I want to see that as well, but if he comes out next year, playing Lehtera 40+ games, I'm going to call for his head.

How much Lehtera plays is going to be dependent on how well young players play and seize the ice time that is up for grabs. For example, last season Taylor Leier failed to do so with the opportunity he was given.

Would be close, though I’d give the edge to Vegas for winning a playoff tournament

I don't know, how incredible was leicester winning the premier league?


I'd love to see Vegas win the Cup. It would be awesome.

I really can’t believe Cleveland went Mayfield/Ward. Also can’t believe Barkley is on the Giants. I guess I’m kind of happy his career won’t die in Cleveland, but screw the Giants

Hakstol did not have the Flyers playing last year like he wants them to eventually play. We know this because he changed the forechecking scheme that he had them playing when he first got here.

I Cant remember the flyers maintaining such a passive forecheck in all my years watching them. They were getting annihilated before the switch

As for Don Saleski's take on Grapes, I think the opinions of the likes of Wayne Cashman, Stan Jonathan and Lanny McDonald on Grapes should be heard. Those guys(and a few more third liners like Jean Ratelle) would go through walls for him.

The Flyers forecheck wasn't passive at any time in my opinion.

I still think they end up buying out Lehtera........ I also have a feeling they resign Filp.

They have to get faster and move the puck around quicker. When I watch these other teams they don’t lug it around as much as the flyers do. Passes are quicker than skating every time

100% agree. I'd prefer neither are back and they go with youth where ever they can and then supplement by trade/FA. Hextall toughest task this off season is 3C in my mind. I'm

Do you follow the Phantoms? I'm curious if Morin is ready to play or still injured. I thought I read he was close but haven't seen him in the lineup yet.
