Every Flyers line has a player that is playing a role that is hilariously miscast.

Read isn't a first line player
Weal isn't a second line player
Wiese isn't a third line player
Vande Velde isn't an NHL player

Hilarious! best laugh of this board all year!!
Thanks I needed that!

I'm a firm believer that a lot of this seasons misfortunes rest on Hakstol. Look at Toronto's roster compared to Philly's and what Babcock has gotten out of them. Obviously the players are the ones at the end who take the blame but I'm just so sick of hearing "We did a lot of good things tonight" Agree? Disagree? Maybe I'm just bitter because of no playoffs!

I am not a comcast subscriber nor am I in the greater Philadelphia area so blackout restrictions apply.. The NHL really doesnt want me supporting my team even with a Gamecenter account

I understand there are holes, but with a few adjustments to the lineup elevating Konecny, putting Wiese on the 4th line would make more sense to me. They are coming off a really good effort in Minnesota, so I understand the lines remaining the same.

You're a real hockey genius. Break up their most effective line where Weise is finally producing to your standards because you've pigeon holed him as a 4th liner.

out of area.

+1 being pissed about being on NHL network. Optimum in CT has it in an additional package that you have to pay extra. Not sure why NHL.tv isn't allowed to broadcast NHL Network. It should be factored into carriage fees.

what does that achieve when our roster is pretty bad
- 2Real

Maybe the 9-14 pick in a package with Laughton and one or 2 of our many late round picks for a bona fide nhl player who has "learned how to play a nhl role" and has a track record in whatever facet needed for 2018 not 4 years from this draft...
Seen that script already with our stocked cupboard of "potential" nhlers who are still working their way up.

No I'm not. Holmgren is the real hockey genius. Only a genius could give away a franchise goaltender for nothing.

IIRC, that same genius turned a broken down Peter Forsberg into Timonen, Hartnell and Upshall.

Oh, they are in this draft?
I didn't know that new rule that has first rounders being redrafted the next year.
Brilliant post!

Explain Zhitnik for Coburn, signing Briere, acquiring Biron, taking the worst team in the league to the Conference final one year later and the Cup finals 2 years after that, turning Richards into Simmonds and Schenn. Did he make mistakes? Of course, all GMs do. Was he the greatest GM of all time? No, but he was far from the worst.

Try a little honest perspective once in a while, you just might find it refreshing.

Great we're back to Holmgren. He really has a lot to do with where Weise is playing in the current line up.

Dude they are not in this draft!!!
Name the player that resembles a generational talent like any of those guys from 9-13 this year.

To be clear, we in top 3 keep it. anywhere else package it for 2018 player that fits need.

So tell me mr gm wizard who is that player in the draft 9-13 who will play next year!!!
