I guess even if Hart is found innocent , he will probably be traded due to the bad publicity . I just wonder how much his value has diminished.

The Canadiens are hammering us all over the ice and checking tight, we can’t get anything going.

The Canadiens tough dmen are pulverizing our guys.

Just heard, the Flyers are working on getting him here. Even though he’s 28, that’s fine, if Hart isn’t coming back Fedetov is the perfect backup to Ersson. Kolosov will need time in the AHL anyway.

Are there any management positions that Torts can move to? We already have Jones as President and Briere as GM. That leaves maybe a VP job? I don’t think a guy like Torts would be happy as a VP, he would probably be eyeing Jones’ job within a short time, it might create problems.

I agree with your assessments but even if we have the best defense and wingers and win lots of battles we are not coming close to a cup with Scott Laughton as your #1 center. We need to move up in the draft and grab one of those top 2 centers, although we might have to wait another year for them to be ready. I don’t see many teams looking to unload first and second line centers. The only one I’m aware of is Zegras, but I’m not sure if he is the answer. York has really emerged ,Attard and Ginning look solid, Zamula too, Bonk is kicking ass and Andrae is almost ready. We have too many dmen , we may have to trade Drysdale and our pick to move up. Or else Konecny since we are stacked on right wing and our top prospect Michkov is also a right wing. Center is our top priority

Behind every great wingers success is a skilled playmaking center.

The worst PP three years in a row . This has never happened in the history of the NHL and we also are one of the worst in the shootout since its inception.

Great effort, but when you look at the Rangers fluid puck movement , PP skills and quality plays they setup as compared to our choppy plays, it shows us how far we still have to go in the skill level. Gotta love that pass by Frost to setup Tippett. We would be morons to trade that guy. His creativity is exactly what we need more of.

Sandstrom has my vote for MVP.

I agree, but we gotta dump Risto for him to get a shot.

So far they have both done a good job filling in. I guess we will see what happens in the off season.

I think they did go in for a playoff run that’s why they traded for Johnson and that’s why they kept Laughton and Seeler. Of course they contradicted everything they said , but only to a small degree, at least they didn’t give up first and seconds to beef up for a playoff run, they just made minor deals and kept a few vets who’s main contribution is leadership and character in hopes to make the playoffs but without sacrificing the future like they used to do. Let’s also clarify , I do not love Laughton, I tolerate him.

Of course Attard has way more skill than Ginning, but I think Attard was taking too many chances and got caught up a few times, where Ginning was more solid defensively. In one of the previous games Ginning had some nice hits too. They actually complement each other nicely, Ginning stays back and Attard makes the plays offensively. They could be a good inexpensive third pair, but we have York, Sanheim, Drysdale, Zamula, Seeler and Risto, so there is only room for one guy. If Andrae makes it next year, then we have to dump a couple of guys if Attard is gonna get to play, Ginning is going back to Sweden any way.

Yes Attard and Ginning are looking solid, I’d almost say that Gimning is actually looking a bit better than Attard. The shame is ,we just re-signed Seeler and we have no room for Ginning. He is supposed to go back to Sweden due to having no NHL chances.

The problem is we have too many skilled right wingers and only one skilled center, Frost. I like Poehlin, he’s a perfect third line center. Poehling is a more skilled ,bigger faster version of Laughton, that’s why Laughton should go. We need to get a top line center ASAP, especially since Coots is washed up. We need to get one in this draft, but we have to move up.

We don’t even know if the Flyers offered up Laughton, I don’t think they did. A team like Toronto as an example, that already has skill but is lacking intangibles and grit and needs PK help, that is exactly the type of team that would give up first or a good prospect in the offseason, especially if they go out early in the playoffs due to the lack of his intangibles. Back in the day the Rangers traded two skilled forwards Tony Amonte and Doug Weight for two Laughtons named Noonan and Mattheau ,because they had enough skill but needed the grit to win in the playoffs. They won the Cup that year and Matteau scored one of the biggest goals in Rangers history. Laughton is a clutch player and a playoff type of guy that teams need, you can’t have an Austin Matthew’s on every line. I know you hate him but teams that are 90% compelete finally win when they get a Laughton type.

They really started swarming us in that second period. I think we have some real good potential finishers, what we really don’t have are table setters, some highly skilled setup guys. You get some centers with pucks skills and suddenly our 20 goal scorers become 30 goal scorers. Frost is the only one with play making ability and pure offense vision. Look at our other centers, Laughton, Poehling and Cates, these guys are third and fourth liners at best. The offensive flow comes from the centers, when we dramatically improve in that area and start winning faceoffs and control the puck with some flow , you will see our wingers score even more and our PP will finally improve . We need two more skilled centers before we can even be pretenders. Heard a disturbing stat the other day, the Flyers have had the worst PP three years in a row, that has never happened in NHL history.

He needs to be used a pylon for skating drills in practice.

The clutch way that Laughton is playing and his character is really increasing his trade value. There is gonna be some playoff team that goes out early due to lack of center depth or poor PK , etc and they are gonna believe that a guy like Laughton is what they need. So if someone offers a first I would do it. It’s just more ammo to trade up in this draft.

He’s not gonna last six years , he’s fading fast and will retire early because he won’t be able to play up to his personal expectations. The media and twitter jerkoffs made too much out of this. How about the guy missed two seasons, it’s his first year back and he is out of gas. He just needs a rest. Torts probably wanted to rest him throughout the season but a guy like Coots will not want to sit out, now that he hit a wall , there is no choice. When you get L5 back surgery it also affects your legs and you feel like you are skating in quick sand, you lose a lot of power.

He’s helping us fall in the standings to get a better draft pick. He’s everything I’d hope he would be.

Tremendous goal by Frost, he has made some highlight reel plays over the last few years. I like him and wanna keep him. Everyone says he needs to be more consistent, but we can pretty much say that about the whole Flyers team.
