Besides a couple of games Filppula has been less than average. I really liked it when they got him, but he seems slow this season. He gets to the puck but he cant make a play to help.

They should really fire a vet into the sun that no one thinks they will fire into the sun.

Bring Alt back then I guess?
- dragonoffrost


I have no idea why Alt wasnt kept, he played well, skated well and used his size, which we completely lack on the D

Not sure if you're kidding but the PK has changed personnel-defenseman, forwards and goaltenders-multiple times over the past 3 years and still remains putrid. The problem there is not personnel
- PhillySportsGuy


This assumes that all of the personnel available was better than any of the other. Not really solid thinking there that it eliminates personnel as part of the issue.

Would you guys trade Simmonds to OTT for Logan Brown? There would be more to the deal but Not sure where he ranks in their prospect pool. if we trade Simmonds to a team who’s 1st is I guess too high, I’m looking for a great prospect to add for the future

Ottawa is out of it at the bottom of the standings...flush with vets and absent of many picks over the next couple years.

But I guess they could pick up the phone

Yeah, but the latter aren't really guys you want in that LW4 spot. I still think, if Lindblom recent run continues and if Weal doesn't pick up (goal on Tuesday aside), you could see Weal return to the scratch list, Weise to the 4th line and Lindblom tried with Filppula and Voracek; moving Raffl to the Patrick line.

I would move Weise to 4th line and insert lindblom into the top 6. I would not play lindblom 4th line minutes

Yeah I highly doubt anyone remotely defending this (or at least optimistic about it) has seen much of him playing
- YuenglingJagr


I'll guess that many complaining about it haven't either

Doubtful. I think the coast is getting hit a lot harder than Philly

I'm comfortable in stating that when the Flyers feel Lindblom is ready to make the jump, they will call him up, not before. I don't think it's that far away.
BINGO!

Ottawa apparently already has an offer of picks/prospects for Hoffman, but aren't ready to pull the trigger on a deal like that yet.

Probably after the all-star break.

also true, though watching him would certainly place you on one side of the line

Agreed, but for those questioning why he wasn't called up, needed to be said.

Zero secondary scoring, solution call up another useless plug.

A reaction to Brandon the tomato canning getting pounded like a nail.

What a franchise.

Not really...I think everyone understands at this point the question is more like..."why don't the Flyers think he is ready to be called up?"
