Observations from 2017 Flyers development camp

Good article. Sounds to me like we have a lot of high level talent on the way, even not including Patrick, Morin and Hagg, who are not in the camp. Carter Hart could be the next Vezina winner for us. In two or three years, he could be our starting goalie and I wouldn't be surprised if he's Matt Murray or better right away.

So, if Patrick and Lindblom both make the team (as it appears they will), two of Read, Lehtera, Weise, Raffl, Weal or Vecchione will have to sit (on the bench or in the Ahl).

Either way, there's going to be a shitload of competition at training camp in September, that much is very clear.

I'll be at the beach in OBX while most of it goes down, so give me the scoop when I get back...Lol

If Carter Hart is the real deal it makes every other player that much better.

I agree Manning is fine decent and good contract. Rookies must beat out guys like AMac if not bring them along slowly until they do. The guys not that bad it's just a horrible contract. Stick to the plan Hexy....

I can see Hexy working him up like he has a few others (Schenn, Streit) and getting more bang for the buck out of them.....maybe just maybe Hexy is trying to work him up so he can get a great deal to ship him off.....

That would make sense as we have more position players in the next few years than we have room to put them.

Just a teenager, Carter Hart already mentally fit for Flyers' future

Cote says Weal was ‘screwed with politics’ last year by Flyers

Cote says Weal was ‘screwed with politics’ last year by Flyers

I think Weal will be given a chance to play on the top line this year. Cote may actually be right about this one.

I think Weal will be given a chance to play on the top line this year. Cote may actually be right about this one.

I like his chances too. Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, Patrick, Weal, and I think Lindblom, will be the 6 most offensive forwards on the team this season, they should be the top 6. The bottom 6 is where the question marks are to me. Aside from Couturier and maybe Filpula, I'm not sure anyone has a locked down spot.

The nice thing is, those are question marks because we have about 8 guys that could fill the final 4 spots and with just about any combination it will be better than last year's bottom 6.

Forgot about Konecny

Maybe he replaces Lindblom and Lindblom plays with Couturier.

I hope so id like to have another offensive threat on this team. I like that he goes in front of the net and battles for a smaller player.

Last years bottom six was embarrassingly bad offensively.

Last years bottom six was embarrassingly bad offensively.

Every line should be better, really. This is courtesy of Patrick, Lindblom, Filppula, Weal, Vecchione, Raffl and even Lehtera. Patrick and Lindblom will probably have us forgetting about Schenn in a hurry. Filppula and Weal were only with us for about a quarter of the season.

I only mention Raffl because he missed 30 games last season. Vecchione only played in 2. Lehtera was just traded for. All three of these guys are probably better options than PEB, Lyubimov or VV. Raffl and Lehtera could effectively play on any line also.

Not just all of these guys, but I fully expect Giroux and Voracek to be better. People look at Giroux, but what about Voracek? He's really only had one great season with us. He's paid to be a lot better than that and it needs to happen.

It will be interesting to see where guys like Read and Weise fit in, if at all.

I like the way this team is shaping up, hope they make it far this year and actually surprise some folks.
