Foerster, York, Drysale (via Gauthier), Tippett, Cates, Bump, Konecny, Sanheim - all players who were acquired prior to Briere/Jones.
Briere and Jones did what was necessary the past 3 yrs to get this team on track, but lets not act like they took over a roster absent of talent.
@AmedeoGrassia98 I don’t think he stinks, I also do not think he will ever live up to the bill this fan base was sold on his talent. He was paraded around as the super star face of the franchise, that just doesn’t seem to be accurate. But plenty of time for development still
I truly think Auston Matthews just needs to get out of Toronto
Idk if he'll get back to his 50 plus near 60 goal scoring again, but he can still be a legitimate threat in a different environment
Flyers have to consider every option and Matthews should be one of them

All things considered, PHI played a hell of a game last night. Went toe to toe with arguably the best team in the Eastern Conference.
These are valuable games of experience for young teams - even in losing efforts.
Maybe there will be a little clarity at practice today on any lineup changes for Game 5. Maybe not.
But, frankly, Rick Tocchet has earned the right to make whatever decisions he deems appropriate considering where this overachieving team is at the moment.
@Raiderfrank65@jakeboyer_1 And let’s be honest, he is never going to be generational or cornerstone. Porter will have the higher return in the long run
I urge people to listen to @Brodes81 and @nufced right now on WIP
If you have not heard the first 15 minutes,go back and listen. They make so much sense even the Michkov cult could understand.
But maybe not.
Al Morganti : "If his name was not Michkov he'd already be benched"
