If I’m a Flyer fan, Laughton as his ceiling would be disappointing. No knock on Laughton but for the 5th overall kind of underwhelming.

Was referring to cates

I don’t see Kreider at all, Cutter has much better puck skills than him and I think more of a deceptive shot. Kreider is a very fast north south big bodied player who has a powerful shot and gets goals around the net

Will Cutter ever score 50+ goals tho?

There are 144 forwards currently with 800+ minutes played. Out of those Cates ranks #138 in points/60.

Yeah, the kid is being put out there for his work without the puck, but a guy who's playing with the team's best forwards as the 1C and on the PP needs to be able to pick it up a bit.

It's unfair to the kid in my opinion. He's being put in a spot he's not capable of playing in.

Their plan is totally working on a broad segment of the fanbase. Flyers fans aren't the brightest.

Totally agree with this.

I would bet that even at this point the organization knows the fans have soured on Fletcher and Dave Scott/Comcast.

Have no idea. Was just theorizing that was they used Torts to "write" the message to STHs.

Now we know why Torts sent that letter out.
The flyers played like poop that period.

He usually says this after every loss or win. "We are just playing to find our identity, who cares about the results"

Not a great first period, lucky to be down by only one.

That’s funny, I thought he actually had a couple of noticeable shifts in the O zone.

What bubble? I know what this team is, that is why I want them to sell, sell and sell some more and get a top 5 pick. Nothing has changed.
