Yep, all three add so much depth. Hayes completes our top 6 and Braun and Niskanen provide some much needed options on defense.Love what I’m seeing with the systems.
Also, not to be undersold: being able to throw Kevin Hayes out there at center in addition to Couturier is a huge difference maker, & Niskanen & Braun are significant upgrades to the D.
Year 4, age 22... prime breakout territory.It's actually really fitting that a player like Konecny is popping off in the first year without Simmonds. I don't think you can really say that any two players, outside of Giroux, more embody what it means to be a Flyer, so it's essentially a passing of the torch.
I agree completely.Yep, all three add so much depth. Hayes completes our top 6 and Braun and Niskanen provide some much needed options on defense.
There's still room for improvement with our bottom 6. Right now we essentially have two 1st lines and two 4th lines. But once Patrick returns and one of Frost/Farabee join the team, we'll have a pretty well-balanced lineup.

Marchand is a great player; I don’t think Konecny is there yet & probably never will be, but Konecny is certainly capable of 60 points & hopefully he keeps getting better like Marchand did.It's still a lot of variables, but if Konecny can somehow magically transform into our Marchand with all these steals, if Provorov can just be a reliable goddamn #1, if Hart can be the culmination of this side of the state's suffering... then all will be well. Still a big ask; I'm terribly pessimistic.
We rarely agree, but I agree with you here.This was an example of good Provorov. I think Provorov is best when he's carrying the puck and when he's driving the net. His mistakes come when he's pressured in his own end or when he has to make decisions with the puck on the PP.
I've already been doing this so its got a decent chance of catching onI know this isn’t on topic but I will not rest until the WFC is singing Carter Hart’s name to the tune of Baby Shark in unison. Printing pamphlets and ****. Tell your friends.
I'm friends with Ken Daneyko but I actually despise the Devils way more than the Rangers or Penguins. I hope they never make the playoffs.
I posted once or twice before about this I believe...
but I always really liked Daneyko - as an analyst!
Pretty darn unbiased, and for a guy who played the game in that era and the way he did is no "dinosaur", and actually seems to be more progressive in his analysis than people 20 years younger.

Nice to be on the right side of a positive goaltending accomplishment vs the Devils. feels like every Marty Brodeur milestone was vs the flyers.
We outplayed them and would have won regarless. Last year even with that save we would have lost. AV has the team except a few playing solid and should get better. I'm happy for a change lol.I think this agreeing is because Hart made that save.

So he's basically Fowler but better. I'm alright with this.

That's actually probably a good comp.
Definitely think they woujld have lost one of these two games last year. Had Hakstol flashbacks against Chicago and expected them to give up the patented last-minute goal and lose in OT. Killing off two 5-on-3s would have been impossible last year.
I don't if you're serious or not as I can't really hear the song when I am watching on TV. If you are serious, I feel bad for everyone in the WFC because that song is awful. The song title is a little more than ironic to me. YMMV.
