Lauzon has a bright future too. Boston prospect I think


Provorov never looks like he's out of gas. He has true #1 potential

- Just5

Provorov has been great in the WHL all season. Great player!! I'm hoping I can get to the game tomorrow Brandon vs London to watch Marner. Should be a good one

Myers off for a ticky tac cross check.

That was a BS call. Up and down period, in that order for him and RN. Nothing bad, just some extended cycles against. Need to get the offense going again. He was flying on that 2 on 1 goal though. Didn't feel like he spent much time in the o zone.

Philly signing Philippe Myers has been a heist. 6-5 defenders who can skate & move puck don't grow on trees.................Or do they?

Hasn't been his best game. Team looks like crap after that 2-0 lead too. Not surprising given he's still skinny, but I think Phil could work on his conditioning and strength. Looks tired on a lot of these def cycles.

You can tell playing on back to back nights after a long layoff has hurt them tonight.

Ya Lauzon looked good as well... I was actually thinking Myers and Provorov could be a good combo on the future Flyer blueline. A little bit of everything between the two of them. Provorov just looks really polished. I'd love to see philly pick up another right handed D man a little later in the draft. Jacob Cederholm with one of their thirds would be good as he is a defensive minded D man with some leadership ability. Last year I was hoping they'd scoop Ethan Bear.

all i'm going to say about the warriors game tonight is the refs were god awful if you thought the refs were biased against the flyers this is a whole new level and if draymond green is going to play stupid play full stupid and try to injure westbrook or durant

As far as prospects go we really have an embarrassment of riches on the back end. Obviously they're still prospects and it's not likely all will pan out but we really are organizationally in good shape on D.

I would love to see Hextall acquire another mid to late first and come out of the 1st round with two forwards.

He certainly has put the team in the best position to do that with two 2nd and two 3rd round picks to use. I was thinking the same....

Just finished the third period of the Huskies game. Myers was the best skater on the ice that period. Best period of tourney so far. He was everywhere, doing everything in every zone, and the coach just kept throwing him out there. He was literally skating circles around the other team creating chances. And boy can he skate.

He really is at his best when he takes control offensively -- he shouldn't just be a defensive d man who plays in the background...he has so much more to offer. This is what I remember seeing a few months ago that really impressed me. It's why I see more potential in that regard (off) than someone like Coby. He's raw...but damn. Watch the third if you can, peoples.

Who would play for them? They were all injured. Besides Schenn I guess. I think PEB is the only Flyer in the WHC.

He is a 100% legit prospect with a lot of raw potential. Consensus seems to be he'd be a top 25 pick this draft had we not signed him. For a 19 yo that is not common. I'm a big fan of his game defensively and offensively. He just needs to bulk up and replicate this year.

He went to Calgary's rookie camp, didn't get signed. Got offers from 6 teams, I believe, to come to training camp. He said the Flyers wanted him the most. He has made clear why.

So he's the consolation prize for not getting Hyka?
