Okey Dokey then; Provorov, Sanheim and Myers, assuming the Flyers protect 3 D and 7 forwards. An this proves what exactly?

Well for one it would prove that you have no idea what you're talking about concerning Myers.

So here is my follow up question. If you, joe fan, sees and thinks that Myers stinks, doesn't get it and never will. Why would an NHL GM protect that player in the expansion draft? Why would an NHL GM protect a player that stinks, doesn't get it and never will?

Myers is 24 years old and a RHD, so you have to protect him, just for the 1% chance he actually learns how to use his size and play defense.

No GM would protect a player that has a 1% chance to learn how to use his size and play defense just because he is RH.

John Holmes never used his full size either, because of all that coke he used.

Only thing that concerns me about Myers is durability. Im not concerned about his game this year. Understandable bump in the road for a young player. Kid will be a stud

Patrick needs a little time yet. Funny though how ghost has one maybe two good years and people want to keep him bc he may be trending. Why do we lose shoot outs. Imo even when someone dekes the goalie and has them beat. Seems like everyone tries to slides the puck in. Elevate the thing. Practice. Everyone should have two or three moves. Coots and g seem like the only two who try different things. They are too predictable

Hart looked to be tracking pucks much better last night. Morin only deserved 2 min. The refs this year have been horrendous. Baffled that even after the review he got a misconduct.

Keep Myers. Bunch of if a but if jones doesn’t want to stay in col. offering Myers could help put the flyers in good competition for a trade. More would be offered of course.

Coaches comments abut having to constantly explain things to myers over and over are a little concerning.

2 points in 30 games isn't good?

Good for Jody Shelley maybe.

Don’t disagree with it being concerning. Part of me questions his athleticism vs his hockey iq. Not to say he is dumb just seems like he doesn’t anticipate plays well. I e that back door play

Who hasn't been a victim of that back door play this season? Hell, Braun gave up a front door play last night.

Depends. Some pizza is very good cold. Others not so much.

It doesn't help a young defenseman in his decision making, when there are multiple breakdowns and he has to decide to shadow the player uncovered in the slot and he loses awareness of the back door.

Maybe there was a reason he wasn't drafted; despite his size. Still young in terms of games played. See how he finishes the year.

Who has been most susceptible to that play? It’s not Braun.

You think Justin Braun hasn’t been bad, with his blindly attempts to roll the puck off the boards and out of the zone, only to be cut off by the opposing point man every time?
- SuperSchennBros


To think Braun is the issue with this team is misguided to be nice about it

This.

Goalies and strong side defenders need to stop some of those cross-crease passes too.

LOL! Likes that high glove. Great when it works, but he needs to add some additional moves to his repertoire!

Wonderful. Do you think he anticipates play well as a defenseman?

Possible. Also interesting that Calgary didn’t sign him.
