Couturier is the best player on the team and the best defensive player. His ice time would probably go up under Torts, and MacEwen will definitely not play more than him.

Lol, that would never happen.

Not Coots, but you really don't think Torts would use Laughton more often than Konecny and Farabee? I absolutely do.

He used a MIGHTILY struggling Foligno and Jenner more than Laine, Bjorkstrand, and Roslovic in his final season.

Bjorkstrand finished with 44 points in 56 games, Foligno 16 in 42

Farabee is a high IQ player, as he gets stronger, his ice time will go up.
TK isn't the mistake prone player he used to be, but he might not be as trusted by a HC like Torts.

Note that Killorn, Cirelli and Paul have higher TOI than Stamkos for TB.

So you are fine with treading water. Some of us fans want to become better than a team that treads water after decades of it.

I don’t think coaches are magicians. If you’re searching for a magician, fine. But you aren’t going to find one.

Torts has proven he’s a good coach. Hell, he beat Tampa Bay in the last playoff round that team has lost. That’s as close to magic as you’re gonna get.

I don't think they are magicians but I also don't think that a revolving door every 2-4 years is a good thing to have sustained success. Imagine rooting for a team that has the chance at multiple cups rather than a team that treads water and gets one shot every 5 -10 years.

And that team that beat Tampa got dumped in the next round then got smashed by Tampa the next year.

Only upside to a Torts hire is the Carchidi interactions.

Isn't Sam not as active?

He accepted a retirement/severance payout from The Inquire then joined some like random internet site to cover the Flyers. So he’s still active & has access to the team.

i wonder if Torts would live under the old boys regime thou..

i just dont see Torts fiery temper sittin with that weight over his head..

and i wouldnt blame him... as much as ive always wanted Torts here, theres never been a worse time/roster for him to coach..

the timing is just horrific, so of course its prolly gunna happen

Come on, man. The one thing we've agreed on over the years. Don't bail on me now.

sorry, but this seasons roster is going to be epic dogshit... worse then last, hell we wont even start with Rooos production, let alone least have most of a seasons worth..

Fletch isnt capable of getting someone of Roos caliber....

Healthy Couturier, healthy Hayes immediately make the team much better. Ellis is a wildcard, but obviously he would, too.

Frost sure as hell better take a step up. Tippett, too.

They'll sign a UFA.

Hart should improve, and Fedotov is backing him up.

York will take a step up.

They aren't going to be worse than this season.
