After watching Tort's press conference yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if Jett stays for now. Torts is once again developing tunnel vision for a certain player. He only sees what he wants to see.

It's going to be awesome watching Torts mold him into a smaller slightly faster Poehling

Good for Jett. I have been supportive of the exposure to the NHL. Whether it is 9 games or the season. It is a good debate about developing more in OHL or on the 3rd line. I can see both.

Or putting a kid who is known primarily for is offense with a Center who for most of his career played solid D and a winger that even though makes offensive zone mistakes hustles back to make up for them.

Then maybe once MM shows he can play some sort of D at the NHL level can be moved to be on a line with Frost.

Coots had a pretty darn good season with Giroux on his wing. I liked the way Michkov looked with TK too. I'm all for this line. I don't really want Michkov anywhere near Tort's whipping boy. I think Frost can be a good player, but probably not with this coach breathing down his neck.

Michkov with Couturier and not Frost. Totorella will do anything to suppress Frost and bump up a very pedestrian looking Couturier

Michkov and TK had some chemistry.

Frost will never be a 1C 😆

Very dumb yet oh so entertaining if Luchanko makes the team.

The gold standard flyers see elite conditioning and have a boner lasting longer than 24 hours. Much like Jonesy sweating a fringe dman that can be physical.

And on top of that, the co-GM appears flaccid and weak, already indoctrinated by those he is surrounded by.

😆

How did I buy into the hype. I liked Hunter because he played for Northeastern and I got to watch him for two years, when he wasn't hurt. He showed promise as a college player and was a leader on the team. I think he has a chance for sure, 50/50 sounds about right based on what I saw this camp. Has to learn to play faster for sure. I was more bought in on Bonk, but honestly I didn't like the camp he had either.

By parroting Keith Jones. You watching him play is irrelevant.
- MJL (dingus)


how many times have you seen him play in juniors, college, or the ahl. What have you seen maybe 1 pre-season game?

you are also parroting peeps as your basing your evaluation on what some others have said since you have no real knowledge of watching him play.

If I was making the decisions, I'd also have Michkov with Couturier but I would switch Konecny and Foerster

Luchanko centering two good wingers while Cates plays? Intriguing to say the least…lot of reasons to send him down….but maybe they think he’s earned it.

Torts has lobbied hard to keep Jett around.

- MBFlyerfan


Yup, the way he talked about him in the BTS "The Standard" videos w/ Danny too... it's all about the kid's conditioning... which is a weird reason to want to keep him around.

you're complete inability to evaluate hockey players makes me very happy that you're not making any decisions


but you gotta love your confidence in how you view players you've never actually watched, like, ever.

I like having TK and MM together, but splitting them up would give them to solid lines.
So I agree

Didn't Torts just go off on Drysdale saying they brought him up to early and the coaches didn't know what they were doing?

I thought he was making an ignorant rant (as he is want to do) about the Ducks but it turns out he was just telling us his plans for Jett.

That's a hyperbole take before the losses in the real season puts them in that no gain nomansland position. 😉

https://www.sportsnet.ca/...knights-lehner-situation/

NHL/NHLPA have reached an agreement on Robin Lehner/Vegas.

Simplest way to put it is this: Lehner’s contract will not count against the cap, but he will still be paid his salary.

“Unique situation,” as all sides have indicated



Ek speculating they might try to do the same for the RyJo situation. I still don't understand how Lehner gets all his money and Vegas still loses the cap hit but i guess if nobody is complaining the league looks the other way.

So my assumption is if Luchanko makes the team Brink does not.

Farabee-Luchanko-Scotty "The Room" Laughton

Assuming Brink is not on line 1, 2 or 4.

They can bail the Flyers out next with regards to RYJO.
Ellis should come off the books as well
