Maybe Patrick is off seeing a specialist outside the city. Maybe there’s no progress. It’s all speculation at this point.
If it was that serious the Flyers can always put him on LTIR.
The fact they haven’t might say something maybe not.
My wife used to get severe cluster migraines. They would last a month then go away. Two years later she would get them again.
She grew out of them according to the doctors.
Patrick may always deal with this or he could grow out of them.
Until there is an official statement one way or the other I’m in the wait and see mode with no expectations.

Yes but your wife doesn't play hockey so her concussion risk is pretty low

Let me re-phrase

"In the vast majority of trades"

Better?

Absolutely.

But even still, the vast majority of his trades, like most GMs, are for bottom-6/3rd pair/depth players and 4th round + picks. That's just the nature of the game, and most of those trades turn out as nothing major (exceptions like Leino, Sharp, etc. do occur). So I'd say when it comes to bigger moves, then yes, his track record isn't great...much like many of Hextall's moves (most of his had cap implications, however).

But I get it. Fletcher is a horrible GM and he's going to make panic moves that will ultimately sink this team into a hole impossible to recover from.

This is a bold assumption on your part.

I love the Frost call up. On paper, Frost should give us nine full lines should score. My issue is, giving too much responsibility to a kid who has had an unbalanced start to his career. I like seeing him play ahead of Twarynski but I’m not so sure placing him between Giroux and Konecny is the way to go.

I understand that, but at the same time, they're insulating him with players who should compliment his skill set. If they're out there protecting a late lead, I'm sure he won't see a second of the ice. But if they need a goal late, I'm happy having him in the lineup to put out there a few times.

Good news to hear that Laughton is getting close to being ready to return.

Well if she is driving properly but even then it is low compared to a pro hockey player

Maybe he's married to a professional women's hockey player/

Wing isn’t going to cure all Giroux's problems.

Niskanen has been the Flyers best defenseman this year. I want to see more from Provorov, especially considering his new contract.
