Bill MatzHOST
And I think it was, and we might get into this tomorrow, um, Kevin Kurz had a good piece on The Athletic, like, one question for every team, and this year, or one question for every player on the team, basically.
Bill MatzHOST
And it was like, something about Noah Cates, like, if he wants to be, like, a lock the way we look at him right now, he's gotta be a little bit more consistent.
Bill MatzHOST
And, like, he had great scoring season last year, but there's also, like, an 18-game goal drought in there.
Bill MatzHOST
Little things like that, would it shock anyone if, I mean, shock a little bit, but say Barkey gets some time at center and he looks real good there.
Bill MatzHOST
Noah Cates suddenly, okay, guess what? You're on the fourth line.
Bill MatzHOST
Like, it's not as if he hasn't played fourth line minutes in the past.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Bill MatzHOST
... like, one possibility there in terms of the internal competition that they're really gonna be pushing.
JeffHOST
...
JeffHOST
Our top line center, maybe Trevor Zegras, probably Noah Cates.
JeffHOST
Not very reassuring.
JeffHOST
What else is out there?
Colin KelleyHOST
or Owen Tippett plus maybe it's just two roster players.
Colin KelleyHOST
How about a Noah Cates? If they want a center, a Noah Cates is a part of a secondary roster asset in a package I think it's something Columbus wouldn't would certainly consider and I think it's something that the Flyers would have to as well because Adam Fantilli you just don't find that type of player all too easily I think there's so much on tap potential still with the player although he's not Leo Carlson I think it could certainly still project as a potential number one center certainly as a top six center immediately for the Flyers.
Colin KelleyHOST
And as far as completing their core, shaping their core for the future, a perfect profile.
Colin KelleyHOST
Going to be his start of the season, just 21.
RickHOST
who are the wingers that are going to be in the top nine? So obviously it's going to be even that much more difficult for one of these guys to get a winger spot.
RickHOST
And then centers, you already have, you have Dvorak, Zegers, who's kind of more of a hybrid type, Cates, who could play either on the wing or down the middle.
RickHOST
Obviously, Sean Couturier is Sean Couturier.
RickHOST
And then obviously the talks of Denver Barkey now as well.
25 MINS LATER
RickHOST
No question about it.
RickHOST
And then, obviously, the other winger has already got some level of offensive output.
RickHOST
If Noah Cates goes down there and Barkey does move to center, you have a 47-point player on the wing.
RickHOST
So I'm looking forward to seeing Taka actually use a legitimate fourth line.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Yeah.
Bill MatzHOST
Like, and- If you have the guys you're, your thinking can make those re- like, "All right, yeah, man, we gotta say goodbye to Noah Cates, and that stinks, but we have Knuble, we have like Kirill Marchenko," and like suddenly it's not as hard of a pill to swallow.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Yeah.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Yeah.
Blake CreamerHOST
But who is gonna, who is gonna be his center, right? If it's Zegras, then yeah, I'm, I'm absolutely, uh, I'm definitely more interested with Forrester.
Blake CreamerHOST
If it's Christian Dvorak, right, or Noah Cates, it's a different-
Louis BouletGUEST
Uh.
Blake CreamerHOST
It's a different style, right? Like, uh, obviously that plays more to-
Steele RodinHOST
This team badly needs a number one centerman, because no disrespect to Christian Dvorak, it ain't him.
Steele RodinHOST
It's not Noah Cates.
Steele RodinHOST
Trevor Zegras stepped out last year, but he's much better as a two C.
Steele RodinHOST
They need someone to really establish themselves.
Steele RodinHOST
I don't know who that is this year.
Steele RodinHOST
And then I think you could look at Martone, Tippett, and Michkov, and go, "Wow, they're gonna explode," but if Sean Couturier has to eat minutes, that's a problem.
Steele RodinHOST
Noah Cates, you know I like him as a stream option.
Steele RodinHOST
He's not draftable.
Bill MeltzerGUEST
It seems like the plan at the beginning is to split them up.
Bill MeltzerGUEST
Do they end up back together at some point? Is Noah Cates going to move back to the wing as he used to play? He's been a center the last couple of years, but he's been so effective in the role they've had him play.
Bill MeltzerGUEST
And the one thing that Noah's asked is saying that He doesn't mind playing wing.
Bill MeltzerGUEST
He's happy to play center, but he doesn't want to bounce back and forth.
23 MINS LATER
Chef BHOST
And it looks like that hockey gene rubbed off on Cole there.
Chef BHOST
And he just, he's just, he's solid.
Chef BHOST
He's like an overall, I could, you know, kind of reminds me, not playing style, but the character, like something like of a Noah Cates, who's very versatile, can play, do a little bit of everything.
Chef BHOST
And I just think if he keeps doing what he's doing, that's the kind of player you find room on your roster for.
Jordan HallHOST
So a prospect doesn't really make or break their chances at making the team in rookie camp, but they certainly can open eyes.
Jordan HallHOST
I even remember years ago when Noah Cates was first coming up.
Jordan HallHOST
He played in the rookie games.
Jordan HallHOST
He looked so good, and he ended up making the team out of camp.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
I've, I look at Ruohonen as he is ...
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
When at some point, whether it's because of an expansion draft, whether it's because they just end up trading him, whether it's because they let him go after his contract's up, I think he's the guy they have in their heads as the Noah Cates replacement.
Bill MatzHOST
Interesting.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
I think, I think he's, they are thinking in their heads he is gonna fill that role, because all the things he does well are all the things Noah Cates does well.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
You watch him, there is like, there's some Noah Cates clone in his game.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
He's m- he maybe plays with even a little bit more bite than Cates does, but there are a lot of similarities in.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
They found a spot for Noah Cates.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
I think if Ruohonen keeps on this trajectory, they'll find a spot for him, too.
