I like Bogosian, but he really hasn't been that great of a player.

He's played 352 NHL games since 08 out of 458 total games. Has a 5.12m (for 6 more years) cap hit and hasn't scored over 30 points in a season.

No thank you on that guy. If he stays there I will see him play Oct 25th

Sanheim's D partner still available. Bob McKenzie says he's surprised he's still not picked up yet.

It really seems like the Flyers dock guys value if theyre from overseas. Is their international scouting that bad or do they just have some weird grudge?
- hereticpride


hopefully its another area that gets addressed, since they have missed on so many prospects, yet other teams seem to find really good talent in same countries.

Comfortability. They seem to know the North American players a lot better. Many of the guys running the show have connections to the CHL and USHL

I would like for them to look overseas more often. I understand the hesitation with Russians, but Swedes, Fins, Czechs are mostly reliable players.

2nd most 5v5 points among Q draft eligible players this year.

Only Ehlers had higher.

- Feanor



That's a positive. But a 5'11 guy in the Qc league under a point a game, it's hard to imagine him being a big point producer at the NHL level.

I would assume nhl potential is maybe 3rid line centre/rw and pker ?

Not sure it fits the mold of the team either. Gritty defensive minded players who are strong on the boards.... does he fit that?

Yeah, my initial reaction is a 3rd liner that will put up above average points.

Hes still a young guy. I'm glad their emphasizing forwards with two way games. 5 vs 5 scoring is great. They needed to draft a skilled wing

He played on a line with Mantha so take that with a grain of salt

He looks like Matt Read. Hopefully he turns out as good a him.

When Mantha leaves, he's going to see his ice-time shoot up. If he's already a producer at 5V5, imagine what his numbers will look like w/ more PP time (and being a year older).

Lammikko sounds like he would have been a nice pick for us. Big LW, strong on the boards.

#Flyers 2nd round pick, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, has Phil Lecavalier for agent. Phil’s brother Vinny plays for @NHLFlyers (at least for now)

Both picks have connections to the Flyers

I like how TSN didn't get the memo and still shows Boston with pick 86.

Wait until Angelo Cataldi hears about this. This is a sure sign that the Flyers hate their fans.

If he turns out like him that would be fantastic. I would take an entire team full of Matt Reads
