Where do you think Brian Boyle ends up?

Keep going back to that desperate, empty, three month old well. Looks great on you.

Frost will need a year in the AHL, and if he adapts well will get a call up to play WING. He will never be an NHL center.

What is this based on?

Finally, the Flyers NEED to give Vorobyev every chance to make the team in camp, and SOMEBODY, maybe Thierrien or Lappy or John Riley needs to sit him down and tell him like it is - he has the talent to be an NHL center, he needs to decide if he wants it. Somebody needs to tell him he is MUCH better than Laughton, so go take the job. Because when he gets sent to Lehigh Valley, whether its the end of camp or like last year after making the team and flaming out, he definitely won't be back in Philly, and he probably will be headed to the KHL (if he's lucky).

Can they wave some medallion in front of him to hypnotize him to convince him that he's better than Laughton? Laughton is a solid NHL forward.

Vorobyev is nowhere near the player Laughton is.

Of course not.

No opinion on who signs him ?

Agreed, the 4th line could be its best in a long time. Depends what happens to that last top nine spot but things look like the Flyers could have a nice checking 4th line with some scoring upside.

Best only if it's - Raffl/Laughton/Pitlick And, with your definition of what is a good 4th line, "nice checking 4th line with some scoring upside". I think the Flyers management did a good job pulling these guys together. I hope one of them do not jump to the third line. I'd rather put the "player to be named later" on the 3rd line wing.

All these guys can skate, hit, and agitate. There goal is to avoid GA and wear out the other teams top lines. Score when you can, but the team shouldn't be relying on goals from the 4th line. And, these guys should be the PK guys as well, resting line one and two..

I hate when they waste a fourth line spot on either a goon who can't skate (although, those days are gone), or a top-notched scoring rookie and expect him to play defense on the 4th line. Teach them to play defense in the AHL or the third line.

Vorobyev is nowhere near the player Laughton is.

Not last year, but he is three years younger.

Don't forget 22 year old Laughton spent almost the whole season in the AHL and was being written off as a bust on this forum.
