True

Ranking the rookie D (just for fun because I have all 3 in the top six):

Hagg: has been amazingly steady, everything you can ask from a pro going into his 4th season. May end up being the worst of the three if the gods smile on us.

Morin: brings a dimension long missing for the Flyers back end. Protects the crease well, wins board battles and moves the puck forward. Has kept himself under control and the few gaffes he's made he's recovered from.

Sanheim: if only for his bad start to the preseason he's third. In the last few games he's showed why he's capable of crushing first pair minutes. While vastly improved from two seasons ago he still needs work on his ability to get back into the play in position and still struggles a bit with board battles. It's just where he is right now.

Like I said, they're all NHL ready in my opinion. Hopefully the Flyers take the plunge and give us all what we want opening night.

There is zero reason to delay the future.

He have some goals

Look, we all know Coots makes his teammates better at even strength, which is a fact but he's not a PP guy. I'm only in the first period of this game but as it stands, he's keeping Sanheim off the PP for no good reason.

yes but does he have any fights?

Would you take the puck down low? Would you deke & drop your toe? The fans surprised by the big d-man, They do, they like this Sam Morin..

Oops, Coots just set up Konecny on the PP but you guys get what I mean. He's been on the second unit the past two seasons. Sanheim is gonna need the PP time.

Suck it , Couturier haters. Suck it hard.

Yep. Couturier. No business on the PP.

oh really? we put derian hatcher in front of the net on the PP once

Nobody hates Coots and you can't score 20 in the pre season. It's a fact he's never been overly productive on the PP.

Please, please go with the youth movement.

My hope is that Coots wears an "A" this season. My hope is also that he plays more than 66 games this season and collects more than 39 points.

I don't think Giroux can get anywhere worse than last season.
