Flyers' Craig Berube on Scott Hartnell believing coach had say in trade: 'That doesn't bother me' | NJ.com​

From Bill Meltzer:

"In the second period of Thursday's game against Florida, Flyers head coach Craig Berube moved Wayne Simmonds from his customary right wing position to play left wing on the top line with Giroux and Voracek. The line remains intact tonight.

R.J. Umberger, whom the Flyers reacquired from the Blue Jackets this summer in exchange for Scott Hartnell, is off the slowest start of his NHL career. Flyers general manager Ron Hextall recently met one-on-one with Umberger, who admitted on Tuesday that he feels like he's been "carrying a piano" on his back with all the pressure he's been putting on himself.

In an effort to see if putting a natural playmaker on their line can create more scoring chances for Umberger (one goal, three points, 18 shots in 14 games) and Vincent Lecavalier (two goals, five points, 16 shots in seven games), Flyers head coach Craig Berbue has promoted Jason Akeson from the fourth line. Chris VandeVelde moves down to the line centered by Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.

On the injury front, left winger Michael Raffl (lower body) will be out six weeks after sustaining an injury blocking a shot last Tuesday. Defenseman Luke Schenn (left shoulder) got hurt in the first period of Saturday's game and is said to be somewhat ahead of the initial two-week estimate for his absence. Defenseman Andrew MacDonald (right knee) could return in late November."

It would be nice to see Umberger put up some points on his old team.

I like the Flyers tonight 5-3. Big game for the G line and I think Hartnell has a big game against us.
