I agree. If I'm at 8, and Hamilton is there, he's probably my guy. Unless Strome is there.
- Jsaquella

If Strome is there....absolutely. But I don't see the Isles passing on him. I hope I'm wrong.

sorry if I'm leight w/ this:

“@andystrickland: The Flyers told Mike Richards they were trading him in part to change the culture of the team #flyers”
- isaiah520

Figures as much.. it was time for a culture change in the flyers dressing room

If Murphy were even two inches taller, he could have been a candidate to go first overall. There's risk in picking him, but major offensive D upside. I wouldn't be upset if the Flyers kept the 8 and rolled the dice on him.
- bmeltzer

Yea, his skill set is reminiscent of a Doughty type of player. Just needs a few more inches, but we've seen kids even on the blueline succeed in the new NHL with very little size. I really like him.

TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE HAMILTON !!!!!!

How would you know?

Odd. I think Leafs fans need to start seriously questioning some of Burke's moves.

I haven't been a fan of his acquisitions whether it be Phaneuf, Komisarek, or Kessel.
- LeachHextall27

Me, either. So far his best move was rolling the dice on Clarke MacArthur

Carle is very solid in his own zone. He needs to limit his turnovers, certainly, but he's a solid, young defenseman who can contribute at both ends of the ice. You're wrong about him, like most people on these boards.
- LeachHextall27

He had a very bad playoffs, looked shell shocked out there.
So did most of the team.

Maybe the cap savings from yesterday is a way to keep both Coburn and Carle longer term. That would be a smart move, imo.

JML had 157 blocks. 60 hits. 36 GVA, 32 TKA, 67 Missed shots. 6 goals with a 3.7 shooting %. Only -9 on a very bad Colorado team.
Carle had 157 blocks. 50 hits. 59 GVA, 33 TKA, 55 Missed shots? I was thinking 90. had an amazing 0.9 shooting %. And Caarle folds under pressure a lot, and gives the puck away. I think JML is better IMO.

If he's the guy, not only will it piss off every Boston fan I know, it'd be interesting to see if he's rushed

Bill, why is everything so quiet... You know something... I know you know something... Give us a hint.

I don't think they're due for big raises.

Plus, the cap will increase again next season according to reports.

i am praying they move up and get the 3 pick. i really like everything i read about landeskog.

my guess is they pick one of hamilton or siemens. not ranked that low but they are 3rd and 4th ranked dmen.

Same guy who said that the Flyers were going to trade Carter says teams burning phone lines up asking about Bob

the trades will be announced when the drafting actually starts?

Maybe the ghost of Mike Milbury will ooze into Snow's body tonight.

bob for the 2nd versteeg and the 8th for the 3rd. draft larssen and landeskog

this will make me very sad if they trade him, but you gotta give to get I guess

Everyone is waiting to see what Oilers do. If they keep the 1st pick, they likely take Nugent-Hopkins, and then we'll see who wants Larsson or Landeskog the most. Teams that want one of those two might not want RNH because he's small.

Snow always make the draft interesting.

- FLYERSROCK!

Carle positions himself a lot better than Liles in his own zone, and is a more consistent player as a result. Both are good outlet passers, and while Carle had a significant amount of turnovers, I believe he led the league in 5 on 5 points amongst defenseman this season. He's also younger and has a better cap hit.

Give me Matt.

- Jsaquella

they really have their sights on him, huh? couple mocks i looked at had him going there..

Snow has made some wacky draft moves himself, not at Milbury levels but anything is possible with him too

this will make me very sad if they trade him, but you gotta give to get I guess
- Marc D

I concur. I want to keep Bob for now unless he helps us move up in the draft.
