Here’s the stat site a lot of posters like. Since the discussion today has been how great ghost has been doing let’s look at the 2 l d positions. Is compared to sanhiem. Which most of us think he’s not having the best year. What does everyone think.

When traded in the summer chuck said three teams were willing to take on his contract. Arizona was the cheapest of the three. The other teams he said wanted our first round pick or York to take on ghost and his cap hit. The rest is irrelevant.

I believe that there could've been that many GM's kicking the tires. They may have thought the same thing that Fletcher did. That they could play him in a lesser role and "fix" him. Fletcher was wrong and I wish the Flyers were outbid.

There's a saying that is relevant here that "you can't fix stupid" as some say that Arizona didn't want Gostisbehere, they just wanted the asset. As they play him as their #2 defenseman and their top PP defenseman. Can't make it up.

Me too!! I am so excited to see Allison in full form. I like his personality that goes along with his game. The guy just seems like a leader while also being laid back and just enjoying the game.Im as huge of a fan of his as I am of the destroyer. Talent aside these two prospects/guys are my two favorite to follow and watch. I hope Allison comes back strong and his game picks right back up
- Bob Habib


I’m guessing a couple more weeks in the a and if it all goes well then maybe we’ll see him back up. Looking forward to seeing him

Wrt Patrick I actually think that the requested a trade as had been reported. I was hoping that wasn’t the case, that he’d come back and show that he’s heathy and could play so that we could get something for him in a trade. Not long after that report came out, he was gone in that trade. He certainly played as if he didn’t care at all to be on the team but that just might be his mints game.

He clashed with AV. Jake clashed with AV. Ghost clashed with AV. All were shipped out and AV got canned because the team regressed and the development of the young players stagnated or regressed. AV (frank)ed us

If true that’s two coaches in a row he clashed with.

I’m looking forward to it, too.

But honestly, we’re looking at a capable 3rd liner if Allison pans, right?

I like the kid. I really do. I don’t have high expectations. Reminds me of when we were excited for Lindblom.

Lindblom is one of those players that if they trade him. We'll be wondering why he didn't play that well here.

Yeah. I could see that. Still, if he’s never gonna progress here, what do you do?

kicking tires and "7 others offering a 1st round pick" is something entirely different. I am always referring to the latter when I bring this up

Figure out what's keeping him and other players from progressing and fix that.

Agreed.


We know which GM made the best offer unfortunately.

Stay classy PT21. This ranks right up there with the time that you tried to use my Father's passing against me. I've never said something like that to you or anyone else. True colors of a person always come out.
- MJL


No, it was a lob that I put away, and you deserve it for the babble of a post you put up earlier.

And yeah, yet again with the dad's death thing, huh? I thought we dispensed with that last summer (post at 8:50 PM)

That advice, harsh though it may seem, was well-intentioned and it stands.

Here is the difference between you and I. You just don't make a reply like that and bring a person's family into it. Just like you did in the past. Even if you think a post is babble. I'm glad you linked it again so everyone can see just what kind of person you truly are on top and your most recent indiscretion.

As far as my post being babble. It was just pointing out that you don't understand the trade market.

I expect a third liner but we’ll see. First part of 2019 lindblom was looking like a top 6 player.

Dude has missed 90% of the games this season

but hey, its not like his groin is injured every year -- it will be some other body part for the next five seasons that cause him to miss significant time

Multiple outlets reported the same thing. Fletcher talked about it in his press conference.
