Thread: Provorov signs exact same deal as Werenski
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>You guys have so many promising players that are on the rise. I thought Patrick was the next 2c? Trust me as a WPG fan, I know how much it hurts to have a 3c making 5m+

If I was PHI I wouldnt have signed Hayes, like csick said, if you needed a 2c, Giroux could have stepped in. To me this move for them just pushes Patrick down the lineup unless they decide to play in on the wing.</div></div>

Patrick has struggled in the 2C role that's one of the biggest reasons for signing Hayes. Giroux has been more productive on the wing and will still take draws but the defensive responsibility of playing red line to red line was getting too much. Giroux said it himself he'd prefer to play on the wing.

Thread: Early Playoff Predictions - Current rosters
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jambo</b></div><div>I wanted to put them in over Pit but I feel like Crosby and Malkin will always have them at least in the playoffs even without a deep run. I think Carolina and Wash will be in again and I think Alain Vigneault leading that Philly roster will be extremely dangerous... and Florida should finally be good enough for a wild card at minimum. East is going to be bananas this year when you also factor in the potential for NYR, NJD, BUF, and MTL to all be in the hunt down the stretch....</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Agree on the Flyers making the playoffs. Niskanen, a full year of Hart, a contract year for Couturier, and a bounce back from JVR make them one of the most improved teams this summer.

Why Pittsburgh over New Jersey? It seems like you're saying both Pittsburgh and Phoenix both won the Kessel trade. I'm guessing Pittsburgh won it, but whether that's enough to keep them ahead of NJ and Carolina? I don't know.

Boston in 2nd, I'd be surprised.</div></div>

I'm happy that people that aren't fans of the Flyers realize that they had a pretty decent summer and should be pretty good next year. Couturier still has 3 years left on his contract but it is a contract year for Patrick and he'll have a lighter load since he's going to be 3C.
