These guys have been here for years and every message has already been sent. Putting Lehtera out against top lines isn't going to help anything.

Message hasnt been sent. When have poorly playing players ever been sent a message? Voracek wnt through the exact same struggles last season a d he remained in the top 6 the entire time. Guys like Simmonds, Voracek, Patrick need to be demoted to send a message. You cant scratch all 3. I use them because they have been the worst 3. Lindblom, Couturier and Konecny havent been much better.

Like I said in the original post. This line up is not meant to win a game. It is to kick certain players in the butt so they play better.

Imagine being someone who defends this franchise at every turn and does nothing but make excuses for them. Delusional souls. Sad.

They improved last season and finished great in a great division. The banner is being raised next home game.

I'm saying they've been sent the message in numerous ways over the years. They're smart enough to know the situation. Changing their line isn't going to spark much. We're past that point with this group. It really is a deck chairs on the Titanic situation at this point.

Any time the Eagles are faced with something crucial, they fail. Need to chew the clock? 3 and out. Need to get a stop on 3rd and short at midfield? Someone is left wide open. Need to put points on the board? 5 play drive for 16 yards.

Maybe they should try to sack up.

"Rockets dive back into Jimmy Butler trade talks by offering every first-rounder they legally can"

If someone offered this to us for Giroux why the hell would you not do it

I don’t know what Bell would cost for 8 games but that and a decent corner would be nice....but that’s probably a pipe dream.

That's a lot less risky in the NBA as 1st rounders out of the top 8 or 10 picks rarely have a lot of value.

Oh Eagles.

If I didn't follow football and you told me this team won the Superbowl last year I would laugh my ass off.

Doubt it has any impact. Glad to see NAK get a chance.
