Agree from last thread, Andrea start in LHV, can always call up mid-season/trade deadline. On Attard, he should have to grab a spot but his play in LHV. Even a little improvement by mid-season should earn him a call up.

I have to think the Flyers will be active at the deadline, not just shopping nhl roster players but prospects. Seeler, Staal, Grans, walker, Zamula, Brink etc. if all take a small step, Briere can re-shape the system. It seems the Flyers in time, will have to decide to move players, there could be a logjam in the bottom 4, definitely 3rd pair and bottom 6. Am I wrong to be optimistic?

Saw that, hope it is just being smart, seems multiple players from that case did the same.

Andrae start in LHV


I believe his Swedish team can ask for him to play in the SHL if he doesn't make the NHL to start the season.

And why would the Flyers be in a rush to get him on the big team? He's only 21 and just starting his ELC. And they have Zamula, Attard, Ginning and Grans as other D prospects.

And put a Darth Vader photo up? Maybe he’s hinting he’s pure evil.

He might be concentrating his social media activities to just TruthSocial.

Yes, but HV71 recently posted on their official Instagram a thank you to Andrae for services to their organization and best wishes for his "new adventures" in his career: the implication being that the organization gave Andrae the go-ahead to stay in North America even if sent to the AHL.

Bill spoke about this earlier. The Swedish league gave him permission to stay in the US and play in the AHL.

If I remember correctly, his Swedish team granted him permission to remain in NA regardless of if he makes the Flyers or not.

I wanna point something out about Provorov’s career high of 41 points and Giroux’s career high of 102. Did anyone happen to notice they were both during the same season of the 2017-18 season? Sean Couturier’s first 76 points also the same. Jake Voracek’s 85 points also the same season.

Maybe it wasn’t just Voracek’s play that dropped (definitely possible) but the entire team’s production has dropped.

That's good news.

It's still hard for me to see where he fits on the Flyers defense unless they were gonna give up on Zamula. There's also a chance Briere signs another cheap vet dman before the season starts.

It was also Ghost's career high of 65. That team had a 1st line and a 1st pairing that were well ahead of the rest of the team apart from TK who had a very Frostian stat line:

81 GP, 47 P (44 ES, 3 PP)

Maybe Sanheim gets traded. Walker, Seeler and Stall are gone after this season. Let Andrae develop in the AHL for a bit.

Maybe a package deal for Couturier and Sanheim to somewhere. 15 years of combined term with a NMC and a NTC to work around. How hard could it be?

It will depend on what Andrae shows at camp….same with Attard. If they come in a show they are ready then DB will need to act. If they start in the A then we just have to assume they aren’t quite there. With Attard he really isn’t that young anymore. Kind of has that Allison vibe about his future.

Does Ginning get a sniff of the NHL? Was solid for the Phantoms last season.

That was also the year Ghost had 65 points, so I have to wonder how much that factored in.

they can both outplay the vets and they still will not play.

There D is set as of today. The coach/co-gm isn't sitting any of his vets. If he does I will gladly say I was incorrect. There is no path for Zamula Attard Andrae at the moment.

I can also see Seeler or Staal given an ext at some point. Wouldn't be surprising at all
