Hopefully when Laughton returns he can hit the ground running, a 4th line of Raffl-Laughts-Pitlick I think would look really good out there.

If Patrick comes back, where does he go? If he is gonna end up centering JVR and Voracek, that would be a real heavy line. I mean the skill level compared to other 3rd lines would be crazy, but would that line work?

I wouldn't expect Patrick to play in 2019.

Agreed, if we see him at all I think it is after Jan 1.

I hear you but those other two lines are not clicking at the moment and with G playing well lately I think he can get Jake going. Also, Jakes effort has been great, still some dumb passes but that's what you get with him.

I would not label Voracek's effort as great. I think he has another gear.

Take nothing for granted in this league but this is a game where I'd love to see them route the Sens 5-1 or something along those lines.

Hopefully this isn't a typical Flyers let down game.

Question: If you could have PK Subban or Shea Weber right now, taking their cap hits and contracts into account, which would you choose?

I'll take the younger one.

10-5-3 feels pretty good, man. Considering that difficult road trip to start the year? And recently goin up to Toronto and Boston?

Yeah. Feels pretty good.

- Hesh_

Agreed. Hoping for 5-1 game tonight. Let’s stay out of OT and win in regulation.

I like webers game and what he brings to the table a lot more than pk, but iirc, webers contract is longer etc, and he's older. Also , not sure what the Nmc s are for those guys. Can I say neither? Haha

Neither is the correct answer. Rather have a goal scorer so we don't have to try to win in the SO

The question I ask is that, when they were traded (which I think was the same day as the Hall for Larsson trade), people called it a steal for Nashville. However, judging it solely on on-ice performance since the trade, I think Weber's been the better player. How much longer that will continue is the big question given his enormous deal.

It wasn't a Flyers-specific question, just a general which one would you rather have given the option.

Quick question about tickets - can someone explain how the standing room tickets are sold?

Can you only get them at the box office on gameday? I don't see any available online and I'm hoping they're not just sold out all season!

Yes. It's an interesting debate. I remember hearing that the analytics guy the habs hired was vehemently against the trade also because of cap considerations.

I don't mind subban but he's very 1 dimensional. I don't like him at that price as I don't think he's enough of a two way player to say he's a top two dman. If he's not scoring like crazy what does he bring?

Well, even if I'm not considering the flyers, I don't want either if I'm building a team.

Weber's deal was completely front loaded. If the question is who to want TODAY and based on current contract and point in time...Weber is by far the better choice IMO

Yes, but keep in mind that Weber is 4 years older (34 vs. 30) and has 4 more years on his deal than Subban does (6 vs. 2).

I still think I'd take Weber with the cap rising and with no more recapture penalties to be incurred.

Sens have beaten some good teams at home. TB, Carolina. Hopefully Flyers aren't looking past them to the Islanders tomorrow night.

Is it me, or does Brady Tkachuk score every game against the Flyers?

And Jake on Spitting Chiclets was

Yeah, but the Flyers shouldn't feel as over-confident as those teams. They've been playing well, no doubt, but they're still an unproven team over the long haul.

Sens have been showing some flashes of being a better team this season and we can't overlook them but, IMO, this is a game we should/must win. They don't have a bad line-up but if we play our game (not down to the competition- freaking Hak) then we should win by 2-3 goals in regulation.

- jmatchett383


interesting question. Weber is 34 and has 6 more years left on the contract with a cap hit of 7,857,143 altho the last 3 years is only 1 million in actual salary (how the hell was this contract legit?)

Subban is 30 with only 2 more years left at 9 million

I mean, just for talent alone I think i lean Weber but the question is will weber be effective ala Chara thru 40 or will his play drop off. at the time of the trade i was all Subban but I think i go Weber even with the contract. its not cut and dry to me tho
