he's just jealous cause we are better than the Rangers

pjhawks

so the top 2 defense prospects have both gotten hurt this year. man that sucks. i guess Hextall will hold Gostibehere back in the minors for another year now too.

team is playing pretty solidly right now. still think the D sucks though.

i don't think its a bad thing that the 2 young dman are staying back. defense is the hardest position to play, we don't want another L. Schen issue in the future.

can't say about Morin but have seen Gostibehere a few times and he has 1000x more talent than Luke Schenn. Let's hope the torn ACL doesn't affect him long term. some young guys are just talented enough to play right in the NHL. Florida is playing an 18 year defensemen 20 minutes a night and didn't Seth Jones played a ton last year?

I understand what you are saying but Florida is a much different situation than the flyers and Seth Jones is a much better dman than Ghost is. is it very rare that you get a dman who plays right away.

I think if you ask the Oilers, they would have loved not to play their young players right away and would rather sent them back to the minors.

yes florida doesn't have a bunch of average to below-average veterans filling their roster like the flyers do.

i'm not saying all young guys can play right away but all indications were that Gostibehere was one of the most effective d-man in training camp and the only reason Hextall sent him down was because of his age and lack of experience.

I would say that Florida is rebuilding and actually have worse defense than the flyers and that is why they can start a 18 year old dman.

my question is who would you take out to put Ghost in?

before injury...luke schenn or grossman. never been a fan of luke schenn. and no reason to have schultz or the new guy they just signed over ghost before the injury. signing those types of guys is why this franchise has perpetual cap issues. at some point you have to stop with the older average veterans and trust some young guys and let them play through some issues early in the season.
