Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek, Wayne Simmonds, Luke Schenn, Steve Mason, Brayden Schenn, Sean Couturier, Erik Gustaffsson, Scott Laughton, Nick Cousins and Ryan Pulock might be a pretty decent core if they all play to standards.

It rivals any other young core due to the sheer bulk of that. Look at all those great 26 and unders

Also fixed it for you

Does he look like a female dog?

W-www--ww-whaaa?

Keeping JvR would have meant no L.Schenn and I have to completely disagree with you that JvR over L.Schenn would have meant a better season. He's going to be a top pairing staple for this defensive core.

In a rare trade scenario, as of now BOTH teams have come out on the high end of a trade.

My apologies. I just don't wanna get my hopes too high there but he could be something special.

EDIT

Looking at his stats. He played 3 less games this season then the last but he's taken huge steps with highs in points, hits and blocked shots. All good signs.

We can just draft little subban

I figured when it was reported they tried to trade for Bernier, bryz wouldn't last the offseason... I do fear mason flopping and the two decade goalie carousel starting again. Aw such is life... C'mon stolarz!

Just like Jake. Career year in a fraction of the games. Such good promise.

I liked what I saw from mason it was only 7 games but this guy wants to prove himself he's gonna work his tail off to be number one here

No, the first one was deleted mysteriously (not by me)...but it worked out anyway.

Sounds like a superhero from The Tick.

Leave Bryz out of this please.

Luke schenn was good for 48 gms and that's good, but the flyers wanted a top pairing dman going into the off season and ended up w/ a nice stay-at-home type, needing a puck mover and a scoring winger...that's a net loss for me and the streit signing proves they should have kept carle.


now add that jvr was a beast in 2 out of 3 playoffs and I'd take my scenario. imo,both jvr and Luke have to prove it over a full season...and Bob too, for that matter.

i think homer really screwed gillis by buying out bryz hurts luongo's trade value tremendously for everyone except the flyers

As always, whether I agree with every post or not, I enjoy reading the Flyers threads. Interesting stuff to think about.

Great job, folks!

moving jvr gave voracek the opportunity to become that scoring winger. Outscored jvr by 4 goals and had 14 more points

obviously it helps to play iwth giroux, but just sayin...

i think we should be nice to mason for at least one full year before ripping him in goal
