If he chooses Delassandro's he should be hired on the spot.

Who knows if he was even available or what the cost would be but Dumba would've been a better choice than Ristolainen.

In the FL game, anyone else notice the fan rocking the Flyers jersey behind the goal to the right (the Panthers goal for the 1st & 3rd)? He was about 5 rows up, pretty much right behind the net. Just wondering if anyone made out who's jersey it was.

Yes, pretty sure it was a Giroux road Jersey. I think they showed another guy in a Flyers jersey at one point too.

That guy looked miserable every time they cut to him tho. Kind of hilarious 😂

So that means you want a guy who can step in and do his job without too much issue.

Would you prefer an upgrade on Seeler knowing the history with Ellis?

Totally fine with Seeler being a popcorn server in the Comcast suite however with the amount of moves they have to be looking to make this off-season it surprises me that they’d fill a roster spot with essentially an injury backup player before keeping the roster spot open for who knows what may be available in the summer.

bingo, why the rush?

The key part of my sentence that you fail to acknowledge is both defenseman should not be behind the goal line when you don't have possession of the puck.
- jd250


You're wrong again. You are incorrect in that statement. You claim to watch hockey. Pay attention. Most teams play that way including the Flyers.

They didn't fill a roster spot. They still have the availability to add another player. Re-signing Seeler doesn't in anyway prevent them from doing that.

So it’s an AHL deal? Because I’ve seen it reported as a Flyers deal. If it’s a Flyers deal they could’ve let him hit UFA and have an extra roster spot during the summer, no?

Just because zac gives an effort doesnt make him someone we should sign? 3 goals is very mediocre.I would pass but that is just me.i much prefer making room for allison, radcliffe, Lyzcynski,etc.All who have much higher upside.

counts as one of the 50 contracts. 2 years also comical.

Nah have to sign him and Zac now. They will def be 1st day free agency priorities for other teams.

Both Dmen are often behind the net together, but it’s usually in a board battle, and there is 100% coverage in front through the center or all 3 opposing forwards are down with them. This was a different scenario, it was 2 Dmen chasing a guy that was a good 5 feet plus away from both players who would not have gotten to that player before time expired. Kucherov was only a threat once Weegar engaged. End of story. Obviously a great pass too

I saw it as a world class pass by a world class player. Tough to defend perfectly against that.
- landros 2


Seems to me Weegar panicked/forgot time left. If he just stays in his position, that pass could perhaps still get through but Colton doesn't get to be in that ridiculously open position with so much net to shoot at.

And speaking of world class pass, how about Kucherov drifting off towards the boards exactly where Palat's keep-in rims around the boards? Is that anticipation or just playing for a long time with the same guys?

Gee, I dunno!

Typical Flyers fans: arguing about the minutiae of past glory when the new kid on the block has gone ahead of everyone else.

Where by block, I mean the 700 block of south 9th.

Because I am a subtle and refined man (unlike y'all) who operates by innuendo.

Of course, with the caveat that it would depend on the cost.
