Anyone else here the schenn bros for eberle and petry rumors and someone else if perron is included?

Petry is an impending UFA. With Ghost, Morin and Hagg coming up in the next two years I think the last thing Hexy wants to do is trade assets for an impending UFA D man that he basically has to sign just to make the deal look good.

I would still try to deal for Eberle though. And then Perron if the cost for Eberle is too steep.

does a random poster on a hb thread count?

With the Flyers and Avs struggling out of the gate you've gotta wonder if these two teams might talk trade early in the season, like they did last year.

Somebody named Mike Panteleone has it for Broken Bell Sports, no idea of his rep or validity.

As Andrew Devitt, blogger who wrote above, mentions while referencing the rumor from Broken Bell, there have been reports from guys like Dreger & MacKenzie that Edmonton is shopping Petry and looking for center help.

It's a big leap from Couturier & the Schenn boys for Eberle, Perron & Petry, though

The flyers fan page app is also reporting a similar rumor and that francis boulion turned down a contract offer last week from the flyers

Boullion was reported a few days ago by Ren Lavoie formerly of RDS

I agree that Akeson is not suited for 4th line duties, but the bottom line is that there are better players ahead of him on the roster. And he can earn more playing time by playing better. Like most young players do.



Berube knows that he plays MacDonald too much, and even said so recently. But he doesn't have a lot of choice there. The Flyers don't have a legitimate top pairing defensively, and MacDonald is one of the best choices they have. And MacDonald is a far better defenseman then some fans such as yourself give him credit for.



He doesn't under utilize Voracek at ES. The problem is the type of icetime that is available at ES. Flyers face lots of D zone starts, which the Couturier line takes a lot of. Which is why Read and Couturier are high on the team in ES icetime. And that's because right now, the Flyers are very inconsistent as a team defensively, and he only trusts the Couturier line in the defensive zone. If the Flyers were a better defensive team, and controlled the puck more, Voracek's ES icetime would go up. So stating that Berube underutilized Voracek at ES, is flawed and incomplete analysis. Bottom line is more offensive opportunities available at ES, the more ES icetime Voracek will get.



Umberger is 7th on the team in ES icetime among forwards. Which puts him in the 3rd line category. Which is what he is. He is a veteran player adjusting to a new team. But judgements have already been made on the player, 5 games into the season.



Only a 3 game sample, but Lecavalier ranks 11th on the team among forwards in ES icetime. And he's been primarily used in O zone starts and offensive situations. Which is exactly how he should be used. Still a good offensive player who has value to a team. So stating that he has been over played or over valued, is simply false.



Matter of opinion. I have no issue with how he handles the goaltending starts. But nitpicking is always present.



Brayden Schenn deserved to lose his spot at 1LW. At least temporarily. He wasn't skating hard, getting on the puck, or doing anything that you need a 1LW to do. So a message was sent. And not sure if you noticed or not, but the last two games, Schenn has ramped up his play, and was rewarded with 20 minutes of icetime. Which is a lot for a forward. Classis case of taking away icetime for poor play. And rewarding good play with icetime. QUality coaching by Berube there.



I'd like to see Read get a shot there personally. But I'm not going to label it a mistake to leave a player in a spot and a role that he's been great at. And to label that as part of not getting the most out of a roster, is flawed. Because none of us know if he would be good in that role or not. So that is just speculation, and isn't a valid reason for stating that the coach is not getting the most out of the roster.



Akeson is below other players on the depth chart. He has to earn icetime on another line. That's the way it is in the league for some players. And not uncommon. A player that the Flyers will face tonight, Patrick Sharpe started on the 4th line in the NHL. As did Carter and Richards. But apparently, Akeson is above that and too good for that.



Couturier is 21 years old. And we're 5 games into the season. Lots of season left for Couturier to develop his offensive game. So a bit premature here. And criticizing the Coach for the way he uses Couturier, with the roster the way it is, and the current state of the team defense, is silly. He doesn't have much choice.

Sounds pretty desperate to offer him a contract imo

You see the defense?

Flyers offered him a two way deal and told him he'd have to start in minors, per Lavoie. That's why he said no. Not interested in bus rides at his age.

i'm sure they'd love to fleece us again in a trade but we don't have much left to dump now

Nate Horton might have his career ended by his back injury, per Aaron Portzline. That sucks.

Couts for Eberle doesn't make sense from the Flyers standpoint to me.
Eberle is really another top six RW where they have Jake and Simmonds.

Petry is upcoming UFA, I would not spend assets for that.
If they want to swap VLC/Umby/other vet for Petry sure. But Brayden Schenn? NFW.
