Sometimes, you have to see the good in bad things. Yeah, this season is disappointing, but it doesn't mean that the stretch from now on until the end of the year isn't going to be interesting.
Like I said, making those experiments won't cost anything, as the Flyers won't make the playoffs. Imagine if Farabee is actually playing well at center, or one of Konecny or Frost look good on the PK. It could be absolutely huge for the team!
