Rangers win. It's official, we can have serious Seth jones discussions without being accused of being bandwagon fans

Still might be a tall order with their current position in the standings.

I'd take Ristolainen before those fine prospects.

If Ryan Miller gets bought out.

I'd slip some $ into his fruit of the looms to see if he bites.

(assuming Bryzgalov doesnt return)

You'd just give some another person to hurl hate/anger at since he's given some Buffalo fans and non fans plenty to work with

I think they fall a bit lower down. Somewhere from 6-8 ish.

Who knows. Will be interesting to see if they take a d-man at that point. I dont think it would be too much of a stretch.

Right now 8th, they'll end up in that area for sure.

Have you seen anything of my guy Zadorov lately?

I've been really busy with nursing poop all week.

There seems to always be a top 5 player who falls in every draft. I wonder who it will be this year? Monahan?

Yes, he's been "okay", nothing impressive on a consistent basis. He flashes it but want to see it more often.

Monahan has falled in rankings but I think that's not based on his play as much as some playing that much better then some scouts thought. I agree with Bill in that Monahan is a very safe pick but you'll be very happy with him, his game, & his work ethic.

I sure hope Flyers fans don't get stuck on taking a defenseman, it's very possible it can be a forward.

I'll admit I havent paid much attention to Monahan at all.

Domi kind of makes me interested. The kid is apparently all heart, has great work ethic and does the extra little things it takes to win.

I like Domi, but I'd take Monahan before him without even hesitating. Monahan has much if not all of that and has the size to go with it.

Generally speaking, the Flyers usually have done very well with their first round draft picks as long as they don't trade them for Steve Eminger.

Yup, I'm not worried. And even though I'd like a d-man taken I won't get stuck on that & take the best available player at whatever spot they select.

Has taken advantage of a bigger role this year but the team is still loaded. He's done well.

Not to stir up the same old poop again but if they had not won the last 2 games (MTL, NYR), which on paper they should not have, Flyers would have been 3rd from bottom today and not 8th.

Can't dwell on something like that, it's over. Top 10 is still a damn good spot to be drafting.

I'd rather them go down with a fight, especially with the young age this team has.

Might light a fire for next season. "Unfinished business"....
