For me the better fit comes in that Patrick looks like a more dominant player on the puck at 5 on 5. We've lacked forwards that really dictate play in the offensive zone 5 on 5 for so long. Not that Nico won't help in that regard as well but yeah, I think Patrick really addresses that need in a big way.

Our entire roster is made up of guys who dictate play

Flyers were top 10 in possession, but one of the worst scoring teams in the league

I think that there is more to dictating play then possession numbers. If you watched last year's team and try to tell me that they dictated play in the O-zone at 5 on 5 then I really don't know what to say. They're not a team that makes anyone play their game. Won't argue that they need to learn how to finish their chances though.

Sounds like Berube will get promoted to an assistant coaching job in St Louis.

Only in Philadelphia would 3000 people pay money to hang out at an overpriced, overcrowded bar to celebrate one of their favorite teams intentionally losing for 4 years.

love it when this recruiter says they're free to talk any weekday from 8:30-4:30, and I get an email on Thursday at 5 about their interest. Then I call them Friday, no answer at 9 am and left a vm and an email, called back at 3:30, no answer, then don't get correspondence until yesterday at 2 pm, saying she'll call today at 2 pm, only to sit here at 2:45 and call her because she hasn't called me, and no one picks up

I'm tormented by Plind's assertion that the best pick in the draft will be whoever is taken #13 where the Flyers SHOULD have picked.

Tormented, sir. Tormented.

Not if Hextall trades back into the first round at 13!

But because logic, the Flyers will pick a different player (Rasmussen, because size) than Winnipeg would have, and he will be a huge bust.

You posted that you can't lose here. Uh yes you can. You can lose big time if you draft a player 2nd overall who never reaches his potential because of chronic injuries. You act like a top heralded pick has never failed as a player before.

So... You want to pass on Patrick and take Vilardi?

Their odds of getting 1 or 2 aren't even all that great this year from what I understand. Poor Sixers fans.

That's okay, once their top pick this year is injured prior to the start of the season, they can just intentionally throw another season to try again next year.

True. But we weren't having a sad draft lotto party.
