2020/21 Roster Thread II

[bennysflyers16]

Lindblom Coots Tk

Wasn’t this the line that was on fire to start the year?

Sure was, and it was sick. That is my top line for next year.

 

[Prongo]

Sure was, and it was sick. That is my top line for next year.

So you second line is Giroux - Hayes - Voracek?

 

[Tripod]

So you second line is Giroux - Hayes - Voracek?

Giroux Frost Jake
JVR Hayes Farabee

 

[Prongo]

Giroux Frost Jake
JVR Hayes Farabee

Replace JVR with Lindblom and I’m ok trying it.

 

[Tripod]

Replace JVR with Lindblom and I’m ok trying it.

Lindblom would be on the 1st line...lol.

 

[Adtar02]

Replace JVR with Lindblom and I’m ok trying it.

Lindblom was with coots

 

[kudymen]

Asking for fascism doesn’t seem very fascist.

What can I say, not a great duce but I am trying

 

[Rebels57]

If there wasn't freakin expansion, we should be making moves to be a possible championship team. Couldn't have happened in a worse year.

I mean, we could still make moves and figure it out later.

For starters, if it's a player for player move it might not have any bearing on expansion (such as the rumored Jake + Ghost for Gaudreau).

Can't really afford any UFA signings regardless of expansion.

 

[Striiker]

Lindblom Coots Tk

Wasn’t this the line that was on fire to start the year?

Yeah, Lindblom-Couturier-Konecny was together from game 1 until game 19. After that they were split up and we had some different combinations until Lindblom was taken out for treatment after game 30.

But I don't think they should re-unite them. Those three could potentially be our 3 highest individual goal scorers next year and putting them all together without any of our best playmakers is probably not the best idea, both as far as what's best for the team and them individually. Not to mention our playmakers need people to pass to, otherwise they're wasted as well.

That's why I've been suggesting this:

Lindblom-Couturier-Voracek
Giroux-Frost-Konecny

Basically two first lines and each one has a nice balance of playmaking and goal scoring, without sacrificing any quality.

So you second line is Giroux - Hayes - Voracek?

I'd rather be shot in the head. Hayes can not be with anyone who needs the puck on their stick to be effective. He's too detrimental to his linemates.

Put him with guys like JVR and/or Farabee.

 

[Rebels57]

I'm also in the "reunited Oskar-Coots-TK" camp.

They flattened the competition when together in the 1st half. I think their run ended when TK got concussed and a few days later came the Oskar diagnosis.


Lindblom - Coots - TK
Giroux - Frost/Hayes - Jake
JVR - Frost/Hayes - Farabee
Raffl - Laughton - NAK

If they trade JVR simply move Laughton to 3LW and plug Bunnaman or Laczynski into 4C. If they trade Laughton, same 4C replacement options.

 

[Tripod]

You gotta feel that a new GM, now with a new coach with a year under the belt, will want to make changes to make it "their" team.

Deep down, I think we could see more deals than we expect.

 

[Striiker]

Lindblom-Couturier-TK wasn't our only dominant line last year. Others had comparable numbers.

At 5v5...​	Lindblom-Couts-TK​	Giroux-Frost-TK​	Giroux-Couts-Voracek​
TOI​	177:43​	90:30​	252:43​
CF%​	58.39​	58.37​	57.31​
xGF%​	54.46​	54.98​	58.31​

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Point being, it's not a no-brainer to put them back together and we have many options.

Lindblom - Coots - TK

Raffl - Laughton - NAK

If they trade JVR simply move Laughton to 3LW and plug Bunnaman or Laczynski into 4C. If they trade Laughton, same 4C replacement options.

And if Nolan is back, zero room for JVR.

Oskar Couts TK gives a legit top line that could absolutely dominate, would be so sick. Still hoping for a third line of Frost Nolan Farabee

 

[BernieParent]

Promote Lyon, NP get $1m, and PM gets $2.2m.

I like your salary estimates, but I love your team name.

 

[DancingPanther]

And the fun continues.

No it doesn't

 

[wankstifier]

Where's Pitlicker in these lineups?

When I saw a second line of G Hayes Vora I thought the same thing, who is going to score?

Hopefully Frost, Farabee and NAK step up and start scoring more. I love NAK’s shot and would like to see him play with better playmaking line mates and see what happens

 

[bennysflyers16]

Where's Pitlicker in these lineups?

Hopefully getting 2 mill per year from other suckers

 

[landsbergfan]

If there wasn't freakin expansion, we should be making moves to be a possible championship team. Couldn't have happened in a worse year.

Probably a blessing

 

[Prongo]

Lindblom would be on the 1st line...lol.

Well f***. My bad.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Someone tweeted(can't remember who) that Fletch didn't seem interested when the topic of signing Bobby Ryan was brought up to him.

well he isn’t going to tip his hand. Gotta be careful with tampering

 

[deadhead]

Frost ain't gonna be the 2C, he'll play 12 minutes a night at ES and maybe 2 minutes on PP2.

 

[ajgoal]

well he isn’t going to tip his hand. Gotta be careful with tampering

Ryan was bought out, so he currently is without a contract. Flyers could (but shouldn't!) sign him today if they wanted to.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

If we do make a trade...I’d like to look back in 5-7 years and at least see that the Flyers won the trade and benefited more from the transaction!

 

[Curufinwe]

I like your salary estimates, but I love your team name.

Unfortunately, I forgot to fix all the lines before publishing. I’m not actually suggesting Hayes should be 1C.
