The Fan Blog : Anton Frondell Could Be a Flyer Soon…Who Wants him? +Coach David Carle

If he is there at 6 or 7 for sure.

need a big L tonight. MM gets 2, TK and Coots keep playing well, JD and York play well, Tip etc, build a little confidence, but lose 5-4, it will not hurt the GAA or Save %

Thanks for the post Hockey Buzzard. I enjoyed it. $1 Swedish Prospect?

only watched first couple minutes, but that was some low energy stuff

Read a very interesting idea about potential offer sheets this summer. Even with the cap increasing, some teams will have cap issues. DAL will have about $5 million in cap space in the summer. Briere could offer sheet Mavrik Bourque at a 2nd round tender for around $4.6 million. Considering the Flyers have 4 2nd round picks, using their own 2nd round pick to acquire young NHL talent would not be a bad idea.

Tocchet in Philly soon.

Book it.

He’s technically a C, even if he’s been playing RW for the Stars this year.

That is a lot of money for a .35 PPG player - They should have just kept Frost

For a former low 1st round pick in his first full NHL season playing 3rd lines minutes, it’s not bad. It’s a case of where your scouts see his potential peaking over the next few seasons, and whether or not they still view him as a C. Of course, not knowing what system he’d be playing in hurts in that regard…

There certainly is risk with this type of signing because Briere would be projecting the player to elevate production after signing the contract. Armstrong signed Holloway for 2.29 mllion/yr coming off a 6 goal season. Looks like a bargain now. If Briere signs a player for only 1 year and the player under performs, the player is still a RFA. The team just does not have to tender the player at the end of the contract.

Jake Pelletier was technically a C at lower levels too, but it's probably just not happening at that size.

If you're gonna go the offer sheet route, cash in a top-40 pick, it had better be for somebody with a LOT more upside and positional relevance than Bourque.

Fedotov in goal tonight. Shaw confirms Risto is gone for the year. Have a feeling Risto won't be moved till the deadline of his last year of his current contract as a rental. Just the reality at the moment.

Pelletier was a W by the time he got to the AHL. Bourque scored at > ppg last year in the AHL as a C. He also has 2” and 10 lbs. on JP. So, it depends on what your scouts tell you.

I love the "undersized" angle from the Flyers. I wonder what that makes Cale Makar?
