The only concern I have with Rantanen is his skating. My top 10 is:

McDavid
Eichel
Strome
Marner
Hanifin
Provorov
Barzal
Werenski
Crouse
Rantanen

Obviously, we have no shot at the first two, however I'd be pretty happy with any of the other 8.

It's going to be Meier.

Live with it. Love it.

Umberger, Rinaldo?

Everything?

What about Rinaldo?

I said the same thing yesterday or the day before. Minus the hartnell trade but I can see why he did it.

Rinaldo was stupid, but it's not like he signed him to 2mil a year.

He's Rinaldo. Has a two year extension. Not like.

I can't even see why he did it. I heard what he said. Made zero sense to me the day I heard it and makes even less now.

About hartnell right? I think the main point was a year less of salary right?

Solid list. I've got:

McDavid
Eichel
Strome
Hanifin
Marner
Provorov
Barzal
Rantanen
Crouse
Meier

I'm not totally sold on Werenski at 7-10. He is very good, but I'd take these guys over him. Him and Zacha would fall to 11 and 12 on my list.

For the Tampa pick, I'd gamble and reach for Beauvillier.

Edit - ^ not a huge gamble, but a reach in some rankings.

Meh, he can be sent down at any time with no cap penalty. Problem solved.

That was Hextall's main pt. I had the same reaction to that trade as I had when they traded JVR. "That's it? That's what you got?"

Or he could be a free agent and someone else's problem.

I thought that was Homer.

Either way, he can be completely buried in the AHL if need be.

That was Hexy's work, consumated in early September 2014.

man, the Flyers D is sure gonna look a LOT different than the past year or two.

- FlyerGuy

just wait for another year

i love it when people think our biggest issue is some random 4th liner

exactly. Thank you.

Yup, much ado bout nothing

Yeah rinaldo is the least of our worries honestly. Vinny & umberger I'd say are priorities as far as "problems" go. Getting rid of those two won't be easy, and it's something that has to be done before they make any significant progress forward.

He is the least of our worries. Still, it was a questionable signing.

Do we believe Del Zotto is still in their plans?

And I look at TB and watch their crazy passing and think there's one pair on the Flyers that can do that (G and Jake). Insanity.

I hope MDZ is in their plans but Hexy is going to have to pull out a miracle to make room for him. I heard CLB is looking for D.

I think Giroux's leadership should be the main focus. The guy screws around all the time and Pronger had to kick his ass one day.

MDZ was good this year, I'm happy for him that he was able to turn it around, I wouldn't be upset if we lost him though. He's kinda take it or leave it for me.

I wonder what we could get for trading his rights to CBJ.

why not try to trade schenn or grossman first?

Gus should play over Amac
