Depending how this season goes, we may go in a different direction. That could happen then. You still have to be willing to pay him. Not sure if that's a problem or not, but I think he definitely wants his money. Not sure if the market plays a role for him. There was talk that he wanted bigger markets from people on HF, but I'm not sure I ever saw that officially corroborated or anything.

Like yes, he's demanding and he requires his teams to play a lot of two-way hockey, but man that guy is one of the few coaches I've seen get more out of his team than talent. Like the sum is greater than the parts. It's also viable playoff hockey. It's not like he plays trap hockey a la Lemaire nor is it that players don't put up offensive numbers on his teams (Panarin >PPG pace for example). He also develops players really well. For a market that isn't as attractive, I'd think you hold on to Torts unless there is a clear upgrade available. I think Laine will be fine for CBJ, Jarmo being Finnish, I doubt he makes the trade if he thought Laine would bail after a season. Also your team doesn't have Wheeler on it, so I think that plays a big part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyers0909 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 So I'm not going to pretend like Carter Hart has been elite or even good this year...but the Flyers actually are terrible. Their metrics are just absolutely awful, getting completely dominated in CF/xGF/etc each game. I unfortunately couldn't watch the game so far tonight but these goals against are absolutely ridiculous. Complete defensive breakdowns. Matt Niskanen was great for this team but Check Fletcher should be fired for this defensive roster he has assembled. Niskanen retires and he resigns Justin Braun and the big FA is Erik Gustafsson, complete joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team continues to play like they did today post-PLD I think he will be extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers0909 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Vigneault can suck my ***, Michael Raffl leads the team in 5v5 ice time among Forwards tonight. FARABEE IS LAST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers0909 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Weird, almost like icing Robert Hagg, Justin Braun, Erick Gustafsson, and Mark Friedman as your defense isn't a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were rumors about the Wild possibly trading Dumba this offseason. If they are thinking about it we need to be talking to them.

Canadian Saint Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Vancouver and giving up 5 goals/game. Name a better duo? Yikes my nan can play better D than that unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can really only trade for a pure 1 year rental with having to protect Provorov, Sanheim, and Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanted their pick to new Jersey to push to this year because I thought there was a reasonable chance they would crater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
