ParticipantI think Couturier is better than you do at this stage. I don’t expect him to be the .9 PPG player he was in his prime, but he can still get to .7-.75 PPG and help a team win. That’s actually a good 2C, if you’re thinking in those terms. Zegras will be the 1C offensively at least. These forward lines look OK to me. I don’t see any worrisome holes there. Could a couple spots be upgraded? That’s what Luchanko and Martone are for in a year. It’s the team D that needs to get way better. There are worrisome holes on the blueline.
He hasn’t come close to that post back surgery but maybe getting away from Torts will rejuvenate him. I doubt it though. You are putting alot of faith in Zegras just needing a change of scenery. I hope you are correct.

yes its me 2050ParticipantDvorak is going to take faceoffs. Whether he takes the draw and then rotates over to wing, we will see.
been saying from day one he will be on the wing much more than center; taking draws.
he didn’t sign here, nor will the coach use him as a 4th line center.

ParticipantNone good. Coots is probably a good 3C who can play up and down the lineup at this point in his career on a contender and he may still be the best the Flyers have. He did have a bit of a revival last year as the team fell apart around him but I doubt at age 33 with his injury history that if they lean on him to hard that he’ll produce and more importantly, stay healthy.

yes its me 2050ParticipantTocchet might want 2 scoring lines and a checking line. He can do that.
Michkov-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Zegras-Tippett
Dvorak-Cates-BrinkTocchet might want 3 balanced lines and put his three best right hand shots on right wing. He can do that.
Bump-Couturier-Konecny
Dvorak-Zegras-Tippett
Michkov-Cates-FoersterTocchet might want to leave two lines that worked well late last year together and piece together a third line. He can do that.
