I loved the inclusion of Carlo in your earlier rankings
- PhillySportsGuy

I was a little surprised to see him there.

If today proved one thing it's how much Flyers hockey people here watch exclusively and how high their hopes are for some of our prospects.

It was expected but I really thought there would be more back and forth than there was. I wasn't expecting second best player in the league status after the kid's rookie season where he got very little fan fare around the league.

It's sort of a cool reaction from this thread where most of the time the grass is greener else where.

Was that the MacD trade?
- PhillySportsGuy


'Twas. Who knows who the Flyers would have selected, but this was the same Brandon Carlo who was rejected by Boston as the centerpiece for a Landeskog deal. Really makes you think! But we still have 3 more years to evaluate MacDonald, so maybe we will still come out ahead in the end.

After reading your comments about Ekblad and Chabot being in the Q still this ranking is a bit confusing. I dont know much about Carlo or Chychrun, but I would rank Provy above Chabot, Hanifin, and Ekblad atleast.

Ahhh, allow me to clear up your confusion.

I love Provorov, but I think people are a little nuts if they wouldn't trade him for Matthews with the Flyers wealth of young defensemen

Maybe but Carlo only became a top trade commodity when he played 25 games in the NHL. Do you think Landeskog will still be available by 2020?

Ahh makes sense now haha. Tough to tell sometimes.

In other news, the caps vs leafs series has been very good. Hoping the preds can close out the series asap.

"Yo. I was gonna say I was interes--" CLICK

"LISTEN. I WANT TO TRADE PROVOROV. And maybe some picks or something? I unno"
"Oh? For McDavid?"
"Yeah...what do you th--" CLICK

I would agree with you if the Flyers had a wealth of young NHL defenseman but they don't. They have a wealth of defensive prospects at this point other than Provorov and Gostisbehere. Even then I probably would hesitate based on what I think Provorov is going to be when all is said and done.

I don't get why people want the Capitals to win. They're our rivals. We hate them. Truly, I think they're above the Penguins now in dislike.

Toronto isn't really going anywhere, but they're fun to watch unlike the Capitals who have as much talent as anyone but choose to play a mucking game. The thought of the Capitals failing again in the 1st round, after going all-in and maybe for the last time, is just so much (frank)ing fun to imagine. The schadenfreude makes my nipples hard.
