Think he's looking to leave and get a fresh start elsewhere?

Regarding Patrick, I’m not stressed on him. He is talented. We have seen flashes of it. He is better then he showed this year. He knows this next season is huge for him. Low risk for Flyers. If he makes a real stride then great and if not they’re not locked in.

Let him and Lindblom get a full off season and camp.

At this point it would be a surprise if he turns into a regular in the top 9. It might sound pessimistic but the kid was spoon fed opportunities all season, and even before that. There’s nothing to stress because he has been awful , it is what it is now

One of my brothers did...no the shoulder was not the same. He also was not a hockey player. He could no longer play basketball because of the shoulder and feet issues. Instead, as a kid, he woke up everyday and taped up both feet himself, and he became a baseball pitcher (other arm, I believe) and was quite good.

I am not sure how the injury will affect him, but I don’t think hockey players have to regularly put both arms above their head, in motion and bearing some weight.

Frost is healthy now and has a full offseason to work out and skate. There may be some things he should not do...like basketball IDK...but I am sure his doctor and the Flyers are aware and helping him.

Yes arms above head is one way to pop out, however there are many ways that make the shoulder come out, but point taken....

He may wear a brace which in turn cold hamper release who knows....Hope he is someone like Aho would be great....
Think he will be like Aho only in the Ahl though.

I might be in the minority, but I love Wilson. Plays the game with some snarl, and he's got skill. He has crossed the line at times, but he's not anything resembling that POS Matt Cooke.

Nice goal by Wilson, he’s even out there on the PK. Hoping for Washington, nobody likes the Bruins.

I can't say I like him, but the guy has skill. I do fear he is going to hurt someone badly sometime

Every team would love to have a player like him

Sad part about Cooke is he had decent skill. Wilson has a presence on the ice. Cooke was a dangerous scumbag that you didn’t have to account for except hold your breath he wouldn’t injure your players

I find myself rooting for Boston and Im really enjoying Taylor halls resurgence. He’s never been on a half decent team

Sounds logical to me

At least more logical than “I get him off my team, he can’t play hockey!”

It wouldn’t be a surprise at all. He went a year and half without playing hockey. Now he returns and we have high expectations at the highest possible level of hockey. The fact he was able to come back at all is incredible in itself.

Guys, I think it’s clear to this point there is no predicting Nolan Patrick’s future, otherwise he would be a superstar to this point. Let’s let him grow and see what happens.

Agreed... just hope it’s with a different team, because he blows 🤣

Middle six forward is his future, kids skilled but he’s never going to be a star player. Disappointing, but you can’t win em all, all of the time.

Wilson will eventually kill someone on the ice, but glad you folks are fans. Times tours

What a season for Forester. I’ve never heard of a dislocated collar bone, doesn’t sound great.
- ClaudeFather

You’re right. It’s usually apt to break. Not the strongest bone.

Yea, plenty of guys break em, especially as a kid growing up you’d see it but never heard of a dislocated one.

Kid was given every opportunity to succeed this year and didn’t even come close . And I say succeed as in not have the worst plus minus in the league and contribute points here and there. Show you belong. He did none of that.
