Yes, because the Flyers post Carter-Richards have been a shining example of a team.

Trade happened in 2012. They missed the playoffs 2013, eliminated first round 2014, missed in 2015, eliminated first round of 2016, and missed in 2017, after being contenders for the 5 ish years prior. I would say those trades made them significantly worse, as undoubtedly trading Monahan and Johnny would do to us.

Monahan has been injured for 4 months and still playing. I cannot understand the disrespect the dude gets out here. He has improved every season he has played.
