The Flyers PP like the rest of the offense is very predictable. One of the reasons why it sucks
Makes me feel like I should sell them.How does that make your organs feel
And you were expecting what during a rebuild?It's something that they won't do. Last season they were the fourth lowest scoring team in the League behind Chicago (204), Anaheim (209) and CBJ(214) with only 222 goals. Gone are Hayes(18), TDA(11), JVR(12) and Provorov(6) who together tallied 47 goals. Couturier and Atkinson aren't going to make up the difference. If they trade out Konecny and Laughton their scoring will be even lower.
This team won't win because it can't score. No amount of decent defensive play will balance that inability to get goals. They're going to get blown out more often or not. Attendance is going to plummet and heads will roll. They're a bigger mess than most folks even thought.
the opposite of what the flyers are doingAnd you were expecting what during a rebuild?
Farabee, Couts, Atkinson and Foerster should give us more scoring at forward than we got from Hayes and JVR last year. They will miss TDA on offense, Sanheim and York need to pick up the slack.

We all float down here.You all have brain damage for continuing to argue with this clown.
You would be far from the only fly in that room.It really is baffling that not one even half smart person in that organization can see they are so far behind the times. Would love to be a fly on the wall when they have their pow wows
should the flyers have said no we want you to go juniors to play? Is it wise to let the inmates run the asylum?I think it was Toumaala who insisted he wanted to play in the AHL, not the Flyers.
He's had a reality check, and seems to have committed to a bottom six role of "energy guy."
Was very impressive against the Islanders on a line with Laughton and Cates as an active forechecker.
The Finnish "NAK." Hopefully without the stupid penalties.
So he's a dime a dozen player, and no one should care if he gets waived and then claimed?...the Finnish "NAK." Hopefully without the stupid penalties.

Not only is it a rebuild, it's already 33% complete.I personally am still waiting for a single player to be moved that didn’t have a glaring reason to move them due to Torts or optics/requests.
Just one single player and I’ll consider this actually being a rebuild.
Until that happens? Nope, not a rebuild.
To actually rebuild! Not hold on to over rated vets like Laughton, not signing 4th liners like hathaway when we could use a kid who's on the cusp of being ready, the ahl is NOT A DEVELOPMENTAL LEAGUE, you do not have to defend literally every single thing they do, I promise you that you don't have to, we could have used that late first much more than we need Laughton, it's pure stupidity what they're doing at this point, they're appeasing torts and the dumbass boomers who still go to the games who want to see the "broad street bullies" we aren't bullies, that part of hockey is dead, we don't need a team full of muckers and grinders, you need speed and skill (yes you need players to fight along the boards)And you were expecting what during a rebuild?

No hands, either.So he's a dime a dozen player, and no one should care if he gets waived and then claimed?
Schrödinger's power play.Wow we're now at "there is both less and more space on the PP" levels of mental gymnastics to defend this team's coach.
Great. Wonderful. Having a conversation with this person is surely a good use of anyone's time.
the ahl is 10000% a development league, they have rules about veteran players.To actually rebuild!

It's really not, especially when we don't even have our kids playing the system in which we play, so that does f*** all to help them for when they come up, hell our ahl team doesn't even really have a system, it's more of a joke, if you're on the cusp of the nhl, you are better of playing against better competition in the nhl on the 4th line, than playing a few extra minutes against ahl talentthe ahl is 10000% a development league, they have rules about veteran players.

In the AHL, player development is a top priority. The American Hockey League and the Professional Hockey Players’ Association have the following development rule in place:
Of the eighteen (18) skaters (not counting two goaltenders) that teams may dress for a game, at least thirteen (13) must be qualified as “development players.” Of those 13, twelve (12) must have played in 260 or fewer professional games (including AHL, NHL and European elite leagues), and one must have played in 320 or fewer professional games. All calculations for development status are based on regular-season totals as of the start of the season.
