Agreed on all points.

Question regarding the Flyers. When do we realistically get to see Hart come up to the big team and in what capacity?

I'd guess that unless they need an injury call up that he'll spend his first pro year in the AHL but having two pending FA's in net muddies the water somewhat when you have a highly touted prospect in the system. And if they wait until next year do they bring him up to be back up for a season (unless he's clearly the best in camp) and if so do they retain one of the current two tenders?

Hextall likes to overcook his prospects so I don't see him as a regular in a Flyers uniform this season unless they're forced to do so. I think he wins the job in 19/20.

Hextall drafts well, but he never seems to make a big move for any decent ufas. So they come here where the action is so that they can believe that their team is relevant.

Do you remember a player by the name of James VanRiemsdyke? He used to play for the Leafs a while back.

Even before he was traded there were an awful lot of Leafs fans not too upset to see him go.

The guy can score goals, obviously a valuable talent, but he brings pretty much nothing else.

I would think he qualifies as a decent free agent that Hextall signed so it's puzzling that the statement would be made.
