Ignore the actual writing. There are quotes from Flyers people and his Junior coach. Assumption seems to be he's going back to Juniors unless something drastic happens.

Says he took 500 one timers per day after practice. According to OB that was a particular area of weakness for him and they say he's significantly improved.

Yup I read it.

There's nothing but good things to say about the kid so far. Sounds like he could really be a tank out there

Yeah. I think he's going to dominate Juniors next year. He'll probably get top unit PP time too. I think he ran the point on the second unit last season.

Yeah, really. I wonder who will get the playing time during the preseason. Only so many spots available. Ghost, Morin, Hagg, Sanheim, Alt, Lauridson, Manning will be fighting just to get some preseason games.

I'd like to see Coots get extended time with some really good wingers. Simmonds and Voracek together would probably have the ability to hold possession in the offensive zone for long periods of time.

I dig it

Coots' possession game is underrated, imo

Ya he'll give opposing teams fits by holding it in their zone during a PK. That line would have some really good potential to be a force possession-wise. I don't think it'll happen cause I think Hextall and Berube view the lineup as more permanent pairings with a third player shifting in and out (G-Jake, Schenn-Simmonds, Coots-Read with other players shifting in between). I think they're more devoted to keeping these pairings together.

"We still think there's a big ceiling with Samuel, but everybody's just got to be patient here and let this kid develop," Pryor said. "Everybody's got to temper their enthusiasm. There's a lot of room for growth."

I really wish Gagne didn't suffer those serious injuries. He would be the perfect guy to play with G on the left side. Move Simmer up to RW and Jake down to play with Schenn.

I still believe. Bring Gagne back!

I wonder how much weight he has put on in the last year. Surprising no team gave him a shot at camp ......... Maybe there is more than we know as more mortals

Sort of hoping the french dude Bellemare becomes a Raffl type free agent steal #2,
with poise, skill speed at a modest price.

I also wonder who goes down to Reading for development since I have season tix there....
No goalies in the system except for the AHL guys Zepp and Stolarz.

Quick and a few other goalies in the NHL played there to start
