Do the Flyers make the playoffs next year - poll

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t really have faith in the top four defense as there’s a lot of room for the coaching staff to f*** that one up & not optimize it on top just not having faith in about half of them regardless of role/usage.

The top six is pretty hard to f*** up but I’m sure it won’t be for a lack of trying though.

Did you see those practice lines?

Honestly, I think they have the top six and top four to cover up for a lot of deficiencies. But we’re back to also ran status, not contenders. They really need one of provorov, sanheim or ghost to become a bonafide number one, one of frost farabee or Patrick to become a gamebreaker at forward and hart (or one of our others) to be, at bare minimum, an upper third tier goaltender. We are contenders then.

If one of the dmen doesn't take a big step forward this season, I wonder if they will be in the market for Pietrangelo next summer..

I say as long as Hart is a brick wall we do.

Look what St.Louis did last year. Average team with a beast goalie.

I can’t imagine St. Louis lets him walk. I would think they’d find alternative means to alleviate the cap.

People have really jumped to conclusions with Hart. It’s kind of amazing how little scrutiny he gets from this fan base. You’d think he was prime Dominic Hasek

Depends on Hart.

Well, he almost has to be after we signed Elliott... GM did not do him any favors with that one.

I just hope any early failures don't impact him to much. The weight of this f***ing organization is already on his shoulders thanks to Fletcher

we're like your decent looking friend who has no luck with the ladies and never gets laid
he finally gets a girlfriend and can't stop talking about how awesome she is...don't burst that bubble, she might turn out to be a wife or the soon-to-be batshit crazy ex

I previously voted “probably.” I was pretty optimistic, with the caveats that Hart could sophomore slump & the East is rough.

The Patrick injury is a monster blow, though. Screws up their depth, which had finally been looking good.

There also almost certainly will be a difficult start given this personnel’s history combined with learning a new system & very tough travel.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Whatever I vote for in this poll each year, the opposite always happens. So it looks like we'll be missing the playoffs again this year. Sorry guys.

 

[briererocks]

I feel safe saying they will finish behind the Islanders, Capitals, Carolina and Pittsburgh in the metro.

They are not making the playoffs despite signing Stewart. Time for some more smart moves.

20-21 next year.

 

[Curufinwe]

Currently they are 8th in the east, just ahead of Tampa.
