Cant help but think even with all the needs on D Chuck is going to go all in on Eichel. Maybe I’m wrong and he goes after Seth Jones but I just have a hard time seeing Columbus letting him get away.

As putrid as this team currently is no one has been anywhere near as bad as Lecavilier or Bryz.

Jones may not want to re-up there. Lot of other guys have already asked out. If that's the case, then they'll probably try to get something for him this summer or at the next TDL before losing him for nothing.

Jones is pretty good, but he's probably gonna ask for Drew Doughty money. Anybody here comfortable paying him 9-11M AAV?

This is easily the saddest most pathetic flyers team I’ve watched in my lifetime and I don’t think it’s close
- ClaudeFather


They need to talk to Jake & G, find out where they're willing to go, and even retain salary, and move the f*** on.

It's over, I have ZERO interest in rolling the dice on a remix of this slop team, last year be damned.

God I hope people stay away when life resumes but there is no way that will happen.

Coots has been a Selke candidate numerous times, (or at least should have been), if I'm not mistaken.
- KGBflyers10

Wonderful.... the only recent Selke winners that are true #1’s Bergy kopitar datsyuk. All of them had 100 point seasons. Multiple season in fact. Coots is definitely in that group defensively. Not even remotely close offensively. Coots would be in selke consideration as our #2 center. Point is he’s not a #1.

Very true. After years of of watching this poop D I’ll gladly play Seth Jones top dollar.

Chuck has got to find a way to shed some serious cash tho. We’re wasting an absolute ton on underwhelming wingers.

Jake doesn’t have a NMC thankfully. You can argue though that his cap hit is almost like a NMC lol. Ugh

I would have that talk with Giroux. If he’s willing to go to Seattle I think they’re could be a nice trade worked out where we get Seattle to pick up a D man and flip him to us along with a pick or something.

In fact?

Kopitar no 100 pt seasons.
Bergeron has never broken 80pts.
Datsyuk's the only one to have come close, but he never topped 100 either.

Coots is a wonderful player, he is a Selke winner. He may win that again and he may be the best player on this team. That's A problem, because he might be a contributor to a cup winning team but not be the prime reason for that win. Think about recent cup winning teams and each one had a superstar. Compare that guy to Couturier. Ovechkin, Pieterangelo, Kucherov...

Bryz did have moments but his gaffs were all timers. But yeah, doesn’t he still hold the Flyers shutout streak?
- hereticpride


I think he might. But my memory is cloudy. I wouldn’t consider him for this purpose though.

I’m not even looking for a big fish this summer. Jake is the obvious one to go this summer. Retain money. Say goodbye to G after next year and possibly move him at the deadline. JVR showed enough to stay another year. Put him on notice to keep up the two way play. Ponying up for Seth jones next summer, I’d be ok with that.

Resign coots? Prob not much of a choice The thing there is we are lumbering down the middle with him and Hayes. That sucks

Hoping Frost can pass Hayes on the depth chart after a year of experience. Couts is a great #1. He is a play driver, almost doesnt matter who he is playing with.

Please provide examples of what he can do. A march down Broad Street holding a banner? Resign his position? Write an angry column?

Then please explain how any of this will make an iota of difference to anything.

Come on Sheldon ! Really. You comment on everything under the sun. This guy can’t have a legitimate opinion ? Why don’t you answer for him. Keep it under 10,000,00 words . Idiot.

Point is far better than Couturier. And please don't quote me this season's statistics.

Kuznetsov is a 2C.

So, we are, once again.... back to the 4-cleaf clover aka Blues. But even there, ROR played 2C at least in playoffs which I rememeber (Schenn was their 1c).
