2018-2019 Roster Talk, Part 5

[Adtar02]

Why not switch voracek and tk. Gives better defense and possession to g and tk can learn responsibility from coots.


This way we still have three lines. Instead of two and slop

 

[Oskar Man]

Sounds like a perfect time to recall Jori Lehtorgo!!!

I have no issue with this under the condition that he has to skate from Allentown to Philly. That should buy us a few months

Ah, maybe not.

If Simmonds is gone;
call up NAK to play in his spot.

Let's claim DSP ?!

Bailey - Raffl - DSP as our 4th line. Would be fun to watch them forecheck.

I think NAK is the right call to replace Simmonds. Young, can hit, feisty and has speed and some decent hands.

 

[Curufinwe]

DSP is a better option than Varone.

 

[Deadpool8812]

DSP is a better option than Varone.

Everyone is a better option than Varone

Not Lehtera.

[Appleyard]

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, but definitely don’t put him on the top PP unit, right?

I hate coaches.

 

[Appleyard]

 

[VladDrag]

Is this all situations?

 

[Appleyard]

Is this all situations?

Yep, not ideal, but that is all that is shown.

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers three current goalies are ranked 11th, 19th and 50th in SV% this season (minimum 15 GP).

That’s cool stuff. Thanks Appleyard.

Amac is laughably bad. Ghost is insane. G loves that far side and I love seeing him there. Patrick 100% needs to take Simmonds spot on the PP1

The thing that surprised me most is Provorov... just insane how often he gets to the slot. But then start thinking about it and it fits, so many chances from there when jumps into play and sees a seam. Honestly so, so few Dmen can do it, and it is a big reason he scored more goals than any NHL Dman last year.

He's been really aggro lately in the offensive zone. He's at or behind the goal line all the time.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He jumps into every rush. It’s why him and Sanheim aren’t the greatest compliments, handedness aside. One of Sanheim’s best attributes is joining the rush and on a pair with Provorov, he’s a stay at home D. Like a young Jay Bouwmeester. Gord would be proud.

 

[Striiker]

Hold on... I thought Ghost was the only selfish defensemen who tries to score and makes mistakes....

What is funny is I actually think once established in the OZ Ghost might be - alongside Gudas - the most responsible in terms of puck management and thinking of defense, balacing it with offense... AMac is too tbf to him, and Hagg to a lesser extent (he creeps up more often), but both are just more ineffective in other areas for it to be a big positive.

Ghost finds the balance pretty well in general. Though that is only in regards to once established.

It is fitting that the goalie we just traded for is #50. Because that was such a slick smart move. Still pissed, no reason to help Edmonton with their cap situation for free.

Yup, Ghost isn't even remotely close to as risky and aggressive as his little hate squad likes to pretend. He knows when to pinch and when to fall back. Provorov easily causes more odd man rushes against but his reputation saves him from the same punishment from coaches and hate from "fans".

On top of that, Ghost is a f***ing magician when it comes to keeping pucks in the zone, especially on the PP... he's like the polar opposite of Streit, who somehow managed to fumble every puck he ever touched.
