He’s good to go now!

I do. I remember well watching his Jr games while scouting Provorov and thinking, 'this kid is SO good, pity we'll never get a shot at drafting him.' We really lucked out.

I want to post it everyday (and for a while I did), I cant believe we landed a #2 pick in Nolan Patrick's draft year - and Nolan Patrick fell to that pick.

 

[deadhead]

I think if Patrick had been healthy his pre-draft season, he'd have been the clear #1 pick.
Nico is a solid player, but he was also the safe pick compared to the player with the reoccurring injury.

 

[Striiker]

Nah man. He’s good to go now!

I'm sure he is, but Hakstol is stupid.

 

[Curufinwe]

He did average 14:57 in 2018.

[SanBlom]

I came for Mango. Where is Mango???

About NP. Expecting a very nice year from him. Thoughts - Does he get more points than Nico this year?

 

[Doodootheclown]

I'm sure he is, but Hakstol is stupid.

No argument here, but I think he’s the type of player that is responsible enough and now experienced enough to be immune from that for the most part. Plus there isn’t a good solid veteran like Flip to tempt Hak.
