Sad to see, isn't it? What happened to him? He was the most promising young player we had just a few years ago.
I distinctly remember Giroux praising him as the next great Flyer in a tweet shortly after he was traded to Florida.
He had neck surgery two summers ago

The Flyers have 4 regulation wins. You know who that's better than? Nobody. Tied for last with San Jose and Pittsburgh.
Inflated P% due to a strong SO record in the Torts era: 9-6 overall, 3-2 this season.

It's a mediocre team that started slow.
Now they're playing better.
They're still mediocre but no longer bad.

They've been mediocre for 15 years. People are tired of mediocre

Minnesota Wild?

Maybe in the Fletcher-Flahr Era, though mediocre feels harsh (a mediocre annual playoff team?). But I don’t view them as mediocre these days. Those previous Wild teams never had a Hart-caliber player, and they’re assembling quite the crew (Boldy, Ek, Buium, Faber, Rossi, Yurov, Ohgren).
