Yeah, they should be better just due to that.

Same garbage roster as last year though.

We'll be able to see who the true garbage is this year. No more excuses because of Berube's system. Hoping for a break out season from Couts, one of MacDonald, Vinny or RJ playing well enough to give away at deadline and signs of Hakstol being a good NHL coach. Also would love to get a 1st for Streit at the deadline. I actually think we could have a decent D this year if Medvedev turns into a top 4 guy. Think we'll miss out on playoffs but nice looking top half of 2016 draft led by a future star forward in Auston Matthews.

i'm excited that we have young guys who can possibly contribute in the near future. should start to see the defense improving as the year goes on and some of the younger guys develop a bit more. definitely more excited than last season.

Rangers tie it with 1 minute left then win in OT on a questionable penalty shot

Raffl left injured...."upper body"

Yeah, that was maybe not even a penalty let alone a penalty shot. Mason looked fantastic; couple of unlucky bounces on first two goals and then the BS penalty shot. One troubling thing was that the Rangers really carried play in the 3rd period.

Porter and McDonald were waived this morning and will likely head to the Phantoms

1-1 early against NJ. The Flyers goal? PORTER

EDIT: Simmonds PPG....2-1 Flyers

and we lose both regulation and OT, with the latter ending because LaBarbera went dumb

All the writers are concerned because we didn't play well. In the preseason.

Minnesota claimed Porter off waivers

According to meltzer gagner, vinny, l. schenn and macdonald are outside the top 12/6.

Well they aren't good players but salary dictates they are going to play right?

I thought his point was Hakstol was going performance over contract but we'll see.

What can you even do with those guys if they don't play?

sit them. panaccio thinks schenn gets waived.

but masey already put schenn on his himself.

Wish we could have dumped Schenn at the draft. He is in his last year, right? Should probably just waive him.

it is amazing that no one will take luke schenn with one year left.
still at 24 players.

What a trade

I don't see any upside to waiving L Schenn at all.

Other than him being off the team?

His brother may have a sad.
