he should be playing over braun at this point. I like braun in a 6th role but friedman can do exactly what he does w/ more aggression and is younger/cheaper. Hagg is so damn slow, braun is clueless...

exactly. This season is starting out like the last one to me. Once we get all the boys back we will dominate and run away like we did last year, except we will be better this year. Ghost is made for...

i don't think its going to be that bad. Ghost is finally healthy and if he can be solid, he can be a good partner for prov. Hagg is so damn slow and braun should only be on the 3rd pair. The team is...

best lines we have had in years. We finally have an amazing 4th line that should've happened last year if patrick/lindblom weren't out.

I am too. This team is stacked. Crazy thing is that I think we are going to be even better next year. G and Voracek might be older and slower, but farabee/patrick/lindblom/tk/hart/frost are going to...

idk why we cant keep myers with provorov and find sanheim a new partner. It seems that sanheim has always had a reliable partner his whole career so far why provorov has only has niskanen

castan...looks like hoglander will be on the 2nd line with horvat to start the year. excited to see how he turns out

a half season could be good for Patrick as well. He gets more time to recover and hopefully its enough to where he can play a 3C role. THen the following year would be a real growth season for him.

ya i agree there. All of those contracts can turn into a win though which is nice

who do we give up though? can't give picks so it would have to be a young player they like too. They would probably ask for farabee and we would get like an added pick or something

tk, provorov, lindblom have decent contracts too.

it will really suck if there is not season and players contracts are delayed a year. We would have braun until he is 36 instead of 35, we keep jvr's contract for longer, hayes...not good

I don't think its insulting to say braun is as good which actually tells you hagg ain't that good. The numbers don't show that hagg is what is preventing the goals. Constantly being outshot, losing...

what on ice results? Constantly getting buried, not making solid passes, slow af, doesn't win many board battles. At this point its honestly luck and the team carrying him. Most of his usage is with...

hagg has some of the worst numbers of all defensemen in the nhl. Him and braun are going to be a disaster. book it

i think we should make myers the permanent partner and find sanheim his permanent partner. Its a lot easier to find/get a 2nd pairing than a top one. I would love to sign montour next year in FA:
...

would be cool. Zamula has a really calm game. I would love to trade jvr or even let seattle take him if jvr does well. I think jvr and ghost can have a bounceback year and if they can, trade ghost...

patricks been scrimmaging again today, some better defensemen and players joined too. Baby steps ..but promising

going back to castans lineup..

Yup, no way should laughton be in the top 9 if...

i think that lineup can get it done. Remember, we missed out on 3 potential 15+ goal scorers in frost, lindblom, patrick in the playoffs. Thats huge. Whereas if we trade sanheim our defense will be...

ya i don't get capsers love for laughotn lol. I like him but not that much haha. He is a 4c who can be an effective winger when needed. Key emphasis on needed because we shouldn't have him there when...

i just don't understand some of the hate provorov gets. Yes, he isn't the best pp quarter back and I would love for ghost to get another try but crying for sanheim on it...i mean he hasn't really...

i disagree about frost not being a center. I think both Patrick and frost can do wing or center though. I definitely think frost is ready. Look what suzuki did. Suzuki ain't THAAAAT much better than...

i want the 4th line to be raffl-laughton-nak though. I wouldn't mind Patrick and laughton flipping until he gets back into it though but we still have frost that can center too.

g-couts-tk...

i think patrick and frost is key to maximizing as much out of jvr as possible. I don't blame him for not being as effective when he plays with grant, Thompson, pitlick. Wtf are we expecting him to...

According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman in his latest 31 Thoughts blog, the Arizona Coyotes and the Flyers have talked about a potential trade bringing defenseman Jason Demers to Philadelphia....
