The PP has been fine, I doubt they make a change on that top unit unless they go the next 15 games without scoring a PP goal, or something crazy like that. If you were going to change anything putting Patrick with the shot he has in that slot spot Couts is currently in would be the move to make. I wouldn't be surprised to see that next season.

As long as the PP runs through Giroux and Gostisbehere that won't happen. The reason Couturier is there is because he is a left shot. Same Schenn.

Yes Voracek gets a lot of PP assist but that slot pass comes from Giroux and the PP almot always starts with Giroux.

Just kind of piggy backing off Ek saying Flyers could have interest in Raanta from AZ, what do you think it would take to get Raanta and Domi?

More than Hextall will spend. My money is still on Chad Johnson.

Shouldn't they keep Raanta? Who is their other option?

Oh hell, the skaters are so bad it really doesn't matter who is in net for that team.

I think it will be someone no one really thought. I was listening to someone from tsn, can't remember who, but they said it is a buyer market and there are so many guys available prices will come down.

I'm buying my Lundqvist jersey now.

(Seriously though, if the Rags are going full rebuild I can see him getting dealt this off-season. Never wouldv imagined that before they totally pooped the bed and wrote that sad letter to their fanbase.)

If they really wanted to move him i think they would send him out of the Metro. But he also said he is ok with a rebuild so i don't see him moving.

on the bright side, this weekend Metro teams are playing Metro teams or really good teams, 3 out of 4 points would be good.

agreed. I like Scott Wedgewood, who ARI has and also traded for this season. Scheduled to become a UFA if he doesn't play enough (Group 6 aka Jordan Weal).

I think the Flyers would call up Lindblom if they lost a top 6 winger
- YuenglingJagr


I don't. I think he's probably behind NAK at the moment, and I don't think they would call him up either. They'd just move Flip, Weise or Lehtera into the top 9, and call up Goulbourne to be a 4th line option alongside Leier.

Top PP points -- Jake 29, G 28, Ghost 24, Simmonds 16, Couts 11.

I love Couts, but he's not a great PP player, he's good, not great. Can you say that Couts generates a lot offensive chances on the PP? He's usually the guy who stuffs home a rebound, or redirects a slap pass in the net. He's not the one who is firing a rocket into the back of the net or threading the needle to find someone back door.

That PP is missing an interior shooter. Schenn was probably the best player to play that position as he had a rocket from there. Took him a while to goals from that position, but finally figured it out.

PP1 isn't missing anything. It's one of the best 5 man units in the league.

Is Jori "3 points in 39 games" Lehtera in the AHL where he belongs?

For sure it, missing wasn't the right word. But, it would be better if it had a 2016 Brayden Schenn in that spot, the way Jake/G and Ghost are playing....you can check you smug attitude anytime, brah.

EDIT - going back, it wasn't that smug.

he should be exempt at the start of next season. I don't think it'll be an issue though
- YuenglingJagr


Morin won't be waiver exempt after this season.
