Thank you Matt Read

[Cootsfanclub]

Him, Coots, and Downie were a really fun line to watch. I think he'll surprise a team that gives him a PTO

 

[Foggy14]

I've always liked undrafted guys, like Matty, who work hard and put together a good NHL career.

Best of luck!

I am sorry Matt Read that your thread is not even 1/3 of Manning's. But it's because you were a good player.

The only time he performed well was when I would go to the games. He had a 3 point game I believe, against the Islanders a couple years ago.

He was a good 3rd line/PK’er at one point

If you add together the two Read threads which serve exactly the same purpose, he probably has as many.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Thanks for giving it your all Reader. A fantastic surprise from when you were signed and a fine career so far. Hopefully he finds himself on another team in a role he excels in.

The only team that is sentimental enough to keep someone like Matt Read around much longer than they should.

He was fun to watch for a little while but then again so was Wellwood. The sentimentality of a player who hasn't been very good for years is just that.

They're far from the only team, and not the worst team. Look at the Red Wings.

Eh I don't care to be grouped into other bad teams that keep players past their expiration date.

 

[Danko]

Loved his first few years. He should be able to jump on another nhl roster

Me neither. It's not a good thing regardless, but I was just saying the Flyers aren't unique here.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

A lot of people are being a little harsh on Read about his future prospects for a job. He's nno getting a huge deal by any means, but I am more than confident he'll be in the NHL somewhere.

 

[Limeyjim]

Any guesses on where he will go next? Europe?

A.H.L.

Back in a day 4th lines were reserved for facepunchers and 3rd lines were for defensively nresponsible players who can chip in.

 

[Limeyjim]

I liked Matt Read, he was a much better player than the scrubs that made up the forth line for the majority of the year. It's too bad he couldn't retrieve his former offensive abilities from a couple of years ago. Good luck, Matty!

Reminds me of Derrick Smith...3rd liner that is
