I have the 5 I think I'd consider the most at that spot but won't be upset if it's Crouse at all.

course/courturier has the potential to a pretty dominate line in a few years.

seems to come with a little more risk than other players, but he could very well end up to be one of the better players in the draft.

If the Flyers and Vinny can mutually terminate can they do so with a $2 million bonus each year left on his contract? I would the the players union would have an issue either way.

Trading down for more picks would be bold.

No. He's scheduled a couple bonuses, but if the deal is terminated, whatever left on the deal is erased

I like Boeser if he's there. If Beauvillier is there, he might be my favorite.

Hard to argue with Cooper's success, but how does that kid sit?

Sometimes I think coaches get stubborn. (see: Berube, Craig)

With some coaches, once a player gets in the doghouse, he never gets out. I wouldnt think Cooper would be that sort of coach, but I just don't get the reluctance to play Drouin.

I felt Cooper had a well deserved Jack Adams nomination last season but some of the Coaching decisions made, plus comments made in the media during these playoffs are head scratchers for me. He was a real baby during that Red Wings series and the way he allowed his team to sit back in Game 1 of a Stanley Cup Final, how do you allow this to happen against the Chicago Black Hawks?
