They look decent. The BJ, Habs, and Blackhawks games destroyed their post season hopes. And the inept PP.

Same plan to get a #1 D. Get lucky as hell in the draft at 15-20.

As well as a 2nd line center.

for me, the issue is Laughton, Poehling, and Coots are redundant. 3rd/4th line centers. Frost offers creativity those do not have.

Eyeballing the drafts from the last 10-12 years, there always seems to be a star or cornerstone player in the top 8 or so, especially weak drafts when the best players fall in that range away from the top selection. Then 2nd round there seems to some really good sleeper picks in the top part of the 2nd round, probably due to teams taking a hope on another and those players falling a bit.

One consistent thing is the Flyers always seems to be outside the range of those selections, besides Michkov.

Brink looks off, nothing Cam or Johnson touch go to another flyer.

Frost is fine for 2C, if he's playing with players above him, but probably slots best at 3C.

Anyone else think Coots looks like he’s moving much better today?

I do think Brink and Foerster will benefit from the off-season. I think Zamula too.

The jury is still out on whether Frost can be the 2nd line center. He may be best suited for 3rd line.

Pretty much everyone realizes Laughton should be moved; except the GM.

Cates needs to rebound next season and produce. His contract expires after next season. They will have a decision to make on his future.

Just terrible, don’t see the plan and no execution. Coots has been on it, put him out on pp

Get Coots and TK out there and put Simmer in front of the net.

The staff clearly has zero confidence in the players. A team doesn't need a Stamkos or Ovechkin to have a set triggerman, but it looks like they play it simple/safe and still mess it up.

They must have the same drawn up plays for empty nets as they do the PP...just shoot wide and maybe
