Prospect Info: So which Rookies do you hope make the team out of camp?

[boxcar65]

Enjoy the last year of Manning being Flyers property.

Maybe so. But what if he has a great year and a couple of the young guys underperform? Hey, it could happen...lol.

 

[Striiker]

The only way Manning could be more of a piece of **** would be if he were literally made up of fecal matter.

Even on a godawful defense in the middle of a rebuild he clearly stands out as the worst of the bunch and constantly embarrasses himself.

He's the Vandevelde of defensemen.

And to think you were his biggest fan the beginning of last season. What happened to you, Striiker??? Don't let a few bad performances from an otherwise stellar Mandog year cloud your mind, my friend.

No....it really couldn't.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Why do you want the worse of the two players?

Sanheim might be better right now, but at the same age I like Myers more.

Among the rookie D-men in camp: Samuel Morin, Travis Sanheim, and Phil Myers. Robert Hagg will be part of the veterans’ camp.

Assuming this is accurate (it is Carchidi, after all) does this suggest anything about Hagg's position relative to the other kids? He is the same draft class as Morin.

Or is there some other reason Hagg isn't participating early? The extra year of AHL maybe?

 

[Curufinwe]

Charlie O'Connor said it was because he's already played 3 AHL seasons.

 

[Striiker]

I gave him a chance for about 10 seconds after he scored that one nice goal last year, but then he threw that chance away by going back to Manning stye defense.

And it may please you to know that he's been passed in my hate rankings. I hate him the third most now, after Weal and the beat writers.

 

[Curufinwe]

Locks (4): Provorov, Gostisbehere, Gudas, MacDonald.

Likely (1): Manning.

Battling (3): Morin, Sanheim, Hagg.

Longshot (1): Myers.

I see most likely Morin+Hagg making it into the 7 man defense - but it would not be insane if Sanheim had a great camp and forced way onto roster - then Manning moved or stashed in AHL.

If even just Morin + Hagg make it, then you would have to assume Manning or MacDonald would end up as the #7 because there's no point whatsoever in putting waiver-exempt dmen on the roster if they're not going to be regulars in the top 6.

I thought he looked surprisingly good last season at times. I did not watch every game though

I get the beat writers, too many lazy low effort guys. Don't understand hating less talented players who made something of themselves through sheer determination and hard work. My least favorite are super talented lazy low effort silver spoon types.

I take it as a personal offense that they cause the pixels on my TV to show their stupid faces. How dare they?

 

[Curufinwe]

The beat writers are already in mid-season form.

Flyers general manager Ron Hextall opted instead to protect Laughton, cut loose centerman Chris VandeVelde and expose valued veteran penalty killer and fourth-line winger Pierre-Edouard Bellemare. Las Vegas plucked the popular 32-year-old Frenchman.

Who was center and who was the LW on the 4th line for 80 games last season? I couldn't possibly expect someone paid to cover the team would know.

Chris VandeVelde, who played the last four seasons with the Flyers, signed a professional tryout agreement with the Ottawa Senators Monday. The 30-year-old center, who scored six goals and had 15 points in 81 games for the Flyers last season, will attempt to win a spot when the Sens’ training camp begins Thursday. Another former Flyer, Harry Zolnierczyk, is on a PTA with Florida.

Harry Z is apparently working with a school down south.

 

[Rebels57]

I'm angry for even clicking on the link to that terrible article that paints Vecchione as some type of victim, even though training camp hasn't even begun and he is just a few months removed from realizing his dream of signing an NHL contract.

Donnellon is the absolute ****ing worst. Any Flyers article he writes this year is going to make John Boruk look like Bill Meltzer.

 

[Striiker]

There's a fairly significant handful of posters on this board who would be far better beat writers than the flaming garbage we have now.

 

[deadhead]

Well, he could have waited and signed with LV?

Wherever Vecchione went, he'd basically be fighting for a job, 25 year old college players who went undrafted are rarely guaranteed anything. And he's right, in a good organization he'll get the coaching and the shot to go to another team. He can also look at the roster and see lots of aging veteran forwards at the bottom of the roster, while most of the young forwards in the system are a couple years behind him - his direct competition are Leier, AK, Vorobyov and Martel - and if he can't beat them out, he's probably not going to be a NHL player.

 

[The Burdened]

Hoping Sanheim makes it over Morin

 

[Striiker]

Not over Morin, with Morin.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

hope Sanheim, Hagg and Morin make the decision very difficult for the coaching staff for the opening night roster. difficult in a good way.

 

[Rebels57]

My personal preference, if we are only picking 2, is Morin and Sanheim.

We need Morin for our PK and to make it more difficult in and around our net.

We need Sanheim for transition game and PP2.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Sanheim might be better right now, but at the same age I like Myers more.

Why? At the same age Sanheim performed better than Myers. I'm not knocking Myers at all, I think he's a great prospect, but Sanheim is a better one.

On NHL.com, VandeVelde is listed at center and Bellemare at wing. The only way you could think they are actually such is if you never watched a single Flyers game.

What is a lower level organism than a Flyers beat writer? Bacteria? Because that's what Donnellon is.

Samuel "Motrin" Morin. Donnellon brings the laughs every time he writes something about the Flyers.

I still don't get that at all - it's more confusing to me than "groupons" whatever the **** those things are. Motrin is for lady cramps, no? So what in God's hot hell does that have to do with Big Sam? Is he going to give opponents menstrual cramps, and if so, wouldn't that mean that he is making men menstruate in the first place? I went to Catholic school and know nothing about human anatomy, but that seems unlikely.
