Schenn isn't going to get much better than he already is. Bob was pedestrian when he left before turning into a stud. If you think Schenn goes to another team and suddenly turns into an 75-80 point player then that's just nuts.

Schenn doesn't offer enough at 5 on 5 for me. That's what it comes down to. This core needs a change. It's been 5 years and 3 coaches now with the same results.

Playing third line with a couple cull have not helped Schenn at even strength but the kid competes every night and has turned into a pp sniper. Trading Schenn or Simmonds would be a mistake as they have a pulse. 93 and 28 would get more maybe in a trade and I like 10 and 17 better. More importantly keep them all but overhaul that defense and a guy like Mason will return from the living dead.

17 and 10 have more value to this team but 28 and 93 have more trade value? Other GMs aren't this clueless. I will also be sure to consider what players you "like more" when suggesting ways to fix this roster.

macdonald is not going anywhere but the top 6
- penguininnevada



I know he's not going anywhere but slot him 5 6 and not on the top pair.

Two big points they missed out on there. LA and Florida are dropping points at an enviable rate

lyubimov has always looked more than serviceable, that's on hakstol not hextall
- -davies-


Well Hakstol can't recall players from the minors. Hextall makes those transactions. Lyubimov has never really been given the chance to play consistently.

You are awesome!!

Flyers win.
McDonald scores.
It's a beautiful day out.
Oh hey lets complain about something related to the Flyers.

- opeth_pa


I didn't realize it was complaining on why a player had to be called up, when they have a 13th forward that Hextall signed as a free agent collecting dust.

Eliminated in the final week is the definition of a bubble team
- Just5


Although mathematically they were eliminated tonight, everyone knew for at least the last month this team was dead in the water. Not really a bubble team.
