John Tortorella completely reconstructs the Flyers lineup and demotes the teams best forward

NHL Insider Kevin Kurz reports that John Tortorella debuted new lines during Flyers practice today and is expected to be the teams new lineup against the Sharks tonight.

With Scott Laughton centering Cam Atkinson and Tyson Foerster, Tortorella debuted a new first line.

There appears to be a pattern here with Noah Cates centering Joel Farabee and Bobby Brink on the 2nd line.

What a wild third line with Morgan Frost centering Travis Konency and Owen Tippett. It almost seems like it should be the second.

Last but not least, Ryan Poehling centers Garnet Hathaway and Nic Deslauriers in the fourth.

Tortorella appears to be playing favorites with Scott Laughton being the only player to wear the "A" for the team. It is easy to recognize the pattern.

What matters most is whether these new combinations will result in more wins for the team? A 5-6-1 record currently places the Flyers sixth in the Metropolitan Division.

Just below the Washington Capitals, who are in the process of retooling.
