Had a tremendous rookie season. Since then had health issues (the cancer diagnosis and treatments), several injuries and the usual learning curve that doesn't end after rookie season. Still think he's a good young D-man.

He has looked overwhelmed at times. Their d has been really banged up. If Letang is out, all the d move up a notch and also play with a weaker partner. He was better then he shows now.
BTW, Shattenkirk plays better than he did in these playoffs.

Hextall probably gave Morin the Berube spanking after posting those pics yesterday.

Too early to say that Morin is on the organization's poop list?

My guess is that Raffl goes to LV, Laughton is traded, Read is bought out and Leier back in LHV. Since I think Hischier is going to NJ and Patrick to us, here is how I see it shaking out:

Lindblom-G-Jake
Filppula-Coots-Schenn
TK-Patrick-Simmonds
PEB-Vecchione-Weise or Weal
Spares: Weise or Weal and Cousins

- BiggE

I'd be totally on board with this plan and lineup. I feel like Read would be moveable if we ate half his salary, that way we wouldn't have to spread it out over 2 years. But other than that, sign me up. Solid 4 lines we can roll for the first time in years.

What has happened to make you ask that last question, surely something more than him posting a pic..

Unless you are just trying out for Team Negative then it makes sense.

Just poking some fun at the Flyers extra strict injury policy. Yes, I know other teams manage things the same way but that is beside the point. It is ripe for a little sarcasm.

On a serious note, however, there is no way Hextall wasn't at least slightly annoyed. I'm sure Morin was reminded of the company policy.

You guys really think Morin is going to be a bust or is it tongue and cheek?

The members of Team Negative think for certain that Morin is a bust.

I wonder if Hexy appreciated Morin posting those pics.

Are the Flyers actually gonna sign Dove-McFalls, or did they just post that glowing piece about him on the website to make him feel nice on his way out the door?

Why? They're Morin's wrists.

Bobby Ryan's OT goal last night is the type of goal no player on the Flyers can score.
- Williamc5468


The Flyers should have no interest in Bobby Ryan because of reasons.

No more big contracts until the roster is stacked with our young guns.
