How many games has Hart had under .900 this year, 6/7?

Seems about right. The 2nd goal was cringe worthy.

The Flyers sold him to us (Flyers fans) as a Norris Trophy winner. Hard to not be a little disappointed in him.
- Dkos


I can see some disappointed but its not like the rest of the team is doing him favours.

To be fair, totally fair to be disappointed when mistakes happen but in leaf land people then go too far and claim these types of players are trash and should be traded. Don't be like them lol

Way to kill momentum after breaking the winless streak with 2 regulation losses.

#FireFletcher watch- I think he gets axed on 12/16- ironically after they play the Devils again.

How did he look with Niskanen when the roster was decent? Pretty good right. Can’t expect a fringe #1 Dman on a bad team playing with not so great partners to hold down the fort. I thought Provy overall this year has looked ok, much better than last couple seasons

*Chefs kiss*. Easily the worst group of centers in the league. Going to be hard for any team to take away the crown of worst goal scoring team in the league. At 32, and holding strong.

Torts with the complete Richard post game presser.

Torts is right, gotta endure the pain to get to the gain. They did pretty much what I expected, they were hard to play against...Outworked...outshot and outhit the Devils but ultimately lost on a few mental lapses. The hope of a franchise saving draftpick is fools gold. Fletcher isn't great at it, and we get screwed by the lottery. If it happens great, but no matter who we get it's gonna take years of doing the right thing before it gets fixed

If we can get snother 10-12 game losing streak we can easily be in the top 3 of draft picks.
Looking at Torts lines I swear he is all in for the tank as well! Keep playing ZM and ND on the top lines!! I love it!

I think Torts understands they have an over abundace of 3rd and 4th line forwards both in the NHL and AHL. On the blueline, almost all 3rd pair guys outside Provy and Sanheim. He knows the talent void. Torts is doing a great job of showcasing Hayes. He probably still won't get traded because of the contract, but now if they retain salary there actually may be a possibility. I'm very good with the Torts tenure.

Hayes is raising his value for the deadline. At this point of also let go of one of samhein or proxy as well if the price is right.... I'm looking 4 years down the road at this point.
I agree that Torts knows this team is full of terds and at least he is honest enough to admit it (even if not on those exact words)

Its really sad just how far ahead the Devils are in their rebuild than the Flyers are. Flyers still stuck at the starting line holding their Richards.

I would keep TK, Farabee, and Hart for sure. The rest can be up for sale. Hopefully Gauthier turns into what we hope Patrick would. If they whiff on another top 5 pick, the climb back to respectability is very steep. Gauthier has to be a pillar in the top 6.

I never said he was trash. He’s probably been their best defenseman practically since he came into the league. Overall he’s a really good defenseman. He’s just not great and it’s really disappointing. Plenty of disappointment to go around on this team.

Agreed. Tk, hart, and bee are the core. Not that it's bragging rights by any means but they're quality players. For veteran leadership I'd like to keep Atkinson because I think his work ethic can be a good influence on the kids. But if the price is right then I'd ship him out too.
Laughton is a tough call for me, man.
He's that guy that every Stanley cup team needs but I also think he's a great player to keep around. If I could get a 2023 first+ for him I'm open to listening though.
I'm a big Laughton fan. He doesn't have the greatest skill but he gives his all and has moderately talented skill and a motor that never stops. He's a less talented Viktor arvidsson

I didn't say you did. I said that's what happens over time by general people. Not you specifically.

I like Farabee, but to be honest, what has he shown you to give you confidence he is any more than a bottom 6 forward? If another team wanted him, I would be more than happy to listen. I would like to keep TK and Hart, but everyone else in this current lineup should be available to any team that wants them.
