Tortorella also promised to play his prospects, but this latest round of training camp cuts, says otherwise.
The Flyers cut Cam York, who has been determined to be a future NHLer, given his skill set. York's a definite two-way defenseman, who has enough skill to not only quarterback a power-play but make good passes and has a good slapshot.
With how much Torts loves the two-way style of play, this move is perplexing, given scouting report's on York.
Tortorella blamed York's lack of mental prowess for sending him down to Lehigh Valley, to season up in the AHL.
All in all, given how much he preferred playing veterans in Columbus and left rookies to hang out to dry, like Emil Bemstrom and Liam Foudy, rather than develop them until recently Bemstrom's been stuck in the minors.
We'll see how this develops, while the Flyers tank for Connor Beddard.
