103? Danger zone

Tiny little /s at the end as brelic said.......

Can't get worse that bum.

I'm honestly done with this team. They had all summer to prepare and they put on a showing like this....to the Islanders of all teams. The first line was atrocious. Giroux, yet again, came up small they needed him the most. The guy is a bum and should have been traded long ago. Cooter - don't even get me started. Patrick is a soft as a piece of bread he was unnoticeable out there. Everyone keeps speaking of these oh so wonderful kids coming - "The future is coming" - Yea, right. Where were they as they got their ass handed to them by a inferior team. I didn't see any kids stepping up. Not one of them scored. What are they going to tell us next? Wait another year and help is on the way? Typical Flyers BS. Just another year of lack-luster performances. /s

It sucks that Patrick is hurt yet again but calling for him to be traded would be selling him at the bottom of the market. The same can be said for Morin. The good news is the cupboards are full and we don't have to rely on these guys because there are kids banging on the door. Let them get healthy (Patrick) and get in the lineup for a 20-30 games and then make the call on whether they should be moved.

If anyone finds a broadcast of this game, please post a link.

I would trade Ivan for Marner if both were signed for the same number of years. Flyers need offense and have enough defense. Rip me, it's okay.

Can't wait to see what Cole Cam can do!

No. I would fill that spot with the best kid in camp. Just say no to retreads.

Good speed, good hands. AHL through Thanksgiving at least.

Perfect opportunity to move Ghost to wing. No, I'm not kidding. He would actually be a perfect 3rd line winger.

Ghost & 11 would definitely have to be involved. Toronto would try for Sanheim but Fletch better say no. So then it would come down to Patrick or Frost. And I'm stuck at which one I would be okay with parting with......but I'm leaning toward Patrick. Frost slots at 3C this year - that's risky when they just shored up their centers for the next 3-4 years. G/Coots/Marner JVR/Hayes/Voracek Lindblom/Frost/NAK or Hartman Raffl/Laughton/NAK or Hartman

On the face, I think it's too much money for too many years. That being said, there are no other options out there and Fletch had no choice but to sign a 2C. Could you imagine if he didn't get a 2c this summer? Flyers brass must be breathing down his neck. Flyers fans would have lost their collective minds. As Brelic said: Don't forget that this helps 5 on 5 and the penalty kill. They don't have to waste Couturier/Giroux on the PK as much. I do think that this causes some issues in the future. Where does Frost fit in? Couturier just gained a huge bargaining chip. What does the middle look like in 4 years? Couturier, Patrick, Frost, Hayes? Does Couturier get traded and bump everyone up one line? Will be interesting to see how it shakes out in the future, but for now the Flyers are a better team than they were 2 month ago.

If you can make this happen, I would be very happy with this summer and looking forward to October.
