personally I'd like to have a defense that includes Provorov Gudas Ghost Morin Sanheim and Myers.

And Friedman and, as a sleeper type, Hogberg are lurking too as guys with upside. Friedman could really surprise as a pro, and he's getting close.

one can hope. i'm don't get the wanting to trade Ghost a season after people praised him just because of second season struggles and the hope of other prospects. keep building the defense

I don't watch the AHL.

What NHL'er in Sanheim comparable to?

Comparables suck

But

Kevin Shattenkirk comes to mind

Acknowledge my preposterous Myers and Ghost comparison
- Mononoke


I've only seen Myers play like 4 times, so I can't really make a good case for or against

I heard it only takes 5 viewings by a professional scout to come to a firm conclusion about a prospect.

I like to take one thank you. No need to waste time.

Laughton is doomed, and Akeson was held back from being an all star.

Not much there.

I don't envy any reporter. The job is an absolute joke with what it has turned into. Tabloid nonsense to try and attract easy views. Baiting people with controversy.

I read it earlier, or skimmed it in 30 seconds is more like it. It's kind of an awesome article. He includes that Hextall called out his captain, Giroux, this week because ripping Giroux as a leader always works for the beats when the team loses.....without a quote, which means he didn't at all and probably said something generic about everyone being better when Panotch gave him a leading question. Then he writes a whole article talking about how Hexy needs to make a trade, despite Hextall not being any more clear about not panicking and making trades. And Panotch doesn't even include any trade possibilities. It's literally just, "Trade. Flyers need."

All kidding aside, I'm thinking JayBo with better offensive skills. His build and skating ability is very similar.

I like Hex but he should have called out that bottom 6 he's done jack poop to address. Where is the secondary help? G has carried them for years, I'm not blaming him. He's been ridden hard and isn't the same dude. That's okay to admit.

I think Bo works in journalism but I could be wrong.

Does anyone even believe the media anymore? Every story is an opinion piece with expert analysis to tell us how to think.

I like Bill's because there isn't an over abundance of emotion, just facts. That's a compliment.

With perhaps more of a winning ability.

St Louis is going to waste the best years of all their guys under Hitch.

Oh it happened, and Hextall was right to call out Giroux. His effort defensively in the Buffalo game was unacceptable. Hextall spoke about Giroux specifically. The generic comment was about everyone else.
The rest I agree with. Hextall is not going to bail on his plan.

http://www.philly.com/phi...re_hunger_around_net.html

Giroux "is not playing the way he can play," Hextall said. "He needs to be better . . . but we have a lot of guys who need to play better."

She doesn't but she'd be flattered that you think so.
