Yeah, I'd offer 14th overall and the 50th overall to EDM for 10th overall (and I'd try to get a mid rounder back as well).

That's if Farabee is on the board at 10. If there's a run on forwards early I'm not sure I make that move.

Without a 3rd...I want to make 3 picks in the top 3 rounds. I’m hoping Hexy stays put. Maybe a move down with #19 and then package 50 with whatever they pick they gain to move up in the 2nd. So they’d have #14, mid 20’s, and a pick around 40

SB Nation gave that pick a “C” because Santana is currently at first for another 2 seasons, his defense is supposedly average and Rhys Hoskins for some reason, not elaborated upon. Great analysis!

There’s a chance he ends up at 3b though he will probably end up at 1b.

Who did they want? Luke Heimlich?

Outside of Nick Senzel and Forrest Whitley, literally everyone else in the first round of Moniak's draft suck. And one is suspended for 40 more games.

Baseball drafts are a crap shoot. Rip on them for not scoring, not for missing in a notoriously random draft.

Moniak had a good first year of minor league ball. He took a step back last year but we are talking about a kid who’s a couple of years removed from his HS Graduation.

Imagine if the Stros picked Kris Bryant instead of Appel.

I don’t see many complaints for finding probably the best minor league pitcher in the league RN

They said they should’ve taken Brady Singer who slid all the way to 16 despite being a consensus top-5 pick for most of the lead up to the draft. They’ve got quite a few arms in the system so a big bat made sense, especially at 3rd if Franco doesn’t figure it out. I thought the pick was good.

He's also batting .350 or so in his last 10.

He's striking out wayyyy to much. He's got the raw talent to be a good player but he needs to figure out his approach

They’re doing alright for themselves. Stros White Sox and Yankees are like the Flyers/Lightning of the MLB right now

I can’t believe amac has 2 more years. it seems like forever ago when he was brought in

Stay the course with the goalies this year. Start hart in the echl let him work from the ground up. Humble him a bit.

Sign kovalchuk if possible.

Yeah not sure about that. Everything I have read about this kid screams that he knows himself and knows what it takes to be a pro. He'll be the Phantoms starter next year or at worst share time with Lyon.

Hopefully.

things I have read and heard, this kid seems to get it and embraces it. Excited to see him grow in Lehigh.

It truly sucks Morin is out until Jan or Feb at least.. Really could have seen Gudas being moved for a 3rd or late 2nd
- arichardson22


Morin was in line to replace Manning as the #6/7, not Gudas. You may want to dump the Flyers only veteran RHD for a pick, but there's no indication that Hextall does.

He doesn't need to be humbled, and top prospects don't belong in the ECHL.
