Say again...


- Glak18


Lindblom plays more like Scott Hartnell and less like Knuble who actually plays a lot like Kerr but similar to LeClair who always reminded me of Simmonds.

Sorry if I get auto corrected in there. Some how it voids my point...

They have plenty of cap space

You can never have enough cap space.

I heard when JVR gets back, he is going to be 2011 postseason JVR reincarnated.

They are, as is Lindblom. Again my point was Lindblom's play style is closer to Simmonds than JvR is to Simmonds...not Lindblom is Simmonds.

Too many arguments or replies occur because some people can not read words.

IMO if Lindblom and Patrick are still playing well together and the 3rd line with Weise and Simmonds are playing the same then you have to put JvR on the 4th until he gets his legs back. I don't care how much he is getting paid, he is getting 7M to help the team win.

I mean who is the most expensive defenseman the Flyers have? I don't hear anyone yelling swap Provovov with AMac.

It's certainly not a bad idea to start JVR on the 4th line temporarily to let him get back in game shape.

I wouldn't worry, if we lose tonight people will be screaming to blow it up and change every line. Weise will be moved to the fourth and JVR will role with the third line when back. You are fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

Flyers should just put Neuvirth on LTIR already! Could use that cap space come deadline if we’re contenders
- Buzzo



Can't just stash a player on LTIR. The Flyers are 10M under the cap and the Flyers are not eligible to use LTIR yet. Many still do not understand what LTIR actually is.

That doesn't have squat to do with the idea.

Actually most people seem to think LTIR is free space. No team wants to use LTIR if they don't have to.

Yeah...that was auto correct, uh huh.

I think I tried this before, but what is your native language? Depending on the language maybe I can speak that so it is easier for you to understand.

I did not state that he would be. I did however say it's not a bad thought.

So coming back from a pretty serious injury and starting a few games on the 4th (with PP time) because the team is winning and other lines are performing well is considered foolish?

Lindblom plays mostly like Simmonds because he pounces on lose pucks and wins board battles because that’s the only thing Simmonds does to make himself relevant and there is no better example in the league.

Brilliant assessment

You don't bring a guy back to play sheltered minutes, if he is ready to go he's playing where he should be (top 9). Am i really having a conversation on this site on why JVR should play over Weise? Insane.

I just cant see it going well. I can see the thought process behind it but can also see all the turmoil it would create with the fan base and media. It may backfire and create even more unnecessary pressure for him.

I'm not sure, you may have to question yourself here. So if the team is still winning when JvR gets back, the obvious thing to you is...change it up, right?

I guess you also have the assumption that when JvR gets back in the lineup that means he is ready to go 100%, right?

How long did it take Giroux, Couturier or Simmonds to get back to NHL shape after surgery or major injury?

Screw the media and the fans...if the team wins that is all that matters, well to most.

So Dale Weise moving to the fourth line is going to break the winning formula??? He may not be 100% but that doesn't mean he's skating on the fourth line. What line was Giroux on when he came back?? Think before you type.

What does your race have to do with it? I asked what your native language is, does that mean it's French?

Out of curiosity, how do you all see Coots? Player-type based on last season and this year in the 1C role.
