With having Streit and the addition of Del Zotto, the PP isn't where the loss of Timonen is likely to be felt. It's in other areas where the loss will be felt.

DelZotto sucks on the power play
Can't keep a puck in the zone to save his life.

Let's hope Timonen gets himself healthy.

If anything MDZ adds speed to an otherwise slow defense. (queue monty python) Always look at the bright side of life....

He just makes bad reads. Isn't any good defensively.
He can play the power play but seriously you will see
he is awful, i mean awful at keeping the puck in the zone.
Lots of 2 on 1's on him. Of course he just will get benched
so you dont have to worry about that for too long.

Sounds like a disgruntled Ranger fan. If there's one area where Del Zotto can be effective. It's on the PP. He may have struggled recently. But he's still a talented offensive defenseman.

Not disgruntled at all. Made it to the finals. Great season.

I'm sure any Ranger fan will post similiar remarks about DelZoto

I don't think any Flyers fan is under any illusion on who they just signed. He's still young and still talented. He could get his act together and have a decent year.

Well if he is only counted on for offense then maybe he can help you guys.

I hope he does well, he is young and can possibly get back to the form

from a few years ago.
