Both of them are playmakers more than goal scorers, in fact G and Voracek both have more than twice as many assists as goals in their careers. So why are we leaving out ES assists?

I'd die happy if I could see just one. I'm still reveling in the 2008 World Series win.

Until the last 2 remnants (Howard, Ruiz) are gone, the Phillies get a pass from me.

No, it seems clear that they're both terrible players on albatross contracts. Maybe we can move them both for a 7th rounder apiece.

I'm not interested unless byfuglien is involved

Time to try someone else on the LW to spark some ESGs.

Haha, fair enough. That actually, hopefully, may be when they're ready to contend again.

But if we take Manning out, it's just more fuel for the Akeson/Gustafsson "he never got a chance" talk.
- jmatchett383

so what? he should not be playing ahead of schenn.

So trade them both now, while they still have value, because all non-5v5 scoring is irrelevant?

would you even entertain trade offers for Giroux or is he totally untouchable

How come you guys always want to trade for Oilers? You know they're worse than the Flyers every year, right?

@BroadStBull

Great stat by @billmeltzer: Voracek has 1 ESG in last 35 games; Giroux has 4 ESG in last 37 games. #Flyers

Meh. No great loss with either of those players. They aren't even playing in the NHL.

I think a hall for Simmonds trade would work. I think hall would be a great compliment to the top line. Simmonds could be a nice shotgun guy with McDavid and add some grit.

It's Philadelphia. If we won 7 Stanley Cups in a row, people would find something to complain about with the team. Some people aren't happy unless they can miserable.

Is there a fancy stat that correlates assists to goals?
