When people get to nit-picking the stewardship of Ron Hextall as Flyers general manager, it usually focuses on the players he has acquired, not those he has drafted.
We will know more by season's end whether signing James van Riemsdyk to a five-year, $35 million year deal was smart or folly, but for most of the previous two seasons, Dale Weise has been near or at the top of the list of Hextall's indictable offenses.
An elevated spot for a third or fourth liner for sure, especially one who sat out huge chunks of last season and played only sparingly when he did dress.
