Either way the Blues now have their first line center and we still have to wait and see what we get for him.
- joegreif17


I'm not sure this statement is actually true at this point. Schenn finished with 70 points last season, tied for 34th in the league in scoring. I guess if you are making this argument about Schenn you'd also have to conclude that Couturier (76 points, tied for 27th in the league) is a legit first line center. Also, the Blues were thought to have a ton of talent last season and yet were a major disappointment in not making the playoffs, finishing 24th in the league in scoring. In other words, the reason they didn't make the playoffs is because they couldn't score and Schenn has culpability for that. So perhaps, the idea that Schenn is a lock as the top line center might be a bit premature.

Would the Flyers be better right now if they had Schenn? Sure, but I think the idea that he is locked in as a first line center might be a stretch still.

Why has the anti vaxxer been allowed to spew their drivel uncontested? This isn’t a topic where there are fundamental differences in opinion, there is either right or wrong. Vaccines save lives.

Like flat earthers they should be tarred and feathered.

If Brayden Schenn were a center on the Flyers, he'd be the 4th best center on the team.

I don't know about that. Many fans undersell Schenn. Patrick is not better until he proves it.

I was on Fortnite solos, but I was getting pissed lol. Switched to drop-in 3s. Don't be a stranger, boy, if franchise mode is getting boring.

I'll give it till November in St. Louis, when the Blues move Schenn onto a lower line in favor of Ryan O'Reilly.

I can say I'm competent at best. My friend is pretty good and better than me and has taught me everything. I only just started this past season. We're at the point where we can win at least a game every time we get on.

Wasn't trying to.

I saw the words "Brayden Schenn" and "1C" in too many posts for my liking.

You realize the trade was more than just Frost for Schenn though, right?
- Nucker101

That's an improvement from last year when the trade was Schenn straight up for Lehtera!

I'm happy if I even kill someone right now. I can survive for a while now though. But damn I can't build and use a fort yet.

Schenn added to the mix does not make the Flyers a Cup team. However the potential of adding top propspects like Frost might. Frost is 19. Schenn didn't play full time in the NHL until he was 20 and he didn't break out until 2 years later at 22 so Frost has some tme.

I thought you were no longer a Flyers fan and are now a Boston fan and would no longer post in the Flyers thread?

Now I'm confused. I thought he was a Penguins fan now?

I haven't read anyone state that Giroux is no longer capable of playing center. I think the argument is that playing wing is less wear and tear on his body. Did you ever consider that playing the wing versus center could help him stay healthy and stay a top player longer?
- MJL



Exactly this.

I'm not sure this statement is actually true at this point. Schenn finished with 70 points last season, tied for 34th in the league in scoring. I guess if you are making this argument about Schenn you'd also have to conclude that Couturier (76 points, tied for 27th in the league) is a legit first line center. Also, the Blues were thought to have a ton of talent last season and yet were a major disappointment in not making the playoffs, finishing 24th in the league in scoring. In other words, the reason they didn't make the playoffs is because they couldn't score and Schenn has culpability for that.

I'm not sure that Schenn is the 1c in St Louis this year. Didn't the Blues sign or trade for another center?
Edit
Had brain fart. They got ROR. I will be surprised if SCHENN breaks camp as 1c.

He trolls a lot of other threads as well.

It low key disturbs me what he does with his real life. Needs help.
