Pyorala seemed to be the victim of most people still not knowing enough about him when the voting occurred. Just like Betts is the victim of not being a Flyer until yesterday, thus missing out on being in the top 15. And Pyorala barely beat out Carcillo.

It will be interesting to re vote at the end of the season to see how the ranking change

im noticing a trend here…the public seems to agree on Carcillo’s lack of worth

I don’t know that it’s a lack of worth, it’s a lack of being more valuable than others. Carcillo serves an important role as pest (and if he can cut down on the bad minors then he’ll be even better at it) and pugilist; but while those are important, it’s not nearly as important as having solid D, goaltending and a 4th line center like Betts who can win faceoffs and what-not. I love Carcillo and think he’s the most valuable of the guys left on the board once Betts is gone. He actually can add a spark to the team as well as defend players with a good fight; Cote is the worthless player of this bunch…

powe

powe sucks .. carcillo is more valuable than him ..pyrola should be higher otherwise itsaccurate..people get to hyped about energy .. they love upshall .. because of his energy they overlook his hands of stone

Powe sucks? if energy is overrated what does Carcillo do? Hockey wise Powe does everything Carcillo does aside from fighting, and he does it without taking stupid penalties

how did Randy Jones get 5 votes? I thought he was a Phantom…

He has a devoted, but minuscule following.

anyone think the Canadiens will be calling for him with Markov out?

by Prometheus74 on Oct 2, 2009 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions

If they’ll trade for him, they can have him for whatever they’re willing to give up (even ‘future considerations’ would be fine). But I don’t want Homer putting him on re-entry waivers. He seems to have finally fixed the cap — last thing we need is a $1.375m cap hit for a player who’s no longer a Flyer.
