People have a problem where he was drafted. You could've picked him in the 2nd round.
- FLYERSROCK!

ya that could be true. But its all speculative. It could have been the case that someone was chomping at the bit to get him right away in the early second round.

I would guess MTL because didn't someone from their coaching staff coach Jankowski?

It's all speculation.

Some big risks made with cervenka and janko. they could be seen as Franchise saving moves, or Rico Fatta's. Flames need to make some of those risks, and Feaster will either win or lose on how they pan out

We'll miss Jagr's leadership. That's about it. With this Mez injury, I expect us to be around 5-10 GF less than last year. Which would still be top 5 in league in GS.

If Bryz plays better than last year, this team will have no trouble whatsoever finishing 6th or higher. I place my bet on 5th.

And see last post aout Pits. They got even WORSE than we did, why is nobody doubting them??? They also have the most overrated goalie in the league.
- FLYERSROCK!

i don't think anyone is doubting the flyers making the playoffs or they will be top 6, just that their D got even weaker

look at the high scoring chances given up over shots

A healthy Crosby may just help them out ...................

Ahhhh duhhhhhh but who's stopping the opposition from that sieve in the net?n

Exactly. Pens=Flyers really. Mediocre d, great FWs, and mediocre goaltending.
But noooo Flyers suck! Flyers might not make the playoffs! Pens rock! Pens gonna be top team in East!

Life of Flyer fan right there. ^^^

Totally agree.

I still think e Flamesare in trouble, but I have to say this. This is the year to bomb. They NEED a top 5 pick. This is gonna be a great draft. If you could somehow get a top 3 pick next year, you're getting an NHL ready fantastic prospect.

How about they're both gonna suck?

You've had Lupul and got rid of him.


Jagr spurned you for another team.


Next few steps won't be pretty.

MAF is better than mediocre you can't base it from one series, he was a big reason why Pittsburgh won a cup and went to another finals

bryz well he has struggled in playoffs in philly (other than vs devils) and in phoenix

Letang is better than any d-man Flyers have...
Bryz has proved nothing...MAF has a Cup...
Giroux is sick...but Pens have better 1, 2 punch down the middle too...
They are very close, Pens are slightly better with Sid in the lineup

Right, and then the playoffs start and what happens?

Richard Park has inked a two-year deal with the Swiss League's HC Ambri Piotta.

ah ha, there is that Toughness that Feaster was talking about!

We need Bryz to play better. If he plays like he did last year, we're still good for 6th. If he can play better, we can finish 4th-5th.

With the lineups in the East how they are now, this is how I see it playing out....

1. NYR
2. BOS
3. WSH
4. PIT
5. PHI
6. BUF
7. TB
8. CAR
9. FLA
10. TOR
11. OTT
12. NJ
13. WPG
14. NYI
15. MTL

The Devils and Sens will go back to being what they should be on paper. Tampa Bay and Carolina will be much better. Florida will drop back a few pegs as they also over-achieved last season. Toronto will remain hovering close to a playoff spot. If they somehow acquire one more impact player, they sneak into 8th, possibly 7th. Winnipeg is status quo while the Isles and Habs will still suck.

The West

1. Vancouver
2. Los Angeles
3. St Louis
4. Chicago
5. Minnesota
6. Anaheim
7. Detroit
8. Colorado
9. Dallas
10. San Jose
11. Nashville
12. Edmonton
13. Calgary
14. Phoenix
15. Columbus

Leafs have nothing of interest to make the deal happen. We both need a first line centre, no way leafs are going to start throwing away 1st's again, and no way Burke wants to trade places with calgary's typical draft spot. Leafs + Kipper = 9th in the east. Flames - Kipper = Mackinnon. Wait a minute....Make us an offer (but please, no Kadri. We have enough useless prospects of our own.

My prediction:

1. St Louis
2. Los Angeles
3. Vancouver
4. Dallas
5. Chicago
6. Detroit
7. Nashville
8. San Jose
9. Minnesota
10. Anaheim
11. Edmonton
12. Colorado
13. Phoenix
14. Calgary
15. Columbus

St. Louis and LA will continue to improve, while Vancouver dips just a bit but still tops the sad-sack NorthWest. Dallas will be greatly improved while Detroit takes a step back. Nashville and San Jose will continue to hang on to two of the last three playoff spots and Minnesota, although improved, will still be missing the pieces to get them into the playoffs. Anaheim and Edmonton will improve slightly while Colorado and Phoenix drop a little. Calgary and Columbus will continue to fight for 14th place.
