Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Atlanta Thrashers
Even though the Atlanta Thrashers organization was only around for 12 seasons, they had their fair share of big name players suit up during that time. Mainly washed up once-great superstars, the Thrashers still found a way to have a few top players on the roster for parts of their short existence. Number 5- Marian … Continue reading Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Atlanta Thrashers
Top 5: Phantoms Poised To Breakout in 2020-21
To say that the Lehigh Valley Phantoms' 2019-20 season was underwhelming is putting it lightly. Most of the players with a high ceiling were recalled early in the season, with only Morgan Frost returning to the AHL after Christmas, leaving the rest of the team shorthanded. Reinforcements are on the way, however, and the presence … Continue reading Top 5: Phantoms Poised To Breakout in 2020-21
Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Dallas Stars
As with any team in the late 90's and early 2000's that was chasing the Stanley Cup, there were flurries of transactions that may have gone under the radar. The Dallas Stars are no exception to that rule. Winning a Cup in 1999, and finding themselves in the doldrum in the following years, the Stars … Continue reading Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Dallas Stars
Top 5: Flyers Prospects That Didn’t Pan Out
For many years under the leadership of Bobby Clarke and Paul Holmgren, the organization often traded draft picks to get what they wanted for the main roster for the here and now. Even though many picks were traded, some were kept and used by the Flyers with varying degrees of success. Obviously not every draft … Continue reading Top 5: Flyers Prospects That Didn’t Pan Out
Top 5: Players The Flyers Skipped Over in the Draft
Drafting outside of the first fifteen to twenty picks in the NHL is a crapshoot, but there are a times the Flyers would like a do-over. Organizational drafting before the Ron Hextall-era was not a pleasant experience. In the 109 picks from 2000 to 2014, only 47 played for the team. Five of those 47 … Continue reading Top 5: Players The Flyers Skipped Over in the Draft
Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Nashville Predators
As a late-90s expansion draft team, and more often than not a playoff contender, It's no surprise some strange players have suited up for the Nashville Predators over the years. Whether trying to cash in on younger players, or find that right veteran addition, the Preds are familiar with wheeling and dealing to find the … Continue reading Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Nashville Predators
Top 5: Flyers Reunited with the Team
Sometimes the second time is the charm. Whether their first stint in Philadelphia was less than impressive, or they were brought back via trade or free agency because they meant so much to the franchise the first time, returning players are always welcomed back to the Flyers organization they once called home. Number 5- Mikael … Continue reading Top 5: Flyers Reunited with the Team
Is Brian Elliott Coming Back?
A few weeks ago, I broke down the organization depth in net for the Flyers. While their minor league net is taken care of, and Carter Hart has the starting gig all to himself, the biggest question falls on the backup role for the Flyers. I looked at other options that will more than likely … Continue reading Is Brian Elliott Coming Back?
Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Buffalo Sabres
Since their inception in 1970, the Buffalo Sabres organization has seen many changes. They have gone through 19 head coaches, eight general managers, and eight owners, and with that many different schools of thinking, there were bound to be some random players that suited up for the Sabres over the years. Number 5- Raffi Torres … Continue reading Top 5: Players You Forgot Were Buffalo Sabres
