As per the medical team: This is the first season in a long time the team decided to go without utilizing their team chiropractor (who is also the chiropractor for the Eagles) with the mindset that one of the DO’s on staff can “do what they do”. Anyone who knows and understands what chiropractic is truly about, knows differently. Chiropractic’s basis is on prevention not waiting until something is “broken” then try to fix it. Injuries happen in hockey, it’s a high speed contact sport, but the rate at which they occurred, how long they have lingered and the amount and quickness of re-injury this season, you cannot believe not having a true chiropractor on staff this season isn’t directly related. Look around the world of sports, every top sports team and/or athlete has their own team or private chiropractor. Philadelphia needs to wake up to the times and do everything it can do get back on top. The greatest ability a professional hockey player can have is availability.

If this is the path taken, we are in for a long decade of losing. Signing risto at all let alone over 5m for term would be the worst move to make. This also means sanhiem is gone for cap. Cf making these trades is a major mistake as he has won very few of his lifetime as a gm. Hiring either tocchet or torts is another just god aweful move and stinks like old school flyers. Signing anyone from this current team on the 3rd and 4th lines does not help either. And you don’t build around an aging player Atkinson.
