Maybe they'll give us a break after the JVR trade. There's got to be a little guilt there don't ya think?

It hasn't been lopsided. Can you imagine this defense without Luke Schenn?

We would not have gotten Seth Jones. We would have gotten Darnell Nurse and I would have been even more upset with the pick.

Or Ristolanien.

possibly.....i think morin might actually be ok in a year or two

I think they had Risto and Morin ahead of Nurse
- PhillySportsGuy

Well at least that makes me feel better. Risto would have been good. I still say Pulock would have been better, but I'm willing to be patient and optimistic with Morin.

Or 3-4 more likely. Give him another year in juniors after this, a season in the AHL (spot duty call-up maybe), then we'll see what he looks like.

I probably would. Granted, he'd go on to pot 30/45/75 in his first full year there and all, but it's a pretty even trade at present.

I think Gardiner has more upside. He's a potential all star defenseman. Schenn looks like a future solid top 6 guy.

I can imagine a shoot out loss in Carolina and 1 pt in the standings.


Seriously, We sold low. It will look worse in a couple years I believe.

I liked Pulock too, but I'm willing to trust the Flyer scouts on this one. They usually are pretty good in the first. Especially, when they take a guy in Canada.

Wait, who scored the goal for the Flyers?

Or Ristolanien.

1. MacKinnon
2. Jones
3. Drouin
4. Lindholm
5. Barkov
6. Morin
7. Mueller
8. Zadorov
9. Nurse
10. Ristolainen
11. Monahan
12. Morrissey
13. Gauthier
14. Horvat
15. Lazar
16. Mantha
17. Pulock
18.
19. Domi
20. Nichushkin
21. Rychel
22. De La Rose
23. McCarron
24. Hartman
25. Hagg

- PhillySportsGuy

Gardiner's either going to be great or strike out, I don't see much middle ground for him. But I'm a sucker for those USA WJC guys. When are we getting Josh Gibson?

It was all about team building and carry over remember...

Gustaffson would have had to jump in on that.

This bears repeating: Tim Thomas career in Philly: 8 games, 8-0, 1.86 GAA, .947 save percentage.

Is Tim Thomas bringing Zdeno Chara with him?

Remind Adam that during that time, he was in the net for some other team which might have had a little something to do with those numbers.

I know. I'm just infatuated with a guy who's 6'1 211 lb and has a 100 mph slapshot at 19 years old. I really think he'll be the steal of the draft.

Slapshot speed is overrated. It's more important just to get the shot through. Why do you think Timonen has been the QB of some very good Flyers PPs

Al MacInnis was no slouch.

Just sayin'

Well, so far, he does have 2G/4A in 2 games in the toughest junior league in the world. I'm not gonna dwell on it, I'm just a big fan.

Flyers now have the toughest and most intimidating GM, coach combination in hockey.
