Yea, I'm gonna give the kid a bit more of a chance before I write his offensive upside off

5 games is enough for me. Bust, time to send him out to pasture.

Agreed. It's also time to trade Carter Hart, if he still has any value after giving up 4 goals in his second professional game, and Nolan Patrick, the bust of all busts.

Five goals in a MINOR LEAGUE game. Dude's trash, trade him for a 5th.

And while we're at it, Konecny doesn't have a goal this season, clearly a flash in the pan.

And don't even get me started on that Provorov bum.

Absolutely, they and Keith Richards were the only Brit invasion guys the punks respected.

Probably because Patrick and Lindblom showed good chemistry down the stretch last season.

I’m probably one of the few who feels this way but I really wanna see JvR with Jake.

Enough that he's taking advantage of a chance most people here wouldn't have given him if they were the GM of the Flyers.

A little over half a season when he was 21.

I feel like there were a lot of people who had jvr Patrick voracek as their second line. I know I saw it several times.

to summarize

Nolan is a bust
Hart is ruined
Konency was just a flash in the pan

I guess it's time to run that narrative into the ground

Vegas prized acquisition Paul Stastny will be out almost 2 months. I bet if this was Philly he'd be out 4

Longer than JvR... So much for us being the only team with bad luck in signings.

He's good on the wing, but fortunately, he does have versatility to play center and take face offs.

The play of Scott Laughton has been my favorite early season story so far. Dude has been written off so many times by fans, it seems. Nice to see him enjoy some success.

- johndewar


I kept telling that one guy here that Laughton actually played really well when he was sent back to the AHL and was told to focus on defense and was kept off the Phantoms powerplay, reducing his point totals. But he wouldn't listen.

This has been on my mind for a while and I thought the same thing last season. I'd be interested in other's opinion. I don't know if it is Hextall or Hasktol but I think the Flyers spend too much time looking at a lot of players in training camp and not enough time getting lines and the roster set to try and develop more chemistry in camp. Rather than waiting until the season to try and get going. I'd like to see decision made faster, and more time given to the actual roster for the season to try and hit the ground running at the start of the season.

It was tough this year with Couturier and Simmonds only able to play in one game.

Neither is Provorov. Hopefully they will both get better, but when Patrick and JVR come back I would take the 21 year old Russians off PP2 before I took Sanheim off it.

No therapist can help him. Ill defer to the experts who have been watching hockey for 80 years.

I really like Vorobyev's hockey IQ and vision but his skill level hasnt been high enough to contribute on the power play. Id try other options now.

Lindblom Laughton Konecny
Sanheim Provorov
