Ondrej Kase had 26 points in 39 games at age 20-21.
David Kase (battling injury) has 19 points in 30 games at age 21-22.


Would be nice to see a young kid or two have an available depth role next season. You know, instead of wasting pointless games with Varone-Knight-Bailey types.

But we had an 8% chance of making the playoffs, gotta play Varone.

f***ing Morgan Frost is going to have a hard enough time making this team... forget lesser prospects having a chance (unless they suck and don’t deserve it).

I wish we lived in a world where hockey dinosaurs didn’t hate and fear youth, but until I get hired we’re going to continue seeing this problem, even for our top prospects.

Speaking of Frost, 1+2 tonight

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Frost with a goal & two assists. SSM won 6-3 to tie the series 1-1 with Owen Sound.

Really inexcusable that NAK didn't get 30+ games in the NHL this season. He's exactly the kind of guy you want to use when he has his young legs and hasn't been beaten to a pulp yet -- get him out there creating havoc on the 4th line and make him earn a contract.

Sad part is NAK is an RFA at seasons end and is also no longer waiver exempt next season so if he doesn’t make the Flyers roster next season, there is a possibility he could be claimed just as Danick Martel was this season.

I think most people who watched both since age ~17 would be pretty unanimous in saying David had more "natural" talent than Ondrej.

But Ondrej has such a high hockey IQ, and while David is not a "brainless" player I am not sure his is quite as high.

Nevertheless, I can easily see him becoming a damn good 3rd liner, same as NAK.

And I concur completely.

After his recovery from injury, it would have been better if NAK had been brought up instead of Bailey. The latter just isn't an NHL player at all.

 

[deadhead]

Gordon had NAK for two years in LHV, if he thought he was better than Bailey one would think he'd lobby for him, given his future is on the line.
The fact that NAK never really got a chance under Gordon tells me Gordon didn't think as highly of him as people on this board.

 

[renberg]

Gordon was made HC on 12/17/18. Bailey was acquired on 1/17/19. Gordon never had Bailey on his club in LV. Bringing up Bailey instead of NAK is an organizational call probably determined by NAK's health up to now.

 

[deadhead]

Coaches lobby for players, if Gordon really felt NAK could help the team win (and if he was healthy, if he's rehabbing something, they'd keep him in LHV) he'd have pushed hard for him.

I'm actually more interested in seeing Kase, I think he has more upside than NAK. Good genes.

Maybe he did....and Fletch said "No, I want to see what we have in Bailey first"

Point is, we have no idea what is being said behind the scenes.

[baudib1]

Coaches don't lobby for players, they play who they are given because they have no choice.

 

[Striiker]

NAK isn't on the team because Gordon doesn't want him there?
But Hakstol had no choice but to play the guys on the roster. He didn't love Hagg and Manning and MacDonald, he just had no choice!

Weird that an interim coach has control over who's on the team but the highly paid, long term guy didn't. Quite the contradiction.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Ratcliffe - 1G 1A
Strome - 1G

Guelph (Ratcliffe) is up 2-0 in their series. Hamilton (Strome) is down 2-0 in their’s.

Cates is in Allentown this year.

allentown pa the midwest of america.

it is the mid west of the college hockey scene

that crowd is going to be garbage after penn state lost

 

[captainpaxil]

This phantoms team could really use the infusion of young talent that comes at the end of the year. The sooner we get them signed the better chance at a playoff push

It is about as likely as the Flyers making the playoffs. Just isn't going to happen. There aren't wildcards like the NHL. It is the top 4 in each division and the Phantoms are 8 points out with 10 games to go (they have a game in hand).

The goal should be about getting some feet wet rather than trying to push for the playoffs

WOOOOOOO

Hearing #Flyers first-round pick Joel Farabee has informed Boston Univ. he is turning pro. Expected to sign today after fantastic freshman season, Hockey East rookie of the year.

 

[deadhead]

Guess the Flyers think he's ready, I doubt they encouraged him to go pro to spend a year in LHV.
It's going to be pretty crowded there next year.

 

[DancingPanther]

Official on their facebook page. Hoorayyy

 

[Curufinwe]

I would rather see him signed. I have a bad feeling about the Flyers ability to sign these college guys. I don't believe their FO/culture is viewed very positively. Just my opinion...

Maybe Farabee will demand a trade tomorrow.
