This video might be the coolest thing I have ever seen... Hockey is one hell of a sport!

I didn't know Jagr had a son.

Seriously, this dude is awesome.

What does this even mean? Ghost has years of different levels of professional hockey ahead of Provorov.

As in one??? Or are we counting the 14/15 season where he played seven total games before tearing his ACL and missing the rest of the year?

Defensemen like Ghost and Gudas just can't fill the Luke Schenn sized hole in his heart.

I do understand that, if one or both of Sanheim and Myers (2 most likely candidates) can bring most of what Ghost can and offer better defensive games that Ghost does become somewhat expendable. But there's nothing wrong with having multiple players who can provide offense from the back end, especially if you can allocate their minutes appropriately. Also, as excited as I am for those, they've yet to play 1 minute of NHL hockey as of yet.

Seems to work in Nashville.

Neither of those kids are small and both are dominant at lower levels. I understand what you're saying but this is the #2 overall pick, really good chance he makes the team.

Patrick serms like a lock to play in the NHL next season if healthy. Hirschier might start in the AHL.

I just want 6 Dmen that can all skate well and most of whom have good skills. An eventual D that is something like the following would be awesome.

Provorov-Myers
Sanheim-Gudas
Morin-Ghost

You've got Ghost & Sanheim on the 1st pp unit and the top pair on the 2nd. On the PK, all but Ghost can do the job. If this is the Flyers D in 18-19, I'll be thrilled.

Can they really all pan out this way? Call all the kids develop into playing regular shifts in the NHL?

I sure as hell hope so.

The track record with Provorov and Ghost shows a 2 for 2.

This is an exciting time to be a Flyers fan.

I think Hexy will get a good look at Mackinnon and Duchene working with G and package some assets to get one of them.

You do realize we have the 2nd overall pick, right? Why on Earth would Hextall pay what Sakic is looking for when we've got G, one of Patrick or Hischier, and Coots already?

In my opinion he won't. Little chance of that.

Not sure I understand this statement considering Ghost missed most of a season with an ACL injury?

Flyers now have almost 20 legitimate candidates for their forward roster. They need to lose, cut, waive or trade at least 6 of them. So who are they?

Here is my prediction.

Giroux
Voracek
Simmonds
Couturier
Schenn
Filppula
Konecny
Weal
Bellemare
Lindblom
Weise
Veccionne
#2 -Cut--WHL or AHL
Laughton
Raffl -expansion draft
Leier Cut-waived
Read Traded with salary retained
Lyubimov-KHL
Cousins -Cut-waived
- Baxter27

if #2 isnt on the team out of camp i might be done

- Crimsoninja

I dunno..

If the number 2 looks like he clearly doesnt belong in the NHL based on camp why would you want him on the team?

Plus his vision of the ice is set from the back end. There's more time and space inherently built into rushing the puck from the back.

His weaknesses on D are over played in my opinion.

I wish someone would cross check Pierre every time he says a players full name

Damn that was an impressive pass and a better roof shot.
