I'm not going into coaching haha.

I would actually defend them on one thing, from the games I have seen I dont question effort. I think the vast majority of them are giving it nearly their all. Minus a few guys.

Their effort is usually an A every night. Which is why this is so concerning.

I think people that bring out the effort thing are just trying to grasp for something that just isn't there. Let it go...

3 realistic moves you think the Flyers could make at the deadline, go...
- five4fighting10

Neuvirth & Streit (50% retained on Streit) to Edmonton for a 2017 2nd, a 2018 4th and Gustavsson.

MDZ with 50% retained and a 5th to St. Louis for a 2nd (assumes Shattenkirk is moved for picks/prospects)

Bellemare to any contender looking for a 4th line PK guy for a 5th

Hey if we can move through time, I'm going back for an 18 year old Bobby Orr and an 18 year old Mario Lemieux.

All seem reasonable to me. I feel like Streit at 50% should command a 2nd this year on his own, so I'd be slightly disappointed with the 2018 4th/Gus for Neuvirth part of it.

I really do wonder how MDZ is viewed with his struggles and injuries this year. Like Bill said, teams know what he is despite not playing right now, but I can't help but think his value is down. I went from expecting a 2nd for him to a 3rd.

They probably wouldn't trade him for less than a top 10 pick

If we got a 2nd for Streit and a 3rd for MDZ, I'd call it a success

You can't eat more than 50%. You don't understand how the cap works. This is why I can't talk hockey with you.

Remember we could've gotten a 1st probably for Streit back a season or two ago? And last year maybe MDZ for 2 2nds. Neuvy for 2 2nds. Nerlens for 2 2nds. These were fair prices we talked about at the time.

Value depreciation.

40 Jordan Weal - 28 Claude Giroux - 17 Wayne Simmonds
25 Nick Cousins- 10 Brayden Schenn - 93 Jakub Voracek
12 Michael Raffl - 14 Sean Couturier - 22 Dale Weise
76 Chris VandeVelde - 78 Pierre-Édouard Bellemare - 24 Matt Read


These lines are (frank)ing revolting.

Nerlens has bricks for hands offensively...but they are magic defensively for steals. Its the weirdest dichotomy. Overrall he's an okay player. No reason to jump off the walt Whitman although I share concerns regarding Colangelo

The top 6 has been fine the last few games....and why on earth do you split what has been the best line in Weal/Weise-Couturier-Voracek? Then make Schenn a center.....(frank)ing again? And have him leach the best player? He is not a center and looks awful there. And that 3rd line looks like it will never score a goal. 100% Hakstol is just looking back to the 10 game win streak, when Schenn was a center, despite getting outshot and outscored every game and getting maybe 1 point in that span, and trying to recreate it.

I think you're giving Hak too much credit
