When I try to remember Green play defense, I just picture every game we play against the Caps when he is playing and not hurt. I would classify is defense as below average.

His defense has gotten better over the last 2 or 3 years

Yup.
Lived down in D.C. for 6 years, so I saw plenty of the Caps. While he's never going to be a shut-down player, his defensive deficiencies are exaggerated.
RT @NHLFlyers: MORE: #Flyers have recalled forward Scott Laughton from the Oshawa Generals of the OHL. #FlyersTrainingCamp
we all knew it was coming but now it's official. doubt he sticks. even if he's ready to hold down the job i don't they'd burn a yr of his ELC for this season unless he just blows everyone away.

What do you guys think about Hartnell Giroux Schenn ?
Schenn said he is gunning for that spot on that line.
Probably a better option than Jake and better for his development. Jake is a pass first (and second) guy like Giroux and I just don't think they compliment each other too well.
Schenn looked terrible throughout the game, and Couturier had no chemistry with his teammates (Voracek was easily the best player on that line. Talbot looked over his head)
Looking forward to Briere coming back. Can put Talbot on the 4th line, and either sit Wellwood or Rinaldo....
Completely change around, but throwing **** at a wall. Also keeping the lines together after one game to get chemistry could work out also, BUT this is the lineup thread so changing things is what I'll do
On defense I'd keep everything the same except when Gustafsson is healthy, make him replace Foster.
That's what I want to see once Briere gets back. I thought Read and Voracek were better than most today. Voracek was the only bright spot on Couturier's line. Read was also looking fast out there. I thought Brayden looked lost on the top line. He had no shots on goal, while Voracek had 6 (granted some were on the PP).

Rusty didn't look too good. I'd honestly rather have Talbot on the 3rd then Rusty. I'd just keep Laughton up in that case though.
Edit: I think trying to bring back the Harntell,Briere chemistry could be a good thing. Also maybe Giroux and Briere developed some chemistry while playing in Berlin
