Flyers own St Louis' 1st round pick in 2018, 14th overall

Honestly, he just looks scared to play physical likely because they told him he has to watch the suspensions. Before he didn't give a **** and played on the edge, and sometimes crossed it but he was a much more effective defenseman when he played like that.

What I find weird is that he was also much better with the puck last season. Might have been a confidence issue.

I'd struggle to think of anything going wrong in the world, much less hockey, that we couldn't lay at Hakstok's feet. You know, "Six Degrees of Craparation" and all that. He sucks. Not only does he suck, like the proverbial fart vacuum of lore, he also sucks the life and the joy out of everything he touches. Yep, now that Kim Jung Un is talking to South Korea, it's safe to say that Big Dan Hacksaw is the worst person in the entire world - I think that's a perfectly logical conclusion to draw.

P.S. Fire Hakstok

Hakstol and Trump are neck and neck for me. Its thisclose.

After the 2018-19 season, if Lehtera continues to have an NHL job, the histrionics displayed here were likely overplayed. Ditto for a guy like AMac, if he after this current contract is paid in the $3.5+ million/yr range and plays more than 16 minutes a night, as a fan base our critiques were misplaced. I'm willing to reckon Lehtera will be out of the league, and AMac will make less than $3.25m and average less than 15 minutes a night on his next team (unless Hakstol is named the coach of that team, but then I won't really care because I'm dancing on sunshine.)

You're ignoring age, Read went from solid 3rd line forward to AHL in 2 years (yes, he played well on the PK, but at ES was totally useless, 19g, 9:41 ES, 1-0 1, on the 4th line).

Lehtera is a 4th line winger, he wasn't good, but he wasn't awful,
Lehtera - 62g 2-5 7; CorsiRel -1.5, GF/GA/60: 1.6/2.2; E +/- -3.2
Laughton - 81g 9-10 19; CorsiRel 2.0, 1.6/2.5; 3.1
Read - 19g 1-0 1; CorsiRel -0.5, 1.0/1.7; -0.8
Leier - 39g 1-4 5; CorsiRel 2.2, 1.5/2.7; 1.8
Weise - 46g 4-4 8; CorsiRel -4.4, 1.2/2.1; -5.6

2016-17
Read - 63g 12:14, 7-9 16; +3.6, 1.9/1.6, +0.6
Weise - 64g 11:54, 7-6 13; +2.9, 2.4/2.2, +7.0
Cousins - 60g 10:47, 5-9 14; +1.8, 1.7/2.1, +2.0
PEB - 82g 10:09, 4-3 7; -5.6, 1.6/1.6, -3.9
Luby - 47g 9:01, 4-2 6; -2.5, 1.8/2.0, -3.6
VdV - 81g 9:00, 6-9 15; -5.7, 1.4/1.8, -3.3

Read and Weise went from marginal 3rd line guys to bad 4th line guys.

Hakstol is easily worse than trump (it helps he called kim jung un "fat little rocket boy" that shit was amazing)

7 points in 600+ ES and PP minutes was absolutely awful production from Lehtera.

In Umberger's final NHL season he produced 11 points in under 400 combined ES + PP minutes.

He wasn't there to score. He was there to prevent losing and for magical veteran presence.

He was also our lone representative on the Board Work All-Star Team.
