we have a round about way of team building with 1st round picks

Flyers I bet are up there near the top in terms of former 1st rd picks on their roster.

If the isles chose to release him instead of even trying to acquire a 4th rd pick for him that is a little concerning to me.

Even though many in here hate Morgan frost, for whatever ridiculous reason it is, he is still worth a gamble by a more competent player developing team and worth a late rd pick

Why release bellows for nothing?

I have no idea, Nor do I care, but when a former top 20 pick is given away freely it usually tells the story of that particular player, imo. Let's hope a change of scenery is all that he needs but for him to be worth nothing is concerning. It's not like we have a lot of open roster spots. Chuck pissed them away as fast as he pissed away draft picks

He hasnt produced for whatever reason. No shock he was waived.

Sign him!! We are back in the hunt for bedard or fantilli

Feltcher finally doing something right and helping the tank!!

It already sounds like Torts will love this guy!! CF just throwing poop at a wall and waiting for shyte to stick.... signing a guy who will be in Torts doghouse is a solid choice for very very limited roster spots

Solid waiver pick up in Bellows. Low risk. Hopefully he contributes positively to this team.

Agreed. But I would have expected him to have at least a little value. It seems that he and none and is just another depth option for the 3rd line. Yay....

CHUCK claimed Yellow Bellows 😆
- THE EVIL WITHIN


Torts probably wanted him. He can play physical and he fought Pacioretty.

Fletcher contemplated drafting him in 2016 but went for Kunin instead. Typical Chuck move to claim a guy he had or wanted in the past. On the plus side, he has a sneaky good shot and could find his scoring touch.

Rocky Thompson on Frost: "Have seen a lot of good moments, for sure. Very highly skilled. Very fast. Needs to use his legs more to take full advantage of his speed. He's become a good defensive player. Did a good job the other night against Tomas Hertl; a tough matchup."

Flyers MB and social media keyboard Keith Allens: "Shows nothing. Not good enough. Pull the plug."

Hahaha great analogy! Gotta love all the #1s! As many have noted already regarding Bellows, low risk so why not see if a change does him some good.

I love this reference and love the move. What better way to have a team bond then tell them you’ve all been a disappointment thus far. Time to prove them wrong!

No but seriously I did want to draft him that year so this could be interesting.
