So who of Raffl/NAK/Farabee sits?
- Yosimar89


I would send Bunnaman and Farabee to the Phantoms to get reps and keep NAK as the extra forward. I don't think NAK would make it through waivers.

Raffl-Thompson-Pitlick/Grant is the 4th line

So if Thompson and Grant are both playing, and Bunnaman is going down, who will be the second scratch?
- jmatchett383


As of right now Farabee would be my guess

He's pretty consistent. I'm not saying I agree or diasgree if a younger player like NAK sits. I'm just saying that I can see, based on AV's past teams, that yeah, a guy like Nate Thompson is gonna get a good look down the stretch from him
- AllInForFlyers


He's a center. Why would that mean taking Ku's place? It's Bunnaman who ends up sitting. Is anyone really going to cry about that? (Other than Bunny and mrs. bunny?)

It would stand to reason 1 of Raffl, NAK, Pitlick, or Farabee.....

My money is on NAK, though I dont agree with any of them sitting.

Fast, creative skill guy out. Useless 4th line plug in. Big Boy Flyers hockey!

I'll bite. The part about Bunnaman ever sniffing PP2 on this team or any other.
- MBFlyerfan


Kid is 21. Yeah 21. He is a power forward with good hands around the net. You wait and see. 🤬

Does it really matter? People get hurt, youngsters hit the late-season wall, they're all gonna end up playing. NT provides depth and insurance.

To me, the thing of it is this - assuming, of course, that they make the playoffs. Just leaving room for the unknown -- at this moment, you're looking like you're gonna draw the Pens or the Caps.

We all know the deal. The Pens play hard, man. They do, under Sullivan. They play the right way. You have to match how hard they play on every line.

The Caps are pretty damn physical. They make you pay a price. Yeah, you don't makes trades just to match up with guys, but if you thought you were maybe drawing the Leafs or the Lightning, maybe you decide to look a little different, but if the draw holds, the Flyers are gonna have to be smart and detail-oriented and play with a high motor

I really should have worded my post differently to be more explicit becasue...well, yeah. What I really was asking was:

"Since both Thompson and Grant will be in the lineup, who will be removed from it along with Bunnaman?"

I think it's more a question of whose slot Grant is taking, no?

As I said. My money is on NAK, though I dont agree any of them should come out for Thompson.
