let’s assume they are contending in 5 years. who will still be here that is part of the core “solution”
If you mean serious cup contention, it’s more about adding. They can use another #1/2 center, a Top 4 Dman, a goalie, more size and toughness. Maybe they can get one or two of those slots filled internally. If not they have to go shopping.
Not including this season.
More accurate numbers would be the number of goals he has scored the last 3 years which is 75/ 232 – number of games he has played. That gives you .3232.
Then take the average number of games he has played over the 3 seasons which is 77.33.
77.33 * .3232= 25 goals per year.
Either way use whatever numbers you want. Love pace. Am I to assume Tippet is an elite level winger?
what 3 wingers do the flyers have that have averaged 27 goals (your number) a year over that time frame?
Why wouldn’t you include this season? Yes, let’s try to analyze a player’s current value by not including the season he’s currently having. That’s hilarious. Tippett is a top 4 winger for the overwhelming majority of teams in this league and he brings what the Flyers need more of which is size and goal scoring. The guys the Flyers need to move on from are the small guys who’ll never crack 18-20 goals in a season. With Martone over Brink, the Flyers will gain 40 pounds of muscle and not give up anything production wise in even his first year. Brick by brick. Hahaha!
where are you coming up with 27? where are the 3 teams with 3 wingers with 27 goals coming from?
how can zegras improve on his faceoffs?
94 goals in 288 games over the last 4 seasons. 94 divided by 288 is .326 multiplied by 82 is 27. Simple math. Which teams have three wingers who have put pucks in the net at that pace? I’ll give you a head start: Dallas does. They have Robertson, Rantanen and Hintz. Who else does?
The word around in the summer was Zegras needs to cheat better. Sometimes wingers need to jump in and grab pucks to cement a faceoff win. Flyers don’t stand out at that.
tippet is underwhelming. solid depth piece. he is what he is and no more untapped potential. he has 28, 27, and 20 goals each the last 3 seasons. 19 this year.
zegras was back on the wing last night. the coach has no long-term vision, he is dope. he will end up a winger on this team
Again you fail to appreciate averaging 27 goals per 82 over 4 seasons puts Tippett in limited company. Please list the teams that have three wingers that can all match or top that number.
Zegras needs to get better at the dot. FWIW, Shane Wright has a comparably bad faceoff percentage.
you said a lot of dumb shit. like brink will be fighting for a roster spot.
Nobody stepped up enough to take it from him. Bump was not as advertised and Grebenkin won himself a 4th line role. To be the man you’ve got to beat the man. Brink is still not part of the solution. Martone will fix that.
WTF is tippet delivering? he is an underwhelming 20 something goal scorer. A solid depth piece. nothing more. certainly not a core player.
Briere is too scared to ask tK to waive and also has no interest in moving him. Briere is a putz. TK can help any team and one has to hope him and his BFF ask out. I doubt it as both are comfortable as hell in the current situation.
Hate to break the news to you but 27 goals per 82 games is not underwhelming. That’s a top 6 winger for just about any team in the league. Plus he’s proven to be durable. Of course, that doesn’t matter.
Either way they have a log jam in center. Assuming they resign Zegras and plan to use him as a center, he will get a NMC because Flyers. That leaves you with 3 C with NMC for the next 3 years (Dvorak, Coots, Zegras). That doesn’t include Cates who is on a 4 year extension. What do you do with the existing centers, most of which are unmovable? The Flyers already have too many middle six wingers for next year. Unless Wright ends up being a #1 center you are worse off than before with 5 centers who aren’t the answer and no place to put another if you can find one.
Zegras has to crack his issue with winning faceoffs. He’s flipping back to center sooner or later and that fills one of the two top scoring center needs. Somebody else can always flip to wing.
crazy thing is they are still very much in the playoff race. couple games out.
It is crazy they’re still in the race, a very long shot now, after going 3-8-4 in their last 15 games since the ANA game. They were 22-12-7 the first half of the season.
Seeing talk from Canadian media that Konecny and Tippett could go with the right return. Konecny is a .95 PPG player over the last 4 seasons and is proved durable. Tippett is big, can skate, averages 27 goals per 82 games over the same 4 seasons and is more durable than Konecny. The Flyers need more size up front, not less. People gripe about the lack of production from the center spots. They aren’t wrong but these two guys are delivering without it. Package better be extraordinary. Need a proven #1/2 C or a Top 4 Dman to consider it.
brink is the only one I see not being on this team next season. draft or deadline trade.
What was I saying as soon as this board opened?
Brink and Barkey both in the Top 9 leaves you with too small a Top 9. They’ve also got a few 185-190 guys, not small, just average. Now Carolina has a small team up front too, but look at their smaller guys. Aho, PPG guy, Jarvis, close to it, Ehlers, not far behind Jarvis and all three are much better producers than Barkey or Brink.
With Andrae in, along with average to smallish for Dmen York and Drysdale, it’s a small blue line too.
I have no problem with Grebenkin or Bonk who is still a kid and will fill out to 200. Martone is the guy. No worries there, just not 100% sure he’ll turn pro next year. Small with average at best skills gets smashed in the NHL regular season let alone playoffs.
The Kings got Panarin for a prospect + a conditional third and signed him for $11M for two years.
Panarin would only waive for the Kings. It was the only place he was willing to be traded to and gave them a sweetheart extension deal. The Flyers were never in.
Again with size over skill.
The Flyers are noticeably small on the ice. Not everybody, but their smaller guys are noticeably small and don’t have elite skills. If they did, they would be playing.
The Flyers need to play great (like .680 hockey great) the rest of the way to have a shot at the playoffs.
Flyer frank you really are a bozo. A dumb fuck.
Wow they have a better win % than last year. Get back to me when the season is over. Then compare
Wow they are in the playoff race. As is every team except the Rangers. What a high bar. They were in playoff “race” last year.This team is no different than when the putz took over.
Same cliched BS that is 100% correct. That upsets you as it shows how much of an uneducated flyers fan you show on a daily basis.
Are the flyers on the path to cup contention?
Have you suffered some traumatic brain injury that causes mid-term memory issues? The collapse last year started when they dumped Frost and Farabee to Calgary in late January. There were already a couple games behind this year’s pace when that collapse started. They ended up 15 points out of a playoff spot.
the flyers love blind fans like you. you are the target market.
even stevie wonder can see this team isnt very good and the franchise is poorly run.
shit you probably think tocchet is doing a good job
Does the team have a better win percentage this year than they did last year? Yes, significantly so. Are they in the playoff race? Yes, 2.5 games out with a third of the season left. Are the team’s obvious shortcomings improvable over this coming off season? Yes.

good read
Same cliched bullshit that every other idiot who doesn’t know hockey spews. No wonder you’re impressed.
