Knew Danny was interested in the business side and was being groomed by the organization. This is a good thing for him. |

Went to a ECHL All Star game once. Might as well have been fantasy camp. Woof. |

Please send LaMarche to Portland so he can't take a spot that should go to Myers or Friedman again. |

slow day huh? - bulet13
Yes, but notable because of the involvement of Paul Holmgren and Danny Briere and convoluted enough to require an explanation of how things will work. Today's originally planned blog will run tomorrow.

Who has dismissed analytics completely? I don't care about predicting his future play. The context of the conversation was about how he played for the Flyers in my view. NHL teams have access to different data and different analytics than what we have access to. - MJL
Why would you not care about predicting his future play? This doesn't make sense to me at all. As of now, he will be playing for the Flyers in the future. His future play will be one of the factors deciding how the Flyers perform next year. |

I've been to several ECHL games. Basically a collection of players with skill but lacking in both size and skating, players who may have had some ability but insufficient hockey sense or work ethic, plus tough guys (used to be the ECHL's bread and butter) and grinders trying to work their way up the hard way.

anchors weigh things down, so yeah, he likely will be that.

Still a good blog don't get me wrong. Just getting impatient with the two drafts and free agency coming up.
Any news on whether the Flyers will buyout Read? |

For a couple seasons we had a former ECHL guy on our roller hockey team. Compared to his competition he was really good. |

It's still hockey!
Fun fact: The ECHL had 76 former players on NHL rosters this past season. (Link: http://www.echl.com/echl-...n-nhl-opening-day-rosters) |

I really thought there would be more movement leading up to the submission of the protected lists and the trade freeze. So far there's just a lot of rumours and talk. |

Myers and Friedman joined the team at the very end of the season.
I understand why the team rode with the guys they did. Would I have loved to see our prospects in...Yeah....but i also understand why they weren't.
Also Myers was coming off an injury season. I think that had some play into not playing him and making sure he can get healthy. The Phantoms were a solid team before those guys showed up. |

My kid was going to play summer hockey with a mens league team out our way and he said a coupe of the guys who showed up at the first practice played with the Royals. Schedule didn't work out for him but he was amazed at how fast they were. |

Discussed that topic in-depth in yesterday's blog. It's unlikely they buy out Read. |
