RiskyBryzness Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The Flyers top lines once again did very well. 10-28-93 really drove the offense today; on the ice for the only even strength goal and connecting on the PP goal. Laughton really deserves his first NHL point, hopefully he'll get it soon. Umberger needs to be scratched next, or at least moved down. A healthy scratching of Lecavalier and Umberger would definitely do wonders. Streit and Grossmann really struggled despite Grossmann's goal. Schenn's time in the press box seemed to motivate him, and he was the best Flyers defenseman today along with Del Zotto. It was refreshing to not see AMac on the ice today, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is back Tuesday for Schultz or hopefully Grossmann.

AJgoal Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You know what's impressive to me? Look at Laughton's CF% vs his offensive zone start percentage. His shots for vs shots against was fourth best on the team despite starting in the offensive zone only one third of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briere48 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 coburn has to go too, everytime he's on the ice, there's a goal against, it's like he's drinking before every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiskyBryzness Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Laughton has been the best player on the ice during most of his time up here. Hopefully 12-49-17 can find the back of the net soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change up something while they're looking to trade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So gets traded him or Coots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiskyBryzness Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yes but he needs goals and assist or he will be another Coots. So gets traded him or CootsThis really makes no sense. Coots has turned into a great defensive center, one of the best shutdown centers in the league some might say. He has generated a lot of chances. No points in a few games is not a problem.

OccamsRazor Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 No points in a few games is not a problem. Not just that he is the least of this teams worries right now. Especially with this AHL defense they are icing every night. You know its sad when defenseman are a hot commodity around the NHL.....except any of the Flyer Dmen no one wants these bums....except the Flyers.

Laughton is a few games into his NHL career and gas already looked better than 90% of his teammates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If a very good LW is available, I move Couturier, and permanently promote Laughton. That's 1) how happy I've been with Laughton's on ice product, 2) realize that Couturier just isn't needed as badly by the team currently (value will never be higher and all that), and 3) realize that the Flyers sorely need a winger/sniper.

Even then, our main problems aren't solved. Raffl and Schenn have done well enough on the 1st line LW. I think Laughton is permanently promoted at this point as 2C anyway.

OccamsRazor Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If a very good LW is available, I move Couturier, and permanently promote Laughton. There is Mikkel Boedker is available Yotes want to move him. I'd like a shot at him but i'm not sure i want to move Coots for him. I'd be more willing to move Read for him but not sure if that is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His potential is untapped. The fact he is not producing in its own way is actually good - he has no leverage to demand a steep increase in salary. I woudl just hate to see him scoring 60 points for some other team 2-3 years from now. And I do beleive he is quite capable of at least that output. What is the urgency?

OccamsRazor Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Some ugly numbers to support the theory about the main defensemen not playing take it for what it's worth... ...you tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree wholeheartedly that Grossmann and AMac should be benched, but Coburn has too good of a track record to give up on just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 but Coburn has too good of a track record to give up on just yet. What have you been watching since he came back???? He has been brutal since he has came back from injury the Rags game he turned the puck over that lead directly to a goal....sorry but he sucks and it's time to find a new address for him.

OccamsRazor Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't know if i'd consider Boedker "good" let alone "very good" Plus he is their best young forward. It's not his fault his is a LW and they have him at RW. Dude is better than pretty much every winger on the Flyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been brutal since he has came back from injury the Rags game he turned the puck over that lead directly to a goal....sorry but he sucks and it's time to find a new address for him. He played poorly in the games immediately following his return. In recent games he has played about on par with the rest of the team in pretty tough usage, very little offensive zone time and playing against tough competition. Plus he is their best young forward. It's not his fault his is a LW and they have him at RW. Dude is better than pretty much every winger on the Flyers. Why are we even focusing on the Coyotes? He isn't that good, and i'd take quite a few of our wingers over him (Voracek, Simmonds, Schenn (if you consider him a wing at this point), Read, Raffl).

RiskyBryzness Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 If we can trade Coburn to Edmonton and get a decent return, such as Perron, I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Boedkers amazing career stats 28 points, 3, 14, ,24, 26, 51 and 14 this year Couturiers lousy career stats while playing great defensively 27, 15, 39, this year 8. The grass is always greener... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
