Just a question I had pop into my head. Kind of generic, so try an ignore trades for simply picks.

What is the last trade the Flyers have had where they were on end of getting the best player out of a deal?

Chris Pronger and Coburn?

Could be argued that they got the best player in the Carter deal, since Voracek has outscored everyone else in that deal

At first glance the new lines are intriguing

what percentage of Flyers odd man rushes end without a shot on net in that last 2 years? gotta be ridiculously high

That's definitely on the players. Even the Flyers better offensive players are more comfortable with passing that shooting. Voracek should have ripped that.

Lord knows the Flyers could use a guy like Datsyuk, Bergeron or Toews but what I think he's trying to say is that having a 4th line of Rosehill, Hall and Rinaldo when your team is struggling to score is not a great idea. I would rather see Raffl or Akeson get a shot today over Rosehl or Newbury

Honestly I don't view trades like that. I'm happy to get depth like Voracek, Couturier and Cousins for Carter as good as a player Carter is.

gotta say I like the jump 10-14-36 are showing so far

Typical.

No puck possession and failed clears and failed breakouts.

An oddman rush doesn't even result on a SOG

A terrible breakout turnover results in Mason bailing out his team....

Come on guys. String a couple good shifts together here!

if the scoring woes continue i'd certainly be in favor. rinaldo should not be anything more than a fourth liner. i feel like it's insane that i even have to say that

who else could maybe provide a bit of a scoring presence? maybe cousins?

I don't know if the play in their own end more closely resembles hot potato or a Chinese fire drill. terrible play defensively and horrid passes.

there it is

I think Coburn has been on ice for the majority of goals against this year.
