Raffl has never played Center for the Flyers.

I don’t think Raffl should play center but he has played center for us a handful of times.

We need a Lars Eller esque trade. Would like a guy like Soderberg but not sure he's on the market.

Dude, get a grip. You are complaining about a guy but not offering a solution. Weal is not the most ideal 3C but at this time he's a viable option. When Raffl is back I'm not opposed to moving Laughton to the 3C but at this time Weal is fine, Laughton has played well on the wing. Please explain how you are correct. Who should be 3C?

I'm correct about Weal's game. That's obvious. Your comment about not offering a solution is asinine. The discussion was on Weal as a player.

I think most tend to agree with you, but when they see him drop his shoulder and only plow around the perimeter like a poor man's Yakupov they get frustrated. When was the last time you saw him weave directly towards the net and dish? It appears he isn't the comfortable dangling into traffic and goes to the shoulder drop almost out of habit. He has skill...you can see it, but he plays like a mimi Jake along the rim but doesn't get the puck in for high danger shots.

Your like the 6th poster to state the same thing about Weal and how he is a perimeter player. Hey, he gets to the perimeter quickly though and dangles with the puck a little.

And Weal is a good puck possession player that works hard and is good in the dot. I'm right! I'm right! I'm right! This is a statement about Weal as a player. We can all play this game man.

Weal is not a good anything in the NHL right now. The only positive is he is doing well on faceoffs. Good things rarely happen when Weal has the puck.

Maybe a shift here or there. That's link I posted the announced position. Nothing shows for Center if you switch it to wing it's every game he played.

Anyone else get a little disappointed for a second seeing Lehtera scratched over Weal?
- Glak18


Not even a little. At least Weal has a chance to create something offensively.

And Laughton is unable to? Remember if Weal is out, Laughton is 3C. It's not Weal for Lehtera.

Exactly Laughton is the flex between 3 and 4c the other two have different roles and will not be switched from those roles.

Yes he did. He did for a bit last season I believe as well. It was never permanent but he has played Center for the Flyers

If they just hurry up and attach Forsberg’s bionic feet, all our problems will be solved

I just wanted to point out trading for Filppula had nothing to do with Patrick specifically.

Hextall wanted to acquire Filpulla for years and admired his playmaking skills.

He knew they were getting the #2 pick but didn't know it who it would be. Hextall wanted veterans around to help the youngins as role models.
