Thread: a few moves to be a contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigBeardBurns</b></div><div>Idk y u ppl want Faksa. Their system of C contains the likes of Giroux, Couturier, Laughton, Patrick, Frost, Rubtsov, Laberge, Filppula, and Lehtera, and there are even a few more. If anything, they need to start trading Cs for a better Goaltender or better wingers.</div></div>

G has made the move to wing and isn't going back, Laughton is a 4C or low end 3C at best, Rubstov and Laberge haven't come into their own yet so can technically be seen as question marks at this point, Filp is gone after this season and Lehtera hopefully doesn't see the ice much after this postseason. That leaves you with Coots, Patrick, and Frost. Plus Frost still will have to prove himself at the higher levels. It's very unlikely that Frost, Laberge, and Rubstov all pan out and Laughton is a RFA soon. I don't think that's as deep as you think it is or it seems. Faksa is a defensively sound 3C that would help this team a lot.

Thread: D-F swap
A signing like Hickey makes little sense with the log jam the team is beginning to have on the back end plus he's a lefty which they already have too many of on the blue line. Manning coming back better not even be a possibility with how poor he's played. The trades with CBJ and LAK kind of seem like moves with no gain to me so I'd be interested if you want to elaborate on the thought process there. I personally would rather have Laughton and Strome than Murray or Iafallo. As much as I would love to get rid of AMac I can't see Hextall moving a second just to rid his contract with how much he loves his picks so I think he's more likely to just bury him or he'll be a 7th dman next year. Can definitely get behind the Weise and Neuvirth trades although I'm not sure we'll be lucky enough to get rid of Weise. In my opinion there is no way Neuvy is a Flyer next year and he'll definitely be moved or waived. Not to be rude but I HATE the Sanheim trade. I really see him being a part of this team's future especially now that Hak seems to recognize he needs to be playing. Sprong is good but I definitely think moving Morin is the more realistic and better option if we want to move a young dman this offseason to free up a spot for Myers/Friedman. I actually love the Bjugstad trade as I think he'd be a perfect 3C for this team and would balance out the lineup and help PP2 a ton. I'm all for giving up that package for him and I'd like to see what a FLA fan thinks of it and if they'd be for it.

Thread: Lines needed to make/in the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Only thing I would change would be to swap Gudas and AMac. That allows Sanheim to be a little more offensive minded with the steady Gudas staying home. It is truly hard to tell who is worse, Manning or Amac.</div></div>

Gudas has looked really bad lately. He seems to fail to clear the puck on at least half of his attempts. It is tough to tell just how much of that is because of his pairing with Manning though. I'm on the unpopular opinion that AMac hasn't been as bad as usual this season. Don't get me wrong he is not good and is making way too much, but in my opinion he's been less of an issue than Manning and Gudas. Plus the he isn't used in the right situations for his skill level and that is part of the problem. Also, the Sanheim and AMac pairing has very good underlying metrics. Definitely a better 3rd pair than 2nd but unfortunately they're the team's best 2nd pair option right now.

Thread: Lines needed to make/in the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>Not bad. I still think the best forward lines are with Raffl at center. We could go with this right now:

Giroux-Coots-TK
Lindblom-Patrick-Voracek
Weal-Raffl/Laughton-Simmonds
Filp-Laughton/Raffl-Read

.. also, I agree. Throw Hagg back in for Manning. The PK stuff is irrelevant because it will be bad. The best thing they can do is continue to just not take penalties.</div></div>

Unfortunately there is nothing more than a 0% chance Hak does anything with Filp as drastic as moving him to wing. Hak loves his vets and thinks much too highly of Filp. As far as PK goes, penalties are going to be taken, its inevitable. I'm not saying this will make drastic changes to the numbers but the PK is so bad that something has to be done to try to make it better.
