Howie58 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The O and B have compete level but limited compete talent. The stats posted (Corsi, Fenwick) of late confirm their shots aren't leading to goals. Defensive breakdowns don't help. If Gagner isn't traded I wonder if he'd be kept on a one-year contract at 1 mill. The guy has some offensive skill. Weal is wasting away on the bench...can't see what he has to offer.

OccamsRazor Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Wow save of the year by Neuvy....if they were to somehow make the playoffs remember that one right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The starting goaltender job is Neuvirth's to lose, IMO. Tonight sealed it for me, he's earned it. I know the most he's ever played is 48 games in a season, but he's impressed me immensely. What a save at the end of the game. He seems to make saves close to this caliber almost every time he plays.

hf101 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Nice win by the Flyers. Jake says these next 6 games are critical in terms of this team having a chance to make the playoffs. so far 2pts out of 12 in this important stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swflyers28 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm a little on the fence about keeping Neuvy as the starter, they are both playing well. That was an absolutely amazing save. If they can get their act together and stop not showing up for period 1 and play a 60 minute game, they might make the playoffs. Either way I'm still going to watch but I am not going to flip my lid if they lose. I don't expect much from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm completely content with keeping them both at Equal time, neither of them has shown to be superior to the other. # GOALIE GPI GS MIN GAA W L OT SO SA GA SV% G A PIM 35 STEVE MASON 37 36 2113 2.70 13 15 7 3 1117 95 .915 0 0 2 30 MICHAL NEUVIRTH 27 24 1527 2.20 14 7 4 3 771 56 .927 0 1 2 In other news, MacDonald's can actually clear the puck on the power play, so that's something new. @hf101 I'd say it's pretty crucial to take most of them to overtime, 6 points behind Detriot for a Wild card spot but only 8 points away from the Rangers and Islanders.

Yes.....It is entirely possible/probable that the puck crossed the line but due to the stick/glove you could not see it unobstructed. About time we saw one go in the Flyers favor for a change.....

Yep gaining ground is all that is important. 3 points out of the 8th spot with a game on hand with Pittsburgh. They got some help too. Ottawa, NJ and Carolina lost. Flyers must keep the winning up.

murraycraven Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Fun game for sure... need to keep the winning going. The post trade deadline schedule is a beast so I still think they miss the playoffs even if they happen to go on a nice little run. Glad Neuvy bounced back after the bad Carolina game... ride the hot hand in net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't proven himself in previous years unless you include incredibly small sample sizes in which he had a high save percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can keep him even at his $3.2M mark (he's a $4.8M cap player this season with retained salary from Arizona) I think he'd be "worth the money" - assuming Hackstol thinks he fits in with the system.

Yeah, if you can't move him, but can sign him for somewhere around 3 million and slot him in the top 6, bringing him back makes sense. But Gagner's skill set doesn't lend itself to a bottom 6 role, nor does his probable price tag. That would fill out your top 6 with Schenn, Couturier, Gagner, Voracek, Giroux, and Simmonds, though, and I'm not sure that those parts quite fit together. Gagner - Couturier - Schenn could be an interesting combo to look at over the last 20 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think he's a moveable part with a new, reasonable deal if a better top 6 option comes along. Still don't know why they've never really given him a shot at top line LW. I presume there is something they've seen in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I think he might work well with Couturier and Schenn (Who has the best S% on the team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I hate to say it but Gagner's value may be diminished after non-use here. Forgot the salary sibsidy from his old employer. Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
