Torts publicly stated Couts needs to play better when asked about it. Do you honestly think Torts would say this in public without first talk to the player? I believe Torts in this instrance, and I don't believe Couts was being honest. Torts also has been very public with Fort's situation, in fact at one point stated Frost was up and down like a toilet seat. Again, no way Frost did not know what he was being benched.

Yes, I do and you need to inform yourself on the history of Tortorella.

Couturier has a history of being honest while Tortorella has a history of not being honest and forthcoming. While being difficult to the press.

Maybe someone here can explain this to me. Elliotte Friedman say, "Kolosov would come over to play for a bit — exhibition games and some AHL, with agreement on a potential return to KHL if he doesn’t stay with Flyers." So he's coming for the rest of training camp and then going back to Russia? Is he still refusing to play in LV?

My guess is the Flyers are hoping to get him over here, get him acclimated and hope he likes it enough to stay and play in the AHL.

no there isnt. cates is being used a center so far in camp. they love laughton.

let me knwo when it happens.

Wheres Cates playing C? Is Poehling, Coots and Frost being moved to the wing? The answer to that is No. That leaves one spot for either Cates or Laughton. They love Cates with Poehling and Hathaway. They arent going to move Laughton down to 4th line LW unless hes absolute garbage

Why would his agent say "Alexei is enthusiastic about joining the Flyers for the upcoming training camp. All previous concerns have been thoroughly addressed and are now resolved." if the Flyers' intention is to have him play in the AHL?

Laughton has played plenty on the 4th line. You keep making predictions on what is going to happen. Have you been paying attention to how Tortorella coaches. He is liable to do anything. To scratch anyone, to demote anyone. Poehling averaged more ES ice time per game last year than Laughton did.

Is joining them for training camp the same as playing for the team in the NHL regular season?

So the goalie is giving the Flyers a second chance to kiss his ass properly, before the season starts, or he's going home?

Maybe, well worth the investment.
