Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] Flyers sign Chris Stewart (1 year, $753,757)

[ponder719]

Flyers could have gotten more production signing Martha Stewart.

 

[DFC]

Seriously thought this guy had been retired for years.

 

[McDonald19]

He is a good fighter, but he often is disinterested and will go 3-4 games without throwing a body check.

 

[Siludin]

He is a good fighter, but he often is disinterested and will go 3-4 games without throwing a body check.

So if they limit him to 20 games he'll be interested in every game.

Imagine if you could be an NHLer and only play every two weeks. You'd be stoked to get away from the kids!

 

[Ivan13]

What happened to Stewart? Back to back 28 goal years and then fell off the map

Can't be bothered to play hard. He is one of the players who is insanely easy to push of the puck.

 

[Canes]

He could barely score .5 PPG in the English league and somehow parlayed that into a 1 way NHL contract. Mediocre ECHL players put up better numbers in that league. Just brutal.

 

[FlyguyOX]

but he can still skate, really well,

No, no he can't.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

NHL GMs: "I just cant quit you"

 

[VanIsle]

I wanted the Bruins to get this guy . . . . . . 10 years ago!

 

[VaporTrail]

Lol... He's still in the league?

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Couldnt have happened to a nicer team.

That rage room is gonna come in pretty handy.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Fletcher just can't quit him...

 

[57special]

He will be liked in the locker room. Good, though reluctant, fighter. Flashes top 6 skill on occasion. Surprisingly soft and creative hands. For a big strong guy he is poor along the boards, and at grinding in general.

A good choice for SO's believe it or not.

Agree that he should be considered a 14th forward. Use him when you expect a "heavy" game.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Flyer's playoff chances: "Haha, I'm in danger."

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

what a weird move when you have guys like Pominville, Vanek, etc out there...

 

[sufferer]

Should've taken Ville Leino back from the fashion industry instead.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Don't the Flyers have anyone better in the AHL?

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Wow, I thought he was a lot older than 31 (going on 32).

 

[BlueOil]

proof athleticism can get you places even if you don't have the hockey IQ

 

[Toonces]

Don't the Flyers have anyone better in the AHL?

His name is Joel Farabee...

Moves like this are why they can't have nice things.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Jesus Christ. He scored 13 points in 23 games in the EIHL last year. And he’s a horrible defensive player.

 

[robsenz]

What a weird career

 

[Kale Hulls]

Waste of a contract.

 

[RyGuy]

I read it was a 2-way contract. Why the **** would they sign him on a 1-way?

 

[flyersfan018]

Don't the Flyers have anyone better in the AHL?

Probably everyone in the AHL is better than this guy.
