A strength of mrazek is actually his puck handling.. just saying - Tfaehner
The point was to keep things simple, limited time with the Dmen. Can you imagine if Mrazek goes behind the back to an unsuspecting Gudas... |

I wouldn’t consider moving Manning “selling off players” when it’s one guy who Isn’t even wanted in the lineup. On top of this, he can be replaced with losing nothing: promote internally. - arichardson22
By you.
The team doesn't seem to be saying that.
The team has been one of the best since December. Not sure I want to move guys in my top 6 or top 9 unless i am getting back something that is significantly better.
For a playoff push you add depth....don't subtract from it |

I like the deal and yes, it could work. That said, I see this team as not better off than before Elliot and Neuvirth went down. Mrazek isn't Elliot so they may actually be a little worse off than before Elliot went down and basically the same as before Neuvirth went down. They're still a bubble team and will have to keep playing their butts off to keep a playoff spot. - Scoob
Elliott struggled since Christmas and it was Neuvirth keeping the team afloat.

I'm relatively certain that there will be some conversations between and among the goalies and the defensemen today. |

So talking today wouldn't be considered "limited time" as I said? Just keep it simple if he's in the net today. |

Manning has been arguably our worst dman in recent weeks. And not just by me, everyday he is complained about lol. And I made no mention of moving anyone in our top 6 or 9, nor any forward; just defense. Also my post wasn’t just subtracting a dman, it was replacing one

Okay, but that's where communication is very important, so keep it simple. I'd still start him. - Scoob
So would i. Points are too valuable right now. |

Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 2/20/18 vs. MTL; Flyers Acquire Mrazek, Recall Lindblom - bmeltzer
I have a question that I know I'm absolutely going to be roasted for but here I go.
In my opinion, accepting this trade was a no brainer the first time it was offered. Mrazek is younger than both Elliot and Neuvirth. There is still a ceiling to reach with him. So is Hextall a genius for making this deal, should Mrazek play lights out or is it dumb luck because our goalies got hurt and he didn't accept it when he should have? |

That's great the hockeybuzzers complain about him...it has no bearing how the team feels about him.
Manning is in the top 6 on defense right now. Going into the playoffs I am not sure i want to add a rookie in Sanheim into the mix unless he comes up soon and gets more games in.
I know your not just subtracting but it has to be the right add. |

No. We're on a playoff run in not selling off players for average picks. Manning is asked to play the pk and a defensive first game. - Tfaehner
That's not really accurate. He's the 5th option on the PK, and he pinches as much as anyone on the defense, but never seems to lose ice time despite the often calamitous results of those pinches.

Its was a necessary move that Hextall navigated well. |

Just looking at save percentage doesn't tell the whole story. - ClaudeFather
Not the whole story, but no one's going to be saying what a great addition Mrazek was if he's at .888 after 12 games a a Flyer. |

Yup, I would just call up Sanheim at some point to replace Manning in the top 6, slide Manning to 7th and with Morin, Alt, Myers and even Brennan (if you need a pp guy), you have really solid depth heading into the playoffs.

Makes sense. He played well against the Rags and it gives Mrazek the benefit of having a practice with the team and a chance to get to know his new Dmen a bit before starting a game.

Not in any way shape or form caused by his scratching for part the season. But regardless we have an unwillingness to play gost on the pk so with that in mind i would expect our 6 d man has to he someone at least adequate there. Wisniewski doesn't fit the bill |
