Well, i think that dovetails with my point, no?

If you sign these no skill vets, aren't you going to be disappointed?

Anyone who watches a lick of hockey knew Gordon wasn't going to add anything to this team.

I didn't get the Weise signing the day it happened and it still doesn't make sense to me today.

I would love to see the Flyers sign players with higher hockey IQ and players who can skate, who have speed.

Gordon was signed for a very specific reason that made sense. Like any depth signing of an older player, there is never a guarantee.. The Flyers didn't have a lot of cap space to use in free agency, and there was zero risk to the Gordon signing. If Weise could even get his offensive contribution to a respectable level, with his physical play on the forecheck, he would be a lot more effective obviously. I'd like to have seen less years, but both signings made sense on paper, in my opinion.

Pretty much. I really wish in regards to Weise Hexy had held the line with 3 years, 6 million, take it or leave it, but it's not a contract to lose sleep over

I think the entire team has proven this year they're all awful players. Because track record doesn't matter, only this catastrophic scoring year for the entire team. Couturier is a 4C. Schenn is a 4W. Ghost a #6 d man. Giroux is Vinny reincarnated. Jake is an albatross. Everyone except Simmonds....who is scoring at the same rate as everyone else, but we like him more. Raffl has had the same dip everyone else has.

And he can play anywhere in a pinch. Hakstol has never played him at center, and that's his choice though, even with injuries. Raffl is a 3rd line winger in skill and that's hopefully where he can go if there's more talent to boost depth (and it's where he is), but if Raffl is the 3rd best player on a scoring line, it's not worst case. Jake and Giroux still score at higher rates with Raffl than apart. People have poop on Raffl every single year, so this is nothing new.

Raffl is a meat grinding plug who doesn't belong anywhere near a line of good and or bad jakes and g's
