I thought he was one of Philadelphia's better wingers

Oh, "everyone who disagrees with me is salty/ a hater." Solid defense.

I, for one, am very thankful the Flyers give big minutes to a guy who can't play in his own zone at an NHL-caliber level.

he's acknowledged around the entire league for being very good. you don't think one of the first conversations Sullivan had with his team was to shut down Ghost? quit being so ignorant. there isn't a GM in the league who wouldn't want him on their team. it's a total myth that he's poor defensively. advanced stats back this up too.

For great reason.

Maybe one day Morgan will reach that status.

Morgan is better than ghost

No, honestly the Flyers don't have a player good enough to singularly focus on shutting down.

yeah, who'd want to to try and shut down the league's 2nd leading scorer.

I believe that came as a result of stopping the Flyers transition game. How many 2-on-1's did they get the whole series?

In an ideal world the Flyers should be running something like this:

Provorov - XXX
Gostisbehere - Sanheim/Morin
Morin/Sanheim - Gudas
Hagg

With XXX being a guy like Jeff Petry, a really solid top 4 guy. Then during the season they can see how Sanheim and Morin develop, either they're happy with them or they consider bringing in someone at the deadline (maybe a hockey trade including whichever one of Sanheim/Morin they like the least).

Unfortunately they have MacDonald making $5 million. If they could pull of a trade for someone like Petry by sending MacDonald the other way then that would be huge (though I imagine that would cost). They have Filppula and Read coming off the cap this summer which frees up $8.625m, so maybe they can do something creative.

though in an ideal world for the Pens, they keep dressing MacDonald, Manning and Gudas.
