Weird how we never saw picks of Richards working out in the offseason.

We did. Don't you remember all the shots of him doing one armed curls?

There were no cameras back then.

If Leier doesn't pan out on the wing, maybe he can go back to D like he played when he was young. haha.

Just heard that in an interview with Coates on http://flyers.nhl.com/?navid=nav-teamnav-phi

Leier is going to pan out. The kid is a smart, fast player. Very dedicated. He'll be at worst a 3LW, possibly 2L@W. He has scoring touch to go with PK ability and he's not big but he's tough.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Honestly, I could see him being in our bottom 6 for a while. Kid has wheels, he's smart, has decent hands (not good or great, but decent) and is an excellent PKer. A real gamer. Honestly, he reminds me of Laughton, but a little smaller and not as good of hands.

 

[FLYguy3911]

A lot would have to go right for him to be a 2nd liner. I don't think he has that much raw talent. Could be a staple in the bottom 6 two years from now though and if that were to happen it was a really good pick by the scouting staff. It's already a good pick, but if he's a regular, it becomes a great pick.

Yeah, I don't see him that high, either, and I think something quite miraculous would have to happen for this to be where he fits on an NHL team. I don't even see him being a sureshot mainstay in the league, though, whatever the role.

Yeah if you're a bottom 6 guy without much upside, chances are you are going to be fighting for your spot most years. Hard for a guy like that to be a mainstay. They rarely get long-term deals and if they do its with another team willing to give them a chance at a bigger role and more money (Talbot comes to mind).

All things considered, he had a decent rookie year for a player with his track record. You hope he takes another step this season and develops into a role player on a cheap contract during his prime years.

Odd timing but Bowling Green just lost a defensemen to the pros (signed with the Blackhawks as a UFA) so Friedman if he wasn't already is likely going to take on a bigger load next year.

About the same time they lost Ralfs Freibergs last year.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I don't know what he's saying but he lost his tan and now he boxes. I wanna see at least one scrap this year!

 

[SchennSational1022*]

Have no idea what any of this means obviously, but damn is he solid size for an 18 year old. He has the body for the NHL, no doubt.

Was the last guy his dad, if so, he's gonna fill out nicely.

His trainer is about 5'3 though.

That's what I'm worried about. He doesn't need to get any heavier.

 

[Stizzle]

Yeah, I assume that's his dad. He was sitting next to him at the draft.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Poor Shayne

 

[LEIFey]

You know Morin is huge when he makes Stolarz look small.

 

[Curufinwe]

His reach and skating ability are going to let him cover so much of the ice. It never seems to work out so easily, but if three years from now the top 6 was something like this it would be really cool:

Provorov-Sanheim
Morin-Gostisbehere
Hagg-Friedman

 

[Curufinwe]

I like this list a lot more.

13. Provorov
23. Sanheim
42. Konecny
68. Morin

95. Laughton

Six in the top 100 is very nice indeed. The future is very bright.

Would love if any of our Russian speaking comrades could translate some of the information in this video. Maybe an explanation of why he's boxing haha.. I know it's a good workout and tests reflexes but I'd love to hear if it's because he expects to fight in the NHL

 

[The Couturier Effect]

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He's Dillabaugh's friend & was helping at the development camp so I guess not too shocking.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Hockey Canada goalie coach? Uh oh.

 

[Curufinwe]

Is this the first time the Flyers have had two full time goalie coaches?
