Bill Meltzer: Flyers "Rooting" for Wings & Hawks, Prospects, Alumni

Go Sens Go.

You too, Wild. Get yer poop together.

So right now, picks 15-18 are Edmonton(Pittsburgh's pick from Perron trade), Winnipeg, Vancouver and Nashville. If Montreal wins, Ottawa drops in at 16, pushing every one back a spot. Washington or the Isles will slot in next to Vancouver and if St Louis wins, the Wild would slot in after Winnipeg

Don't know what we will do with an NHL ready d man when we have all these overpaid blue liners on bad contracts that can't be moved. And as bare as the cupboard was on the d side a few years back, that's what the offensive side is starting to look like.

Not that drastic. The Flyers have several solid forward prospects in the system, they lack top end guys, but Laughton, Cousins, Leier and Straka give them a handful of guys who should be good bottom or middle six NHLers

Lindblom and NAK could be sleepers among the forward prospects too.

Yep. They're slowly rebuilding the system. Need more depth everywhere, including defense

all of a sudden hickey is a decent dman? from bust to 22 min a game? wtf

Cool I always root for the underdogs anyway

Some players just take more time to develop.

it was like yesterday with the FU center rocking...my arms hurt from clapping and that crowd was crazy

Thoughts on trading for Raanta or Lehner to be the backup next season? Raanta should be squeezed out by the cheaper Darling, and Lehner may be avialble if the Sens sign Hammond.

Maybe Chicago would take back their 2016 2nd-4th rounder in exchange for Raanta.

Yeah, it was awesome, then came Joey (frank)ing Kocur to ruin everything

It's pretty funny watching Carle and Coburn kill an offensive possession whenever the puck finds them.

Carle 0g 0a -4
Coburn 0g 0a -3

I like Minnesota and Detroit to hold on and pull it out. Not nearly as confident about the Sens. Also, I'm rooting for the Caps, mainly cause I think they have a better chance than the Isles do of upsetting the Rags.

Sadly, I'd still package AMac, L Schenn and Grossmann to get the 2 of them back.

Coburn really looks slow on Tampa

I'm rooting for whatever gives the Flyers better picks. Outside of that, I don't give a (frank)

I think his skating is alright. He's been ok at pinching in, obviously nothing happens when he does...but their finding out quickly his limitations.

Carle looks really bad

Here here.

Just bring on the draft already. The 1st round is taking far too long.

That Perron trade looks great for the Oilers now. Great work by Chiarelli!
