He doesn’t have the ability to do that.

We're the 3rd worst team in the League right now.

I say cut all the vets loose and see who steps up among the youngsters. It's time for them to take the reigns.
It can't get any worse than it is right now.
Agreed.

The fact that we paid 2 firsts and a 2nd line Center still stings.

We won a cup, but that’s a heavy price to for a guy who’s been a JAG his entire career.

Are you being sarcastic about Schenn? More than 1,000 career games and will retire with 300-plus goals. That's JAG?

Lehtera was a 2C? Wow. Not even close.

As to the trade, one first-round pick was for Schenn, the other was for Flyers to take Lehtera and his contract.

So, you'd rather have the guy who played less than 300 games in the NHL and was involved in a narcotics distribution ring? Please opine, I've gotta hear this.

They still gave up 2 1sts and a 2C to aquire Schenn didn’t they?

And yeah, I don’t think Schenn is a superstar. He’s had a pretty good career but I don’t think he’s anything special.

Where did I say that?

I didn’t say it wasn’t a good trade for the franchise, but 2 1’s and a 2C is a lot to pay for a guy like Schenn.

Also, 300 less games is disingenuous. Lehtera was a professional player in Europe for 4 or 5 seasons before he came over. And considering how Europeans do against the North Americans, I’d argue there’s not much of a drop off.

And who would that be?
If you want a warm body who does 4th line work and you don't care if he gets suspended or misconducts, McGing.

If you want someone with a bit more game, Peterson.

If you want a Defensemen who isn't afraid to give it to someone because Broberg is out for anything week to week or longer that you can IR him for the roster spot, Skinner.

We don't have someone who is a pure fighter and nothing else (and those days imo are gone so we shouldn't have one), but we have 3 or 4 that can very easily do what is needed.
