Alec Martinez goes down for the falling Kings. Does Hexy throw Lombardi a bone at the deadline?

Sure..... For their 1st rd pick

Ill tell you what, if they're missing Voynov and Martinez then I bet they would get seriously interested in Streit. I just don't know how two cap-strapped teams would make it work.

Don't quote me on this, but I heard the sun is hot. In other words, how is being less effective playing away from one of best players in the NHL the last several seasons anything but stating the obvious?

If it's stating the obvious then why was another poster making the same point chastised for it? Which was the real point that I was making, that apparently wasn't so obvious.

Bill,

Most of us have weighed in as to whether Couturier could be that 2nd line center, or if the team would be better off in the long run with a 2nd line guy who isn't currently on the roster, and having Couturier in the 3rd center slot. The whole defensive zone starts has been debated ad nauseam, and either way there is some merit to it.

What is your personal opinion? Based on what you have seen, if you were Hextall/Berube would you plan your roster with Couturier in the 2nd or 3rd line center spot?

- TheGreat28


Assign whatever number you want to Couturier's line, his icetime total at ES is second only to Giroux among centers the last two seasons. Couturier is already this team's "2nd line" center.

With them being only 5 pts out o the wild card I could definitely see them making a move for defensive help. Sadly, because of the cap issues for both teams, I doubt they look to the flyers for defensive help

Better be a lot of people ripping on White right now because if that was Rinaldo it would be 30 pages of how he is worthless.

Rinaldo apologist much?

Dumb play by White, sure. People get on Rinaldo because he does it constantly.

Not at all..The Flyers will not win a cup because of Rinaldo though given his reckless play he could certainly cost them..

I just dont like hypocrisy much.

Couturier is young but B Schenn isnt it
Rinaldo is a waste for taking penalties like that White isnt..

It was obvious. I got both points. I thought that was obvious as well.

Maybe hate is too strong a word but most here could give you several reasons why his roster spot would be better served with someone else in its place.
