I'm glad you can figure out who I am by one sentence. Here's further explanation for you to avoid assuming. If konency figures to be a top 6 forward, wouldn't it make sense to leave him the top 6 and learn from his mistakes like Provorov has done all year. Once they decided not to send Konecny back to Junior, would it not have been more beneficial to leave him in the top 6 all year especially considering Hexy himself considered this a marginal playoff team? I thought player development was about putting prospects in roles they are expected to play going forward. Did the way konency was handled going to hurt him long term? Probably not. I'm just questioning the path of player development.

Maybe the hard core fans has no reservations about some of the personel decisions made this season. I guess only the casual fan.

Mike Richards and Jeff Carter started out on the 4th line in the NHL. Not uncommon.

People will defend this organization as if it's their job

People will criticize this organization as if they get paid for it.

Of course it's fair to question them. Hexy said he wasn't going to keep guys like Konecny unless he was good enough to warrant minutes in a role similar to what they'd expect in the future. Konecny played well, so they moved him to the 4th line and play him with Vandevelde and Bellemare?

Among Flyers forwards that have been on the team all season, Konecny ranks 6th on the team in 5 on 5 ice time.

Luca Sbisa played 4th line wing for a few games.

I get your premise man, but you really think Konec playing with the turd twins is good?

I don't have a problem with it in the short term.

On a different not, why was Colin McDonald called up yesterday? I guess Lyubimov was another swing and miss by Hextall in free agency. It's been one after another his entire tenure.

You are awesome!!

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

Agree completely. I would like to know why they aren't playing Lyubimov though.

Scheduling loss

no faith

I'm really never in favor of tanking. You can't expect prideful professional athletes to go out on the ice and half ass it and not try and win games. It's frustrating they didn't play at this level when the playoffs were still a possibility. It is what it is. They will probably pick somewhere in the #10-12 range. Should be able to get a pretty solid prospect.
