with that extra first you can get another forward and a D or two D guys...puts us in a better position for the future.

If I got that first, I hold onto it and make two picks in June.

I'd be more interested in that, but I wouldn't be jumping through hoops.
- Jsaquella

well jvr has not even shown a sign of the player he was in the playoffs last year he has like taken a step back this year instead of a step foward

If they trade Voracek for Gunnarsson or Franson I will be pissed.
- Jsaquella

pissed is not even close to the right word.

No Frank Seravalli said that the Flyers didn't know his personality
- Jsaquella

The flyers didn't know about Frank's personality.
Oh the horror of it all, say it isn't so!

Poor Frank must be humangously disappointed.

I would sooner go by what espn magazine knows about Hockey than Frank S

most scouts are regional scouts. they'll go to games in their region. big (frank) made too big of a deal about this....he's enamored with sources and trying to break news.

The only thing is, Don Luce is not a Regional Scout. He's the Director of Pro Player development. When a guy like that goes somewhere, there's a purpose in mind.

yeah i agree id go for a forward and a d guy.

does he work exclusive for the flyers?

JVR absolutely showed signs of being the player he showed he could be in the playoffs, before he got injured this year.

I'm picturing him entering crowded restaurants through the back kitchen entrance, a la Goodfellas.

And that's a huge number for a 4th line player. Especially when he's 19 years old.
- MJL

When I look at those two trades in the summer, I thought the #8 pick was gonna be decent.. never did I think it would end up being the best part of either trade.. Thats what I am thinking right now.

The Hradek comparison (like Jordan and Eric Staal combined) reallly keeps me smiling

does he work exclusive for the flyers?
- mydoglicks

Yes, he does. He's a member of the Flyers Management staff.

yes, to see his friends and family in the area

- Jsaquella

Or try to swing both picks in a deal to move up..

Yes, he does. He's a member of the Flyers Management staff.
- MJL

being pro development, would that mean he would be scouting ayounger player versus a vet or someone who has beeen in the league awhile?

lol wut
- OrangeBlack27

He also lives in the area, which might be why he was at three Leafs games recently.

There must be a Flyers-Detroit deal about to go down. Mark Howe has been extensively scouting the Flyers -- in the press box for virtually every home game for the last 10 years. Howie is nothing if not thorough. Only problem is -- the Flyers keep changing their roster .

- griouxmvp2012

So have Luke Schenn and Cody Franson.

Right now, JvR has more goals than Alexander Semin, Marty St Louis and Eric Staal.

If they trade Voracek for Gunnarsson or Franson I will be pissed.
- Jsaquella

Eff that.

If they trade Voracek period, I'll strangle Homer...
