Flyers need to figure out how to get him out of there, but he didn't want to play in the OHL.

 

[Magua]

Liiga isn’t the KHL. They excel at integrating their young players, and this is a D+2 prospect. Koivunen had 29 points in 53 games last year for Karpat, on the same junior and pro team of Tuomaala. 6 months younger and drafted after.

Do you think Tuomaala isn’t eating enough?

Aatu Räty had 40 points in 41 games last year playing 1C for Jukurit, his current team. Definitely concerning that Tuomaala has struggled in both Karpat and Jukurit. Jokinen was exceptional in getting the most out of younger players last year for Jukurit.

 

[Jukurit]

Tuomaala is playing in U20 Sm-Sarja now. Played yesterday and plays today.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Blown pick by Cuck and Fat f*** Flahr. Next.

Trade your first for garbage and then blow the 2nd. Classic Flyers management philosophy

 

[deadhead]

I'd wait a couple years, Tuomaala basically had a lost season last year, he just needs to play on a regular basis and we'll see if he earns a promotion back to Liiga. He's only 19.

True but he’s already shown an inability to understand development. The Flyers wanted him to play Canadian Jr. He refused. It would have helped him develop on North American ice and get used to the culture and language differences.

Odds are he never comes over full time unless it’s to light up the ECHL.

You have to be careful assuming an 18 year will never grow up, though message boards will make you wonder.

[LegionOfDoom91]

It’s looking like the lost season is carrying over into this year with Tuomaala.

 

[Striiker]

Wasted years for a wasted pick.

Fitting.

I don't know if I'd call bouncing around teams a "lost season." And if it was a lost season, was keeping him in the AHL for a month to throw things out of whack good development?

I had hockey IQ concerns with Tuomaala back to the u18s. It was too small sample to be sure, but he left me with an indifferent feeling that usually pertains to that. His junior numbers were average too. Now, Foerster had a truly lost season -- most of the year lost due to shoulder injury, mediocre sub-point/game performance after in the OHL. But I liked him before, so that's mulligan territory, and he's shown well this summer. Tuomaala looks like more of the same to start this year. Case by case.

Like it or not, the Flyers wanted a goal scoring RW with that 2nd round pick -- made more important after trading the 13th overall. The goal scoring RW taken 1 pick later was named CHL Player of the Year in his D+1 and had 10 points in 7 games at the WJC. Board members had him top 15 in the draft. Sometimes we don't have to wait and see.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Tuomaala was a meh pick from day one

 

[Rebels57]

And there was the usual "We had him in our Top 30" line..which he says after every 2nd round pick they make.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Tuomaala is playing in U20 Sm-Sarja now. Played yesterday and plays today.

Since you're seeing him play, is it likely he plays for Finland at the U20 in December?

Too early to say. Right now I'd say probably not.

 

[mr4tno]

I just read that the Flyers signed Cal O'Reilly to a PTO. My God talk about wash - rinse - repeat. And no, I do not want him around the young guys in LHV taking up valuable 1st line minutes

You do understand what PTO means?

He's already under contract to the phantoms. Pto will cover him for insurance and whatever so he can get a head start before Lehigh starts camp

Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

We have COR, Marody and Brooks b/c we're thin at center and it's hard on the development of wings to play with ECHL caliber centers in the AHL.

 

[Curufinwe]

COR can count as a veteran and you have to dress at least 8 in preseason games.

 

[theslatcher]

Sulku has been convicted of sexual assault, which is why he hasn't played any games with MoDo yet and now never will.

Good grief.
