I have no hate for Skinner, but before this season, didn’t he have injury issues or concussion problems?
- arichardson22

He has had his injuries but most all do but he checks the box for what the Flyers need. Skating and a sniper who is a good fit for what we have already

Nah

He is our star of the future and if he is ready to go get him in there.
- MBFlyerfan

Agreed

Sanheim has been playing great ever since he started getting 5 more minutes per game. But as the Management JLs tell us, that's only because he developed his game so well while being used as a 3rd pairing dman/healthy scratch by the former coach.

So logically if Gordon and Wilson had kept sheltering him for the rest of this season instead of putting him on the top pairing, then in 19-20 he would have been even better than he is now. Because using Sanheim behind Hagg, MacDonald, Manning and even Folin for a season and a half was definitely the best way to develop him. It's just that Simple.

Thank you, for all of this, so (frank)in much!

Obviously with the way Sanheim is playing and developing, his development was handled very well. Nice touch with the JLs though.

Nice. Your avatar is the best!

See if the leafs will move kadri. Will cost but may be worth it

I don't doubt that someone will overpay Hayes. That's free agency but he is an underrated player.
- MJL

I don't see it.

He's not productive enough to hitch your wagon to. He can score goals, but it's sporadic. He's big but not particularly competitive or physical.

Defensively he's below average.

He's big and can skate, so a lot of people will extrapolate that into production, but I think history shows that he's more of a middle-six supporting cast member on a decent team.

If he was available for middle-six support money, I'd be interested, but he's probably looking at top-$ now.

I really like Raffl, but I wait till July 1 and see where the team is. I tell him before he signs anything to check with us. We have some players that need to make the move up, and hopefully we will be signing a guy or 2 in FA.

Absolutely. A lot can happen at the draft.

I understand your point about money but I disagree that he is below average defensively. He's not a Selke center but he has the size to play a strong two way game and he's hard to play against. Plays a north south game and gets the puck to the net. More of a goal scorer than a play maker which is something this team could use.

I don't care about the score of the game tonight. As long as Sanheim plays over 20 minutes and more than Haag, I'm good.

I would be interested in Hayes for 2C money. No assets will need to go out the door and he is a big body that could play up or down the lineup for short stints if needed. Just to be a d£&k, Scheen would be an excellent fit for this team right now.

atta boy

Laughton and Raffl have always had chemistry but they keep getting split up. Chemistry since the Raffl, Laughton, Leier line coming out of the 2017 camp.

I kinda care about the score. Us winning and others losing puts us into the playoffs.

wilson gets bumped and crumples like a baby

nice

Well if Hart didnt already have it tough..... I dressed him tonight.

You will never guess what he is wearing

Yeah they're not ready.

Ghost is an absolute nightmare
