I don't get singling him out over Rinaldo, Vinny, Emery, Umberger, LSchenn and Grossmann and Read.
Other than vinny, what is the biggest diffrence between MacDonald and the rest of the players you just mentioned?

MacDonald was acquired March 4 from the New York Islanders in a trade for a third-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, a second-round pick in 2015, and minor-league forward Matt Mangene.
"We kind of hashed it out a couple different ways," MacDonald said. "Ended up finishing on six [years] and I felt like a good, long-term commitment was great for me and they agreed with it. Obviously it's a big commitment for them, a big commitment for me. It's a good deal."
Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said the fact MacDonald is 27 years old made the six-year length a palatable option.
"Because of his age we didn't mind six years," Holmgren said. "We talked about a lot of different scenarios, even longer than six years, but settled on six."
Flyers re-sign MacDonald, sign Gostisbehere
You are a sage sir...a true sageWait am I seriously the only person who thinks this is awful? Like, WTF levels of awful?
Holmgren was considering giving him more than 6 years...….like what ailed that dude? He was just terrible with numbers.....2
more
years
Yeah, if Hakstol were the GM he's getting a 7 year deal.I doubt they extend him. Hakstol thankfully is not the GM.
The way your post is formatted had me reading it like a weird poem...Oh, MacDonald is just rusty right now, he came back two weeks too early.
Not that he'll be good when he's 100%, but he's just here as a placeholder at this point. Like Filppula last year.
Just Hextall making do with the sows' ears he inherited from Holmgren.
We won with him last year, we'll win with him this year, then either buy him out, or trade him with half his salary retained next year.
If Morin doesn't blow his knee out and played 30-40 games last year, MacDonald might already be gone.
But that's why GM keeps guys like MAC around, you think you have it figured out, and a player takes a bad turn and you suddenly have a hole in your lineup.
