Patrick Maroon is not something the Flyers could use... He stinks.
- ClaudeFather


So you think that he would not be an upgrade over Weise and Lehtera?

And I disagree that he "stinks." A bit overrated due to McDavid, but he's not another VandeVelde.

Only because he is playing with Mcdavid. What ever team pays him that money is dumb. Look at the guys hockey DB.
- ClaudeFather


Players like him get overpaid every summer. He's making $3.5M minimum on at leats 4 years. If you want evidence of that, just look at what Hexy gave Weise, and then compare the two of them.

So do I and I think someone will pay him, so he's basically a rental. Was just a name I picked when someone asked if Edmonton had anything that we could use. Not saying we should trade Provorov and a 1st for him, stick him on the top line, expect 30 goals, and sign him long-term (which somebody seems to think I was implying).

I see Maroon getting a contract like Weise got. He's 29 so not sure he is going to be getting north of 4 mil.

I like his size and he has skills. He's at 1.9 this year.

How about a Weise for Maroon swap. that should work.

I'm curious to see how this lineup we have looks tonight, i'm optimistic our middle six can turn it around, just need to find the right mix of guys which has been the problem. Seem to have decent pieces that don't exactly fit together.
- ClaudeFather


I thought they did look like they were pretty together in the first several games when everybody was healthy. Even if they get that back, I think the recent play shows they need another legit Top 9 forward.

Edmonton would be crazy to do that, but sure.

I mean, nevermind, the Flyers don't need him. I won't give them anything for him. He is the worst player in the league.

In a hypothetical situation where we got him I would put him on one the top 2 lines and slide someone else down to balance out our scoring

No way I'd break up the top line right now.

I'm not sure why we as a people didnt simply stop (frank)ing around with apples once we'd arrived at the red delicious. Its RED and its DELICIOUS. What the (frank) more could anyone want from an apple? Seriously. Do we have to overthink EVERYTHING?

the guy has 51 goals in 289 games or over 82 games 14.5 goals and 41 assists which averages out to 11.5. I wouldn't say he isn't good but to go 41 games without an assist is just absurd to me based on his past performance

Ok he is just not very good..

He has declined a lot since he started with the Flyers, in my opinion
