I wouldn't mind seeing

Schenn Giroux Simmonds
Raffl VL Voracek
Umberger Couts Read

Put two possession guys around Vinny and that should help him get to the dangerous areas where he can be most useful. Also a defensively responsible guy like Raffl on his line wouldn't be the worst idea.

I like this suggestion.

youre telling me you arent giddy over the fact of craig adams and rob scuderi both being on the ice at the same time defending a flyers powerplay?

it will be like watching a pair of sloths trying to wrangle crocodiles.

I will say this, anyone judging him on his play in the Memorial Cup Tournament didn't really get to see him play. That wasn't the Knights team from the regular season. They were terrible.

That entire London team didn't show up with the exception of Stolarz even when he got pulled it was an attempt to light a fire that never worked.

thankfully, the period will eventually end and theyll resume play with hopefully different guys on the ice.

Gostisbehere, Laughton and Morin... the time for change is NOW!!!
- mayorofangrytown


given your in-depth, encyclopedic knowledge of the salary cap, it's logical to assume that your knowledge of roster building is equally impressive. therefore, i agree with your assertion.

In 2016?

I think the flyers need a LW. Is Raffle really going to play in the top 6 all year? Read is the only internal option I can currently see to move up. I'd trade Grossman and sign Mueller personally, Nashville has lost their minds if they think the Flyers will retain anything over 1M. That trade is looking deader then a beaten baby seal. Right?

Really ask yourself this question. Do you want Coburn out because you don't think he's cute? Ask yourself this and why you want him out because Coburn is arguably our best defensive defenseman. Losing him right now for draft picks hurts us, it doesn't help us. Putting in a rookie who may or may not be ready for the NHL to replace Coburn hurts us, it doesn't help us.

coburn has proven year in and out he's nothing special and he frequently makes dumb mistakes that lead to goals

People want to dump Lecavalier because he's expensive, one dimensional and can only play one position. We can afford to dump him because we have an embarrassment of riches at forward.

What dumb mistakes that leads to goals?

If you can't get into the zone first, you won't be getting to the net.

But yet how many shots are actually taken on net in a game, much less how many are attempted?
