He's never scored 17 goals at the NHL level.

Neither has Ghost at 5v5 which is where the Flyers need help

24 - 10 PP - 4 OT = his max 5v5 goals cause we don't even need to find his 4v4 goals since we are already under 17

Doesn't matter. I'd still use him on the point on the PP.

All I'm saying is status quo is not an option for the forwards.

During the last 10 games this team had one hole in the top 9. Left wing with G and Jake.

Weal, Filppula, Simmonds and Schenn, Coots, Weise were fine.

They are adding Lindbolm hopefully him or Konecny fills the LW hole.

I don't see why you keep wanting Ghost on LW.

I think it's because of how well he holds up during board play and in front of the net. Those are his strengths obviously.

Because, since he's good and we have #worstforwards in the league, the obvious choice is to convert him into a forward.

Board play? Net front? Don't you know this team's strength is shooting puck the from the wings on line rushes?

It's crazy. A coworker and I drove by and noticed there were a bunch of cops out. Heard what happened when we got back.

Same reason you haven't seen a poltergeist, sasquatch or a ufo.

It's innovative, outside the box thinking. Hockey is a young man's game now. The position switch will grow the game. And something about national pride.

I want a vet UFA forward in that spot, that's my top choice. Second choice is Hextall can pull off another steal and get that guy like he did with Filpulla. If all that comes up with nothing, experiment.

Too many hopefullys and WERE fines among the forward group. You've got 6 guys you can be reasonably sure of up front. That's it.

Because you can't possibly get three top 9 LWs out of Konecny, Weal, Schenn, Cousins, Read, Raffl, Weise, Laughton, Leier, Bellemare and Lindblom.

A guy who can get you 15+ goals. They only need one:

Possibly? Lots of things are possible. Schenn is the only sure thing in that entire list and Simmonds and Vorecek are the only sure things on the right side.

Exactly. Why not trade Gudas and MacDonald for picks and go Provorov, Gostisbehere, Sanheim, Hagg, Meyers and Morin on the blue line?

You know, I'd be OK with clearing the decks and letting all the kids play but they really aren't far from being a playoff team with the right tweak . . . so why not make the tweak?
