I'm fairly certain that hitch will be fired mid season and berube will lead blues to their first cup. |

Flyers got a lot of praise for their draft from NHL executives that spoke to Craig Custance. He asked who had the best draft and one told him, "Philly. Hands down" They seemed to love Rubtsov, with another guy calling him a top ten pick |

The Blues already announced Mike Yeo will be the head coach in 17-18.
http://blues.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=885871
“We’re excited to have Mike Yeo join us an an associate coach for next season and to become the next head coach for the St. Louis Blues for three years after that,” Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong said. “For being 42 years old, he’s got a lot of experience. He’s won a Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh, he’s taken an American League team to the finals and you saw the good job he did in Minnesota in taking that team to the second round. What excites me is his experience, but with his age, he can really relate to today’s players and it’s an exciting day for our team.” |

Quite a few pretty good Flyers went undrafted. Tim Kerr probably heads the list. There is no "right" way to find talent. All avenues need to be explored and I think the Flyers have done a great job of this under both Holmgren and Hextall.
I also think they may have really struck gold with Rubtsov. If he was born in, say, Calgary, he goes top 10, no doubt.

Dave Poulin was also undrafted. He went to Sweden to prove himself after he graduated from Notre Dame.

I never knew we tried out Hoffman. Man we could use his goal scoring now! Oh well. |

Yup. A couple of summers ago, I did a best all-time undrafted Flyers list and there was a lot of good ones to choose among.

I had the chance to see Vladimir Kuznetsov play over Christmas break vs the Saint John Sea Dogs. He's a big boy but definitely has to work on his skating. |

Hate to say it but I am willing to bet Stamkos ends up in Toronto.
Local writer tweeting that he was at Maple Leaf head quarters yesterday with the
(Frank)ing mayor of Toronto helping make a sales pitch .
Leafs will be dam good up front . I am sure they will get to work on their D immediately. |

Hertl signs 2 year deal at 3mil a year.
That should help with the Schenn deal. |

Bill, isn't Salituro going to Columbus's dev camp? Doesn't mean they will sign him (like Myers and Calgary), but he'd have to make it to training camp still available, I suppose. |

Not really. Different contract stages. That's Hertl's bridge deal coming off he EL deal. Schenn is already past that and is closer to UFA status. |

That sounds wonderful, but I think it's a bad move by Wilson. Hertl is a gem and should be a part of their core. Sound good now but in 2 years time, he could be getting a big raise. Should've signed him long term for something that will seem cheap in a few years. |

We also tried out Trevor Van Riemsdyk. There wasn't room for him on our stacked defense, but he was able to squeeze into Chicago's joke of a defense. |

cuttin off your nose to spite your face...with regards to Hertl and more specifically to Schenn...id rather sign a longer deal that takes a player through his prime and then thank him for his services when he wants his next contract at 30 |
