would any Flyers fans who watch often say Simmonds has begun his decline? He is a keeper of mine and love the guy but need to be realistic for the future.

I believe Hextall has done a solid job building his flyers but what's happening happening with Patrick is crazy. Doesn't even send him to WJC. Messing him up?
What's your take FLYER FANS?

Patrick has nothing to learn from WJC so, I am unconcerned. The AHL would have been good for him, but he's too young I think. What I do know is Patrick made the team on merit. He's good enough to play in the NHL. Its a steep learning curve. I wouldn't give him 1st line minutes just because he's a high pick. You gotta earn that. He will continue to develop and he will eventually earn it.

I possibly would've sent him to the WJC, but it would've depended on what the coach wanted, and also the player if we got to that level. He's playing fine, and as Atomic Wedgy said, made the team on merit. I can see either route working, so it depends on team needs/wants and player needs/wants.

The Simmonds Weal Patrick line has been pretty damn good over the last few weeks.

The Flyers have an important stretch ahead of them... with the division being so tight they need to make the most of the next stretch of games:
Hurricanes
Canadiens
Coyotes
Golden Knights
Devils
Blue Jackets
Rangers
Canadiens
Blue Jackets
Senators
Canadiens
Hurricanes.
Play 'should beat' teams in Canadiens (2x) Senators (2x) and Coyotoes.
Then they play a bunch of games against the other teams right behind and right ahead of them in the division.
I would suggest the flyers need to win 8-9 of this 12 game stretch and come out with 19 points from these games to sand a chance at playoffs.
The stretch of 11 games to finish the season after the above 12 games includes games against:
Tampa
Pittsburgh
Winnipeg
Washington
Vegas
Boston.
So the next 12 games are really important to accumulate some points because the final 9 games are a lot tougher.

That Metropolitan division is so darn tight it's crazy!! The team that finishes 1st in the Atlantic is going to have to face a tough Metro opponent in the 1st round!!

Alright, Nolan Patrick. I don't watch a lot of Philly games, so his recent uptick kind of came as a surprise to me after his slow start, and I was starting to worry he'd be a long-term project to hit his upside. So, to those of you who watch more games, and look deeper into their system, how would you gauge his progression? Is he going to be a fixture in their top 6 next season and continue to grow? Asking mainly because I've got him in my farm and was offered Tuch and Vrana for him, both of whom I have been watching more of this season.

He was looking really good on the second line with Simmonds... and now he is looking really good on the PP with Simmonds out.
Tuch and Vrana are both good prospects too... but I think you got to keep the upside of Patrick.
