I was waiting for this reasoning...if a player is playing so poorly due to injury then they shouldn't be playing and deserve twice the blame. That is unacceptable.

Each Flyer is under contract and if able to play, must play. This is their job. They get paid handsomely to do so. I believe there has to be a number of reasons why a player is sitting in order for them to sit. Now if their boss (the coach) sits them out, totally different story but if the boss thinks it’s best for them to play and are medically cleared to do so, must play.

This link from NHL.com contradicts that though. This one stats NHL players

So not exactly the same as Vegas. Got to love the NHL not being consistent

I. Don't. Know.

But to think that we would lose 100 pts is absurd, because they would be replaced at least partially by his replacement(s).

- DrMidnite

Like the players who replaced B Schenn? It doesn’t work...last year would have been this bad if Coots and G didn’t have insane seasons

So Bob Mc was on NHL Network and said Fletcher is just fielding calls on Simmonds right now and could still decide to keep him

The link I looked at said the rules were exactly the same as it was for Vegas but it says NHL players not professional players. It would be nice to get confirmation. If so it could explain some things.

Cool then they play, but that doesn't mean they are exempt from criticism for poor play...which was the whole point of the conversation, not whether they should play or not.

Hey give him a break, it probably took him all day and countless calls to find out "things are happening".

The fact he might be resigned is a slight surprise to me. All we hear is he'll be traded by the deadline.

Posturing for teams looking at trading for him. I can't imagine a situation where we'd offer him anything he'd be willing to take tbh.

Not really a surprise he "could re-sign"...technically he "could retire" or he "could play in the KHL" or he "could take Colby Cohen's job". I "could do this all day"
