Flyers just signed Hartnell to a LT extension and he’s never shown near the productivity that he did on Giroux’s line. To that extent Giroux hasn’t shown it either, outside of one game. Putting him lower down doesn’t even seem like a question worth answering. Giroux and Voracek are both set up men. 12 points, mostly due to a 4 point game this week, but only 3 goals. Giroux’s not known as a finisher either. Hartnell has to stay – does it make sense to have both Voracek and Giroux setting up Hartnell? Not to me – keep Read on the line as the RW (I understand that puts Simmonds on the third line). Actually my point is that Read has been the most consistent piece on that team, way undervalued. You have him for two more years and CAN bury him on the third line with an underperforming center, but why? He’s scoring on the third, doing very well, give him a shot. If Voracek is really your point-winner, spread the scoring. You need more than one scoring line, and Briere can be a set-up man and a scorer both. Point – Voracek has points, not goal. Giroux needs Hartnell and Read.

Point is (and I know you guys seemed to have missed it)…the Flyers won ONE in a row. Are you REALLY going to not put Hartnell back on the Giroux line?
