Somebody's gonna laugh at me, but I say no

Even if Schenn's an average player, you can't trade Morin's upside -- he might be the Top 3 defenseman they just can't find, Sanheim might be another, and even if they aren't, then maybe the 2015 or 2016 is

This franchise cannot move forward without finding three Top 4 defenseman. They have to keep shooting bullets at it until they find them

I'm not too sure that package gets it done, but I'd do it.

Your rationale is sound, and I'm not laughing, but as Jsaq said...this is McDavid we're talkin about here

Not for me! Trolley down to 13th and Market, walk a few blocks to the Greyhound Terminal on I think like 11th and Arch or some poop....BOOM bus to Wildwood where I can end up walking to my place

If I had the top pick, it's either McDavid or Eichel. The biggest reason I consider that deal is because there isn't anyone in that stratosphere in 2016.

He's a beast, he's looked good & shown growing pains in what I've watched so far in checking out others on that team.

Understood; I totally understand the logic on that.

But man, this defense -- Lord help me, this defense. They just need to fix it, once and for all. They're scoring enough. But they have to get this defense fixed

Lucky you. Train to AC from 30th street takes almost 2 hours. They call it the "high speed line"

I know, but for the sure thing shot at one of those two, it's worth it. Even if, maybe especially if, the Flyers miss the playoffs this season, they will almost certainly be a bit better next season, if only because they will have more cap flexibility.

If I can trade the 12th pick in 2015 an the 19th pick in 2016 for the top pick and get one of those two, plus Schenn & Morin, I'm strongly considering it.

How about this one?

If the flyers get the first pick in this year's draft would you trade Voracek and B Schenn for the second pick, their second round pick and a good prospect?

The biggest issue to get down here is when it's busy. I can jump in the car an be in Philly in 90 minutes, and it's not a very taxing drive, unless there's a lot of traffic.

Understood; it's not wrong. If the kid becomes a generational guy, certainly, I'd have egg on my face

But I just so firmly believe in the value of making picks if you know what the hell you're doing. The Flyers have traditionally just killed it in the first round. They just do -- even now, Laughton looks like he might be stronger than most pundits thought. Morin came out of nowhere and if it were up to me, he'd be playing for the Flyers tomorrow on his nine-game tryout

Haven't seen Sanheim, but it sounds like he's got all the tools

I just believe in what they've been doing for the last, what...20-ish years now, starting with Boucher in 1995? Not perfect, but no one is...but they're pretty damn good at it.

They just need more than one player, and it needs to be defense, to me -- though the thought of Giroux or a generational type player getting to go against second-pairs makes my head spin
