    i can think of 16 right off the top of my head

     

    I really liked Torts' comment. It was interesting: "The intangibles that Scotty brings sometimes outweighs what he does on the ice," Tortorella said. "He wore an 'A,' and I think that's for a reason. Other people didn't. It was only one 'A' [the first two games] and I thought he deserved that. So he brings a lot of that stuff to us."

     

    Torts says alot of things about a lot of players. I like how he "thinks" there is a reason SL wore the "A". I would've thought the head coach would know

     

    Good lord

    That's an opinion written by someone paid to produce material. If Torts had said it, it would have weight. And if SL was the only one wearing a letter, who is this "group " the article references? 

     

    OK, enough.

     

    First, that's just disingenuous. He was the only player to get a letter. And Torts did comment on his leadership: https://www.nhl.com/news/scott-laughton-emerges-as-leader-example-for-philadelphia-flyers/c-336450704

    On a solidly built team, SL is bottom six, most likely 4th line.

     

    Second, how many teams meet whatever your criteria are for "solidly built"? Three? Four? Laughton could easily play 3rd line center and first unit PK on the vast majority of NHL teams. He's an upgrade in the top 6 on several. Because he's reliable.

     

    We already know you don't really know that much about hockey, you don't have to constantly remind us.

    Does he just need top 6 minutes that Detroit can't provide? He had some shots at top 6 and didn't deliver....but I still wonder if there is untapped potential there...

     

    Dunno, it's not a team I follow much. Maybe @yave1964 could weigh in with some insight.  6th overall and so much excitement about him after he came over to play in Halifax.

    I have seen him score a few nice goals, but mainly considered a bust in Montreal. Splitting hairs, but I give him vet minimum tops. Half mill on the cap can add up. 

     

    Yeah, it's a bit of a head scratcher. Good agent I guess. Maybe he's good in the room lol

    It’s time for Flyers to finally move on from the past — and a culture that’s been holding them back

    I agree with the article.  I call this the Flyers "DNA Problem."  It is time to move on.  No Ray Shero, or other tie to the Stanley Cup Era Brigade.  

     

    I agree Howie. The thing I don't get is that the Flyer identity - tough to play against, hard working, team first etc. - exists *regardless* of whether people like Clarke are around or not. It's in the culture to a large extent, it's in the sign guy's signs, it's in fans' expectations, it's in the minds of the local media. You know what I mean? You don't lose it if Clarke is gone.
