this is why we need to LOSE and trade players

They need to start the process in earnest.

People seem to envision a top 4 of Morin,Sanheim, Ghost and Hagg, but the truth is that 1 or 2 will either never develop or end up as one of those change of scenery type players.

They have 1 goalie prospect and a few decent depth forwards.

They have no cap flexibility over the next few seasons unless they decide to let guys like Couts, Voracek or Schenn walk.

The players other teams covet are players people don't want to move.

I honestly think they need to blow this thing up or they'll just hover around mediocrity for a long time

Draft Hanafin
Trade Coburn for a pick.
Take top goalie prospect with that pick.

FFS seriously..
Down by multiple goals and the limited offensive threats we have (Giroux ,Voracek and Simmonds) should be leading in ice time not a 3 or 4th line player.

Hextall has a plan. He's had a plan all along. We are tanking for the 2015 NHL Draft. Hold on tight.

You need forwards though. By the time that core comes together and becomes Cup caliber, Giroux and Voracek will be in their 30s

Flyers probably won't finish low enough for Hanifin
Coburn gets you a 2nd+another pick in 2016 likely.

So Coburn has the same value as Pavel Kubina?

I'd rather he be a 4th liner or get buried in the minors the next two years than have him hit the cap for 4 more years.

We also need more than just Stolarz as a goalie prospect.

If Zepp is the backup next year you've basically got nothing in the system other than Stolarz.

Agreed, but not up to a 4.6 cap hit.

My heart breaks for their clueless souls. They don't understand the nuances to MacDonald's game.

I say fired Berube. Let Murray take over without any promises made to him because Babcock is still out there. However if they have a guy in mind, let that guy get a look right now.
- SuperSchennBros

DO NOT FIRE BERUBE!!!

Wait until the offseason to do it. If you do it mid season you run the risk of whoever the guy who takes over the reigns getting these guys to play better and screwing up a top 5 pick.

Let this man keep his job the entire season, TANK TANK TANK!
