If you are using NST, high danger isn’t just location based, there’s a few things that go into it.
Also, HDCF is all shot attempts where most xG models are are all unblocked attempts.

Laughton is out cause his wife is giving birth. Once he's back I would go:
Farabee-Frost-Michkov
Tippett-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Laughton-Brink
Cates-Poehling-Hathaway

Former Flyers Fan
Now he’s even pissing me off because I tried to quote that Garfield post three times without anything showing up in the text box before I realized it doesn’t appear because his post had no text.
This guy.
This guy.

In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
Foerster - Frost - Konecny looks pretty good, but Poehling as 1C is the height of Tortorella hubris.

I was listening to Timonen’s podcast and he said:”Berube is very demanding but still a players’ coach, unlike Tortorella who only has one way and it’s his way”

Placeholder for Laughton who is on temporary leave (wife expecting a baby).
Luchanko being held out suggests he may be on the way out. No reason not to play him for a home game (b/c you can control matchups to some extent).
But Frost, Laughton, Couts, Poehling, Cates. Without Luchanko no easy answer at "2C."

Love it. Personally I was thinking :
Farabee - Coots - Michkov
Tippett - Frost - TK
Same last 2.
Tippett for Farabee because man.. Tippett isn't a bad player, but he is a low IQ player. The second 2 on 1 they had the fact that he didn't pass blew my mind. The first one if anything he should have shot a bit sooner. The second one... bro. The passing lane was wide open and he somehow thought shooting was the move. Just one example, but that moment had me frustrated. Tippett can dangle and has a shoot first mentality. Not a bad combo, but not the right linemate for Michkov. Michkov may have a high IQ, but he is still primarily a goal scorer over a playmaker. Farabee a has a solid skillset that should compliment Matvei. Farabee has a solid IQ which is a needed upgrade. I would say he is pass first, but overall he is pretty decent at recognizing situations where he needs to be the shooter. Farabee played on a line with Jack Hughes on USNTDP and thrived, that is as much of proven track record with high IQ players as the Flyers have. Please put them together. Coots because while I think Coots will help defensively which is needed, he also has a good IQ. This line feels like it could be awesome if they give it a few games to get on the same page.

Maybe, maybe not. They're preparing for a back to back and Torts already said he's not gonna play Luchanko back to back early this season. With Laughton absent as well I'm not sure you can read too much into these practice lines but we'll see.
"Torts already said he's not gonna play Luchanko back to back early this season"
This statement leaves almost no room for interpretation with regards to whether Jett will be sent down.

Frost is averaging 18:14/game, is their de facto #1C, has spent significant time playing with Tippett & Michkov, & has 0 ES points in 5 games, while getting crushed in possession, scoring chances for/against, & goals for/against.

Poehling already towards the top of the lineup? Desperation setting in this early.

My take on Couts is that he's mostly back, the problem is the game has changed over the last five years. The league is faster, while Couts is about the same. He's still big, smart, etc. Posting excellent metrics.
I think Torts is right that his future is at LW, where his size and smarts will make him a top LW, while he won't have to skate as much (in Torts scheme, if a center is pushing play in the O-zone, it's hard to get back to the goal line in a 2-3 zone if you lack speed).
Briere has said as much, they're looking for full-sized two way centers who can skate, they'll take more chances on smaller or slower wings who have offensive skills. It's easier to find a Brink, Barkey or Ciernak.
Problem is these centers are tough to find.

It's a practice in October. Wake me up when it's game 82 and a must win.
Oh.
