Some Random thoughts:

On Laughton: Being named captain of team Canada is pressure enough without having to deal with a bad coach. From the little bit I saw and what I've read, I thought he did a decent job in a very difficult situation.

On the Flyers D for 14-15: The only way they are getting a #1 guy is if they are willng to part with Couturier, B Schenn and more. I think Girardi would fit in nicely in Berube's system and I could live with Boyle replacing Timonen as long as the deal is for no more than 2 years. I would then trade Grossmann for cap space and go with the following:
Coburn-Boyle
Streit-Girardi
Gus or Lauridsen-Schenn

On Berube: Pretty hard to fault the job he has done so far. Unlike Lavi, he has crafted a system that fits his talent. I'd really like to see what he could do with a bit more talent and mobility on D.

Not bad, I'd be more along the lines of:
Edler/Buff-Coburn
Grossmann-Pitkanen
Timonen-Lauridsen/Alt

This Wallmark kid in Sweden is undrafted. Interesting.

These Finns are really easy to root for. Maybe not the most talented, not the biggest, but just a really pesky team.

Both of these teams can flat out fly. So much speed, and both work hard,.

That would happen right after I post that. But honestly I love that slapshot from the point. We need another finnish leading our powerplay after Timonen retires

Teravainen looks like a steal for Chicago.


- flyer_nutter


Teravainen was a first round pick, no?

I remember wanting him to fall to the Flyers, but he went two picks prior to the Flyers taking Laughton.

Lukas Wallmark was not drafted, the Finnish goalie (Preds pick) Jusse Saros was selected in 4th round of 2013

The Flyers did not have a 4th round pick (would have been pick 102) that was sent to Tampa Bay in a previous trade who then traded it to Ottawa

2012 Draft Teravaien taken #18 by Chicago. Lightning Goaltender Andrei Vasilevski taken #19. Flyers take Laughton #20

3 Good Players.

I meant if Wallmark is in the draft this year what round he would be in. My post wasnt that clear

In here Tim says that the Flyers could have had Yandle for the same price as JvR...if that's true...Jesus (frank)ing Christ.

I'm not sure if I do or not, but if Holmgren did shoot it down, then he should be fired.

Pardon me as I go slit my throat at the news of we could've had Keith Yandle for JVR instead of Luke Schenn
