Different teams have different needs.

The roles these players currently fill for us are not within their abilities.

Schenn would be far more productive on a team that doesn't lean on him the way our expectations of him do.

Coots is suffering offensively because our team lacks the depth needed for him to really (frank)ing shine as a 3rd line center/shut down center etc etc.

So who fills Couturier's role for us when he's gone? Schenn?

I am all for some change but you also need to look at the value for the Flyers.

Even if Couturier is just a 3rd line center, he is on a reasonable deal to build with. We have seen him with Konecny and Voracek and seen them play good hockey. Increase depth and you'll see more.

Also we already lack size down the middle so why would you want to move even more size out.

While you guys are dismantling this pathetic excuse for a team you might want to entertain yourselves by listening to "Confessions of a puck bunny" on the Puck Soup podcast.

Keep in mind that the guest was in studio and the podcast is recorded in and around NYC, North Jersey so she probably lives within driving distance (hint,hint).

Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves here. I'm merely proposing who needs to be moved and why. Replacing players is always easier than we as fans make it out to be.

We said the same crap with Richards, Carter, Forsberg, Pronger, Hartnell etc etc.

Pics?

You'll see. When the one who named Melkor Morgoth comes on, he'll let you know how it is.

You have a strange obsession with my user name.

Read is done. He is no longer a NHL player at this point.

Read, Weise, Gordon and Schenn being moved/bought out etc etc would do wonders for this team.
- FlyersNapTime

I just dont see how you have Schenn in that list..
4th on team in scoring, 2nd on team in goals.

So many other players that should be moved on this team before Schenn.

He's got 4 even strength goals.

Don't cherry pick stats.

LOL losing Pronger is a huge reason why we are where we are now.

Pronger shouldn't have been in there but I'll try to defend it and see where it ends up.

I was just throwing out names to enforce the idea I was trying to convey.

Regardless how you feel about his value to the team this season, he provides some value come the expansion draft. Read and Weise will fill the slots of the 2 forwards the Flyers need to leave unprotected so they don't have to expose any players with more value.

Then I think we need to do this in the Ducks blog. We can't waste time with the riff raff

TBH I forgot about the expansion draft.

I'm not saying firesale. I'm saying the team should have or could possible trade some vets in order to secure young forward talent that could blossom around the same time as the young defensemen.

This would likely have resulted in the team taking a couple steps back and finishing within the bottom 10 for a few seasons. They wouldn't have been an embarrassment to the sport; they just would have been a regular bad team.
