4 of the top 5 picks in that draft were Flyers.

Think we can talk Owen Nolan out of retirement?

Nice!

I just haven't made a mistake lately!

But I'll keep it for reference in case I ever do.

He still haunts us.

Did that SchennBros dude get the 2 years suspension he feared...or something like that?

This place confuses me...

Maybe. The board has been void of team-crippling trade scenarios recently.

Late to the party and I don't care...

Have I told you lately how much I despise shootouts? Win or lose, they remain a horrible way to decide hockey games.

- Bill Meltzer

If last night's game doesn't serve as the straw that breaks the shootout camel's back, I don't know what does. It is an absolute joke that a fantastic hockey game, any hockey game, is settled by a breakaway contest. The league should be ashamed of itself.

Ok, legit right there.

Im waiting for a three way trade where the Flyers end up with Ekblad and Yakupov

C'mon. You'll never need it.

Just ask my Wife!

That might be more realistic. Out of that group of 4 how many do you think will eventually be NHL regulars?
- PLindbergh31

I think Morin will at least be a 6-7 guy just by virtue of his movement, size and disposition.

Ghost I can see landing anywhere between just slightly short of Duncan Keith to Danny Syvret.

Alt and Hagg... I'm not as confident about.

This would probably be a lot more useful !

Morin better be more then a 6-7 guy.

I think Alt is the "safest" bet out of them. I saw him play, in the preseason, which has to be taken into consideration, and he looked like he belonged. I couldn't figure out who he was, and then I found out and was a bit shocked. I think he'll compete for a spot next year.
- jmatchett383

Alt has played more hockey and is 3+ years older than both Hagg, and Morin. You would expect him to be more polished at this stage.

I think Morin is going to be hit, or miss. This early in his development I think the best sign is for a really big kid, he skates fairly well by all accounts I've seen.

I see Ghost as more of a Jack Johnson type. I don't think he'll ever be as complete as guy like Duncan Keith (even just short of him). I'd love to be wrong, but that's just how I see it.

I feel that he's a 6-7 guy right now.

I think Morin's floor is a little higher. He's big and has good speed for his size. He's not offensively gifted (yet), but he doesn't handle the puck like its a hand grenade.

I think his physical abilities will help him become an everyday defenseman. We'll see how much more he can develop.

I think Antoski dressed all 7 games of the 94 SCF

Alt may never be a top-4, but I feel he could challenge for a bottom-pair spot (or first call-up) next year. I only saw him once, but I liked what I saw.

I was actually pretty impressed with Ghosts defense when I watched his last few games. And his goaltending!

He'll have his hands full against Gaudreau

You've officially ruined Ghost for me forever... thanks.
- Tomahawk

Let me clarify: I see him as a smooth-skating player with incredible offensive talents who, while he won't be a -90 in his first 6 seasons, is not going to be a top-pair 2-way player.
