Assuming yes. Idk why we would. Idk that he fell off more than he never amounted to his draft status. Hes 24. Played 20 total nhl games. Hasn't exactly lit up the AHL. And couldn't get time with the big club last year even with how bad Detroit was.

His di rat year in the ahl was good. But has declined since. Maybe a change is scenery but understand why they wouldn’t.

Frost has played more nhl games than him and flashed more potential. Zero reason for him. If im scouting waivers it for depth d men. Youre not going to get a more solid forward than the 13-14 we got off waivers

Looks like Frost made the nhl roster. Him and friedman the 13th and 7th at practice with the usual top 12 and 6. No ghost again. Per bill.

Morin-Bunnaman-Sandin on the Taxi squad would make a line that could practice together.

I've been digging Derek and Riley's Nasty Knuckles podcasts. They've had some good guests on there.

I like it too. It's interesting to see these guys with their guard down. Cheif's interview was the best. His life story would make a great movie. Watching the show makes you wonder if Settlemyre was let go because the players liked him too much. Seems like maybe he was making things too fun and relaxed for the players. Cote comes off as a little sad and regretful about his career.

Pictures of Chara in the Caps practice jersey is really difficult to process.

He shouldn't be the 13th forward once the Phantoms start.

not sure if im missing sarcasm here or not....but in case serious, no he was not. He signed a 2 way at a typical AHL tweener value.

Still worried about the D a bit, but those forward lines look pretty balanced to me.

He was a roster bubble player and still is. I don’t remember anyone saying anything more. I do remember a conversation about roles he could fill if he works into the lineup.

Incredibly difficult to make this team if you weren't here last year. Club had a ton of success. Brought almost the entire nucleus back. If ghost was healthy id suspect even gus sitting out at first. Sandin very well could make the flyers in season and I expect him as a taxi squad member with bunny from AV comments.

The East Division looks tough and things will get quite nasty since we will be playing the same teams all season long, just like things getting heated in a 7 game playoff series. The days of having a goon on the team are long gone. Who would you consider an "enforcer" type player on the 2021 Flyers, kind of like how Simmons played, but still fought on the ice?
