Patience pays, but circumstances differ. It's a weird case where I don't think that Bob would have become even half the goaltender he is today if he didn't leave Philly.
I agree that some goalies take time, but it was obvious that he was going to be a very good goalie. They didn't stick with him and allow him to develop as needed. They panicked and made a rash move. Bryz looked good because of the Coyotes were a very good defensive team and showed his numbers to be slightly inflated. They are still regretting that signing.
Nobody’s sayin’ trade farabee just to trade him… if you can use him to move up in the draft or in package for someone like Tkachuk in Ottawa , you do it..
The story of Bob in Philly should be a cautionary tale on how they should handle Ersson. Patience pays.

I love Apple from all the time I've spent on HFboards. He's just so reasonable and sensible. This community really does benefit from his presence.
remember they traded Bob because they had made a huge commitment to Bryzgalov unfortunately.
Love me some Appleyard.
I would love to know what Trevor Connelly’s Uber rating is!

I know he`s not a position of need but you can`t pass on Cole Eiserman. His ceiling could be at Matthews level.
Sebatian Batch? Johan is confused right now. 😅
HF Boards. Lol. Jesus….
If Mr Appleyard wants to build credibility he should stay far far away from that joke of a “Flyers fans” site
