Can’t say I remember the flyers having one decent scoring chance this game.

But Umberger had no value. AMac is better than both Folin and Manning. They BOTH played a lot of minutes. If he goes to LHV, they get a bit over a million in cap relief.
It's just semantics. In my opinion he has more value playing the odd game here or playing regularly in LHV.

I have news for you. Fletcher has bought out big deals in the past. He bought out Vanek in Minnesota while he was being paid 6.5 million a season.

Wow, a shift of sustained attack time. Now if we get a screen maybe one gets by Price.

Amac in a limited role is fine.....it’s when they over play him he gets exposed. As a number 6 or a 7 who plays 30 games a year he’s worth holding onto....it’s not like the cap space is an issue right now.[/img]

Ok, you win the internet today. I voiced my opinion and so did you. We differ in our thoughts. Time will tell.

That's my point. He is serviceable if not over used or simply as insurance in case of injury. Or maybe if someone gets the flu. 😁

Mote stupid plays. Konecny had all the time in the world to walk in and makes a low percentage pass instead

I don’t know anyone can watch him the last 4 years and think anything else. ‘Serviceable’ is actually a pretty good description.

I don’t know what this means but if you look at his stats as a five million dollar player, his production is pathetic. Add the eye test, he’s just average at best.

If Mac scores tonight, it will be his first goal on the season.

What it means is he’s a serviceable dman.....doesn’t do anything really good but can do in a pinch. He’s not going to be a total liability...I don’t think his salary comes into play when judging how good he is....we all know he’s not a 5 million dollar guy...but as a #7 preferably...or a guy used as a number 6 who get 10-12 minutes a night....it’s pretty apparent that he’s no longer a top 6 on this team....I’m fine with that.

I know that’s what I am looking for in next years team, serviceable players mixed with a few adequates and maybe a couple good in the locker rooms.

Or we could raise expectations afteryears of mediocrity and serviceable losers.

These guys know the playoffs are not possible. You, don’t play this bad when you are pushing for a playoff spot.

If he becomes a 7th defenseman, his salary becomes dead cap space no matter how you look at it.

I could very well be wrong. I never said I was write but Fletcher has and will buyout a big contract if he has to.
