Embiid
On early summer vacay
Snider is on record after the Lavi firing that they are going to see if they have "overrated" their players. Holmgren back in 2011 said they had "overrated" their team after the 2010 Cup appearance which as Snider pointed out almost didn't happen and gave them a false sense of security...hence the Carter and Richards trades and attempt at a reset.
Question.....since the inconsistencies have been consistent since the big trade..... is it really some "overrated" players, as Snider is suggesting, that might be the cause for the Flyers woes "AGAIN" or is it something larger or both?
I think it is both but the fact that this management has twice indicted itself on possible poor personnel decisions is pretty revealing. Having said this I do think we have some overrated players...one of them I'm going to say is Hartnell.
I have to think who might be the others but I will not lay judgement on B Schenn and Couturier as harshly as others have. I don't think they have been placed in the right situations and environment to develop properly..... yet I see them slowly overcoming these barriers nonethless.....

What's your biggest challenge, Mr. Snider, with this team with 79 games to go?
Well, our biggest challenge is to turn around a horrible start and to change the fact that we didn't make the playoffs last year and find out if we're overrating our players.
