While I see your point, what kind of message does that send playing Cory over Kinkaid when we know whos been vastly better?i don’t think it’s that dire, but there’s some truth in that. this is why i’m advocating giving cory 3-4 games in a row. best case scenario, he thrives as a starter with rhythm, we win games, his trade value goes up...and suddenly we have options. worst case scenario...we go from tied for last in the conference to last in the conference.
Dont put Smith anywhere near Butcher!Mueller-Vatanen
Greene-Severson
Smith-Butcher
to start out the year next year
Not bad, but don't like the idea of Smith and Butcher together at all. And where is Lovejoy?Mueller-Vatanen

Was a joke in hoping for the reverse jinx.his contract expires
so hopefully, somewhere else

Plus like Ive hinted to a few times, this management team will sooner ruin our draft position than tank for a pick. Either this team makes the playoffs or just misses - this idea that we will play bottom 5-7 is silly to me (unless the team genuinely is that bad which I cant get behind)
Let me guess. He’s from the Philly area, he plays in a really crappy band, and he’s wrong about 99% of the time?Okay this is wacky. I had a chat recently with someone in the hockey media. Everyone here knows him. I can't say who it is but lets say everyone finds him annoying.
I joked saying "anything happening with the Devils you can tell me about?" He says a few times he shouldn't say anything. Finally I pry it out and he tells me that the Flyers and Devils are discussing Schneider for Simmonds.
Probably not one for one... but that is crazy.

Based on Hynes' comments when they sent Smith down I think he'll be competing for a top four spot next year.
Already talking about next seasons D 20 games into this season. Awesome! Smith is a non factor at the moment. People need to earn spots, who knows what will happen between now and camp next year. It’s a silly convo to have. You don’t trade away a defenseman this season to hopefully open up a spot for someone next Season when we still have 62 games to go.
Well he has to earn it, but the kid screams blue chipper so we shall see.
Nope. He's from NJ which is a fact that surprises a lot of people about this person.Let me guess. He’s from the Philly area, he plays in a really crappy band, and he’s wrong about 99% of the time?
Sorry I bolted for the day. Meetings.first thought at the "annoying" comment was pierre mcguire

I knew he was born in Englewood hospital, which is also where I was born.Sorry I bolted for the day. Meetings.
Also, DING DING DING.
Real name Regis which is hilarious.I knew he was born in Englewood hospital, which is also where I was born.
Agree with this. We shouldn't rush Smith. It is not going to hurt him if he spends next season in AHL.Already talking about next seasons D 20 games into this season. Awesome! Smith is a non factor at the moment. People need to earn spots, who knows what will happen between now and camp next year.

The logical replacement for Lovejoy at the end of the season is Santini. And then Smith in comes for Andy Greene in 18 or so months time, after Greene's contract is expired.
Uh, no lmao. You dont send Smith to the AHL unless he is terrible in camp. He was literally told he was good enough to play but they want him to have a big year and big minutes down...Agree with this. We shouldn't rush Smith. It is not going to hurt him if he spends next season in AHL.

It's not allowed anyways. Juniors or NHL for Smith next year. And I just don't see how it's not the NHL.Uh, no lmao. You dont send Smith to the AHL unless he is terrible in camp. He was literally told he was good enough to play but they want him to have a big year and big minutes down...
Thatd be a major slap in the face and he was noticeably pissed the first time
