yeah chabrier would be a solid add but imo we gotta address the goalies first, can't even think bout scoring if we're gonna get lit up every game lol

cant agree more with you, section7, goaltending needs a makeover stat man we can't keep getting embarrassed every weekend lol

Kid, I don't think you can just "make over" goaltending like it's a car that needs a tune-up. We've got some young guys who are itching for a chance, and I think our coaching staff could do more to get them ready for the big leagues.

yeah kid goaltending is way deeper than a tune-up, our young guys need games man, cant keep throwing them against the wall and saying they just need "more coaching" honestly imo

yeah agree gotta get those young goalies some real ice time ngl i think hughes is still a year away from being a legit starter, but we can't keep messing around with him man

@Flyers9 yeah I'd say Huges is a good 2 years away from being legit starter and we're gonna be stuck giving him rope at the helm again this season because nobody wants to waste a high pick on a goalie who actually has a future with us sighs in text.

@Flyers9 i dont think hes even a year away honestly imo he looks decent but consistency is key and right now its just not there man

yeah cant disagree more on hughes man, he's shown some flashes but we just can't keep giving him starts when hes still so far off imo, @Flyers9 i think you're being kinda harsh on the kid, he's still got a lot to learn but what's the alternative at this point

@section7phi u think im bein harsh? kid's had enough starts already man, gotta let him ride some bus time now

@Flyers9 said:

@section7phi u think im bein harsh? kid's had enough starts already man, gotta let him ride some bus time now

gotta let him ride some bus time now is code for "we dont wanna take a loss when we actually give him a break" lol

@scott_flyers lmao yeah thats pretty much it man, cant risk losin games when he's out there lol

@section7phi i think ur right about hughes man he needs to spend some time in lehigh at least get his confidence up ngl imo

@scott_flyers said:

I agree that Hughes needs some time in Lehigh Valley, at this point it's just a numbers game with his ice time and I think he'll benefit from being in a more pressure-free environment, like I said before these kids wouldn't last a shift in '97. Reminds me of the days when a prospect actually had to earn their keep on the farm before getting called up.

i think ur spot on about hughes man its just a matter of getting him back to being the kid who dominated at clarkson lol

@scott_flyers idk about dominatin at clarkson lol i mean that kid couldnt even make our team last season

@Flyers9 come on man u still holdin out on that kid from clarkson? he's still got game if we can get him straightened out imo

@scott_flyers said:

@Flyers9 come on man u still holdin out on that kid from clarkson? he's still got game if we can get him straightened out imo

ugh i know ur tryin to be hard on hughes @Flyers9 but imo he got thrown into a tough spot last season and needs a fresh start in lehigh tbh he's still only 20 man

@Flyers9 got nothing but hate on our prospects man honestly i think were selling hughes short imo he's still gotta find his feet and thats all

@scott_flyers said:

i think u r forgettin about special teams though scotty its not just bout gettin back teh "kid from clarkson" its bout fixin teh power play and giving him a chance to shine in that role dont forget @Flyers9 still remembers how bad it looked last season lol

@scott_flyers said:

@Flyers9 come on man u still holdin out on that kid from clarkson? he's still got game if we can get him straightened out imo

i think you're right man, he's still got game, but he gotta stay healthy and get some confidence back honestly that's a bigger hurdle than last season imo @FlyersTruther got a point there about the kid being 20, young still, but we can't keep sayin he's got it when he can't even take a spot

I think you're being a bit too optimistic about Hughes' prospects, he's still got plenty of work to do and I don't see it happening anytime soon. At least we've got something to look forward to with the upcoming season... barely.

tbh i dont think we should count him out just yet man, gotta remember how much he stepped up towards the end of last season and showed flashes of that elite potential honestly

@scott_flyers: ngl i think ur sellin him short too hard man honestly i think he's still got that fire in his belly and some of the things u said about him last year made me a believer

i think doug g's got his head on straight here man, hughes still gotta prove himself before id say he's a lock for next season tbh

@Flyers9 i dont think doug g's got it right man hughes showed some real flashes towards the end of last season and that shouldnt be written off tbh

@Flyers9 said:

dont think doug g's got it right man hughes was a total different player down stretch imo and thats all that matters tbh

@FlyersTruther i gotta agree w/ him tho, u were sayin last year that he had no future here and now hes lookin like a legit top 6 guy man

@scott_flyers i still think u r giving him too much credit tho lol man last yr wasnt 6 games and the stretch run matters more than preseason impressions tbh

@FlyersTruther still think 6 games dont make a trend tho, preseason or whatever man that's just getting excited about nothing tbh

@FlyersTruther honestly 6 games against crap teams last yr dont make no trend, imo we need someone to actually put the puck in the net man
