Biggest issue with the flyers rebuild is that they have drafted players with only the mindset of how does this player fit for us in the future. Drafting is about asset collection, being able to trade Zeev vs Luchanko, passing on Lin for a player you think fits the org better
Foerster Dvorak Martone
Bump Zegras Michkov
Konecny Couturier Tarasenko
Barkey Cates Luchanko
Danny gets Tarasenko on a one year deal to give Michkov a Russian pro mentor & to help fix the power play. Toc agrees for the latter reason & upgrades the veteran bottom 6 line
A lot of pressure on Barkey tonight, better prove he should be in the top 6 and Toc made the right call or the Flyers are in a lot of trouble this series
@DailyFaceoff@JLazzy23@ColbyCohen36@bet365 No problem with Michkov not playing up a goal in a road playoff game. That’s where the veteran 4th line is supposed to thrive. Michkov will be needed in this series down a goal or two and he will deliver. TK on the other hand..hard convos should be had with him.

Flyers vs Penguins Game 1 keys of the game:
1. Force Letang & Girard into as many dzone breakouts as possible, they will have bad turnovers
2. No offensive zone penalties
3. Turnovers on cross ice passes are okay, make Skinner move laterally

@OFjsp44419 Osoej thanks for sharing! Demidov is a great player however your eyes can’t lie to you last night there was no comparison. Its okay to say Hughes made a mistake passing on Michkov
@BizNasty2point0 Team leading 14 points in the last 14 games on RW for the MichGod. Zegras looks fantastic at center #FansWereRight#BizWasWrong#TocListened Porter Martone looks like right handed Jumbo Joe Thornton #Stud 4L Coots found his role and his game. Flyers are a wagon
Interesting, in 78 games this season Michkov has 473 18+ MPH skating bursts while last season in 80 games had 453. He is on pace for 485 in 80 games which is a 7% increase despite coming into camp out of shape
