I still think it makes sense to switch Raffl to the 3rd and Weise to the 4th.

At face value, yes. On the other hand, Leier-Laughton-Raffl look like they could be forming one of the best 4th lines in the league. The 1st and 2nd lines look reasonably set. It's the 3rd line that really is just a mish-mash of parts at this point. I agree with others that Konecny has top 6 talent, but who drops down? Weal? Might happen at some point. I also suspect that Weise's time in the top 12 won't last long...

The bell tolls for Flyers' Core 3

Pretty ironic, I would've thought you'd guess 0-82...Lol

I'll say more along the lines of 43-24-15 and 101 points.

Hopefully we can get off to a good start and not fall behind the pack in the first few weeks like we have done for the past 6 seasons.

Switch Raffle to the 3rd line and send Weise down or trade him.

Just saw some new uniform numbers for some of the players. Did not see anything on Patrick but I am thinking 19.

5 - Morin
6 - Sanheim
8 - Hagg

Yep, he's 19. Curious that they're giving them all new numbers. That's more of a sign of sticking around usually..

Ghost says he's good to play tomorrow. D pairs in practice were intriguing.

Provorov - MacDonald
Sanheim - Gudas
Manning - Hagg
Morin - Ghost

At this point, who knows what Hak is going to do. Maybe they dress 8 dmen

From Bill Meltzer:

"Gostisbehere participated fully in Tuesday's practice and declared himself ready to go for opening night."

Interesting that Hagg and Sanheim get the nod over Morin. Sharks must be a fast moving team.

I think we can all agree that it's a great looking roster aside from Weise and MacDonald. If those two guys don't perform, they should be benched and replaced asap, because we probably have younger guys who can do it better.

Guys like Morin and Lindblom. Essentially, there's no reason to not have these two veterans on a very short leash due to these two rookies.

I think the D is pretty unsettled at this point. I would imagine the morning skate is happening or taking place shortly, that will give a good indication.

guess they liked it in preseason! again, my only issue with it is what it does to Konecny's line (strips it of talent to support him)

If Weiss gets put on the 4th line and either Leier or Raffl gets moved up Tk's line will be fine.
