tbf i think most of the people that were on team "uhhhh guys, we need a future #1 center?" have consistently been on team "make the pick"
- YuenglingJagr

Not worth it by a long shot. Stand pat. And hell to the no on Mike Smith or any other nonsense with Montreal.

Make the pick.


It should be a tee shirt.

Hopefully Hexy doesn't literally walk up and say "The Philadelphia Flyers are proud to select, the other guy."

The only trade I'm interested in with the #2 pick is 2+ for Liane.

Realistically, just settle down and take the guy NJ doesn't take. And (frank) the guy that NJ does take.

This. EXACTLY this.

Quoting Bill: 'For example, a team such as the Colorado Avalanche could have the elements it would take -- a player such as Gabriel Landeskog or Matt Duchene, the 4th overall pick in 2017 and the chance for a first-round pick swap in 2018 to be an enticing option -- to make such an offer.'

Wait so I'm reading everyone right, you would not make this deal? You do understand Colorado could very well get the #1 overall next year and then have to swap?

Viladari, Landeskog or Duchene and a top 4 (most likely) in 2018

For

Hiech/Pat and a 13th-ish in 2018

I get the need for a #1 C. But don't you have a greater chance of that with this deal plus get a good young player?

I absolutely would not take that deal.

AMac + 2nd for Mike Smith

Haha EK with the mention of "heard late in the season Pekka to Philly".

He was reading my nonsense.

What is Smith's contract situation?

Bill is saying that as if it is the asking price. I'm not convinced Colorado would make that deal and neither would I.

This is the only deal I would be remotely interested in, and i can promise you Colorado would hang up immediately.

To COL: 2nd overall

To PHI: 4th overall, Rantanen, Compher, 2018 1st(no lottery protection)

This happens every year. Fools just trying to get some hype built up around the draft. Every prospect is the next messiah and everyone is trading up.

2 years at 5.67 with a NTC

I'd do it. Smith only has 2 years left and would be a nice bridge to the kids.

No way Colorado does that...unless Sakic is TRYING to get fired

You want Colorado to give up Rantanen and next year's first to move up two spots?

You really don't want to trade that pick! Fair enough. I think we are overrating the pick but hey, to each their own I guess.

I think Arizona would rather have one or more of our surplus forwards than the 44th overall pick.

Let's not forget that i broke the rumor of NJ and Montreal talking on here yesterday.

EK is just riding my coattails
- Mordecai

All it does is for the millionth time confirm how spot on Ek is with the rumors. It turned out to be nothing and Patrick was in Montreal to meet with sponsors. He saw the fake news tweet and let his imagination take him and his readers away on a journey to Bullpoopville.

i dont know what is real anymore

lol - just commenting for relevancy, but


- YuenglingJagr[releases mock draft]
man, (frank) craig button!
[compliments flyers new assistant coach]
love craig button!

Remember when Craig Button had the Flyers picking Samuel Morin at #11 and a number of people on this board lost their minds and said he was full of poop, that he was just going by the kinds of things the Flyers had done in the past and he didnt realize that things werent like that anymore around here?

Let's come back to Earth shall we?
