I am Jesse Severe of Fan Track's joint by my 6 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:42,920 partner Victor Nunial of Dabber Prospects of Victor. How you doing today? Yeah, 7 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,439 I'm doing awesome, Jesse, definitely looking forward to another team preview. 8 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,119 We have a really great guest on to talk Flyers, and there's there's They 9 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,759 had a little bit of a rough season, but there's always gold to be 10 00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,520 mined, and so some of these guys are going to be interesting and I'm 11 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,679 sure he's have some great takes on what we should be expecting from them, 12 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,680 but we all want to know first, how you are doing? Oh yeah, 13 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,159 Victor. They say it's always sunny in Philadelphia, and that's the dad 14 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,920 joke. That's Jesse's dad joke of the intro today folks that yeah, it's 15 00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:21,200 it's I'm doing good. I'm doing good. We're plugging our way through this 16 00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:23,959 thing, Victor. Behind the scenes, people, you need to know, 17 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,400 we had the most massive recording of Fantasy Hockey life history, and Victor and 18 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,719 I are we're on the downside of it now, but we are doing this 19 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,159 because we want you to have content even when we're out of town. So 20 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,159 we are going to plug through all of these episodes. But I think that 21 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,719 the thing that people should do that would make today even a greater day would 22 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,760 be to check out all the cool things you got going at Patreon. Victor, 23 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,799 why don't you tell people what is in there? Yeah, if you 24 00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:56,359 want to help support the show and get some extra bonus content for yourself. 25 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,560 The Patron Cass and the patrons are going to be participanting in the upcoming June 26 00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:05,599 Patron cast, and that's going to be a fun mock fantasy draft. There's 27 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,039 also the rankings that I do, and so we're looking at all kinds of 28 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,639 forwards, defense, goalie and looking at their upside potential as well as hits 29 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,560 block shot tiers, which is really helpful. A lot of places have a 30 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:23,400 hard time getting that information, so you can definitely check that out. We 31 00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,039 also have other bonus content like top ten lists, and we haven't talked about 32 00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:30,800 this enough, Jesse, but the ability to play in our tier dynasty is 33 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,039 a patron perk and so yeah, we had a great first season and we're 34 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,199 definitely going to be looking to expand that going in the next season. So 35 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:45,159 definitely check that out at patreon dot com slash Fantasy Hockey Life and look at 36 00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:49,000 all the different options in terms of the tiers that maybe you want to support. 37 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,919 You might say, how does a tier dynasty work? And it does, 38 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,560 and it will and it does. Will do join up and you'll see 39 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:00,520 it'll be worth it just to find out how it works, because it's really 40 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,879 cool. But we're going into year two of that sucker and we're looking for 41 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,560 more people to participate. Let's take a break. We're gonna come back and 42 00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:23,639 talk Philadelphia Flyers. Pleased to be joined today by a guy who writes and 43 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:27,960 speaks about Philadelphia Flyers in a lot to places, Russ Cohen of EP, 44 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:32,240 Ringside, Serious, XM, NHL and Locked on Flyers. Russ, How 45 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,000 you doing good, Jesse? How are you? I'm excellent? Ready to 46 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,479 talk some Philadelphia Flyers. It's an enigma. It's a very interesting team, 47 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:45,520 this one, and yeah, we gotta get your insights. We gotta find 48 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,199 out what's going on here in Philadelphia. Six teams ended up below the Flyers 49 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,439 in the standings by the end of the year. It was actually a jump 50 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,599 from the previous year. It was some level of improvement in terms of the 51 00:03:55,639 --> 00:04:02,199 points, and it was an interestingly key season for this team. They started 52 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,159 seven three and two, they won eight of ten following in the Christmas break, 53 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:10,960 and then they had a seven game point streak in late March five and 54 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,759 two. The problem is the rest of the season they went eleven thirty three 55 00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:18,120 and nine if you take out those three streaks. So John Tortorella, he 56 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:24,439 made his presence felt as expected, though maybe the results have not materialized yet. 57 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,240 Two of the three highest paid forwards missed the season, and so did 58 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,560 the second highest paid demand. So injuries cut the legs out from under this 59 00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:35,480 team before it even started, and then we ended up with a front office 60 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,120 shake up after the season. There's gonna be some bright spots. There are 61 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,600 some really good players, some good seasons that we're going to get to as 62 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,600 we go through the players individually. But what is the sense of whether the 63 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,279 Flyers are now on the right track. What do people make of last season? 64 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,519 Russ. Last season, Tortorella wanted to put his stamp on the team, 65 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,199 and he did to some degree. They definitely played harder, but were 66 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,720 some things that were complete missus too, Like when he sent out the letter 67 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,319 and said, Hey, this is going to be a really hard camp, 68 00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:09,879 but we're going to be one of the best conditioned teams. They weren't. 69 00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:12,160 A matter of fact, late in the season, there were games where they 70 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,959 were just running out of gas at times in the third period. Yes, 71 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,560 they were streaky because there were moments when the goaltending was really good and they 72 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:25,279 were getting scoring. The defense was really not great. The defense has had 73 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480 a lot to be desired for most of the season, so it was a 74 00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:33,720 mixed bag. So he put a stamp on things. I think they realized 75 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:40,319 two months into it that the hopes that they had, those faint hopes that 76 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,600 Chuck Fletcher had and maybe even John did, of possibly being at least a 77 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:47,720 contending team were out the window. And that's when things started to shift and 78 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,800 the narrative started to shift. But there were some weird things that went on 79 00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,279 ice time wise and otherwise. Yeah, one guy who undoubtedly was as good 80 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,319 last had a great season. Travis Connectney. We'll start out there, Victor 81 00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:09,160 and I psawm is maybe a lower end top hundred forward in fantasy hockey. 82 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Ended up being the twenty eighth best fantasy forward in the league, and Victor 83 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,959 and I both see him as a top tierctor, tier two of tier one 84 00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:20,040 for this coming year, the star of this team with Jeru and the prior 85 00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:25,560 generation now fully cleared out. He had thirty one goals thirty assists for sixty 86 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,079 one points and sixty games. That's the most scored by a Flyer since twenty 87 00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:32,319 eighteen nineteen as I look back there, so Connectney had a heck of yer. 88 00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:36,600 I think maybe in terms of paciently so he missed games for a couple 89 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:43,920 of stretches to upper body injuries. Offense dropped from league average to not so 90 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,399 great as he skated to the bench last year. They needed him on the 91 00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,879 ice, in other words, to be good. It also marked a tie 92 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,720 for his career high in points and a new high, and his scoring rate 93 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,160 comes with three shots, a hit and over half a block. Still a 94 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,439 value contracted five point five million for two more years. Everything screams out, 95 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,160 this might be one of the most valuable players or trade pieces that the franchise 96 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,839 has at this point. Apparently, mister Torrella would very much like to keep 97 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,720 him around. We'll connect me be with the team all year, do you 98 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,560 think And if so, is he going to be the same type of a 99 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,639 point per game score again all year? I can't tell you. I don't 100 00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:23,600 think he'll get traded over the summer, but I can't tell you he'll be 101 00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:27,000 there all year because there may be a point where they do decide that hey, 102 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,639 with just a little bit of term left on him, is the best 103 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,120 time to trade him right now? And if he's having another good season like 104 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,879 he did last year, he could be a good piece. I think at 105 00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:41,519 twenty five, you're talking about a guy I saw him back in the sixty 106 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,079 seven's days, and he's reached his potential for the kind of player he is. 107 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,680 For sure. Could he sneak in the top twenty five, Yeah, 108 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,040 he probably could. I don't know how many more points do you get? 109 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,480 Maybe get sixty five. I know you're look at him and you say, 110 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,759 well, yeah, at sixty one to sixty that means if he plays eighty 111 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,439 two games. Yeah, but he's not always going to play eight games. 112 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,360 The way he plays. I think he was back to playing his sort of 113 00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:05,959 on the edge. And I know he played seventy nine the year before, 114 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,759 but most of the time you looked at connecting it and it's been a few 115 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,639 years. He gets banged up a little bit, and that's okay. I 116 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,519 mean that's the kind of player he is. But I think when you look 117 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:18,360 at him the way he plays on the edge, time to spend in the 118 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:20,879 penalty box, those kinds of things that maybe take away from some of his 119 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,480 scoring. Definitely goes on long streaks of not having scoring, but he was 120 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,959 struggling a bit this year. At one point, I forget how many games 121 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,480 I was writing it every day. It must have been liked it. Get 122 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,039 to ten or eleven games something like that where he didn't score. It was 123 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,000 something like that and still a really good season. So yeah, he'll still 124 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:43,159 be the top point guy on the team. Awesome. Yeah, that'll be 125 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,840 fun to watch as we As Jesse said, we move into this new era 126 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,320 with these new guys that are taking these prominent roles and one guy that kind 127 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,960 of fits that as well as Owen Tippett. Frankly, I've been waiting for 128 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,759 this Tippet breakout for a while. I knew that he could do it. 129 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,240 I didn't really think it would happen on a team that was as devoid of 130 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:05,919 talent as this Flier's team. I thought that maybe some of the Florida teams 131 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,600 would be a little bit better. He surprised us. Jesse and I didn't 132 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,159 really have him in the top one fifty. He finished seventy seventh, and 133 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,000 we had him as a tier three guy, and he next year. I 134 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,159 think he can do a little better than that up to tier two. Jesse 135 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,919 still has him at the tier three, but twenty seven goals and seventy seven 136 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,399 games is pretty awesome. Twenty two assists to go along with that fifty two 137 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:30,159 point pace. I'm sure if his teammates could have converted a few more goals 138 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:33,480 that would have helped his pdo. Being nine eighty two suggests that this was 139 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,159 reasonable. The Flyers being the absolute worst team in terms of goal per sixty 140 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,080 on the power play didn't help, but Tippet did manage twelve power play points 141 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,080 all the same, and you look at his evolving hockey impacts and his offensive 142 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,799 impacts are really strong. Defensively, he's a little bit below average, but 143 00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,600 also really good on the power play. And his contract he was a four 144 00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:56,679 point two million dollars surplus value according to Dom's model. So I guess the 145 00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:01,360 question Russ is do you think Tippett can take in even bigger step next season? 146 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:03,960 Maybe get up to a sixty point pacer, maybe even higher. I 147 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,919 don't think he can get higher than sixty. I think we're looking like fifty 148 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,279 five fifty in net range. There's a couple of reasons now could if he 149 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,919 was going to get over sixty, he would have to be a lot better. 150 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360 As far as percentage of shots on net, he does not hit the 151 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:24,799 net nearly enough. He misses on a lot of breakaways. He rushes shots 152 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,159 and he misses. Two years ago, I had pointed out that he's a 153 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,480 little bit indecisive at times on the power play when he doesn't think about it. 154 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,279 If you got him Pucket just shoots it, it'll go right in or 155 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,639 right on net. If he's got a quarter of a second to think about 156 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,799 it, then he misses the net. And that's something that he still has 157 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:46,559 to work on. He's definitely improved defensively, But I agree with you on 158 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,279 your assessment. I think he also have to look he had an inordinate amount 159 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,200 of ice time and some of these games, some of these games Tortorella was 160 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,559 given him. There was a game I think he played twenty five minutes as 161 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,639 a forward, so you have to look at that too, because he was 162 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,840 just looking for any kind of offense and he didn't care if he wore tip 163 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120 it out. He was getting offense out of him. So it was a 164 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,240 really good year for him. I think the reason it didn't work in Florida. 165 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,879 I mean I was high on tip It back in his draft year and 166 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,559 I had him pretty highly ranked. The issue was I think they never found 167 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:20,080 a spot for him in the top six because it was a talented team, 168 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,200 and so then after that, Florida was never that great with the guys, 169 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,519 with them flyers. You know, he could find a spot in the top 170 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:33,440 six and at least play with more talented players. So I think he could 171 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,759 hit the thirty goal mark. That's possible. He's not a tremendous assist guy, 172 00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:39,600 but there are times where he could be okay with that, And that's 173 00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,600 why I say sixty is probably the limit you would see for him, But 174 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,240 I could see fifty five next year, and to me, that's a good 175 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,919 year and a good value. I really don't expect that much more out of 176 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,360 him. I think there's a lot of hyperbole about him. But again, 177 00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,600 I've got to see the improvement on the shooting percentage, because that's key. 178 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,960 I looked it up at points in the year, and among the worst of 179 00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:03,879 the league for the amount of ice time he had. Even though he has 180 00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:11,799 twenty seven goals, his most common linemate last year and vice versa was Morgan 181 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:18,639 Frost, and Morgan Frost had really a huge jump over his career rates. 182 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,080 He had nineteen goals twenty seven assists for forty six points in eighty one games. 183 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,440 That was forty six points in eighty one games in his first three years 184 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,759 he played seventy seven games combined, it only had twenty three points, a 185 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,639 big jump. He's good for a hit in two shots per game in just 186 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,960 sixteen twenty one average time on ice. Fourth on the team in power play 187 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,320 time on ice was Morgan Frost, though again that might not be something to 188 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,480 break about with the league's worth worst power play points, but Frost has been 189 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,240 cheap so far in his career evolving Hockey's projecting a raise in restrictive free agency 190 00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:54,960 from eight hundred k about two and a half million. This summer scenario is 191 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,320 more likely. Yeah, it is Philly going to you know, are gonna 192 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,720 get maybe sixty points second line Morgan Frost as time goes forward, or is 193 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:07,279 he going to be like a steady forty point third or fourth liner? What 194 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,320 should we really think that Morgan Frost is going to turn out to be. 195 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:16,320 He really had a good year. Again, everybody went nuts over Tippet and 196 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,080 we're forgetting that. Really, for a lot of the season, Frost was 197 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,120 ahead of them points. Frost is really good on faceoffs. Now he has 198 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,759 turned into at least a second line center, so it depends on his linemates 199 00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:35,200 a little bit. His vision was really good. He was really smart through 200 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,200 the neutral zone this year. He was good on the power play for sure, 201 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,279 but he also was His vision showed up. I feel like him five 202 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,799 on five situations too. His shot is better. He always had a good 203 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:50,960 shot. Now I think he's got a little more behind it because he's gotten 204 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,080 stronger over the last two years. I see him in the locker room all 205 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,879 the time. He's physically stronger, for sure. He's another guy I've followed 206 00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:01,799 for a very long time, So I think fifty five points is the max 207 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,559 you'll see from him. I think if you've got a fifty point season out 208 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,320 of him, you're doing good, because again, he has to He's not 209 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,799 going to play with true top talent if he were able to if they had 210 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,759 a little bit more. Let's say if Forrester were like good enough to make 211 00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,279 the team and he played with him that year, Yeah he could do a 212 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,519 little better because then that would work out, but that might be a year 213 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:30,879 away. So I think fifty points is reasonable for him. As I look 214 00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:35,000 at Flyer's Twitter, as I look at Flyer's pools, Kevin Hayes is the 215 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,720 man who everybody thinks is getting traded this summer. They're hoping he's getting trade. 216 00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,120 I think those are different. Yeah, maybe wishful thinking due to that 217 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,120 contract. Anyway, he was the second leading scorer in the team last year 218 00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:52,120 fifty four points in eighty one games, and yet he's been the defensive liability, 219 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,600 and Tortorella has been focused on improving that. There's a nice article about 220 00:14:56,039 --> 00:14:58,000 putting him on the wing a little bit, and maybe that helped his defensive 221 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,120 numbers. But he said, the kicker here is twenty million dollars over the 222 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,600 next three years, which is a lot of money to pay for what Kevin 223 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:07,919 Hayes will give you these days. If the Flyers are in flux, is 224 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,679 this a guy that the team would look to move, even if it means 225 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:16,559 retaining salary or attaching some sort of an asset, just to reset the roster 226 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:22,919 and acquire more players to the coach's liking. Or could Hayes just come back 227 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,879 and have a sixty five point season as he continues to bounce back from those 228 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,679 core surgeries that really sidetracked him for a while in his career. Yeah, 229 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:35,120 he was healthy last year. There was nothing like holding him back offensively, 230 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,440 for sure. He did his own thing out there, and much to the 231 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:41,600 chagrin of John Torto, you know, there was times where Kevin Hayes was 232 00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:46,799 just floating out there and towards didn't like it. But again, what can 233 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,440 you really do. He is your highest paid guy. He did come through 234 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,559 point wise, but he didn't come through team wise, and so that's the 235 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,200 struggle here now, So do you want him to be your third line center 236 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,000 at the money he's making, I don't think so. So I think he's 237 00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:04,879 still going to end up on the wing. I think he did start the 238 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:08,759 pla him at center again, hoping that he could rebuild his value in that 239 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,600 second half of the season, and it didn't happen at the deadline, right, 240 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:18,480 So I just think he'll end up back on the wing and then he's 241 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,039 a little free or to score points. I think what you're seeing right there 242 00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:26,000 point wise is what he is. And I think that's because again I remember 243 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:30,440 that Kevin Hayes on the Rangers was like always showing that he could do this 244 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:37,919 point wise, and I think the problem here is they got Kevin Hayes and 245 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,759 gave him that contract to work with Lane Vigo. He player. He worked 246 00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,759 really well for Vinyo because Vigno didn't mind some of those other things in his 247 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:48,360 game. Then you switch coaches. It's John Tortorella. Now that coach is 248 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,399 harping on those things in his game. So you're never going to see the 249 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:57,120 maximum amount of offensive output that you can get from him, because there's always 250 00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:02,840 going to be that problem with he and Towards, and Towards will tell you 251 00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:07,119 there's no problem, but there is. And Haze will say everything's okay, 252 00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,720 but it's not. He's just gonna play, that's it. He's gonna soldier 253 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,400 on. He's getting paid handsomely, and so I think right now, I 254 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,880 think he'll be back. I don't think they will attach an asset to him 255 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,680 to trade him. I think that was a bad look after the last time, 256 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,000 and they can't really afford to do that now they need their assets. 257 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,079 Would they take back a bad contract, sure, but again, if you're 258 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:33,440 a rebuilding team taking back a bad contract, the only way that's worthwhile is 259 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,200 if you're saving a year of term or something like that, where you can 260 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,640 get out of his deal a year earlier. You can do that, then 261 00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:44,119 it's worth it to take it back. So again, that's a slippery slope. 262 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,480 I know there's a lot of hope because it's like, hey, look 263 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,079 he scored fifty points, but teams know what he is, and I know 264 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,240 everybody's trying to think that, hey, he'll go to Columbus because it grew 265 00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:55,839 drow. But Yarmour doesn't like paying top of the market value, and this 266 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,759 value is way over what Kevin Hayes is. The Flyers would have to eat 267 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,599 a couple million for probably the length of his contract. And at first I 268 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,799 was told there's no way that's going to happen. No team's doing that from 269 00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:11,839 a lot of different sources. Now I hear it's possible. So if they 270 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,440 ate two million a year off his salary, could he go in a trade 271 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,000 to Columbus and get something in return. Sure, but then you're still saddled 272 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,079 with that two million every year. It's not like I worry about the cap. 273 00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:27,119 I'm going to just go into the world economics a bit and just say 274 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:30,920 I know everybody thinks in another year it's going to go up to ninety million. 275 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,359 But if the economy has a problem after this dead sailing problem, it's 276 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,440 going to affect the NHL too, because then people's secondary that flexible flex income 277 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,279 that they have may not be all spent on tickets, and the NHL needs 278 00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:47,920 it at the gate. So I can't tell you the CAP's going to go 279 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,440 up to ninety and two years. I'm a little dubious about that until I 280 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,440 see what happens with the economy. So I think teams are going to be 281 00:18:55,599 --> 00:19:00,599 very careful about how they handle Cain't getting a big contrack like this, and 282 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,680 even if the Flyers have to eat two million, that's again two million against 283 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,640 your cap every year for no player. So that's something where you have to 284 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,920 decide the pluses and minuses and look at the tea leaves and yes, it 285 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,759 would help their cap situation for sure, But the Flyer's history has been now 286 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,440 that we've cleared the cap, we'll just go sign somebody else, and they 287 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,759 can't go and do that this time. If they do, you better do 288 00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:26,799 it for a lot less and for a lot better reasons, and really just 289 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:33,200 for the time that you're rebuilding. That's my recommendation. Let's talk about just 290 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,599 because we only got so much time, but a couple other forwards that we 291 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,720 got to mention, who are some of the reasons why they can't just go 292 00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,759 out and do that. You got your Scott Latton, you got your Joel 293 00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:47,720 Ferraby, you got your shun Couturier Alton at forty three points in seventy eight 294 00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:51,839 games and all captain, fifth on the team at points. Ferraby also about 295 00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:53,640 a half point per game guy, and the youngest of this crowd at twenty 296 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,599 three. The team's got a long term commitment to Ferraby with five million per 297 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,519 for the next five years, but neither of those compares to the Sean Cochurier 298 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,920 commitment. He's got another what another seven years coming on his contract of seven 299 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,359 point seven five million per that, right is it? Yeah, it's seven 300 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:18,079 more years and he missed the whole year, right, so there are Yeah, 301 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,480 Oh gosh, it's been a while since we've seen Cchuri arguably would be 302 00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:23,519 the best player if he sat on the ice in terms of the forwards or 303 00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:26,839 have you seen him on the practice size? And that's it. And yeah, 304 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,680 worry is back injuries with NHL players is tough. You can go back 305 00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,559 to the Tim curR days and see that when he went to the Rangers that 306 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,119 back injury affected him. It's going to affect Courier the rest of his career. 307 00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:42,839 Now, will he be a number one center? I don't know. 308 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,640 I'll just set the over under at fifty games. Will he play fifty games 309 00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:52,319 at a high level nextual? Like? That's I would like to see them. 310 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,680 That's that's for me. That's the top of the bar for me. 311 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,279 And I don't expect him to be a first line center talent now, I 312 00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:02,640 expect them to be a second or third line center talent, maybe a second, 313 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,359 So it'd be still a big deal if he could play. And there's 314 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:14,599 gonna be probably times where he's going to miss games because of whatever you want 315 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,200 to call it, load management, whatever you want to say. Like I 316 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,559 said, if they can get fifty games out of him, I think that 317 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,640 would be a really good season. And if they did, that would help 318 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,799 their overall situation, would help the penalty kill, would help their points and 319 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,400 all that. Can I count on that as a coaching staff and a team, 320 00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:34,000 No, I can't counter it because he got hurt non contact last comeback. 321 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:38,000 So even though he's skating now, it doesn't matter. What matters is 322 00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:42,119 when he starts getting into and even if he's practicing with contact doesn't matter. 323 00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:47,119 What matters is when he's getting into the games in real situations and getting hit. 324 00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:52,160 And we're not going to know that for a while. Yeah, for 325 00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:55,920 sure. So let's move over to the blue line. Out of these guys, 326 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:02,559 we got Tony D'Angelo preseason victor and I he wasteth best defender in terms 327 00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:04,680 of fantasy, but it looks like it'll be one of our top picks next 328 00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:08,519 year. Didn't have quite the season he had in his last two campaigns and 329 00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:14,480 excluding that COVID year when he was in exile from the New York Rangers. 330 00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,000 But it was certainly a successful year relative to the team context and circumstances. 331 00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:22,400 Forty two points and seventy games, good for two and a half shots in 332 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,039 a block of game. I may not care that his plus minus was negative 333 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,319 twenty seven, five below Kevin Hayes did last on the team, but I 334 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,480 wonder if Torts cares or if he's noticed that. Yeah, not the best 335 00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:37,160 metric, but at some point it might mean something. After all, he 336 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,839 was getting healthy scratched in April, if I saw that right, and the 337 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,000 rest of the defensive minutes on the team distributed similar to the prior year. 338 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:48,599 If anything, it seemed like Deangelos stepped into maybe thirty five year old Justin 339 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,240 Bronze gig, which was an upgrade just in terms of the minutes in the 340 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:56,119 way that they were dispersed last year. And he's owed five million more for 341 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,640 one more year. I'm sure the baggage is not forgotten, but this seems 342 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,279 like an inflection point on this guy who's on his fifth NHL franchise. Is 343 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,160 he a long term part of the Philly plant and should we expect a fifty 344 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,519 to sixty point year. I hear your answer is no, It's definitely no. 345 00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:15,559 It's a big resounding note. By the end of the year, Towards 346 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,799 was finally admitting, yeah, this guy's a third pairing defense so he's a 347 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,279 third pairing power play guy, which in fantasy is fine, right, nobody's 348 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:26,599 going to care about that. He could have done better on the power play 349 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,000 though, like his eleven goals could have been a lot better. There were 350 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,079 a lot of times where he was just passing the puck and not even trying 351 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,720 to get good shots on net, or at least wasn't seeing them. So 352 00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:41,519 I felt he could easily improve that to fifteen goals if things went better on 353 00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:44,319 the power play. Things are going to be rocky with him and towards the 354 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,559 rest of the way. It's just the way it is because he's gonna do 355 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,920 things that Towards likes, he's gonna do things that annoys him. You can 356 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,119 see the amount of penalty minutes. If you're a league that counts pims, 357 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,279 that's great for him being in the penalty box. Being one of their better 358 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,799 power play guys that doesn't help the team. So in the end, I 359 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,839 think right around what he got last year is right around would have get this 360 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,119 year, and I think he'll get traded at the deadline. I think that's 361 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,680 the plan here. I don't think anybody's gonna take him over the summer at 362 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,759 the full rate, and I don't think they'll discount him, so I think 363 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:19,640 they'll use him and then eventually trade him. Gotcha the guy who I don't 364 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,599 know. You're gonna have to talk me into. This guy one or the 365 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,359 other. Yvon Probroff, the other big defenseman here. Not long ago, 366 00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:30,240 I thought of him as a low end, solid but unspectacular franchise d one, 367 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:33,799 one of the low end guys. His number one Matching Hockey Reference in 368 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:38,319 point cheers per year came up as Ryan Poolock from recent years, and I 369 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,000 felt like that, like the guy who maybe he's not going to be a 370 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:44,880 big power play guy, but he's going to soak up the minutes and be 371 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,960 decent. He's also not really taken on that big offensive role at least in 372 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,559 the box score point every three games, shot in a half, two blocks 373 00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:56,559 and a hit every night, holding down twenty three minutes that's tops on the 374 00:24:56,599 --> 00:25:03,079 club. That's good and a poll in the athletic of professed flyers fans him 375 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,759 want to trade Pearl Broth this summer, second only to Kevin Ay's. So 376 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,039 does Ivan stay in Philly in this new regime and does he keep up the 377 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,799 top minutes on the blue line. If he does, he's going to be 378 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,720 talked about in trades. But the problem is when they trade him. If 379 00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:22,039 they trade him, they have nobody to put there. What are they gonna 380 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,720 do. They're gonna put Ristalline in there. York's not ready to be there 381 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,079 in that spot, so's it'll be really ugly if they do it. They 382 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,279 might do it. I don't think they should because I still think if you 383 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,000 want to develop players, you still need this guy in your lineup. He's 384 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,559 the best condition of the lone of the team. I think a lot of 385 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,920 fans may be mad about him about the other circumstances with the you can play 386 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,680 stuff and Pride night, and I was mad at him about that too, 387 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:49,799 But as far as a player, he gave his all. And it's interesting 388 00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:53,400 you brought up Poolock. I don't think the Islanders have used Poolock right considering 389 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,039 the type of shot he has. Pro Brow doesn't have that kind of cannon 390 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,880 that Poolock has, and so it would overalls getting points. It's because his 391 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,720 shot just hits the net and others are able to take advantage. And then 392 00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:10,079 he is really good at pension. He's really super smart and that's where he's 393 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,799 getting some of his other points from when he does come in that way. 394 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,680 So he can improve on this to maybe thirty points, maybe even thirty five 395 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:21,799 if things were better, If Cam York gets better like that, I could 396 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:23,920 see pro rops points going up a bit. His hits could go up a 397 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,599 little bit more. I think maybe under Towards they will Towards does not dislike 398 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,079 him. There's no issue with the teammates and him other than when he just 399 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,440 upset the team that night. So I think the Flyers fans want to get 400 00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:40,680 rid of him because they're like, oh, look, he's not like in 401 00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:44,880 the top ten of number one defenseman and hey, I saw this guy play 402 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,039 in Hacketsack, New Jersey before he was in the league, and I was 403 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,160 really taken with him. I thought he was the right guy to draft. 404 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,440 He's been a really good player. Yeah, is he like the twentieth number 405 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,079 one in the league. Maybe sure, but again they're hard to find. 406 00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:02,680 Go find one where you know, where are you getting one? Unless he's 407 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,000 thirty five years old or thirty two years old? Where are you getting one 408 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,839 right now? I think it's a big conundrum because he is twenty five. 409 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:14,000 There's a couple of years left I believe on his deal. So for this 410 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,519 year, I don't think they should trade him. I think they could entertain 411 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,319 talks. That's great, but I still think they need him for the developing 412 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,799 other defenseman. They have him on a team. You want to trade him 413 00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:25,960 next summer, fine, that's then you'll be in a different situation. But 414 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,680 I don't think they can afforward you yet. And then point wise, yeah, 415 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,519 he can improve, but you mentioned him. Could you give all those 416 00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:37,880 minutes to Rasmus Rista Line and you're better now. Rasmus Rista Line used to 417 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,960 have a lot of minutes for Buffalo on some not so good teams. Now, 418 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:42,880 look, in fantasy, we're never going to stop loving this guy. 419 00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:48,200 Rista Linon is gold and fantasy because shots, hits blocks, he does all 420 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,640 the in in the old days. He get some power play time too. 421 00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:55,160 Actually evolving Hockey said he had a nice bounce back year. They said that 422 00:27:55,319 --> 00:28:00,119 five million dollar contract that he's got still going actually was about appropriate for some 423 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,559 of the advanced stats. But these days he's not quite the minutes eater he 424 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,079 used to be. He's down to nineteen oh one. He's going to turn 425 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,880 twenty nine at the beginning of the season, and the Flyers have him in 426 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:15,079 a contract for four more years. And I guess I'm curious what the take 427 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,559 is on how thinks of him, just generally. Is he going to survive 428 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,000 this regime change and will risk the line and get an increased role next year 429 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,920 or kind of about the same as he's been used. No, he'll survive. 430 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,440 Towarts liked him by the end of the year. What's interesting is, 431 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,519 I think people in Buffalo and those fantasy people that think about the Buffalo Risto 432 00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:38,160 have to wipe that from their memory. I do. He's never going to 433 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,759 get those kinds of minutes on the top power play and anything else like that. 434 00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:47,799 However, the Flyers did start to use them on the power play again, 435 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,920 and they did start to get more points out of him this year compared 436 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,839 to last year because they saw that once he was more confident with his defensive 437 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:02,000 game. His offensive game did start to come around. So could I see 438 00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:06,200 Risto getting thirty points? I could because if his power play time increases, 439 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,000 he does have a good shot and he is a good passer, And you've 440 00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:11,359 got to figure they're not going to be the worst power play in the league 441 00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:15,480 second year running. Even if they're the move up four spots, that's going 442 00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:18,079 to be more points for him. He's gonna get twenty minutes a game. 443 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,519 So I do think there's more offensive opportunity for Risto lane. And make sure 444 00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:26,000 you leave a spot where we can talk about Farraby because I do need to 445 00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:30,079 mention Farraby as well. At some point. We've never got to him. 446 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:34,119 Oh yeah, sorry, we mentioned Ferraby and we mentioned who was the other 447 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:41,000 one. I think Lawton's where he's going to be, like, I think 448 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,200 that was his career year. I don't know if he can get much more 449 00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:47,640 that. Maybe he gets forty five points. Faraby will get much more than 450 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,200 what he did this year. He just he rushed back with the neck injury. 451 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,000 He's not Jack Eichel. Jack Eichel is a freak of a human being, 452 00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:59,440 and you could see that now and just how his recovery has been Faraby 453 00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:02,720 was a little more immoral, but and he's never going to be the talent 454 00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:04,960 Jack Echo was, but he's better than what showed and he was frustrated, 455 00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:10,440 really frustrated with his play. So I think next year, and we don't 456 00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:14,759 know what this version two point l of Joe Fierby will be right after that 457 00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:18,200 injury. But I think if he got fifty points, I wouldn't be surprised 458 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,640 because he has a much better shot and he could get twenty something goals for 459 00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:25,359 sure. And if he's with the right linemates, if he gets any kind 460 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,160 of power play time, I think those numbers will go up. He was 461 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,160 getting power play time last year, so that's something. And just on a 462 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,400 side with Kates, if Kates isn't the center, he'll get more points. 463 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,799 If he's a center, he's going to be right where he is for points. 464 00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:40,279 All right, let's talk about you mentioned him already, one of the 465 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,160 younger defenseman Cam York. Last year, we didn't really rank tier him because 466 00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:48,920 he was really sure how much he was going to do, but he did 467 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,480 really well in the AHL this past season. Thirteen points in twenty games was 468 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,799 pretty good. He played fifty four for the Flyers. He had thirty games 469 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:03,839 last season, so building up. He had twenty points in his fifty four 470 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:07,160 games played. Twelve of them were primary, so that was nice. He 471 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,279 had a little sprinkling of power play time on ice, and actually his defensive 472 00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:14,240 metrics were really good. And I know the issue with him has always been 473 00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:18,799 that he's a little bit smaller five eleven one seventy five, but he really 474 00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:22,240 jove play pretty well and had some pretty good offensive contributions too in a little 475 00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:26,720 bit of power play time he got. And so looking into next year, 476 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,640 I know some of us are really jonesing for him to take that big step 477 00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:33,839 next year. You think he can play over twenty minutes. He was at 478 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,480 nineteen thirty nine this year. Can he get over that hump and then maybe 479 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:41,240 get up to the forty five point pace. He could definitely get to the 480 00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,799 twenty minute point. His defense was better. He his thing is he still 481 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,279 loses some puck battles for lack of physical strength. Even though he took that 482 00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:52,640 picture a couple of years ago showing that he was more pumped up than he's 483 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,799 been, He's still a work in progress as far as winning physical puck battles. 484 00:31:56,839 --> 00:32:00,160 So as far as if he's going to be a pairing defenseman, I'm 485 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,200 still not sure that's where he's going to land his career. He might be 486 00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:07,039 better off as a second pair, but right now on this team, that's 487 00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:08,519 where they have him, and he's playing the off side. He did that 488 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,279 very well. The issue with Cam York though, is his shot is not 489 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,799 he doesn't get it on net at all. Like his shooting percentage was awful, 490 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:22,160 really awful, And if that improves even slightly, then yes, he'll 491 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,480 get to the thirty point mark. The problem was when I used to watch 492 00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:30,160 him with the NTVP, there are a lot of other guys that could score 493 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,640 on that powerplay, so he didn't always have to shoot with the flyers. 494 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,599 Now when he is on the power play, they're expected in the shoot a 495 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,640 little more and there's some hesitancy there and that's probably because of his age. 496 00:32:40,079 --> 00:32:44,440 So that's the part that you know, and he's twenty one. I know 497 00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:45,519 some people will say he's a veteran, he should do it now, and 498 00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:51,039 it's sometimes defensemen take until twenty four to twenty five to really get to their 499 00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:53,599 peak. But he needs to hit the net. If Cam York could hit 500 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:58,960 the net more, then you're looking at maybe eight goals and maybe thirty something 501 00:32:59,079 --> 00:33:02,160 points. I think that's more realistic for next year. Provov helped him a 502 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,000 lot, and Krovorov liked him as a pairing so a pairing mate, So 503 00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:10,480 I think that could still happen. But I don't know if you're getting any 504 00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:13,640 more than that this year, unless all of a sudden, like I said, 505 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,119 all of a sudden, his shot is hitting the net like Gosti spirit 506 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:21,680 used to. Yeah, good points there. I wanted to ask you just 507 00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:25,759 briefly. I know this probably isn't very likely, but mL Andre is someone 508 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,000 who is someone that we've been pretty excited about as a prospect. He's also 509 00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:35,200 a smaller defenseman, even smaller at five to nine, but he's been playing 510 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,920 pretty big roles in the SHL for HP seventy one. How kaols fence In 511 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,720 came over and did some HL time, and he was really excellent at the 512 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,279 last year twenty World Championships. Just wondering if there's any chance that he makes 513 00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:51,880 the team, plays a role for the Flyers this season, or is at 514 00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:53,720 HL time for him all right? So one thing to add on York. 515 00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:57,440 So just to give you the actual shooting percentage, it was four point eight. 516 00:33:57,559 --> 00:34:00,759 It was nine point one the year before. He's got to get back 517 00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:02,799 to at least that. That's what I was talking about. So Andre is 518 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:07,079 a really good guy on the power play and actually even though he's smaller, 519 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,360 he's feisty. He will hit you, he'll do all those things. But 520 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,679 I did see at a little hesitancy as far as being the same guy over 521 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,639 here in North America that he was in the SHL, probably because of the 522 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,400 change of ring size and everything else. I think he needs more time in 523 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,639 the A. He may not need another full season because he got some time 524 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:29,360 at the end of the year there, but he's going to need probably half 525 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,079 the season in the AHL before you could really see what he's going to do. 526 00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:36,719 So I wouldn't power the Flyers. I wouldn't rush him in there because 527 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,360 he can end up being like a number two power play guy for them down 528 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,679 the line because he's really good at that. Plus give you really good minutes. 529 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,960 But I don't think he's quite there yet. Sounds good, Yeah, 530 00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:51,280 So that's the defense. Let's move over to the goalies. Now, the 531 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,639 Flyers had eighteenth expected goals against for sixty two point seventy three, but conceded 532 00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:01,360 the twenty third number of actual goals and they were quite a bit below expectation. 533 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,159 But that wasn't on Carter Hart. He was quite a bit above that. 534 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,440 The other guys let the team down, I guess you would say, 535 00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:12,960 but let's start with Heart. Super solid season for him, especially considering the 536 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,719 team in front of him. Fifty five games played, almost eleven goals save 537 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:22,199 above expected delta. Fenwick was point five six, really good there, and 538 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,480 he had a surplus value according to Dom's model in terms of contracts, just 539 00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:30,039 a little bit over the four million he's getting. And this is his last 540 00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:34,840 year at three point nine million for Heart before becoming an RFA. So I 541 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,039 guess he's had a little bit of up and down in his career. I 542 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:42,320 think he maybe had the starting role earlier than maybe he was ready for, 543 00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,360 had a couple of down years. Of course there was COVID, but he 544 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,119 seems to be back or I guess that's the question. Is this what we 545 00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:51,840 should Is this type of production from Heart what we should expect moving forward? 546 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,440 Yeah? I think it is the confidence as they have the maturity he's physically 547 00:35:55,519 --> 00:36:00,679 stronger. He was mentally locked in on a lot of games that boy it 548 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,400 looked really bad with the Flyers and he was keeping him in it. So 549 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:07,199 the numbers are good. He's got extraneous circumstances right now. I don't know 550 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,400 if they'll offer him a contract or even see where he's at contract wise in 551 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:15,119 the summer until the stuff with Hockey Canadas squared away. It's not fully squared 552 00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:17,599 away yet, so that's something where that might roll into the season now, 553 00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:22,480 and so then they may not know where he's going to be in contract wise 554 00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:28,159 until maybe deep into this season. If he's willing to negotiate during the season, 555 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,840 I think they would bring him back for four or five years for sure. 556 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,519 But I think all those other things have to happen. As far as 557 00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:37,639 his play, his play is really good. I don't think he could do 558 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,599 much better, though, just because of what's in front of him and what 559 00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:44,079 will be in front of him. I think their defense can improve a little 560 00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:49,519 bit. Sure. Again, I know it was like a lost leader when 561 00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:52,800 it was mentioned, and it's true. It's a fact that they improved, 562 00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:58,039 like when Jesse said they improved point wise, they did, but some of 563 00:36:58,119 --> 00:37:00,280 that has to do with how the other teams in the league played too, 564 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:05,119 and how hard they were playing. And sometimes the Flyers beat some teams just 565 00:37:05,199 --> 00:37:10,119 by showing up, just by playing hard, and so that part I think 566 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,280 is going to play into this with Carter Hart. Two. I think they 567 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,119 overplayed them, and you saw at the end of the year they started arresting 568 00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:22,119 them a little bit more because I feel like they thought they overplayed him too. 569 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,039 So I think you want to play him about fifty fifty games, that's 570 00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:30,119 it. I don't know if I want to play Carter hard anymore because you're 571 00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:34,320 talking about I don't have the stats. That's your guy's job. But he 572 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,400 was as far as like high leverage chances against, he had to be probably 573 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,039 one of the three or top three guys in the league as far as facing 574 00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:45,239 that and high danger shots. That's what you're worry about with Carter Hart. 575 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,440 But as far as actual fantasy production, he'll get it. Is he going 576 00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:52,440 to get enough wins for somebody? I don't know, Like, you probably 577 00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:55,440 want to have another good goalie even if you have Carter Hart. Yeah, 578 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,280 it certainly depends on what kind of league you're in. If you need volume 579 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,639 and saves like he's going to be good for that, but in terms of 580 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,159 wins, yeah, maybe maybe not. And in terms of the other guys, 581 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,920 Felix Sandstrom Samuel Erson, these are two guys that you have been in 582 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:14,400 the system for a while. They Sanstram is a bit older at twenty six. 583 00:38:14,559 --> 00:38:16,440 They he had twenty games, Orson had twelve. He's twenty three, 584 00:38:16,519 --> 00:38:21,400 so he's just a year younger than Heart. They both but both of them 585 00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:24,360 not so good in terms of like their raw numbers below nine hundred, say 586 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,920 percentage, but Sandstrom struggled a lot more. His goal save above expected were 587 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:34,519 negative ten Erson was pretty neutral at point one seven and Sanstrom's delta Fenwick was 588 00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:39,159 way negative compared to Urson's neutral. Part of this is wondering what, as 589 00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:45,079 you said, they're gonna they can or should limit hearts starts a little bit, 590 00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:49,400 so then who gets the rest of the starts there in terms of the 591 00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:54,079 backups. And we have Sanstrom another year before he's in RFA, and then 592 00:38:54,159 --> 00:38:58,599 we also have Urson in the same boat and I mentioned a bit younger, 593 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,760 So what do you think is going to happen in terms of the rest of 594 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,039 the starts there? For the Flyers. Yeah, the problem with Sandstrom is 595 00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:06,639 he's out of options, right, So he's one of those guys. If 596 00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:08,760 you start calling him up and down, somebody's going to claim him at some 597 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,880 point. That's why they ended up having three goalies for a while. Person's 598 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,360 the favorite of John Tortorella. So Urson's going to get most of the starts. 599 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,280 You could look at the win loss. Obviously Urson did much better, 600 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:27,039 but I also think sometimes Sanstra was thrown in there and brutal circumstances against tough 601 00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:30,400 teams while the team was on a big time losing streak just to give Carter 602 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,800 Hart a blow, and I don't think that helped him numbers wise. So 603 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,719 Erson will be their backup. He'll get the lion's share of the backup. 604 00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:40,960 He had a good winning percentage with the team, but that sort of was 605 00:39:42,039 --> 00:39:45,119 just one of those, I think situations where he came in played right. 606 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,039 They won some games, I want to say, won five in a row 607 00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:52,320 something like that, and it wasn't going to be sustainable for the type of 608 00:39:52,360 --> 00:40:00,039 team that they are. But Urson will definitely be their backup. Nice and 609 00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:02,159 I know that I saw an update from you and I just want to hear 610 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,199 if you have more, but I haven't fed. At top is the guy 611 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,239 that you know has a lot of potential, has a lot of upside. 612 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:13,000 I know that he's he was in Russia and stuck and they were penalizing him 613 00:40:13,039 --> 00:40:15,880 for trying to get out of there. What is the update on him in 614 00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:19,760 terms of his long term future. Yeah, he's there to play. I 615 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,800 don't think he's gonna ever come unless there's a regime change in Russia. So 616 00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:30,679 you can, as a Flyers fan, really hope to see him because he's 617 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,119 gonna be there, and he's gonna be there. He's back in the league, 618 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,079 so that means he fulfilled his commitment to the military. But that's it. 619 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,159 He's not going anywhere. So yeah, it's a shame. Some of 620 00:40:43,199 --> 00:40:46,119 those problems were his own problem that he caused, and then some of them 621 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:52,239 just because it's horrible the way things are there. So if you're a Flyers 622 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,840 fan or a Fantasy fan, if you have him, don't hold on to 623 00:40:53,960 --> 00:41:00,840 him. A shame, it's a shame. Yeah, this has been great 624 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:06,679 information us on the Philadelphia Flyers. Why don't you let people know all the 625 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,320 different places that they can keep up with your work. Sure, Like you 626 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:15,239 said, ep rank side right now. I've been doing lots of draft articles 627 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,039 over the year, and I just put one up on the Fisher so that 628 00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:22,440 one just went live this morning so people could check that out. It's unlocked. 629 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,559 That's good. Sportshology dot Com is my website. There's also a fair 630 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:30,639 amount of draft info on there. That's where my mom not my mock. 631 00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:32,559 I almost said it because I'm doing a mock in a week. I don't 632 00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:36,079 like mocks, but that's where my rankings have been. So I have five 633 00:41:36,159 --> 00:41:38,920 different versions so you can see how the metamorphosis of that is. So, 634 00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:43,119 yeah, the rankings are up there. Five point zero is up there. 635 00:41:43,559 --> 00:41:46,960 We have a show call off the Post that's once a week usually Sunday mornings. 636 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:52,840 Do the buzzcast every day and then sprinkle in locked on flyers every day, 637 00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:58,639 and yeah, I stay busy, and then full Press Coverage. I'll 638 00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:01,599 be doing more draft stuff for them as well. Full Press Hockey is actually 639 00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:05,039 that I do. Full press coverage is actually baseball. You don't want to 640 00:42:05,039 --> 00:42:07,840 hear about baseball in the show, but I do that too. I want 641 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,880 to hear about baseball, but victory victory would drop off, so we can't 642 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,400 do that, all right. Thanks, thanks Ross, this has been great 643 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,440 stuff. Thanks for coming on the show. Okay, see you guys. 644 00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:30,199 Wilson. That's good fire. Oh my goodness, go without cat quick grab. 645 00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:42,000 Now it's your weekly goalie Talk with Cats Silverman Cat's Instincts and time for 646 00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:46,360 another Cat's Instincts with Cats Silverman Ben goldmag and we are gonna talk, of 647 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:53,000 course, Philadelphia Flyer prospect goalies now. And I want to start with probably 648 00:42:53,239 --> 00:43:00,800 the most confusing, and that is Ivan fedatof And yeah, he's also the 649 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:06,440 most exciting, I think, perhaps but also risky, scary, who knows 650 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,760 what the adjective is. But if for those of you who haven't been following 651 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,920 the news, he was trying to leave last year to come over to North 652 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:20,519 America and he was basically thrown in military jail and didn't play all of last 653 00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:24,880 season, and it came out this recently that he was gonna play again, 654 00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:30,280 but in Russia, potentially for the rest of his career. So I don't 655 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:31,960 know if you have any more insight on any of this cat, but he 656 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,679 is a when he plays, he's a pretty great goalie. But I think 657 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,079 it's pretty unclear that he'll ever come to North America. What do your instincts 658 00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:45,400 tell us on Ivan Fedatov. That's I so at the top of my notes 659 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,840 for Philadelphia, just as Philadelphia, Boy, do they need it, because 660 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,519 this is a team that's so desperately needs goaltending. And it's too bad because 661 00:43:54,559 --> 00:44:00,039 Ian is, I would say, their most clear cut NHL ready. Like 662 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,639 every game I've watched him play, he looks stellar. He looked like he 663 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,400 was he looked like he was NHL ready when he made the announcement that he 664 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,719 was going to come over to North America. And he had smart reads, 665 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,400 he was patient, good depths, plays well on the power, play on 666 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:22,039 the penalty kill. He looked like their best bet last year. And I 667 00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:24,960 think that they hoped that he was their best bet last year because they didn't 668 00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:29,159 sign anyone else. And then, like he said, he got thrown in 669 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,400 military prison, and he got thrown in a prison camp. At one point, 670 00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:36,360 there were rumors that he had been hospitalized, that he'd fallen ill while 671 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,639 he was there. I'm always really hesitant to speculate too much on that stuff 672 00:44:40,639 --> 00:44:47,440 because I don't want to cause any has any damage to any players livelihood or 673 00:44:47,519 --> 00:44:51,360 well being by speculating that, oh, he's going to make it to North 674 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:57,000 America or oh he's not. But if he makes it over, I think 675 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,880 he and Carter Hart would be just an absolutely dynamic well. But there is 676 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,599 no guarantee. He plays for CSKA Moscow when he is in Russia, and 677 00:45:04,679 --> 00:45:09,880 that's a team that, putting it very loosely, hand picks their players to 678 00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:14,239 do well, and they have a lot of good resources and a lot of 679 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,920 good goaltending coaching, and it's a great place to succeed if you're a goaltender 680 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,519 if they let you come to North America. If he wants to come over 681 00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:25,079 to North America and they let him, that'd be awesome. If it seems 682 00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:30,280 like he's going to have to continue playing over there, it's Philadelphia's loss. 683 00:45:30,599 --> 00:45:34,159 I truly have no idea if he's going to make it over. I feel 684 00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:40,400 like last year it's still very stubbornly showed under the twenty two twenty three season. 685 00:45:40,519 --> 00:45:45,960 Philadelphia Flyers for his name for the longest time and then finally they took 686 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,719 it away. And right now it says that's where he's projected to be for 687 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,559 this year. But I just don't know. So if he makes it over, 688 00:45:52,840 --> 00:46:00,320 I think that's a huge pickup for Philadelphia, But obviously there's no guarantee 689 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:06,519 that he can do that, so I think they probably need to look at 690 00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:10,280 him almost as a backup option at this point. Yeah, who knows with 691 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,760 him. He is someone though that I think if he does come to North 692 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,480 America and he's available in your league, you want him because he has all 693 00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:22,480 the potential to be a starter. Yeah, I think, I truly think 694 00:46:22,559 --> 00:46:29,159 that the best chance for success in Philadelphia is a one B situation where they 695 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:34,320 give carter Hart and whoever is his one B ample rest to play behind that 696 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:39,760 defense. But I would assume unless carter Hart really rebounds that if the autop 697 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,960 comes over, he would be there one A. That would be my guess. 698 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,800 Yeah, we'll have to wait and see. I think if you go 699 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,119 look at a lead prospects and it says that he's playing for the Flyers this 700 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,000 year, but yeah, or last year, but obviously that did not happen. 701 00:46:55,119 --> 00:47:00,320 So just monitor the situation. If you get confirmation and it seems very 702 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,239 clear that it's happening, been and go at him. Otherwise, just watch 703 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,360 and the next guy we're going to talk about Alexei Kolosov Phillies twenty twenty one 704 00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:14,079 third round pick. He is six feet tall, so a little bit under 705 00:47:14,119 --> 00:47:21,440 size for a goalie. He's he's Belo Russian and he is now twenty one 706 00:47:21,519 --> 00:47:23,639 years old to mention that, and he's been playing in the KHL for Dina 707 00:47:23,679 --> 00:47:28,199 Moominsk the last couple of seasons. This year he played more than he had 708 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,400 before, forty two games, nine to twelve s a percentage two point five 709 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:36,840 five ga. If you look at his hockey prospecting equivalency, it is a 710 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,360 linear straight ascension up to eighty four percent likelihood of being an NHLOR, which 711 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:47,599 is incredible. These are equivalences of guys like Simon marmalav Nikolai Habibullin, and 712 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:52,719 some guy named Andrey Vasilevski. So, yeah, I never heard of him. 713 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:59,400 He just finished his most productive KHL season. As I mentioned, Should 714 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,280 we be excited about Alexei Kolosov kat what your instincts tell you? I think 715 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,599 so. He's a really fun one to watch. He's got a super smooth, 716 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,920 fluid game. He is a small guy. I love me a good 717 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:15,039 small goaltender. I always want to root for the underdog, quite literally, 718 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:21,280 but he is the best goaltender in the Belarusian system too. I believe he 719 00:48:21,559 --> 00:48:25,840 played their last game at Worlds. It was split between him and Danny Taylor, 720 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:34,079 who is either an American Belarusian or a Canadian Belarusian goaltender who the two 721 00:48:34,159 --> 00:48:37,440 of them are the two best options, and I think that Alexei Kolosov did 722 00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:43,000 better of the two, and he's a lot of fun to watch. I 723 00:48:43,039 --> 00:48:45,599 think he needs a little more structure and needs to clean up some of his 724 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,679 decision making, but a lot of that comes from the fact that he's been 725 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,800 playing in the KHL, is essentially a very young player, and not playing 726 00:48:54,960 --> 00:49:00,440 for one of the two Russian powerhouses. He's been playing for the Belarusian team 727 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:07,360 in the KHL, which has fewer resources than sk or CSK. So I 728 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,679 think he's done a really good job with what we've seen so far. I 729 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:16,559 think, obviously his height will be considered a concern until he wins a Besni. 730 00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:20,679 That's one of those things that when you see a guy listed at six 731 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,519 feet tall, you have to assume he's probably closer to five ten, and 732 00:49:24,199 --> 00:49:30,159 people always get a little nervous about those quote unquote smaller goaltenders. But I 733 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:31,639 watched a bunch of his highlights, and I watched a bunch of his games, 734 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:37,760 and did he I felt calm watching him. He was a goaltender who 735 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,440 just seemed like he was keeping himself in the pace of the game. He 736 00:49:42,599 --> 00:49:46,000 was making good decisions, he wasn't sending rebounds into really risky areas. He 737 00:49:46,119 --> 00:49:50,119 was just like a lot of fun to watch. And if he makes it 738 00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:55,760 over to North America, which I think it's super fascinating that Philadelphia is seemingly 739 00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:01,159 only picking up prospects that are playing in Europe and may or may not come 740 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,320 over to North America. They're rolling the dice on everyone, it seems. 741 00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:07,000 If he comes over to North America, I think he's a really fun option 742 00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:13,519 for them. Yeah, it seems like you want a nice blend of North 743 00:50:13,559 --> 00:50:16,519 America and Europeans so you can have some options nearby, so you have some 744 00:50:20,039 --> 00:50:22,079 Yeah, it's going to be a fun one. Literally, go look at 745 00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,639 his charts if you're a patron, it's incredible. He looks amazing. But 746 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:30,159 we'll have to see Belarussian obviously involved with the Russia Ukraine conflict too, so 747 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,320 there may be some extra issues there. But we have two more to talk 748 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,039 about, and that's Felix sans fer him Samuel Erson. We saw a little 749 00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:40,719 bit of sans Ferm and Ersim in the HL. They it's nice to have 750 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:45,760 two NHL ready goalies. I'm not sure how excited we should be about either 751 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:52,360 of them, though, and certainly they are more available than the other two 752 00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:59,599 Russian and Belaruessians we talked about since they played some NHL games. But Felix 753 00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:05,039 sans for one had negative eleven point two two goals save above expected. Erson 754 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,119 was two point two nine above, so that was good, and Heart just 755 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,920 for context, was almost thirteen goals save above expected, so that was pretty 756 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,239 incredible. Just looking at raw numbers, Erson was an eight ninety nine percentage, 757 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:23,920 Sanstrom eight eighty and Sanstrom though played twenty games, Erson twelve and had 758 00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:29,079 in those twelve games he had three more wins and Sandstrom had in his twenty, 759 00:51:29,199 --> 00:51:31,559 so an interesting mixed bag there. If you look at their hockey prospecting, 760 00:51:31,679 --> 00:51:37,320 they both graduated that model with roughly thirty percent chance of being an NHLer 761 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,840 and so with some spikes and valleys here and there, What can you tell 762 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,239 us about these two cat What do your instincts tell us between Felix Sanstrm Samuel 763 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:51,360 Erson is the one we should be more excited about than the other. I 764 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:58,639 don't know. I so for the longest time, those were the two outside 765 00:51:58,679 --> 00:52:00,599 of Carter Heart, those were the two. Oh, if they make it 766 00:52:00,639 --> 00:52:04,199 over to North America, those are the guys that will watch. And I 767 00:52:04,639 --> 00:52:07,719 assumed that they had both of them so that if one of them didn't choose 768 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,079 to come over to North America, they had the other one. And then 769 00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:14,760 both of them came over and neither one seemed like they really hit their full 770 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,719 potential. To me, even back when they were still prospects, I wasn't 771 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,960 ever super in love with either of their games. There wasn't anything wrong with 772 00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:27,400 their games, just nothing super remarkable for me. Herson's interesting to me because 773 00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:32,559 I think he is absolutely in the wrong team system because he has some really 774 00:52:32,599 --> 00:52:37,320 good skating instincts, really good tracking, but when he panics his technique, 775 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:46,559 King slip and Philadelphia is a team where goaltenders panic, and it's always frustrating 776 00:52:46,599 --> 00:52:54,239 watching a goaltender who really doesn't do well when faced with just like an absolute 777 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:59,519 dismantling of the defense in front of them playing for Philadelphia, because I feel 778 00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:02,480 like everyone on Oil they have a season where they play eight or nine goaltenders 779 00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:06,800 in a season and we get to see just the whole run of the gambit. 780 00:53:07,039 --> 00:53:12,559 I don't think Felix Sandstrom has the same ceiling that Samuelaarson does, but 781 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:17,079 I do think that he stays a little bit calmer, and so I'm interested 782 00:53:17,159 --> 00:53:21,840 to see how that goes. I don't really know how to evaluate Philadelphia for 783 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,559 next year, because I think that they were supposed to be a team that 784 00:53:24,119 --> 00:53:30,159 took a step forward last year, and instead they finished somewhere on par with 785 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,679 Arizona. If I remember correctly, they were a team that for sure was 786 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,440 not looking at the playoffs. And I don't know if next year they're expecting 787 00:53:38,519 --> 00:53:44,119 to continue rebuilding or if they're a team that hopes that they'll take that step 788 00:53:44,159 --> 00:53:46,239 forward once again. I guess we'll see, now that they have an overhaul 789 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:51,519 in the front office, what they're really what their team roster looks like. 790 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,719 But yeah, I think both guys are fine. I don't think either ones 791 00:53:54,840 --> 00:54:00,880 necessarily start our material though, which obviously Philadelphia doesn't eat it. Because they 792 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,639 do have Carter Hart who struggled for the Flyers, but the Flyers struggled for 793 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,320 the Flyers, so that's okay. Yeah, I'd say maybe Arson's slightly higher 794 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,599 for me than Stanstrom, but neither one for me is like a must have, 795 00:54:13,639 --> 00:54:16,559 and I don't think Philadelphia considers either one of must have necessarily either. 796 00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:23,320 Good to know. Thanks for your instincts on the Philadelphia Flyer goalies. Will 797 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:45,880 be back right after this. Dig Dynasty, Dig Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Freedom. 798 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:51,719 Ready to talk a little bit of Philadelphia Flyers. The Philly Flyers have 799 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,800 the number seven pick in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft. They have their own 800 00:54:54,880 --> 00:55:00,400 picks except for the second and the third round pick. They have the Rangers 801 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:05,400 in Florida's third round picks. They have Edmonton's fourth, they have Ottawa sixth, 802 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:12,039 and Victor has this system ranked tied for fifth. So let's start out 803 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,119 with the top of the system, Victor, and it's the no brain or 804 00:55:15,199 --> 00:55:21,519 prospect of the Philadelphia Flyers. Who is it, Cutter Gautier. To be 805 00:55:21,639 --> 00:55:24,679 honest, I didn't really expect this to be the case. When after the 806 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,960 draft, I was wondering whether they reached a little bit. I know that 807 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:34,679 last year's USN TB wasn't the strongest group, but I was not really sure 808 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,159 that Cutter Gautier was the guy. You look at some other guys on that 809 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:42,440 team, laid Hunton certainly doing things and looking really good. We also, 810 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:47,920 of course have the Jimmy snuggerud going off. Cooley wasn't available. There's other 811 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,039 guys like McGroarty and Howard, who Yeah, it seems like Gautier it was 812 00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:54,480 better than those. So it was interesting though that he went so high and 813 00:55:54,599 --> 00:55:59,360 I was a little bit not so sure. But man, he really did 814 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:04,400 awesome college this year. And just to mention six foot two left wing slash 815 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,320 center, I know Philly really wants him to be a center, and he 816 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,360 did play in the middle quite a bit this year, and he was over 817 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:14,039 a point per game for Boston College this season, thirty seven points in thirty 818 00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:16,639 two games. He took a break in the middle to represent USA at the 819 00:56:16,679 --> 00:56:22,320 World Junior Championships and he had ten points in seven games en route to a 820 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,559 bronze medal. I know that many people mentioned that after that he came back 821 00:56:25,639 --> 00:56:29,360 and had a little bit more confidence and was a little bit better in college. 822 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,480 He is now playing at the World Championships. As we're recording this, 823 00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:37,039 this will be over by the time you hear it. And we just watched 824 00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:42,599 Germany defeat Us in this semis and overtime. That was disappointing. Lane Hudson 825 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,480 with a really terrible play defensively on that one who were talking about. But 826 00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:51,159 Gautier did pretty awesome in that tournament nine points in nine games. He actually 827 00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:54,599 had nine points in eight games before that, seven goals, and the coaches 828 00:56:54,639 --> 00:56:59,639 had been asking him to shoot more and he delivered. He was shooting up 829 00:56:59,639 --> 00:57:02,599 a store and so that was really good. That seems to be something that 830 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,280 he is going to be good at, getting a lot of shots. On 831 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,559 his expectant, we're pretty high. And for a little bit more about what 832 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:14,280 makes Cutter Gautier so special, let's hear from our FHL scout. That's right, 833 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:19,519 Victor, Mister Gaudier was somebody that FHL scout Brandon used to know and 834 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,760 skating for this guy, powerful high torque, linear stride with the midlow motor 835 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:29,400 overall uses the momentum he gathers to surf on the edges efficiently. When maneuvering 836 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,639 on the attack or if evading tackers covers a lot of ice would benefit from 837 00:57:34,639 --> 00:57:37,880 a transition rush style of team play. In terms of puck handling, calm 838 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:43,559 and smooth puck handling Deeks with little to no wasted movement can be very quick 839 00:57:43,719 --> 00:57:45,760 to move the puck once it's on his stick, not so good on the 840 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:51,159 face offs. Only thirty five point seven percent effective on the drop fifteen out 841 00:57:51,199 --> 00:57:53,159 of forty two. Didn't look all that natural. We'll see if he can 842 00:57:53,199 --> 00:57:58,519 develop that skill, but Brandon kind of wonders whether that means an ultimate move 843 00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,039 to the wing. The shot assertive and confident shooter, a hard shot, 844 00:58:02,159 --> 00:58:07,280 especially in the one timor almost a violent release on his wrist shot at times. 845 00:58:07,519 --> 00:58:13,079 The iq high level of poise stem from his adaptability and having numerous solutions 846 00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:17,000 to obstacles presented. Sees the ice in the plays before they develop, orchestrates 847 00:58:17,039 --> 00:58:22,280 the power play from the right circle, directing puck flow by pointing with a 848 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,760 stick. Defense has an eye for providing support on the deep, but not 849 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,719 a prime play stopper will fly the zone early at times as he has seen 850 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:37,280 a potential offensive play develop while his team has yet to fully control the puck. 851 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:42,360 Best asset was that poise translated and made evident by his skating and puck 852 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:47,000 handling. The biggest concern inconsistent intensity. Needs to turn up the dial on 853 00:58:47,159 --> 00:58:51,400 pace, throwing his body at the opponent, using his frame to protect the 854 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,639 puck, and bully his way toward the goal. One wonders if the scouting 855 00:58:54,719 --> 00:58:59,119 before and after the World Juniors that you were just talking about Victor could impact 856 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:05,000 the scouting on that element. What's the upside for Brandon on his performance? 857 00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:09,199 The top tier would be a thirty fifty eighty power winger, power point trigger 858 00:59:09,239 --> 00:59:13,840 man, especially a plane with more dynamic skaters that can get to open eyes 859 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,880 and benefit from This guy's passing. Should be able to put up a points 860 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:21,440 and keep the shot volume up odd to hits odd to remain, and he 861 00:59:21,559 --> 00:59:23,400 might get a bump in the pros, especially if he's breaking into the league 862 00:59:23,719 --> 00:59:28,400 in a third or fourth line checking role, but not probably much of a 863 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,599 shot blocker, not that many guys are from the forward position most likely tier. 864 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,199 Brandon thinks maybe a fifty point middle sixth forward with some power playtime decent 865 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,400 shot volume hits are going to depend if he can get his motor up a 866 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,239 bit to where he needs to be to finish the check at the pro level 867 00:59:44,639 --> 00:59:49,280 and stylistic comparison. Oh boy, you better change your impact on the hits 868 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,559 here, because we've got Tomash hurdle with a shade of Matthew Kitchuck that is 869 00:59:52,639 --> 00:59:57,639 more calm and poised than has smoother edgework. I'm excited. All I need 870 00:59:57,719 --> 01:00:00,840 to hear is my up on the back of my neck, all right, 871 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:08,800 Cutter Gotier NHL Rankking comparison from Mason Black is Matthew Nie and wow, that's 872 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,960 a guy whose name you can't get out of your ears lately. And the 873 01:00:13,039 --> 01:00:17,480 PNHL E similarity score good old Christian Fisher. He's come up recently on some 874 01:00:17,559 --> 01:00:24,159 shows. Luke cunnan and Bobby Ryan he another guy who our guy Nate picked. 875 01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,639 Yeah, he picked Bobby Ryan as one of the guys that you might 876 01:00:27,679 --> 01:00:30,280 be able to compare him to in terms of early career trajectory. Of course, 877 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:35,960 Gotier went through the NCAA, Bobby Ryan went through the Ohl, and 878 01:00:36,719 --> 01:00:42,280 the Gotier versus Niece it is Gotier by a landslide. According to Mason Black's 879 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,880 Twitter poll, you all voted and you said sixty three percent of you that 880 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,519 Gotier was better than Niece and thirty seven percent of course for Nice. So, 881 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,239 Victor, is that the same way you would go with this comparison. 882 01:00:54,159 --> 01:00:59,800 First of all, don't hold it against Jesse. He mispronounced nye several times. 883 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,239 But it's okay. It's not like he hasn't heard it a dozen times 884 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,360 or anything. I know that too, Victor. How many times do people 885 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,239 talk about this guy? What is okay? People? We are six hours 886 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:16,519 into recording today, Just give me a break. Yeah, so this is 887 01:01:16,639 --> 01:01:22,400 interesting. I really like the progression of Gautier. I like that he's earlier 888 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,199 in the funnel, as we like to say, and Nys just being another 889 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,960 year down the funnel. And I think that his development has gone well. 890 01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:34,920 But I think because he's a Toronto prospect and because he's gotten some games already, 891 01:01:35,039 --> 01:01:37,800 people are like anointing him the next high scoring power forward, but the 892 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:42,960 reality is that he's probably a middle six winger and so he's not going to 893 01:01:43,039 --> 01:01:46,079 get the biggest opportunity on Toronto. I think that he's a good, complimentary 894 01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:51,000 player. He's a very strong puck retriever and grinder that kind. I don't 895 01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:53,920 know that he has the scoring that a guy like Cutter Gautier has, And 896 01:01:54,039 --> 01:01:59,559 I think that what Gautier did at the NCA this season was really incredible and 897 01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:05,239 certainly not anywhere near what Nys did in his first season. So I think 898 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,239 it's definitely a Gautier. I think it's not even really close. I find 899 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:12,880 the comparison interesting. I think that Gautier does have some snarl. I think 900 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,840 Bobby Ryan could be a little bit like that. And one of the most 901 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,800 fun things that happened to me this week actually was Bobby Ryan himself responded to 902 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,079 one of my tweets. It blew my mind a little bit. I didn't 903 01:02:22,079 --> 01:02:24,679 really know what to do with myself. Yeah, yeah, tell me this. 904 01:02:25,239 --> 01:02:28,880 It was pretty fun. And then so anyways, it was not really 905 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,199 a huge deal. It was just him responding to something. And then I 906 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:36,119 was like, okay, after I realized it was cool. And so anyways, 907 01:02:36,159 --> 01:02:37,960 he had a good career, and I think that if Gautier could be 908 01:02:39,039 --> 01:02:42,719 close to that, which I think he can be, then it's a no 909 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,079 brainer and we're taking Goutier all the way over Nys. I still think Nys 910 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:52,280 is someone who you could sell to your neighborhood friendly Leafs fan. I think 911 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,079 that they probably value him more than he's going to be worth, and so 912 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,360 that's what I would do, trade nys acquire. What do you think? 913 01:03:00,599 --> 01:03:04,960 I'm not even sure it's so much. I think there's a lot of people. 914 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:09,639 The problem is that all here long you hear the media talking about Toronto 915 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:14,079 trades they should make and who is the person that they would have to trade 916 01:03:14,119 --> 01:03:16,679 every time to get X star player and the other team. They always have 917 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,880 to name Toronto's best prospect, right, so it's Nice that's who is going 918 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,320 to come up now. I will say that he looked good in the playoffs 919 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:28,599 when I saw him out there, considering that he's just stepping into this role. 920 01:03:28,719 --> 01:03:32,559 But Cutter got a definitely impressed this year. What we saw from the 921 01:03:32,599 --> 01:03:37,639 World Junior is what we saw from the NCA right now, I probably in 922 01:03:37,719 --> 01:03:40,320 a vacuum would take him, But in terms of arbitrage, I think Nice 923 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:45,760 probably would have. I would have said he would have better value on the 924 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,480 market. But it looks like Twitter disagrees with me and that Gautier is currently 925 01:03:49,519 --> 01:03:57,400 the higher rated feller. They need to know prospect Victor is who our need 926 01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:02,519 to know is Alex Gendron. He is twenty twenty two seventh round pick by 927 01:04:02,519 --> 01:04:05,719 the Flyers. So just great that we're even talking about this guy five foot 928 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,280 nine hundred and seventy four pounds. Well, now you know why he felt 929 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,280 that the seventh round last year in his draft here, he put up forty 930 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:17,519 six points in sixty six games for the Blaineville brought Rob broon bab Brion Armada. 931 01:04:18,119 --> 01:04:21,480 This season, he had thirty four points in twenty nine games for the 932 01:04:21,599 --> 01:04:26,239 Armada before he was traded to the gat to Know Olympeaks, and he had 933 01:04:26,239 --> 01:04:30,360 another forty seven points in thirty four games for the Olympeaks and another nineteen and 934 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,000 thirteen playoff games and that's pretty awesome. Yeah, they felt just a little 935 01:04:34,039 --> 01:04:39,480 bit short of Memorial Cup, but he still looks pretty good and good progression 936 01:04:39,559 --> 01:04:45,480 anyways for him. He's got some interesting advanced numbers like his shot generation and 937 01:04:45,639 --> 01:04:51,280 expected goals assists. Primary sists are not that great. Neither is this transition 938 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:56,000 zone a game, especially for a young a smaller kid, that's not so 939 01:04:56,159 --> 01:04:59,599 reassuring. But he did had some pretty good controlled entry so that was nice. 940 01:05:00,239 --> 01:05:02,960 In terms of his defense was actually some of it was actually really good. 941 01:05:03,079 --> 01:05:08,519 His on ice puck recovery corsi against Dumpin's forest all that looked pretty good, 942 01:05:09,119 --> 01:05:13,480 and his shooting was actually a pretty decent. So that's all nice to 943 01:05:13,599 --> 01:05:15,679 hear, but we need to hear a little bit more. So let's hear 944 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,719 from our FHL scout about Alex skin Dron, our FHL scout, our producer, 945 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:27,000 our general all around FHL Fantasy MVP Nate has this to say about Gendron. 946 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,199 Skating is average some above average straight line speed, but when he has 947 01:05:30,239 --> 01:05:34,039 to change directions or use his edges, he lacks the ability to beat even 948 01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:39,800 the most average of skaters. Skating problems also affected shooting and puck handling abilities, 949 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:44,239 so it's something that he really needs to improve. Puck handling his average. 950 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,079 It's hard to comment on it since he doesn't have the puck too often, 951 01:05:46,599 --> 01:05:49,199 does most of his work away from the puck, and relies on his 952 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,679 teammates to do the handling. When he does get the puck around the perimeter, 953 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,679 he has a tendency to force passes to the middle of the ice. 954 01:05:57,199 --> 01:06:00,119 His shot is average. Shot isn't the harder, isn't the most accurate, 955 01:06:00,199 --> 01:06:04,000 so it's hard to give gen Drown a good rating on it, but there 956 01:06:04,239 --> 01:06:09,199 must be some deception to it, as more often than not it finds the 957 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,239 back of the net when he gets a quality chance. However, don't mistake 958 01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,199 this is shot being elite. It's probably more due to his ability to find 959 01:06:15,239 --> 01:06:19,480 the soft spots IQ above average. His greatest strength is his offensive IQ. 960 01:06:20,079 --> 01:06:24,559 He has the ability to read where the next pass is goin getting great positions 961 01:06:24,599 --> 01:06:29,880 to score, and Nate would say the offensive IQ side of his game borders 962 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:34,719 on elite defense average defensive abilities won't hurt you, but they're not going to 963 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:41,119 stand out. Offensive IQ again was the top asset. The biggest concern is 964 01:06:41,119 --> 01:06:44,559 the puck possession game. When he has the puck, he's around the perimeter, 965 01:06:44,679 --> 01:06:49,079 forcing passes in the middle without any real scrategy. And so noted during 966 01:06:49,119 --> 01:06:53,719 the games that he was invisible sometimes in the power play, but upon rewatch 967 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,360 it was because his teammates weren't getting him the puck and it isn't in his 968 01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,400 game to go get the puck himself. To your potential, what would be 969 01:07:00,559 --> 01:07:06,079 the top outcome for this guy, second line scorer and if the skannerd improves, 970 01:07:06,119 --> 01:07:10,679 and everything else follows. The sky's the limit. But assuming not that 971 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,960 there isn't much that Nate sought, his suggests will be anything more than a 972 01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:17,599 high IQ winger who can put the puck in the neck. More likely, 973 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,360 what will it be? A bottom six winger reliable defensively so he can be 974 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:26,440 trusted to play an average amount of minutes, will pitch in with timely goals, 975 01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:30,400 playing the lineup for short bursts, stylistic comparable Frank the tank of a 976 01:07:30,519 --> 01:07:34,159 Toronto. Maybe not the player you want to see Gendron compared to, but 977 01:07:34,199 --> 01:07:39,199 if you're a Flyers fan, he's been a reliable nhiller for a while. 978 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:43,239 You could do worse similar sizes, but Gendron would have to add to his 979 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:48,639 frame to be a direct comparison. So even Gendron's bursts of street line speed 980 01:07:48,679 --> 01:07:55,559 to generate breakaway and rush opportunities reminded Nate of a Toronto. So let's compare 981 01:07:55,679 --> 01:08:00,400 Gendron to Matthew Magiao, who is the pick of the New York Islanders last 982 01:08:00,519 --> 01:08:06,079 year. Actually similarly, light Gendron was in the seventh round and Meggio was 983 01:08:06,199 --> 01:08:12,280 in the fifth. And as we look at the p NHLI similarity scores. 984 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:17,079 We got Max Reinhardt, Mattu, Joseph and Cameron Hebig, so Matt Megio 985 01:08:17,199 --> 01:08:23,640 Mason Raymond is another guy who gets pulled out there by Nate overall Gendron versus 986 01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:29,720 Meggio, and we see Maggio as the sixty five thirty five winner over Gendron. 987 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,880 Victor. Is this another nice situation where I'm mispronouncing this name and who 988 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:40,840 do you want? I don't think you're misspronouncing this one, so that's good. 989 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:46,159 It is I think not tilted the right way. I would say Maggio. 990 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,239 He's a year older. He's also a little bit smaller at five to 991 01:08:50,279 --> 01:08:55,680 eleven, not quite as small as Gendron, but is his production has been 992 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,560 pretty poor up until this season, Maggio, And I guess you could say 993 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:00,880 the same for Dendren, but he's a year younger. So I tend to 994 01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:06,279 take the guys who are farther away and haven't proven so much that they lack 995 01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:11,439 upside. And I think it depends for Gendron whether you believe his Get to 996 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,319 Know Phili or his Armada p Chile, which was a little bit different, 997 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,960 not terribly, but about ten points pH Chill different. I think that I 998 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:24,199 would take Gendron. There's a little bit more upside there. He's a little 999 01:09:24,239 --> 01:09:29,079 bit younger in his draft here too, so I think that there's some reasons 1000 01:09:29,119 --> 01:09:30,359 to like him a little bit more. But these are both bottom of the 1001 01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:32,760 barrel kind of guys. I don't think that's going to make a huge difference 1002 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:39,960 either way. But I'll take Gendron Jesse. Yeah, I'm because I'm not 1003 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,640 the guy who I'm hoping turns into Frank Petrano. I don't know, and 1004 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,880 he's playing in a que right now. Neither one of these guys is really 1005 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,880 getting my interest. Maybe you can tilt, maybe you can get my eye 1006 01:09:51,119 --> 01:09:55,960 on the next prospect. That is, to keep your eye on prospect Victor. 1007 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,880 I hope you can have some interest in mL Andre. He's the Flyer 1008 01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:02,920 twenty twenty second round pick, and he was over a half pain per game 1009 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:08,000 for HV seventy one and the SHL this season. After the conclusion of the 1010 01:10:08,159 --> 01:10:11,159 SHL season, he came over to North America and suited up for the Lehigh 1011 01:10:11,239 --> 01:10:15,319 Valley Phantom, so the HL six points in ten games. We already heard 1012 01:10:15,319 --> 01:10:17,319 a little bit from Russ what he thinks about Andre for next season. I 1013 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:23,359 think he's pretty NHL ready. I definitely like Andrea. I think he's proven 1014 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,720 he can play against man even though he's five to nine. He is stocky 1015 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:30,359 and sturdy, and he really doesn't mess around with that with the physicality. 1016 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,439 So I think that he might see him in a flyer's uniform, especially if 1017 01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,920 things go haywire with injuries and stuff. But I also think that he might 1018 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,720 earn it after playing in the NHL a little bit. Yeah, he's a 1019 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,880 pretty volume shooter. It's the main thing you can take away from his underlying 1020 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,079 analytics at support contract. But we need to know a little bit more about 1021 01:10:48,199 --> 01:10:53,720 him, So let's hear from RFHL scout. If HL scout Tony doesn't mess 1022 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,000 around with his scouting reports, and here's what he had to say about it. 1023 01:10:57,399 --> 01:11:00,159 Skating and puck handling both very good. He used to puck handling with 1024 01:11:00,279 --> 01:11:03,960 his skating to open the passing and the shooting lanes. Both the wrist and 1025 01:11:04,119 --> 01:11:10,880 the snapshot are good. High IQ player low panic meter both very positive. 1026 01:11:11,199 --> 01:11:15,319 Defense good. Willing to play defense and turn it into offense is best asset. 1027 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,319 All those things we're talking about. The skating puck handling, passing, 1028 01:11:18,399 --> 01:11:23,079 able to get his own shot or dished teammate, willing to play defense, 1029 01:11:23,359 --> 01:11:26,279 take or give a hit. Sounds like an all around type of game. 1030 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:30,399 Biggest concern size and he's not really expected to block a lot of shots there, 1031 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:35,760 So what's the highest outcome? What's the ninety percent on that Tony would 1032 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:40,880 see? Maybe a tier two offense like a sixty point guy, a top 1033 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,239 forty power play time, The skills are above average, above average bash, 1034 01:11:45,359 --> 01:11:49,680 but mostly just with the hits. But more likely, more likely Tony season 1035 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:54,720 is maybe settling into tier three roll thirty to forty points, working on his 1036 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,680 skating, being willing to keep up with the defensive side of the play. 1037 01:11:58,239 --> 01:12:00,600 Stylistic comparable, whoa, Tony, You're throwing me a loop here? A 1038 01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,880 Roman Yosi type. I'm not sure what to do with that. It doesn't 1039 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:09,479 sound like he's scoring Roman Yosi points. But summary a good, very good 1040 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:14,399 player, top for good skating, puck handling and passing, above average skills, 1041 01:12:15,039 --> 01:12:18,000 And let's look at the NHL rank King Mason Black's data in poll. 1042 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:23,960 One of Victor's new favorites, the man who wasn't so popular in New Jersey 1043 01:12:24,039 --> 01:12:30,079 but now he's a shark Shakier Muhammadulin compared to Emil Andre, and that is 1044 01:12:30,159 --> 01:12:38,920 an interesting comparison. Indeed, the PNHLI similarity scores for Andre Hampa's Lindholm, 1045 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:45,560 Matt Hunwick, Oliver Shillington, and again Shakir Muhammadulin are He's coming from khl 1046 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,840 Land compared to Emil Andre, who's playing more in Sweden. There, but 1047 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:55,079 there's some similarities. And Nate also pulled out Thomas Shabat because that's one of 1048 01:12:55,119 --> 01:13:00,720 the names that came up in the comparison list. So mel Andre versus Shakier 1049 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:06,720 Mukamadulan the head to head the grudge match here quite a few votes in Mukamadulan 1050 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:12,239 won fairly decisively. How about you, Victor, do you side with the 1051 01:13:12,319 --> 01:13:18,119 Shark or is Emil Andre being underrated here? I think Amlandre is definitely underrated, 1052 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:23,479 and it's funny that Tony pulled out Roman Yosi. I would pick one 1053 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:28,079 of his former teammates, Ryan Ellis, who's a smaller, very physical, 1054 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:32,279 good all around defenseman with offensive upside. Also currently if flyer, although I'm 1055 01:13:32,279 --> 01:13:36,960 not sure it's injury history, has his career in Jeopardy, but I think 1056 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:42,920 he's that's a pretty interesting comp I think Andre, when you watch him play, 1057 01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,840 he does not play small. He does you know. He's very physical, 1058 01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:50,840 he's very engaged, he's very active. And mccamadoulan is huge. He's 1059 01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:55,680 a big dude six two. I guess it's not super heavy, one seventy, 1060 01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:00,479 but he is. He's a good skater and he's got that all around 1061 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,520 defenseman type profile. He's got that nice frame. So I think in terms 1062 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:13,319 of terms of NHL or probability, that mccamah dulan seems more secure. Although 1063 01:14:13,319 --> 01:14:17,520 if you look at Hockey prospecting, Andre has a seventy four percent NHLA probability 1064 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:21,640 at mukama Dulan only forty five percent, and that's based on his KHL numbers, 1065 01:14:23,359 --> 01:14:27,279 so that's interesting. I do think that both these guys are going to 1066 01:14:27,319 --> 01:14:30,560 play in the NHL, and I think for offensive upside, I like Andre 1067 01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,960 better. I think that he has more to give. I think that Mukamahdulan 1068 01:14:34,119 --> 01:14:39,479 is more like, you're safe, number three, number four kind of guy 1069 01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,319 that I don't know that you really want him running your power play like he 1070 01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,399 probably could, but he's not very dynamic. He's got a good shot when 1071 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,159 he can get it through, which he's done better at since his draft. 1072 01:14:49,279 --> 01:14:54,399 But I just don't know that he's going to demand those offensive minutes. And 1073 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:58,039 I think that Andre maybe he's more of a power play too kind of guy. 1074 01:14:58,119 --> 01:15:00,359 But I do think he has a little bit more upse. So yeah, 1075 01:15:00,399 --> 01:15:02,439 I'm going against the people here. And I wanted to point out one 1076 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,520 other comp. There's a there's currently a guy. I didn't realize he was 1077 01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:10,039 five foot nine and playing in the NHL because we always look for these smaller 1078 01:15:10,039 --> 01:15:12,720 guys. Everyone wants to say Tory Kruge, but he's such a unicorn. 1079 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,840 But Jacob Bryson, who's a Buffalo player, and he's he's the same size, 1080 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,359 five foot nine and he's played a number of NHL games. But if 1081 01:15:21,399 --> 01:15:25,800 you look at the if you look at the comps, Emma, Andre is 1082 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,800 way more likely to be both a NHL and a star. So I think 1083 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,239 that's probably a very low outcome Jacob Bryson. I think that Andrea has a 1084 01:15:34,319 --> 01:15:39,079 lot more to give. Jesse, what do you think about Mukama Dulan versus 1085 01:15:39,199 --> 01:15:45,600 Andrea. Yeah, famously, these models seem to like correct me, Victor. 1086 01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,359 They like the KHL stats. That's one of the areas where they get 1087 01:15:47,399 --> 01:15:53,760 juiced a little bit. And the KHL guys part of that is they tend 1088 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,680 to not get the playing time over there when they're this stage. And twenty 1089 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,560 five points in sixty seven games we're sell about ula of UFA is pretty good. 1090 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,840 Pretty good haul for a guy like that in the up in the Barracouta 1091 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:11,600 you at ten points in twelve games. But yeah, it could go either 1092 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:15,199 way. I don't know the emeal Andre talk. Maybe he is a bit 1093 01:16:15,319 --> 01:16:18,119 underrated, but I check here, Muhamma dueling a bit more all along, 1094 01:16:18,199 --> 01:16:24,079 so I guess I'll steer with him here. All right, that's fair, 1095 01:16:24,359 --> 01:16:28,279 and there's a lot more that we could talk about, but there's no time. 1096 01:16:28,359 --> 01:16:31,119 You can listen to my top ten prospect recap on Patreon if you're a 1097 01:16:31,159 --> 01:16:34,039 Patreon If not, you can check that out at patreon dot com s Last 1098 01:16:34,079 --> 01:16:38,239 Fantasy Hockey Life And if you're interested in helping out with some of the scouting 1099 01:16:38,279 --> 01:16:41,680 we could always use more, you can get access to sport Contract, which 1100 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,479 has amazing videos.

Be right 1108 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:25,760 back to close out the show. A couple of things to remind everybody of 1109 01:17:26,039 --> 01:17:28,880 before we get out of here today. Our show is brought to you by 1110 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,600 fan tracks. I love my fan tracks. Play all my sports there. 1111 01:17:32,359 --> 01:17:36,000 I'm trying to consolidate all my leagues there. Sometimes not everybody wants to come 1112 01:17:36,039 --> 01:17:39,840 along, but they should. You can start new leagues there. You can 1113 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,319 move your leagues over and they'll help you. There are ten different sports, 1114 01:17:43,359 --> 01:17:45,720 so there's no excuse that they don't have my sport, and frankly they have 1115 01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:51,680 them able to set up much earlier than most others. Hockey's already good to 1116 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:55,319 go there, and it's not even a glimmer in the eye of many of 1117 01:17:55,359 --> 01:17:59,239 the other sites. They have literally hundreds of scoring options, you can customize 1118 01:17:59,319 --> 01:18:02,880 rookie eligible abilities the way you want, and they have a good chat feature 1119 01:18:03,199 --> 01:18:06,319 in the app, which a lot of a lot of these sites are going 1120 01:18:06,399 --> 01:18:11,479 away from other platforms, not so much on that, and there's a brand 1121 01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:15,239 new user interface coming, so lots of cool things going on there. Fantrack's 1122 01:18:15,359 --> 01:18:19,359 HQ has tons of fantasy content. We're part of that. Fantrack's HQ podcast 1123 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:25,880 network articles on fantasy hockey there and all the other fantasy sports and podcasts. 1124 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:30,600 Not only this one, but the Prospect Pod and Full Count Fantasy Baseball are 1125 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:34,119 both in the fantasy baseball space, and there's the Fly Fantasy Football, and 1126 01:18:34,359 --> 01:18:41,000 there's the Fantasy Hoops for basketball. We'd like to think our producer Nate Duffett, 1127 01:18:41,199 --> 01:18:44,279 who's come up huge for us, not just as a scout, he's 1128 01:18:44,319 --> 01:18:47,399 one of our FHL scouts, but he has a producer now for our show. 1129 01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,119 Been helping out a ton with the show prep. You wouldn't believe I'm 1130 01:18:51,199 --> 01:18:55,520 much just been going into it this year, and it's going to be a 1131 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,479 busy summer getting you all thirty two team previews. We're also brought to you 1132 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:03,720 by dab Hockey Dauber Prospects. Victor is an editor with Dauber Prospects.

You can follow Victor's work on Dauber Prospects 1134 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:15,840 as well as the second podcast Victor has with our friend Peter Harling of Dauber. 1135 01:19:15,239 --> 01:19:20,800 It's the Dabber Prospects Report, formerly Dauber Daber prospect Radio, I believe 1136 01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:25,279 it was, but it is rebranded, it is refreshed, and it is 1137 01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:29,399 good talk about prospects. You like Victor, that's another place to check him 1138 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,800 out. We have a Patreon, I believe we have mentioned that frequently, 1139 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,359 and if you choose to participate, you can do things like at certain levels, 1140 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:41,840 get access to Victor's ranks, get special access to some areas of our 1141 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,319 discord and discord is free, but there are some patron specific areas there you 1142 01:19:45,399 --> 01:19:48,239 get patron cast to listen to. We do one of those a month, 1143 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:54,880 and primarily they are for answering people's questions in Victor and I broadcast that so 1144 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,520 that you can have it in your ears after the fact. And then there's 1145 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,239 the tidy that tier Dynasty League. We are taking new people into that to 1146 01:20:02,399 --> 01:20:05,119 start up year number two, and it was a heck of a year number 1147 01:20:05,159 --> 01:20:10,680 one.
