I don't think he's good enough to play center in the NHL.
- johndewar

what oppurtunity has he been given to play center that makes you think that?

Anyone think the Flyers should try to pick up Daniel "Darth" Vlader in the 3rd/4th? 6'5" goalie from Czech Republic.

Top 10, probably not, but I could see Dallas swapping #12 for both Schenns and Chicago's 2nd

Maybe with the Chicago 2nd included.

I'd rather not part with Brayden to move up though. I'd much rather wait until around 18-22 range in hopes of someone dropping then use some picks to move up. They have a pair of 2nd rounders next year and 3 thirds this year I believe.

Hakstol has never coached at the NHL level, and he's making the same salary as coaches like Michel Therrien, Alain Vigneault, and Dave Tippett...

Ummmm. Why?

You would think Hakstol would have been able to turn the UND facilities, and all the stud players he coached into a few championships.

Here is a valid question... If Hakstol couldn't win a championship at the collegiate level, what makes anyone think he can win one at the NHL level?

The Flyers have 2 x 3rds this year. Tampa's and San Jose's. We traded ours in the Mason deal.

Great trade. A 3rd round pick to add Mason and relieve ourselves of Mr. 5-Hole.

Whether I'd move Brayden or not would depend on who is still on the board at 12.

I'm still wondering how the UND facilities help to make UND a superior college team.

It's because if you ask questions about Hakstol, you get "the stare". And who wants that? Nobody, that's who.

Hakstol was hired more than 3 weeks ago. Why haven't we won the Cup yet?
