Lauridsen, another player who had a short stint last year and was pegged in the top 6 by a lot of people for this season, has looked bad so far

Then what player should be the third line winger? Laughton? McGinn? Raffl? None of these guys have really shown much.
So does VandeVelde need to be reassigned to the Phantoms or is it just automatic since he is on a AHL only deal? Given his game last night, I can't imagine they want or need to give him another look.
Technically, he's a tryout player with an AHL contract. However, when the Flyers announced previous roster cuts, they announced they'd released Todd Orlando from his tryout. They also announced when AHL-contracted Zack FitzGerald was "assigned" to the Phantoms.
The Flyers facebook is full of the biggest idiots I've ever seen. The top rated comments are a guy wanting Lauridsen to make the team and the other to sign Gagne.
Talbot isnt a 3rd line winger. Lavy just likes to play him there. The guy looks overworked when playing on the 3rd line for long periods of time. Read and Couturier are going to have some trouble scoring.
If you could take any other third line winger on the league to play with Couturier and Read, who would it be?

It was Vandevelde over Raffl.
What's the reason? I'm not trying to stir things up, I just think Gagne would've been a better option than what's available. I still maintain my stance that he was pretty good last year.
VV hasnt even looked that good either which is wierd they are keeping him up. Only thing I can tell is Lavy saying "he's a hard worker"
I think Raffl was up for the 3rd line spot while VV's only shot is on the 4th line. If he makes the team I imagine Talbot will be on the 3rd line which I'm really not a fan of. I think it comes down to management thinking VV was better at his role then Raffl was at his.
I liked Gagne as much as the next guy and if they signed him to a vet min contract I wouldn't really have an issue, but some people seem to think he's a god damn savior.

I'd bet Talbot would play LW on a line with Couturier and Read, while Laughton would center the 4th line, with Hall shifting to RW and Rinaldo taking the LW spot. But who the **** knows?So....
Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek
Schenn-Vinny-Simmonds
Laughton-Couturier-Read
Talbot-Hall-Rinaldo
Something like that?
Raffl might be a paper move. I think he's won the spot.
