Trading him is yet another on the long list of players poorly managed.

Flyers always make the wrong move.

Seems they like really, really like Manning. He might not end up making the team, but I have a hard time seeing them walking away from him in RFA.

Med's gone. Even if the Flyers wanted him back, I doubt he wants to finish what has been a really good career losing 50% of his playing time to Manning and AMac.

Streit... you just knew he was going to slow down severely at some point. It's kind of why GM's shouldn't be throwing long-term contracts at mid-30's dmen. He's gonna stick around b/c they need him in the room, and on that front, he's still doing ok. Luckily they aren't desperate for cap-space yet.

Gudas has been mostly terrific.

AMac they may have to wait until teams free up cap-space via the expansion draft to even move at 50%.

It's pretty crazy that Medvedev hasn't played ahead of Manning since that Oilers game. Getting beat by McDavid shouldn't have been the end for him as a regular.

The biggest key not having Couturier is staying out of the penalty box. He's their top PK guy, putting the Caps on the PP continually will be a disaster. We all know Couturier isn't a great offensive player, his loss is much more hindering on the defensive side of the puck.

Meh, Philly has bigger problems than losing Couturier.

Crashing Holtby and getting him off his game is their #1 priority. If the Flyer's can't do this starting tonight this series is as good as done in 5, and probably with Holtby ringing up another shutout and ridiculous GAA.

This basically the 4th time in his career he's missed games and I'm not sure which one of them indicates he is fragile. He's played in 93% of the Flyers games since he was drafted.

-Hit in the head by a puck in 11-12
-Hit in the head by a Remaldo in 15-16
-Leg injury, possibly from a blocked shot
-Shoulder injury from being crunched into the boards at an awkward angle

Come on now..Dont use facts, just blame the Flyers for ever drafting a fragile duck like Couturier.

I guarantee those slackers won't do anything at all to mess with Holtby tonight.

I disagree. Simmonds will find out where he's eating dinner and go there, in full gear, and stand no less than 2 feet away from him, moving back and forth to obstruct his view of the waiter all night long.

In Toronto, playoff games are only 59 minutes long.

And Kerry Fraser stole their Cup.

That would be a great "This Is SportsCenter" type ad.

Aww, that's such a shame. You have no problem demanding a Y/N format, yet you refuse to play when it's turned around on you? That's OK. I don't really feel the need to manipulate sentences in my favor to have a discussion.

Sharp, Marchand, Oshie, Kane, Hornqvist are some of the few UFA's in 2017 and 2018.

You're sadly mistaken if you think 100% of this series is played on the ice.

Clearly, my point went above your head along with a few others. Shocking.

wow that's a lot of injuries for a young player

I hope so.

Why?

Do you guys see any chance of Haks switching things around on the #1 PP?

I would like to see him do it personally.
