Thread: Flyers No Huge Shake Ups and Someone Comes Home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>LOL If you don't think Carter has been playing well in his role this year, then you're just a hater. I was all for moving him last year and yes, he doesn't live up to his contract, but he is not playing poorly at all this year.

If you think he's been slow, then YOU have disqualified yourself from this conversation. Dude still has wheels and anyone who's watched can verify and you sir have lied through you teeth saying you've watched. You CLEARLY have not.

Again, he doesn't not live up to his contract, won't dispute that one, but he's been a solid hockey player this year.</div></div>

He is constantly behind the play and out of position. His hands still have it, and he can skate straight line speed, but he's slow to react and pivot. His only saving grace is he knows how to use his size and stick and still has hands to win faceoffs. He's had a few good games, but mostly is invisible. He would probably cost a high pick to move as OP suggested and his nmc makes him all but untradable.

Thread: Friedman adds scrappy new element to the penguins
Friedman definetly adds some fresh legs and energy to this team. If he played every game, this would probably taper off, but I definetly like what I see. I think the pens would be smart going forward by giving friedman some extra games and shifting around the d pairs to give guys like dumo and pettersson a break too. The most concerning thing about the d has been watching dumos play drop and almost to a point where he is a liability out there. Letang should be playing a few less minutes also to keep his turnovers to a minimum. Letang is best when he reads the play and pinches with perfect timing. If hes a split second off, its an odd man rush the other way that weve seen waaay too many times. Having Friedman come in fresh and prove he can take some hard minutes from these guys is going to serve the pens well for the playoffs.
