Zac Rinaldo finished with 67GP, 2 goals, 2 assists and 153PIM. Flyers went 37-30 with him in the lineup, 5-10 without. Who would you compare him too? Matt Martin, Tom Wilson, Kyle Clifford, Ryan reaves?

A bowling ball. Literally if you wrapped a bowling ball in a Flyers jersey and rolled it out on the ice, it would run into people, take stupid penalties and eventually score 2 goals.

Obviously Simmonds since Berube played each the same amount of minutes in period one of a game seven!

EDIT: Simmonds earned additional minutes due to his hattrick the night before, otherwise Rinaldo would have played even more. Therefore, Rinaldo >>> Simmonds.

He should play in the AHL until he learns how to use a hockey stick and a hockey puck to make hockey plays.

He regressed. He's nothing more than a smaller version of Patrick Kaleta. I look forward to Goulbourne easing him off the roster.

Anyone know how much time is left on his contract? I did not see him listed as a RFA or FA anywhere

Yeah man, but it was game 7. We needed that extra spark he brings to get us amped up.

I mean, you can't expect our players to be motivated until Rinaldo lays someone out! Right?!

:laugh:

Wilson has top six potential & was a former first rounder in 2012, how is he comparable?

Martin: 79GP 8G 14P 11:53TOI
Wilson: 82GP 3G 10P 7:56TOI
Clifford: 71GP 3G 8P 10:10TOI
Reeves: 63GP 2G 8P 8:31TOI
Rinaldo: 67GP 2G 4P 7:41TOI

Rinaldo: 29 minor penalties
Reeves: 12 minor penalties
Clifford: 18 minor penalties
Wilson: 23 minor penalties
Martin: 15 minor penalties

Reeves is the only comparable in the sense they're hired goons who play on the 4th line & Reeves is less of a liability than Rinaldo so yeah I would take him over Rinaldo.

I would honestly take all four over Rinaldo even today.

But, how many of them are Batman?
