I know, glad to see you came around.
For the sake of discussion, what defenseman do you think the Flyers should be targeting or are you one of those fans who thinks they should stand pat and continue on a path that has been failing for a decade.
I think this team needs an overall and not a tinkering. And it is a big reason I wanted a coach who can handle kids and is not a "veterans" coach.
I wonder if there is a "Batman" on this team which is a really big issue. Giroux closest to Batman but at his age he is more excellent Robin.
I would rather suffer through a bad d year of York and Zamula growing pains over signing signing Larsson, R Murray, etc types and realize by year 2 we way overpaid (see Hayes).
You need to put Konecky on line 1 with Couts, leave him alone and go all in and get him back to 20 and not 21. Farabee I trust where ever he play, he will be fine so line 2 works for balance for me.
I would look to see if you can make a trade where its salary for salary that fits need. Nate Schmidt comes to mind but Nucks need to make room not add salary. Its not that JVR or Jake stink. Its just they make too much cash.
You expose JVR, JV, and Ghost and pray one gets taken especially JV at 8.25. JVR might go just because of the lack of goal scorers available. Jake the only way I see taken goes along the lines we add a 1, Seattle retains, and Seattle moves for another 1. And this team isn't deep enough to throw away 1's. Its the not player Jake. Its the age, the extra year, and the 8.25 per that will make him tough to move. I would have loved a run at Johnny Hockey and add his speed. But with our cap I don't see it. For record the only way I would even think about adding a 1 to get rid of jake is if they got Hamilton. 1 and Jake for Hamilton net? Sure I get it. Ryan Murray and depth forward? WOOF!
You have to play Frost and pray he is the 2. Hayes is a better 3 than 2. If Frost proves he is not the 2 or gets hurt again, man this organization at c is in deep do do because you can't trust Patrick. L-ski you can hope be a 3 at some point but not next year. Going into a season trusting trusting Allison and Frost will stay healthy is like watching Christopher Walken in the Deer Hunter. Maybe it works and stay healthy. But you are waiting for the inevitable.
They need a bottom 6 f who does the radical thing and checks the other team. This team is way too easy to play against. I want fiery lion Myers from Habs series. Not p***y cat we saw all year.
Maybe Hart can turn it around and that solves A LOT of problems.
I get as Flyers fan I am supposed to say Hart plays well, we add rhd and all is well. But here is reality. Canes, Isles are way better. Bruins need to see who they resign but you suspect better. Pens some year they will fall apart but is it this year? Caps if Ovie is back Caps are better. And dare I say if rangers youth grows up they are better. Its ugly right now.
