30 point season. Not bad, and definitely something to build off of. He looks better than any Flyer prospect i can ever remember. He is going to be special

Can't believe people were imposing a 2C ceiling on this kid.
I think he will be our best Center by his 3rd season and a top 10-15 Center in the entire NHL at his peak.

I will say, the first 30 games to the latest 30 games are seriously night and day. His skating is phenomenal, he's getting used to playing in the NHL with other more experienced players and is really showing off his hands much more frequently. While it didn't score, that real quick off the boards pass through his own legs to another Flyers player for a shot on goal last night was something special and jaw dropping on how effortless he made it look.
This thing where Patrick steals the puck off an opposing forward as he's headed up ice is amazing; it reminds me of stuff Lindros used to do.

He’s been insanely good, but his skating is what’s really surprised me.
I didn’t think it would be a problem, but I’m shocked at how damn fast he is sometimes. There’s been times I mistook him for a different player because I couldn’t believe how quick he was.

Don't break up a good thing, Patrick will only be 20 next year.
And it's not like Couts hasn't been a top ten NHL center this year.
Of course, in 2020-21, Frost will be our 1C.

You can always put them back together. It wouldn't hurt to see how a G-NP-TK line looks. And yes, the next Gretzky is on his way (no

Just because of handness, I'd like to keep G with a lefty. He might be able to earn that spot, but in Philadelphia, bad personnel decisions are a way of life, in spite of better alternatives.

I hate this team
I have no issue keeping these together.

It's crazy that we could keep this together for the next 4 years all while the bottom 6 gets easier minutes and builds chemistry.
Even if Partick becomes better than Couts in the next year or 2, that is a GREAT thing and will really give other teams matchup issues.

Patricks skating the past month is where I hoped it would be after 2 years of working on it in the NHL.
Hes going to be a legit star.

I think it will be cool to watch Lindblom and Patrick grow together. They had some really nice board work and chemistry in the Canes game. They are going to be monsters on the forecheck.

Did you see that rush up the ice yesterday? Good Lord, if that becomes his standard skating ability he is going to be a top 10 center in the game. That is a conservative estimate.

I just envision the 2 big studs with the slick Frost in the middle:
Ratcliffe Frost Allison
And don't tell that a 4th line that is a shutdown line of:
Laczynski Vorobyev NAK
....can't be very effective.
Christ....where the hell is our 1st rd pick this year going to play?? lol
Sadly, we may be drafting Giroux or Couts replacement this coming draft.
My apologies to Rubstov, Strome, Bunny, Kase, etc... We are going to be REALLY slow roasting prospects and moving them for more futures. The pipeline is going to be spilling over!

Replacement on the top line yes, but Giroux better retire here. Give him a big fast center and let him work the powerplay until he wants to hang them up.

Forward wise, yes. Provorov looked great in his rookie season after the first month or two
