lol showing the progressive pot for the team-themed slot machines (which are conveniently located in the concourse areas of the arena)

Not terribly far off from the 50/50 raffle they already run at Flyers games!

Don't hold your breath on Vinny. He may not retire until early July.

It's do to a bonus being paid out. I think it gets paid July 2. If he retires before that he doesn't get I think 500k

Not a joke. Vinny is a due a bonus on July 1st. Why would he pass that up?

Umberger weeks away from a buyout is exciting.

Not interested in Tufte. Don't deny he has some incredible tools, but the one time I saw him he just felt very invisible. That seems to be the report on him too -- raw, inconsistent. It doesn't ease my find that he hasn't performed at any level except HS. Disappointing international record, and he didn't exactly blow the USHL away, though people say he was better in his second stint. Could he be some wildcard home run? Sure. But meh.

Not that I give a hoot what Bleacher Report says about anything.

Tufte is a project and I doubt the Flyers take him, but if he turns out as good as Bjugstad he'd be an excellent choice at 18.

I'd prefer Bellows, but he goes before 18 in a lot of mocks.

I keep thinking that we are going to get really lucky and draft Rubtsov. Id be pretty damn happy.

Almost as happy as I was last year when we took Provorov.

Side note:
Every year I do a "40 Draft Party" where everyone goes out and buys 2 40's. We then right down numbers 2 x the amount of people there and pick out of a hat.
After picking out of the hat you do the actual 40 draft. You are supposed to bring a good 40 and a terrible 40. Ultimately, you just hope you dont get 29 and 30th picks.

PP struggled because it is essentially Garbage. You take Giroux and Ghost out of the picture and you got nothing. System has Schenn playing Hartnell's previous job "sit there and wait for the one-time pass" Simmonds does the opposite of what he should do, instead of screening he stands beside the goalie and holds his hand and Voracek doesnt do much either. He either would fumble a pass, give it back to Ghost, miss the net or shoot at the goalies chest. His shooting % was brutal.

Simmonds was 6th in the NHL last season in PP goals. He was 5th in 14/15, and 3rd in the NHL in PP goals in 13/14. That amounts to nothing I guess.
