That is all. Or waive him and get a look at Mcdud or Alt like you said. Alt is the oldest so i'd give him the nod becuase i think this is the last year for him in this organization There just isn't anymore room especially with Myers and Friedman more than likely joining the Phantoms at the end of this year when their season is over. So rhrow the kid a bone he can't be worse than Mcturd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, I cannot believe that Crosby is only 29. It feels like he's been in the league for ages. I guessing around 35 or so he will retire! Barring a major injury!

intheslot Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He has the 40 games in he can be picked now. How ever you can't send him down or they won't pick him. also some other team might claim him to expose him in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Here is my big problem with McDudly staying on the Flyers....I really think Brandon Manning has grown by leaps and bounds this year. He has a lot more confidence with the puck, does not treat it like a hot potato anymore. He is making some real nice crisp tape to tape passes out of his zone, and is usually accurate with the long and short passes. Because of the McCraply scenario, Manning gets healthy scratched far to often. There is a chance he is the real deal and just keeps getting better. We already know what McSloppy can do. This kid should be playing, if for no other reason than allowing opposing scouts to get a nice read on him. He is a nice asset that is being misused. Not out the question to get a 2nd or probably a 3rd rounder if he kept on the same trajectory around trade deadline time. Instead, he is fetching popcorn. At the very least, pull McPoop out and place Manning in the top 6 for the rest of the year, even if it means healthy scratching for McGoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from the lineup for tonight's game by Bill it looks like Mcdud is playing tonight. So he is good for two goals against. I know Rangers must enjoy seeing him in the lineup all they have to do is skate right at Mcbackpedal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Knut Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 On 1/23/2017 at 11:26 AM, flyerrod said: Ok, he finally has hit the magic number. Aside from his salary cap hit, what is keeping him playing with the big club? He tried single handedly at least twice against the Islanders to give them the game. He still backs into the zone challenging no one and all too frequently makes a bonehead pass at the worst possible time. I don't care if he is not going anywhere as long as he is not on the ice. His play has earned him a spot as the RJU popcorn boy along side Dale Weise watching from above. The problem is that they are short Defensively minded D men. I know that term only lightly applies to Mac, but the long story short is that switching him out for someone else won't help much in the short term unless they run into another cap situation and would rather play Gordon with the Flyers or something.

RJ8812 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Giving Morin or Sanheim 5-10 games this year is not going to kill their development no matter how the team is playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macdud rates no higher than 8th on this team behind even Schulz who actually is a definsive d-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey thanks for being on our Flyers forum and supporting us we really appreciate it! I know why opposing fans come to our forum is because it is the best place to talk hockey so I do not blame you for being here and posting brilliantly. I know you can't get much conversation going on the Pittsburgh and Canes forums so it is cool. Enjoy your stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Crosby likes him, he's a lousy defenceman playing for a team Crosby hates who allows him and his teammates free entry into their zone every...single...time.
