Would you say Tyler Seguin is a Cup level # 1 center?
- PLindbergh31

Maybe, but Dallas are the 28th best team in the league.

With the lack of knowledge I have on this upcoming class, as well as the lack of chatter on the draft, it would be great to hear any thoughts on some of the names. I thought I remembered correctly that you were the prospect/draft guy hah! If you back read, I questioned the talent at center earlier this morning hoping for someone to help

There's a few guys here who watch prospects. But yeah I've been following it closely, and watching games, not highlights and copying and pasting like some think.

I'm busy now and am typing on my phone. Ask me another time when I'm posting about some guys and I'll be more thorough in an answer.

So then it's not like the team is using him terribly. The way the team is playing as caused the coach to try and adjust
- J35Bacher

Yes. Keep in mind, I didn't say he was being used incorrectly. I HAVE said that the system seems to be suffocating the offense out of its players.

Well explain it again?

What are the Flyers asking from him that is terrible? How are they using him that isn't correct?

I don't want to re-explain. If you did the leg work, you're only a couple clicks away.

Boston would prob rather have Seguin back then what they have left to show for that trade.

I could see that. And I didn't say you.

Just some keep stating that he is used incorrectly. But can't tell me exactly how. But I can understand the coach having to adjust because a team defense isn't there.

Wiese back to a 2.6 million dollar cardboard standee?
- PLindbergh31

let me ask you this, based on the current roster and current play, who would your scratch be? and I don't mean the sit Giroux etc stuff. I mean legit who would you be sitting?

Boston fans never complain about anything ever because they won a Cup in the last dozen years. Same as Carolina fans.

So this quote:

With this said, if you want to sit developing players who have been nothing but an asset on a nightly basis for one game, fine. Three however is inexcusable. Indefensible. Gostisbehere is as dangerous an offensive threat on the Power Play as G, Jake, Simmonds and Schenn. Gostisbehere was clearly missed on the PP, which fell out of the top ten in the league and missed in OT last Saturday.

On top of this, in Gostisbehere's return, he's paired with a mirror older version of himself on the third pair. These are Coaching decisions. Does Hakstol want to win games or not? Because misusing players isn't giving the Flyers the best chance at winning. This isn't his first season as the bench boss. He should know his players by now.


That doesn't tell me how they are using him incorrectly.

-He's been on the top PP all season and wasn't producing.
- He's been making bad plays in his own zone at 5v5\
-He's paired with Streit now but he has played with almost everyone other then Provorov and was still struggling.

Maybe, but Dallas are the 28th best team in the league.


- Feanor

they should trade for fleury. he could have stopped that half of the time.

You mean 10G/10A Sam Bennett?
- jmatchett383

More like Sam *healthy scratch* Bennett.

In before Ghost healthy scratch jokes...

But he's so good defensively. Gotta dictate the rest of our lineup around our other-worldly 4th line..

Want a Cup level #1 center? Draft one because you aren't finding one another way. You guys are just listing players who aren't or won't be #1Cs (Bennett....RNH....Duchene, who though first line caliber probably is more a winger) but you know their names.....so recognition!

It's not as easy to accept this reality as it is to derive half baked trade proposals, but it is what it is.
- Mononoke

Stars did get Seguin by trade, but his situation was a little different and his 67 points in his age 20 season made him more of a sure bet to be a top line player than many of these other guys listed.

I agree with you. Most likely scenario is drafting one

We're still trading Simmonds
Ghost is being used poorly because he's playing with Streit

Can you put whatever your doing aside for a few minutes?

San Jose has lost 3 games in a row, and allowed 14 goals while doing so.

What does that mean for tomorrow?
- PLindbergh31

flood gates baby!!! which for the flyers means 2 goals

It seems you don't watch the flyers enough then. When I watch them I immediately get the sh**s.

- nastyflyergirl

To be honest, I know in the rules you prob can't do this, but I'd scratch about 4 or 5 guys and play with a 15 man roster to make a point. So many players are playing poorly, you can't scratch everyone. The fact Hakstol always dresses his binky boy VDV is sickening.
