My criticisms are completely valid. If you don't think so, take your shot. Good luck to you.

more trolling from the non troller

Of course it matters. Look at the Flyers record and success level in developing players. Just look at the players that were able to overcome obstacles put in their way of bad development and call it good? Not all players will be able to push through. To be clear, my position Cates is not a criticism of playing him at center. The reasons for playing him at center are very valid. My position is that I think he has a higher upside as a wing.

prove the flyers are bad at development. Provide stats and fact to back it up. Surely they are out there?

what is your criteria for defining bad development? step up to plate as you like to say cliff.

So Charlie mentioned on PHLY that the Flyers may be worried about Hart being suspended in early November because of the investigation. He didn't say the Flyers knew anything, just want to point that out.

If Staal plays more than half the games this season then I agree with you. Not sure Andrae or Zamula or any other Phantom is ready to play 82 right now. Hopefully Walker, Staal and Seeler are all moved by the deadline.

Over/under 50.5 games played by Andrae and Zamula?

Combined or each?

That Sharks roster is rough. Gonna be tough the beat them to the bottom

chicago will give them a run for their money, even with bedard. add anahiem and arizona.

York then came up and hit the ground running. I guess were supposed to pretend that he wasn't ready for the NHL in that in between time?
- MJL

Or we could pretend he had a good camp and deserved to be on the team… but then we’d be pretending.

Stating that I think everyone was mishandled, is nonsense. For example, of the players you named. I have never stated that Tippett or Cates have been mishandled in their development.

Never said this. Sounds like a reading comprehension issue on your end

There is no standard applied where every opinion has to be proven. When everyone is held to that high standard. Then you can apply that to me.

Have you ever read what you say to others here? 😂 you’re a riot.

I’m ready for the next. Phil Myers… are 3 NHL teams wrong about him and you’re right?

I don't know, but look at other teams developing first and second round picks. they don't seem to miss on as many players, and their path to the NHL seems quicker. Not every team and player, but the Flyers can't miss on every player they draft....some are highly spoken of by the experts on TSN, etc, yet they seem to stall out and don't seem to have the impact that was expected of them as soon as was expected, if at all. Something seems amiss.
Having Lappy as the AHL coach doesn't help things, and playing different systems between the NHL and AHL teams seems like missed opportunities.

Suspended for what, an illegal check to the head?

They are also digging into a 2003 alleged sexual assault by that years WJC Team.

I really hope Hart is cleared. After you see the same scenario repeatedly both in the news with Team Canada and on Law and Order SVU it becomes a strange reality.

"Zamula and York seem to be fine. In your opinion everyone has been “mishandled” - you claim they’d be farther along but you can’t prove that."

Any comment on Phil Myers or is that something you wish not to comment on?

Just top notch player evaluations

I have never stated that Tippett or Cates have been mishandled in their development.
- MJL

So then the team has handled him just fine, getting selke votes and playing above his weight at center?

is there a difference between “mishandled” and “misused” you’d like to elaborate on?

Is it like the difference between a McDouble and a double cheeseburger?

*fun fact the double cheeseburger has 2 slices of cheese, the McDouble has 1

Any final words on Phil Myers or is this your way on conceding the point by being a coward about it?

Mr Freak I dont disagree. IMO it is more drafting than development.

That is not an endorsement for development. I just want a certain poster to define what he s using as bad development. Then how does it compare to others.

In bold 100%. mind boggling. OR at least have a torts disciple or protege as coach.

LMAO! I went there the other day and asked them what the difference was. I don't eat there often, but my inquiring mind wanted to know. I slept better that night knowing that info. So it looks like the four young players that I wanted to stay up with the big team made it! I didn't backread, but guessing there are still lots of things to whine about. Eh what?

Apparently Risto could play on Thursday, with the Flyers trying to sneak Sandstrom through waivers first.

All I know is before Torts got here, many players were regressing, both on the big club and the minors, including your boy Frost. Now Frost is playing very well, Ersson, Tippet and Cates took big leaps forward last season, Brink and Foerster have made the big club and Zamula most likely will be starting for the Flyers. Even Sanheim has realized he Sucks in his own end and put on 16 lbs of muscle in order to compete harder, and lets not forget the Flyers best defenseman last year, my boy Risto!! That is pretty good progress from an antiquated old-school coach and his coaching staff. Again, it goes back to the basic fact that Torts has done many good things for the Flyers at every level since he has arrived.
