It will just be nice to have Laughton next year.

I, honestly, believe Schenn and Vinny are difficult to play with. They seem to need the right linemates. Kind of like the way all of our defenseman (Except Kimmo) need a good partner in order to be effective.

I think dropping Voracek to 2nd line and getting G a sniper on the LW would do wonders for the top 6. You know they'll take a run at Vanek.

I think Raffl is a good fit for that line. They need someone who is going to be responsible defensively. Raffl also adds speed to that line. They really just need Downie back so the third line doesn't take a step back when Raffl moves up.

I'd rather them spend their money elsewhere. Vanek will cost a ton. Flyers aren't really hurting for scoring.

"Pizza with sausage, and extra chesse., Right here dude". I had a pizza delivered to a geometry summer school class when I was a Junior in H.S. The teacher didn't find it amusing.

EDIT: Plus, you never know- maybe he finds chemistry with a few guys and really rattles off some good games.

It's worth a shot at the very least

that's the whole point of having a minor league team. develop players, give them a chance when there's an opportunity.

Damnit, just saw that John Pinette passed away. He was a hilarious stand up comic. Rough year for comedy fans

He just doesn't do anything...He should be more involved. I get he can't score on his own, but he's got to be more involved to justify the call up

maybe david laliberte is available for the 50th time.

I've been saying it for a while- the 2nd line wing spot is open.

We've also been preaching Akeson is "one of those players" that just can't play in the bottom 6 in the NHL and be successful, and I do agree with that. But there's a top 6 spot open for him.

Give the kid a shot.

Did he ever lose any weight? Haven't seen him in years. Ralphie May is next if he doesn't lose weight.

Maybe they're waiting to give him the opportunity when they feel he's ready. Part of the development process.

It's an absolute classic. One of my favorites. The guy who played Damone was amazing.

Ruhwedel has a concussion, so Rinaldo will likely get 5 games

i hope not. it was a spur of the moment reaction...and a bad one, sure, but he didn't line him up and run him. it wasn't premeditated.

No, he was still pretty big. Yeah, Ralphie has to watch himself, as well.
