If Welinski was healthy, Morin would be #9.

Any chance they waive Pitlick bill?

Morin has struggled in camp more days than he's played effectively. Even Sam himself said he feels there's a much higher level to him than what he's shown so far, and it's not a physical issue (he feels 100% and actually had a fully healthy summer for the first time in several years). AV acknowledged that missing most of the last two seasons was a pretty big setback for him.

Morin was the lone non-injury rehab player (apart from TK) to skate and work with development coach Angelo Ricci last Wed when the rest of the team took off. In camp, he has never been paired at at point with one of the guys who are locks for the top 5.

So, no, they aren't going to trade Hägg simply to make room for Morin. Not right now, anyway.

He is injured. They don't need to do anything with him before the season starts.

Doubtful. They want him in the starting lineup. Has to get/stay healthy to do that, though.

Wow, who saw Connor Bunnaman coming? Flyers love their Kitchener Rangers.

Kitchener captains, at that.

Friedman is ahead of Welinski, and Friedman was just demoted.

I don't think he is. Welinski was put on a one-way contract and played 20-some NHL games last year. Pre-injury, Chuck Fletcher twice mentioned Welinski as a guy in mix to compete for a roster spot. Don't recall him mentioning Friedman.

Hopefully for this one, the 'C' doesn't stand for Coke.

Andreoff is on a one-way contract (for two years) and Fletcher mentioned him as a guy in the mix to compete for a roster spot.

What did Fletcher do to Andreoff today?

Look at you mouthing off at Bill like he is Tanner...

Hagg Ghost and Twarinsky for Laine

Here's what the AGM had to say about Friedman this summer.

First of all, I think he worked hard at his game last year. I think there’s a lot of pressure, with Myers coming through (the system). But the one thing with him is he’s got great mobility. He’s a highly competitive guy that plays with an edge, and it’s just simplifying the game (that’s important for him). I think he was trying maybe to do too much at times with the puck, and even on the defensive side of things, with his compete level.

But I think he’s settled down, and when he even got his call-up, which probably happened later than we would have liked — just with the bodies we had here, we weren’t able to give him a call-up sooner — I think he played very well. I think the game was easier for him. He was “quieter,” if you want to use that word, but he was more efficient and showed well for himself.

We have a new coaching staff here, we’ve got all new people here, and it’ll be interesting to see where he’s at in camp.

Appears he was sent down.

It's just funny that "one-way contract" keeps getting brought up like it matters on the same day Andreoff and his one way contract got put on waivers.

The Phantoms will have three vets on one-way contracts once Welinski is healthy enough to join Andreoff and Lyon in scenic Allentown.

The Flyers need to put Morin on the ice and play him. He stands out (even from the television) and he needs a true shot to compete at this level. I can really see the Flyers mistakenly moving on and he then having a 10 year career with another team because he got the ice time.

Kind of shocked about rubstov. Haven’t been watching but bunnaman over rubstov? I hear both are in great shape.

Laughton and bunnaman your bottom 6 centers.

Yikes

No they don't. They need to play their 6 best dmen right now and win games.

"This afternoon the Blues acquired the 27-year-old defenseman Justin Faulk from Carolina along with a 5th round pick in 2020 for defenseman Joel Edmundson, prospect Dominik Bokk and a seventh-round pick in 2021.

Compounding matters, the Blues then signed Faulk to a seven-year contract extension worth $45.5 million (annual average value of $6.5 million)."

Thoughts on that contract vs Provy?

This is what I don't want to see. I'd like for them to give him a good look now that he's healthy for the first time in forever.

If that happens so be it
