I would agree with you. They could use another forward. They could use a sniper on the Giroux line. They could use Simmonds holding onto a puck and not playing hot potato. Imho, Simmonds has been the biggest disappointment.

this is why i want us to get vanek at all costs
Vanek Giroux Simmonds/Hartnell would be a good top line

then

Voracek Schenn Hartnell/Simmonds

Read Couturier Raffl

It is what it is I guess.....I can't paint this pig pretty.... If Giroux can just get 1..... He has the talent to win this series by himself....

The thing is, they are continuously giving it to Simmonds to try and carry it up the ice. He should rarely be doing that, but they do it because he has the speed to do so.

That 2nd line is such a cluster(frank) and its needs to change. Stop trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. Having other lines contributing, would also help open up room for Claude.

rangers play a tight defense so simmonds isn't really getting open in front of the net and lundqvist isn't really giving up those fat rebounds he's great at putting in

He tends to do badly in games where there is close checking and no room

You are negating his contributions by asking him to be the puck carrier in the transition game.

They need to put that Hartnell-bSchenn-Simmonds line back together, and wear down the Rangers. Switch it up

Really people? He has Girardi and McDonagh on him all game long. It's not hard to see your stats go down when facing that pair. If he was facing, say, Timonen and Coburn like the Rangers, I'm sure he'd be putting up points. But if you can't tell that he is working his ass of then your blind. You want to be pissed at someone. Read and Timonen would be good bets. No hustle from either and lax with the puck.

I do hold everyone to that level.
Giroux has no excuse for not burying that shot at the start of the game.
Hartnell, Giroux, Couturier, Simmonds, VL have pretty much been useless offensively to this point.

Im not moving Schenn because the Flyers have a lot of centers though. If they can move him to fit a need (1 or 2 dman) or a legit winger to go with Giroux and Voracek then I do.

- opeth_pa

I agree on trading for a need. The flyers have too many centers and IMO schennis the one to go.

You aint kidding. That whole shorthanded mess up and 2 on 1 going the other way was a direct result of him not skating.
