Probably.

Yes, he IMO deserves more of a spot on this team than Marcus Foligno and that's huge for me to say since I have NEVER been a Flynn fan

If it's on the 3rd line, then yes.

I see no point in him wallowing on the 4th line or 13th forward.


Trade him to give him the chance or get him in Rochester.


He's a competent 3rd liner, who's been asked to do to much on a sh!t team, and IMO is a 15/15 guy on a competent team.

Time to make you boys and girls think.

EXCLUDING Orr, Bourque, Chara, Coffey, MacInnis, Lidstrom, Potvin and Leetch, who are your top 3 modern-era defensemen?


For me, it's Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer and Rod Langway.

He was a key last year. For the most part he was MIA for their 1st one.

I know you disagree but he was bagged on big time for it.

Gunner posted a graph here a while ago that showed how LA's offense skyrocketed when Carter was acquired. Same thing with Gaborik

Both of them were key to their cup wins

Agreed.

Flynn is fine for now. He plays hard, seems like a really good guy (easy to pull for), decent on the PK, good wheels. I think if he bulked up just a bit, he has enough of something to play in the league for another decade, maybe bouncing around on a few teams, but valuable enough where he'll always get a contract somewhere. I like him.

Yup that sums it up

I do think at least one of Doughty, Keith, or Shea Weber will end up leapfrogging a handful of those names when all is said and done.

Carter was bagged on as a no show during the playoffs in 11/12 for the 1st two rds.

And rightfully so, he was invisible.

Not with Dalpe being signed now. Dalpe probably takes his spot.

Hey, I just state facts.

- dadeadhead

Maybe he was, but when it mattered he scored. Had 8 goals and a few GW.

Compare that to Vanek getting worse as the playoffs go deeper and I think it's fair to say Carter is better at this point.

However I agree I have no interest in Carter nor do I want him. I just think he's a really good borderline great player that gets a lot of critics, that's why I say he's under rated. But agree to disagree

Disagree.

Dalpe seems more like a "help Rochester and call up when injuries happen" move.

Some of those people aren't me..........


Dalpe is an AHL depth signing/poss call up. Not a thing more.
