Down here, near the Jersey Cape, it's rare to find a contractor who doesn't have a rod & tackle on his work truck. We used to have a dude who kept a kayak in his truck

I fish so I understand. When the fish are biting, you won't get off the water if your arm was falling off.

Oh, yeah...my buddy has been hitting Drums all week in the bay. He's getting home, and sprinting to the damned boat launch

They need offensive help, so one young " top" prospect for another.
There is no way I would trade both Schenns for Myers.
I do like Myers and would really like to see him in Philly.
Maybe a 3rd or McGinn along with B Schenn and Grossman

- 3flyerkids


I am really against trading B. Schenn right now, unless he is part of a package of a bona fide #1 (ie Weber, Subban, OEL), which isn't going to happen.

The guy is 22 years old, and I don't believe he has reached his ceiling. The team goes through his growing pains the last two years, I just can't see it for a "hopefully" really good d-man in Myers or someone else.

I haven't fished once yet. Water is so cold. I assumed there isn't much out there yet.

Nothing but good things to say about JP Crawford from the Phils' brass. Batting .346 for low A Lakewood. Didn't realize he was tearing up like that.

Of course, that's low A sally ball...still got a lonnnnnngggg way to go

I don't have mine on my truck anymore, because it have too much crap. But my father in law has confirmed I have a seat on his boat all summer

But the Sabres won't want Grossmann, period. They like Myers. The new GM isn't trading him for an inconsistent 22year old, a 29 year old limited guy and a3rd rounder or AHL tweener forward

He's very boom or bust. I would take a shot on him if they get Embiid with their first pick.

I'm warming to Parker a bit. He's going to be a great offensive player. I worry about his defense though.

At the very least, it would take B Schenn and a first round pick. Grossmann would just be a throw in. No disrespect meant towards Grossmann. But he's a defensive defenseman, albeit a good one, with bad knees. Young talented defenseman are at a premium.
- MJL


You could be right...but I would not give them a 1st as well, those two components would have to be apart of a bigger package for a higher calibre #1 Dman

I think Gorssman could hold the fort so to speak while some of their younger players develop. They will be loaded with picks as we'll, so a young talented centre like Schenn may be something they would look at

Please no. If the Sixers pass on one of the big 3 for him, I'll be very upset.
