@billmeltzer I get the argument that if he doesn’t play well down the stretch that the Flyers don’t make the playoffs. However that argument ignores the converse: if he played better & picks up points before the break, maybe having to sprint to the finish isn’t necessary.

Samuel Ersson has had two 6+ week stretches the last two seasons where he's played very well. Not just "a start here and there" like his critics say. His real problem has been groin injuries and very slow returns to form after those injuries. Does he need to stay healthier and avoid long down stretches? Absolutely yes. But is he a "legit NHL goalie"? Also yes. Raw numbers are rarely the full story.

@JayOnSC @TSN_Sports In the amount of time he said those words, he could have simply just said “yes” to the teams asking to interview Cassidy and then not have to speak to it at all and you know, focus on the playoffs.

@charlieo_conn Torts may have been born to end up in Vegas. They seem to be birds of a feather.

this was such a distraction for the Flyers, right????

Jeff Marek@JeffMarek

Another point to consider in the Vegas/Cassidy situation - the Golden Knights had to ask the Philadelphia Flyers for permission to talk to John Tortorella. The courtesy was granted and now Cassidy's replacement has VGK in the Western Conference final.

@charlieo_conn Every time they showed UPL after the goal, he looked like he was responsible for puppies disappearing from Earth. Gotta be amazed at goalies. Toughest position in sports.

UPL just has to make that save. Damn. Habs are getting smiled on by the hockey gods quite a lot this postseason.

@jaydee4777jd @avappleyard @NHLFlyers @jasonmyrt I think it is more of a function of him needing to build strength this summer to win those battles rather than the wing.

English

Jay Dee@jaydee4777jd·17 May

@LBWeiner @avappleyard @NHLFlyers @jasonmyrt Probably in time...this melts away. The issue is that the speed playoff hockey showed the league that it is really easy to close down on Matvei at our blueline (thwarting Flyers breakouts). If a switch back to LW allows 39 not to be scratched b/c of this, move him back.

Amongst all "Michkov mania" with @NHLFlyers these last weeks (or last 3 yrs tbh)... @jasonmyrt interview with Brière other day I think had interesting part Where Brière talked about LW/RW, certainly seemed #Flyers GM leans towards Michkov as a RW youtube.com/watch?v=no1msz… #NHL

@billmeltzer @HockeyHStove @ctherien6 @AnthonyMingioni @Haleytsimon @PhansofPhilly @carlscards @hoffer21 Seeing what Celebrini and Martone are doing at worlds is making me salivate for the 26-27 season. Both teenagers driving the bus (yes, I know Martone isn’t in Celebrini’s class, but still awesome)

@billmeltzer @HockeyHStove @ctherien6 @AnthonyMingioni @Haleytsimon @PhansofPhilly @carlscards @hoffer21 Definitely wouldn’t have made the Olympics based on where he was at the point. With a bunch of Russians still playing in the NHL playoffs, he would have a better shot at being asked for worlds, agree though, no guarantees.

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers @jasonmyrt Oh and a certain PM94 having 3 primary assists in 4 World Championship periods seems pretty good.

English

Lonny Weiner@LBWeiner·16 May

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers @jasonmyrt I thought that segment was both a little funny and insightful in that here’s a former player basically saying everyone is overthinking this whole off-wing thing and he found it helpful later in his career to play the off-wing.

@billmeltzer @afern_alex This is Vladar’s 3rd team, so it clearly takes time, and for. I wouldn’t be upset if Ersson is still here, just not as bullish on his upside beyond a good backup, and look, there’s only 32 NHL backup goalie positions in the world, it still makes him pretty elite.

English

Bill Meltzer@billmeltzer·15 May

@LBWeiner @afern_alex Actually, Ersson-- WJC starter, Rookie of the Year in Sweden, quicker initial NHL spell of success -- had the more impressive early pedigree. A lot of injury, too hot and cold since. But still of typical age a goalie figures it out in NHL.

English

Bill Meltzer@billmeltzer·15 May

He still fits as the No. 2. His strong post-Olympic run, relationship with Vladar, popularity in the room and fact that he's had so much streakiness and injury (limiting other suitors as a FA) probably extends his Philly run a year.

HockeyHotStove@HockeyHStove

Will be interesting to see where Samuel Ersson fits. Ersson is a pending restricted free agent.

@billmeltzer @afern_alex And that’s not to say Ersson isn’t an NHL goaltender, I just see his ceiling as a 2.

English

Lonny Weiner@LBWeiner·15 May

@billmeltzer @afern_alex I get what your saying, but there is a difference between the two. Recall that when Vladar was signed, much of the discussion was about how he was used to protect Wolf against the best of the west, and he performed well in that role. Ersson doesn’t quite have that pedigree.

@jasonmyrt Great interview…I thought Danny’s off wing take was sort of funny, but mostly insightful in really just expressing everyone is overthinking the whole thing by going so far as to say he played off wing and thought it helped him in his later years.

@billmeltzer @afern_alex If he goes, I won’t be sad, if he stays, I won’t be mad. I haven’t seen anything in his game that makes me think he’ll be anything more than a 2. If Vladar gets hurt, it doesn’t matter who the 2 is, this team likely would be up the creek without a paddle.

English

Bill Meltzer@billmeltzer·15 May

@afern_alex What he in prior years was similar. Streaky play, injuries with slow returns to form, strong finishes. In fact, that was very much Dan Vladar's history until this season.

Lonny Weiner@LBWeiner·15 May

@billmeltzer Seeing that Andrae is a restricted free agent, and while it isn’t a foregone conclusion he won’t be back next year, how would that work? Would the Flyers have to do a sign and trade? Or can they trade player rights prior to whatever the offer tender deadline might be?

Lonny Weiner@LBWeiner·15 May

@avappleyard There were rumors last year of maybe Maverick Bourque. It may not be be him, but I envision someone similar—low risk contract wise right now, age fits the window, but high potential hoping that a change of scenery does him good.

Alexander Appleyard@avappleyard·15 May

Not a strong class at C at all... imagine that if not internal promotion would be more likely a trade. #Flyers

With Brière explicitly mentioning C as a spot @NHLFlyers will try and strengthen over summer... UFA C's who are capable of 40+ pts 1. Malkin 2. Jenner (split W/C) 3. Roslovic (plays more W) 4. Haula Not including Benn, Giroux, Johansson who basically full-time Ws. #Flyers
