Sounds about right. About when he got flipped to the wing IIRC.

I wish the kid nothing but the best. Don't regret the trade for a moment, but I never had any animosity towards him. The kid desperately needed a change in my opinion and Joe did him a favor. Hope he makes the best of it. I've heard good things about Granato as a coach.

Makar averages almost a full minute more than the next guy. He also plays more SH minutes than all of them.
Jost went on kind of a hot streak in Minnesota after the trade I believe. I also wish him the best but I imagine he'll revert to form soon enough. Regardless, it's good to see him enjoying hockey again, the worst part about his final season in Colorado was that you could tell he was miserable and not having any fun.

EK plays like a rover and doesn't give a shit about defense this season. I don't like how the Norris is mostly just a point race but that's how it goes.

6'5"!
I'd expect some improvement from any leaving the Flyers, but another 3 years at $7.1M for a 30 year, you'd want the Flyers to retain.
Way funnier that Minnesota cost themselves cap flexibility trading for his contract and then gave him up for nothing.
Cut him.back 2 shifts per game

Well, Josi had more points than Makar last year.
If everything stays the same IMO Dahlin gets it.

Optional skate? Anyway, I bet you Makar would agree that he's not playing up to his standards in his own end. He still makes lots of smart and brilliant plays and decisions, but he's been a part of the team struggle of getting trapped in their own end. Manson coming back should help that, we don't have much heaviness back there when things get gnarly.

They'll need to give players more incentive than that. How does fewer preseason games entice them when the stars/vets only play like two of those games anyways?

Only a matter of time before the floodgates open for Makar. He was flying last night, and could’ve had 4-5 points easily. He’s going to start finishing more of them here at some point.

I have no issue adding two more regular season games if it keeps the schedule more balanced between divisions. What they are proposing (4-3-2) is perfect.
Bring back 1v8 and reseeding playoff format and it would be awesome.
Makar averages almost a full minute more than the next guy. He also plays more SH minutes than all of them.
Why does everyone forget how much of an impact the wingers have on the D as well? Our best wingers have been injured, and bouncing all over the lineup.
So he's played more in all situations with absolute chaos as support.
Also think some of the Girard stuff is short sighted. It's a worry, but I have a feeling he'll figure it out.
There is also a lot of finish missing from last year. The offensive ability of the middle of the roster probably impacts Girard as well.
I think there is a lot of links to be made including fatigue with Bednar's system causing issues at times without a cup run. I think the domino's have been pushed over and Bedsy is having to reset the table. It all has an impact.
They seem squarely committed to the Division thing unfortunately lol.
You should probably take a look at Girards stats and metrics from last season if you think his garbage play is just isolated to this year.
This is a significant impact. Not necessarily the wingers but his quality of linemates in general.
It's honestly not even worth getting into though. The advanced stats that aren't available to the public paint a very different picture regarding Girard.
Defensively he's been very solid this year. Offensively you'd like to see more, but when you're most common forward linemates are the likes of Newhook, Cogliano, Dryden Hunt, etc.... Not as easy to produce raw production in those minutes.
