I aint a fan of the Flyers, being from NJ and all..

BUT, Morin, Konecny, Provorov, Ghost... Damn they are gonna have a good team and it'll be exciting to watch for sure. Def building from the back WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY, imo.

Certainly worked for Lombardi, and his protege is Hexy. I think the majority of Philly fans are giving Hextall proper rope because of this. We can see the results. The team may not be much better, but man that prospect pool went from an absolute joke to quite formidable.

Started with defense (smart) because it takes longer for them to mature, and then went all out on offense this year with a few goalies thrown into the mix. The trade down in order to add LaBerge in addition to still snagging Rubtsov was gutsy, but well worth the potential upside. Most analysts loved his savvy, there.

I hate to sound like a homer as I try to keep an even head about my team's moves, but so far I'm on board. Hextall has earned my trust and patience.

That sort of projection isn't even in the same universe of the reality of today's NHL, unless one is talking about the EA Sports version.


If I could take this sentence out and buy it a drink, I would.

I get that and cant disagree, not the point though.

How do you know he wasn't interested? Maybe he was and the Flyers told him to take that weak crap somewhere else.

Leave him alone, it's been a tough few months for him and Nasvhille. Vesey rejected their love, the heart and soul of the team in Shea Weber got traded, and the tv show Nashville got cancelled by ABC.

Meltzer's read on Vessey is simple and clearly the most sane accounting of the situation I have seen. I think he will be really good, a good addition to whatever team he chooses. Only 41 players scored 60 points last year. 8 teams did not have a 60 point scorer. If he hits 50 points that would be a great year. The fact that this is dragging on for so long causes the buildup and makes it seem like he is going be a Stamkos, Crosby, Kane, or Ovechkin from the first day he steps on the ice. I do not think so. Well done Bill!

If Vesey thought Philly and Detroit were to far from home there is no way he's flying across a (frank)ing big boy ocean to play hockey.

I wonder if he will be able to do west coast road trips since it is so far from home.

Not sure, but I met Benedict Cumberbatch once, shook his hand, and was a little itchy about 10 minutes later.
