He’s on pace for 52 pts. And Mika and Kreider are on a PPG pace. Not comparing the 3, obviously the latter 2 get much more PP time, but they also have an anchor dragging across the bottom of the sea on their line. I think Cuylle would help that line tremendously 5v5.

I think Laf hits a surge later on and can hit 55-60. Mika and kreider are always a ppg bc of the PP numbers. All the great high paid players lead their team 5v5 and make their line mates better. See panarin. Just need a little more from those two at evens

the last two seasons Kreider scored 47 even strength goals total

I think this theory he doesn't produce 5 on 5 is a crock

He’s by far better there than Mika 5v5. I probably shouldn’t lump them in together bc it’s really Mika we need more from but they don’t leave each others side

Not complaining about his individual performance. It’s just crazy tbose two can’t lift an avg winger. More so surprised

Average for Wheeler would be a improvement. He's terrible.

I think if I was drafted by Winnipeg I'd ask for a trade, I think I'd play for Philly though

Ive said it before many times, Kreider's biggest weakness, sans the once in a blue nifty pass he will make, is that he is not good with the puck nor is he a playmaker. I respect the hell out of him for what he does do well on the boards and in front of the net, however Kreider isnt the type of player who elevates others.

Mika can make plays. but hes limited by the fact that theres no dependable RW to pass to and set up with. Kreider, once hes in the zone, goes straight to the front of the net or is in corners/behind the net. So as far as cycling, passing and playmaking... Kreider isnt really a threat. Wheeler is smart, but he is slow, teams get tape on him, see what hes doing and hes shut down. Hes simply not fast or quick enough to handle the pressure of pinching defenders.

Got our first big cold snap of the winter coming up this Friday/Saturday. High of -26 Celsius, before windchill. Otherwise it's been a mild and pretty nice winter up here

Im surprised, atleast for me, that after well over a decade we havent done any meetups. I feel like atleast once a year, we should all meet and have a Festivus of our own. I feel like, hands down, would probably be one of the most hilarious evenings of everyones life.

Haha, nah we'll be fine. Just stay inside for a few days. We're not actually that far North. It's an hour drive to the US border. We just get blasted by the arctic jet stream coming down from up there every once in a while and it sits here cuz it's so flat

Flyers head coach John Tortorella also commented on the trade following Philadelphia's 4-1 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.

"Then, we don't want you," Tortorella quipped when asked about his reaction to Gauthier's apparent disinterest in playing for the Flyers.

"I don't know Cutter from a hole in the wall. I'm not too interested in talking about him. I rather talk about Jamie. He's the guy that's coming here."

I 100% agree with him though. F this entitled kid and all the entitled kids like him. Fox pulled the same nonsense and so did Vesey.
