He's not shown enough commitment to his craft and his play has slid so dramatically over the past few years, he's simply not worth a contract. Besides, the Flyers have kid like Laughton who don't need to be blocked by the corpses of former stars

I think Berube's choices there had as much to do with available players as it did with strategy. - Jsaquella
Point being that I'm a little hesitant moving Schenn out and leaving Gudas as the only real physical presence on the blue line. I'm assuming Medvedev is not especially physical

It's a minor concern. Ideally they can get a better skating guy who can play physical hockey

so 2 unproven players and read who is on the downside of his career and we're stupid? - 2Real
Two great prospects and a proven top 9 winger off a down year for a guy who is 1 year away from UFA
How you word it is relative. He's obviously a better player than Read, but the difference between the two isn't worth Hagg and Laughton. That's insane.
