All three look great in Orange and Black! Can't wait for the season to start. Now just trade Meszaros and sign Gagne. End of offseason.

Hartnell - Giroux - Voracek
Simmonds - Lecavalier - Schenn
Gagne - Couturier - Read
Hall - Talbot - Rinaldo

Laughton - Rosehill

Streit - Schenn
Timonen - Coburn
Gus - Grossmann

Emery
Mason

The lines BETTER look like this to start the season:

Hartnell-G-Voracek
Schenn-Lecavalier-Simmonds
Talbot-Couts-Read
McGrinn-Laughton-Rinaldo

You're missing Adam Hall, whom they re-signed a few days back:

I think Voracek is better than Vinny. Therefore switching them out with each other would add more to the second line. I don't think it will effect the 1st line as much.

Schenn and Voracek had good chemistry. Schenn had his best run as a pro when playing with Voracek. It was Lavi who kept thinking Briere and Schenn belonged together like Romeo and Juliet.

Schenn is not ready to be relied on as a 2nd line center. You want to create matchup issues make 2 lines that are both very good.

Laughton sitting in the press box would be a giant waste of money/a year off of his ELC.

Laughton's either gotta play or go back to junior.

Ray Emery in the presser seemed very grateful at the care and expense the Flyers took with him to find the best surgeon and place to get his hip operated on. Cited this as one of the reasons he wanted to come back to Phila.

Seriously, it is pretty amazing that he recovered from avascular necrosis of the hip and is even able to play again.

For as much as the Flyers medical staff gets maligned, this is a nice to hear about, from one of the players.

from down goes brown on hall of fame nominees


Fred Shero - His induction would give his son a chance to come to the Hall of Fame and learn about all the ancient legends who dominated the game many generations ago, instead of just trying to acquire them all at the trade deadline.

The amount of work that guy put in, to get through the injury and play again, I will always root for him to have success.

I think I'd rather see Simmonds with Coots and Schenn with Voracek. The chemistry can't be ignored.

Since we are throwing out power play units.

Giroux-Lecavalier-Simmonds
Timonen-Voracek
Hartnell-Schenn-
Umbrella format. Timonen at the top of the box. Giroux on the left half wall. Voracek on the right half wall, who also kind rovers between the half wall and right point. Lecavalier replaces Hartnell in the middle of the circle. I just like Lecavalier's hands and shot better. Lecavalier is also big in case of a double screen from the point. Simmonds in the crease.

Read-Schenn-Hartnell
Streit-Gustafsson

A little more complicated and maybe a little less talented but same format. Read plays Giroux's role. Streit playing Timonen's role. Hartnell playing Simmonds role. Schenn playing Lecavalier role. Gustafsson more so manning the point, rather then trying to work the half wall.

I'd love to see Meszros be able to return, just have no faith in it.

Schenn-Couturier-Talbot is Jvr-Giroux-Asham lite.

The good thing with Lavi, we will all probably see our favorite line combination at some point.

I think we all would but it's too much of a leap of faith. Plus, or seems like he's only stunts Erik Gustafsson's growth as a full timer.

Rather see Read with Couturier. Couturier's best offensive play cam when he was on a line with Read and Gagne last season.
