Not sure if either of you read the article but he said he'd like to add a few pieces either through trade or free agency
- ClaudeFather

saying is one thing, actually doing it is another no?

GM's say a lot of things. means little until its actually done.

they can still add and bring back the core correct?

This is incorrect. Changes dont need to be made. Just little tweaks. They need to add a player or two and I would agree they need a Vet Dman. The rest of the roster is fine. It comes down to adapting. Teams know how to counter the Flyers play. It is up to the coaches to alter their system. PP is the biggest system overhaul needed.

no thats my opinion just as this is yours. This same group hasn't and wont get it done ever imo.

individually good players, though its clear they are not and haven't been a good team. how many coaches do they need before the players are moved out?

So should he have said he will do nothing and then do something? Why wouldn't he be adding to the core, or potentially trading a piece of it in return for something that fits his vision? Your comments are just vague garbage.

I cant believe you havent realized from the demonstration of this poster's substandard intellect and affinity for scrub goons, that youre engaging with rinaldo

WTF is the point of your comment then? What does it matter, it will be determined in the offseason. He made it known he will be looking for some changes, that's a start.

I respectfully disagree. If you want this team to compete for a cup, it's going to take more than tweaks.

It would be interesting to see what Ghost is worth on the market. On one hand he just had a down year but on the other his cap hit and contract length still justify even his down play and this could be an anomaly.

Getting a #2 Vet D is not going to be easy in my opinion. I like the blog above this one that outlines some options.

Couldn't disagree more. This approach got Hextall fired with cause. There is no evidence or reason to think a minor tweak will have any more impact then last years minor tweak (signing JVR). The roster is not fine. They have shown no ability to adapt or change in order to get the most out of what is a talented roster. Can't keep blaming coaching....the Players are the problem.
This team is just as inconsistent, soft and underachieving as they were 3 years ago. They haven't gotten better...they've regressed.

Id look at Drew Doughty, i think he would be a great add to the blue line to mentor Provy, Sanheim, and Myers. Along with Gudas, adding another bottom 4 pairing defender like a Jordie Benn or an Anton Stralman type would really balance out the defense well. and also wouldn't break the bank.

I don't think Fletcher would come out and say Gordon is the coach without really taking a look at all the options.

he would if he was sold on the fact that he is the right guy for the job....

The Clown is doing every bit of voodoo clown magic to make that happen just so he can blame the Flyers.

I would say you’re very wrong, changes need to be made. Tweaking or dinking your way around the edges gets you more of the same. This team needs changes.
