Well if history teaches us anything, after JVR has a game like that he'll be invisible for two weeks.

He's gonna be a Flyer killer for the rest of his life -- just one of those guys

He's an insurance move for the Phantoms. Lotta goons in the AHL. Don't need the actual talent to feel like they need to fight 'em.

Sign him to an AHL deal then, like Powe

Technically they already happened. The Flyers sent all their try out guys back to juniors. I;d expect we see some tomorrow.

Yeah, fair enough there.

As long as he's a first cut and stays down in the AHL I cant get took worked up over him.

I hope Bill doesnt even bother going in depth over this one. This matchup showed the ugly side to split squads. What are you supposed to take away from a game where the opposition dresses just about all their big names and you run a lot of youth out there?

I'm six games away from my legend 1! Tonight's game was a huge waste of time in keeping me away from this feat.

Yep, pretty much. The Flyers pretty much dressed the bare mimimum of required vets and the Leafs had a lot of big guns dressed. Definitely a get out of dodge without injuries type game

What are we looking at, realistically?

Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, Lecavalier, Umberger, Schenn, Read, Couturier and Raffl are the locks? That's nine.

Rinaldo just got extended on a one-way, so you'd think he'd have to play his way off the team. That's 10.

Are we looking at two spots for the opening night roster, plus a 13th forward? Am I missing somebody who's a lock?

rosemont took a good shot to the beak against the dasher early. sadly it didn't remove him from the game.

Not that I see. I think Rosehill will be the 13th guy, Rinaldo is probably a lock. I'm guessing Bellemare will be around, probably Akeson, too.

I think Bellemare will be in the NHL.

Akeson is a tough one. He's looked really nice but he really needs to be in the top 6 and I don't know if the opening/fit is there for him.

I don't think Laughton is going to make it either.

OK, I'll trade you stud defenseman Luke Schenn and his tough as nails brother Brayden for the untalented James van Riemsdyk and the horrible fat guy Phil Kessel

He's played well enough and his waiver status will probably get him a slot to start the year.
