Lol guys, dont get too excited about that 45th overall pick. Likely going to Ana for Ryan+ 6th.
I disagree with the indecision not to sign him, but it is what it is. Id rather have Bobby Ryan, and one of Dumba, Reinhart or Trouba than JVR, Read/Jake, 20th overall and Hyka.

I had a dream last night the Jake Voracek was traded to the Canes, i believe this should be labeled an (e3).

nothing, per se, just not at 2. wouldn't be the best player available, imo.

really hope someone who writes about the nhl for a living had some grasp of the offseason cap.

I don't think that tweet means he doesn't. It isn't like you have room for all the disclaimers in 140 characters.

Look, i love Read. But if were getting back Ryan, i think i could accept him getting traded. Ryan would be amazing with G.

that's the problem. don't draft by need. take the best player available. especially that high. why would you leave a potential franchise forward just sitting there to take a fringe-first/good second-pair dman who may contribute a little sooner?

awfully misleading, imo. there's no such thing as LTIR in the summer. flyers have much less to spend than his tweet led on.
