I hate this team
If offered, would you trade our 1st, assuming it's a worst pick than St.L, for Holtby?
He has 2 more years at 6.1 million.

no.
Haven't we seen enough hockey to come to the conclusion that the goalie position is not about the Goalie. Take any goalie , put them behind a great responsible defensive team and voila a good save percentage. Put them behind a bad scoring team and voila a terrible save pct. The goals last night scored on Mrazek were primo scoring chances. No one is going to save those.
I felt he was in a no win position there. It was 3 on 1 with someone coming down the backside. if he dropped into butterfly he would not have been able to maneuver to stop a backdoor pass.a ECHL goalie should of been able to stop the last one.

But in fairness, it's scary taking chances when you have Dmen who can't play a 2-1 properly and a goalie who can't stop breakaways.
I'm not even talking about defensemen jumping up. Even the forwards.But in fairness, it's scary taking chances when you have Dmen who can't play a 2-1 properly and a goalie who can't stop breakaways.

This team is 26th in shot attempts (many coming from the point), 30th in scoring chances, and 29th in high danger scoring chances 5v5. The only way you are scoring at a respectable clip that way is if you are shooting at unsustainably high percentages. It's a pretty simple concept.
But if you are afraid of giving up an odd man rush once in a while, you are not going to score in this league.
Only 6 teams in the league score at a lower clip than the Flyers 5v5- Detroit, Carolina, Vancouver, Montreal, Arizona, and Buffalo. Not the company you want to have.
All of those teams are shooting well below the league average too so lack of skill factors in there. The Flyers are right around it. They just don't score because of lack of volume.

Well, Hakstol's scheme doesn't slow down the first line, or even the second line (they've had plenty of HDSC since Lindblom arrived).
So maybe it's just wretched talent on the other two lines and the bottom of the defense?

I can't wait for Laughton to leave and go on to become a 30-40 point 3C with good defense.
I think you could get away with trading less because not many teams need a goalie but I would do this in a heartbeat unless our management team really believes Hart will be ready before 2019. Elliott and a second for Holtby. If Washington goes out quickly this could happen as they need cap space and would look for some major changes in the orgIf offered, would you trade our 1st, assuming it's a worst pick than St.L, for Holtby?

No but I would give them Simmonds.If offered, would you trade our 1st, assuming it's a worst pick than St.L, for Holtby?

So kinda like what hak sees in filppula, eh?I can't wait for Laughton to leave and go on to become a 30-40 point 3C with good defense.
