Isn't there a pecking order? Like Emperor or King or something then just General Sarcasm and the rest of us.

I think a decent goal for the Flyers this year would be to crack the first round of the playoffs to get some experience for the young guys.

FWIW, I don't think there is any point in sending down Laughton. He needs more NHL time. Unfortunately Hackstol doesn't trust him yet.

What young guys?

All of those with no NHL playoff experience.

I'm trying to recall when a player comments on the playing status of another player. I can't seem to remember an instance.

The Medvedev/Ghost pairing is just not working. But I don't want to scratch either one. Just not enough muscle between those two

"Any questions regarding injuries will be directed to Jordan Weal" Hakstol 09/28/15

I believe he made this clear in training camp

I think he added some balance to the D with his size and right handedness

Are they the only ones? Sure then. I don't see the Flyers actually contending for the cup this year, but next year should be good.

I'm hoping next year they make the playoffs. They'll work a couple more D into the lineup and see what all the tiny little forwards we drafted have to offer.

The following year we can maybe look to win a round or two.

Laughts signed his ELC on 08/08/2012, so it's been more than 3-years since. He meets that threshold.

'Age', I believe, is determined at the beginning of a season is based off draft-age. Laughts was 21 when the season started based off that.

- Tomahawk



Laughton's current age of 21 has zero to do with his current waiver status. How old was he on 8/8/12? Start there.

Tim Panaccio ‏@tpanotchCSN now8 seconds ago

Weal said Couturier is 50/50 to play vs Pgh

Good to see Weal has gone from healthy scratch to GM!

I would take him over Homer

Several of the beat guys tweeted the same thing. I can't imagine they would all misquote Weal.

Ben Smith on waivers. He is alive if I remember. Isn't that enough to replace Umberger?
