I'm just glad Laughton stuck around and showed them the Flyer way of folding in the time of need like had been handed down from his previous Captain!! From generation to generation!!!
A fringe playoff team or misses the playoffs all together right where many of us predicted.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Flyers must win out i think and need help from all the other teams guess they should be getting the golf clubs ready...
62 points in 30 games just sounds sick for a defenseman though.
I need other here that keep up with junior hockey more to tell me if this is impressive or not.

Another Paul Coffee or something?
Well looking at the standing and the Red Wings have bumped the Flyers out and the Caps are ahead of them.
I just don't think they deserve to make the playoffs if they can't actually win their spot.
Just the way it goes shows us this team just doesn't have what it takes.
The plus is that they are getting a better draft spot. That's it.
Give me a 2nd and 4th this year and you can have him.
These are the only ones you have a shot of pulling off i'm afraid.
Pick up to half his salary just to move this guy for i would hope at least a 4th.
I run with that.
So at the draft i add a 2nd and 2 4ths to add to 2 1st and 2 2nds they already have.
Laughton's 2nd replaces the one traded.
Cam's 4th give them a 4th they traded back.
Anyways i love a 4th line of Cates Poehling and Hathaway.
Well hold your breath they have already mentioned about trying to bring him back in the offseason.
So yeah seeing them struggle down the stretch I sure hope doesn't make them say "yeah we need to give that guy his 4.5 mill for the next 5 years" now.
It won't be long I day by mid season next year that Hunter McDonald will be ready to contribute to the Flyers he has gotten rave reviews just in the little but of time he has been with the Phantoms.
He just maybe the the steady stay at home presence a kid like Drysdale needs.
I am holding out hope.
York/Sanheim
McDonald/Drysdale
Is a very solid top 4 from a youth perspective.
I hope if given the chance they can develop chemistry with some coaching from Shaw.
Not sure who fills out the bottom pair?
Ginning/Attard?
Can't say at this moment.
I really really hope they can move Laughton at the draft.
It could be where they try and move TK.
Also with the caveat they mist acknowledge they need to move these guys for assets towards the rebuild first.
If they start this "Well we were close" shat all bets are off.
Yep he knows he is headed to that seat in the sky and letting someone else take over this mess...should be Brad Shaw.
Let's get it over with.
They need a better draft pick than playoffs right now I think.
Blow this muthaf uka up!!
