Bill,
In your article you mention Santeri Sulku missed last season due to injury. didn't he have some serious legal issues?

Separate issues but yes.

Thank you Bill, enjoyed reading all of the articles. I know the Flyers are in a rebuild but I enjoy reading about the future. They seem to have a good prospect pool. I like the take from Charlie on Cutter. I liked seeing the size and skill with Cutter and Foerster, then the size on the back end and the other prospects, seems like a good mix. I really hope Tuomaala surprises this season, he hits his ceiling and it changes the prospect pool.

You can see 2024 and 2025 drafts will be key, add 3-4 more top prospects, use all your other picks and hope to hit the lottery and we have something heading in the right direction.


I come away with the same feeling I had, the Flyers will turnover a good part of the NHL roster and Briere will try to do it this season and the next draft. I can't see Laughton staying. I think they will attempt to trade any D not named York.

Last year was a tragedy for the NHL club but it was the first season the team and the prospects had a reasonably healthy season, that was a step forward, value for most has risen. I just hope for the same this season, that should lead to a good off-season of opportunities for DB and the Flyers. DB was right to be patient this summer.


Bill, thoughts on Ginning? Seems to be under the radar but am I correct, he quietly had a good season last season and plays an NHL game?

Appleturd thinks pretty much every flyers prospect should make the NHL. If they don't it is the flyers fault. Wouldn't put much stock in his analysis.

There is no path for many of the players Bill mentions. Excluding Forest I suppose. He is far from lock however.

In no order:

ex selke - cates - frost - Ryan
joel - tk - GH - ND
Cam - Allison- Laughton- tippet

Allison is on the chopping block imo. I think he will be the extra fwd if not waived. Assuming forest picks up where he left off.

your optimism is noted. Will believe they are rebuilding when I see it happen.

In bold why? I cant see them moving him. They love everything about him and what he "brings"

second escaped from that place using the same strategy both times. maybe time to fix the issue.

Bill, I missed a few days but looked back and did not see any mention on the changes in the Flyers scouting department. Did you cover that or have any comments? Thanks

The cops waited until he tried to enroll in the local 6th grade. But he seemed too small and that raised suspicions.

I am not picking up a fight, but your first word disqualifies your opinion in my view.

Shame the borders weren't secure in January, 2018 when he illegally entered the country.

appreciate the feedback. anything good for lunch?

He flew in to Puerto Rico using his passport then smuggled into Florida...

If he waited a couple years he could of just walked over the border.

in their defense when he registered, he was not identifying as a escaped con.

He should not have been at that prison in the first place, he is a violent offender.

Law enforcement did their job well. No one got hurt. Great ending to a tense couple of weeks.

Yeah maybe we should wait until a non violent offender escapes.

The point is, as far as the residence around the prison know or have been told, the Chester County prison does not house violent offenders. So again I say he should not have been at that prison.

How many other violent prisoners are housed there and why was he sent there?

Amazing how people are just unable to react positively to anything. Law enforcement did their job well. No one got hurt. Great ending to a tense couple of weeks.
- Dkos

Read that the officers had to sit through a storm to make sure he was contained in that area. Great job by them and I hope they get time to rest.
