Good price. What i expected.— specterlaw- 14 goals! Look out Gretzky.
- Pretty good numbers for a guy who likes to mix it up. Definitely an upgrade from Carcillo.— flyerdup
- An upgrade in goals/points YES. He is not better in the mix it up/instigator department then Carcillo. A guy that fights with his visor still on is not a fighter or winner IMO, thus points are still more important.— Italia1
- ANYBODY that is willing to mix it up is an upgrade over Carcillo. When has Carcillo ever been taken seriously by anybody???? When has he won a fight???? A 22 year old 14 goal scorer can easily become a 24 year old 20 goal scorer...a number Carcillo can only dream of. — adzack3441
- I liked carbomb, the problem he had is if he looked at another player the wrong way, the refs would give him a 2, 5 and a 10. Marked men have no place on the flyers, This team is marked enough from the 70's.
— azguz - This guy will be a fan favorite for years and has 20-25 goal potential. A reasonable contract for the Flyers.— Repubrebirth
- 09-10 Season he posted 16 goals & 24 assists in 78 games...40 points...not bad for a 3rd-4th line player on the Kings....this kid had some talent...and definitely an upgrade over Carcillo who posted career bests in 09-10 of 12 goals & 10 assists in 78 games for the Flyers...a whopping 22 pts!! In case anyone did not notice...the Refs had it out for Carcillo as well...he was a target every time he was on the ice.....— sgross007

yup...good signing. This kid will be a fan favorite and with the right line mates should be good for 45 points. He fight's too!!- yup...good signing. This kid will be a fan favorite and with the right line mates should be good for 45 points. He fight's too!!
- Big young power forwards can take time to develop their scoring touch. Anybody remember John Leclair?— primetime21
- How much money remains to spend?— shawnmac
- he's 22, so yes, he can still develop...but more of a bigger Rick Tochett style player...and I agree, the fan will love this kid!— sgross007
