Follow thru HS call against the US. Is the rule of follow-thru not called in the NHL only?

It's what needs to happen to move forward. They can run MDZ and Colicacovo as 6/7 for the rest of the season and it won't cost them anything more than they are already paying.

The Jets have some kids really standing out at this tourney. Ehlers & Morrissey.

You send him down now, nobody is gonna touch him at the TDL. I just don't see a reasonto do something that drastic now. Unless it's to force Berube to play MDZ or Colaiacovo, and if you have to do that, then fire the coach, because at that point, the GM is basically the coach anyhow.

Dumping Schenn to the Phantoms so MDZ can play isn't going to get this team into the playoffs

- Jsaquella


Scratching Schenn does nothing, either. Now, or the TDL, that salary and his play dictate that the Flyers would likely get, at best, a mid-round pick.

It's just not going to change. It not about the playoffs. It's about making the moves that need to be made to a roster that is proving incapable of competing at an acceptable level for the salary commitments it has.

Rosters turn over every year, players come and go.

Advocating that players who have been healthy scratches on a below.500 team be moved along isn't that radical a concept.

Not drafting Morrissey has the potential to sting doesn't it?

I get that, I don't see the benefit of sending Schenn, or anyone else among the veterans down, right now. Unless you've shopped the Hell out of them & have an indication that somebody might grab them on waivers, to lose the contract.

Otherwise, it's deck chairs on the Titanic.

But you're All In For Flyers, so I'd assume you would have faith in the current roster.

Yeah, he's got a real chance to be a dynamic offensive Dman

I have faith in them to grab a mid to late 1st round pick.

Can you imagine getting the # 2 pick and having to settle for Eichel? The horror.

Does Eichel have a perm? He looks like he just walked off the set of the Brady Bunch.

Are you seriously asking whether a screen name has anything to do with team performance, or my perception of it?

Apparently it was always Deangelo's dream to play for the Flyers.

I've only watched him in this tourney, but nothing he or McDavid have done has blown me away overall.

I suppose it's too early to worry about now. Check back in about 3 years.

Yea, when the screen name indicates your devotion to a team.
