Didn't realize that you you were only discussing Holmstrom when you made the general statement that the Flyers don't develop later round picks, and let them languish in the AHL.

And I didn't realize by saying the Flyers should give their kids a fair shot at depth jobs that I was insinuating that we'd only be bringing up the kids who weren't ready.


Anyway, let's just agree that you don't know what you're talking about, lol.

This isn't an advanced stat. Giroux has taken more faceoffs this year than any other player in the league. Having another forward who can win 55%+ of his faceoffs is essential.

I think it's clear who knows what their talking about. So you just refuted your own point. If a player is ready, the Flyers just like any team, brings them up and inserts them into the lineup. Just like they did with McGinn, Rinaldo, and Gustafsson. And given players like Wellwood playing time, even in the playoffs. And players like Gustafsson, McGinn, and Holmstrom will get the opportunity to prove they're ready in training Camp in the Fall.

And to be clear, I did not state that I was against giving kids depth jobs on the team. I clearly stated that I wanted a veteran proven PKer who was good on faceoffs in that 4th line Center role.

Regurgitating snails or just the psychic sense of when it's coming. Not sure which one might be more relevant...

Sure is. And I'd like to know how many of those faceoffs are defensive zone draws. So if you take even half of those defensive zone draws, and turn them into offensive zone draws. Would that be good or bad for the Flyers? But I've been told I don't know what I'm talking about. lol

I get snagged on his sweet sleeping face and forget to keep going. Makes you want to bundle him up and protect him like a small child...

Or Something...
