In GM mode in capwages I made a trade with Buffalo,

Farabee/Hathaway

for

Rosen & unprotected 24 1st pick


Hoping I am close, I like Farabee but he plays like Kevin Hayes (when he wants to) and if the puck isn't close he coasts way too much. He has good skills but only uses them sparingly. Buffalo is looking for a down low player that's why i included Hathaway.

They don’t need another middling winger in farabee

I think your selling low on Farabee and he is on a friendly deal. Also Hathaway was just resigned so not sure they are moving him.

Also I don't see Buffalo doing that trade.

In my opinion, your description of Farabee as a player is not accurate. For discussion purposes, lets say that it is. Why then is Buffalo going to give up a quality prospect and an unprotected 1st for him?

Farabee would fit in on 2 line lw for buffalo and they are dying for a player like hathaway. To me the value is there.

Doesn't answer the question. Dying for a player like Hathaway? He's a 4th line player in the NHL. Out of one side you're criticizing Farabee and basically calling him lazy and then saying the value is there. To the point of Buffalo giving up one of their top prospects and an unprotected 1st rounder.

I wonder if he has noticed Johnson and Drysdale's struggles. Fortunately for the Flyers, Sanheim and York have been very good so far through two games and Ristolainen is serviceable.

Drysdale can only pray he has a career like del zotto

The kid doesn’t have it. I’ve seen enough

Torts ran Z out there 19min in both games, so seems like he's either letting the kid play thru his struggles or he hasn't noticed him struggling at all.

Drysdale has been fine, and it’s great that he’s taken a few big hits and got right up

I would hope so. Drysdale has been brutally bad in the first two games of the season.

What game are you watching? I only saw Friday's game, but I thought he was pretty bad. He looks as soft as Charmain toilet paper and he provides no offense that I can see. Already a -3 on the season and sometimes (in Friday's game) he looks downright lost. Perhaps I'm being too harsh? I dunno...

It's not too harsh and it's accurate in my opinion. Don't want to put a permanent mark on the player yet but he needs to drastically improve.

Still early days in the season but he's been useless at both ends so far.
