you remind of the Entourage trailer, where they get on the yacht and Drama tells everybody to stay. Then turns to one guy and says, "not you, you can go"

Seabrook always makes something happen offensively when they need it most. I knew that was going in the moment the puck landed on his stick. Wow!

Am I the only one who thinks Stamkos could be one of the greatest players to be a non-factor when it counts?

Don't think we have 3 original 1sts, which is what you need. Probably wrong though.

The Flyers hold all their own picks from 2016-2018, plus Chicago's 2016 2nd rounder

all picks must be originals. I don't think dougie hamilton today is worth that much to anyone. You're banking on potential. He's a great young d man but that money is for a bonafide top 2. He'd be making more than guys like mcdonaugh keith etc. The thing is you don't want him to get a bridge contract than suddenly be worth 8+9+ million like subban got or weber. I think they deal one or 2 of seidenberg chara lucic and have plenty of space and settle around 5 years 5.5 million

I guess they should watch some more, I think he's a bit more than just a big grinder.

strong 2 way player I just don't see many pretty goals although he makes nice passes and skates well. I personally believe zacha has the highest upside at 7 for offensive minded players see a better rick Nash potential. Crouse may score over 20 but could easily rack up 30 40 assists in my opinion.

To comments about provorov kids just a hockey sense and always sniffing out and reading plays which translates very well to nhl. When you talk about nhl readiness I think that's a top factor. Ie why i think morin needs another year to see pro hockey from the ahl. Someone mentioned his linemates pilon. Love the guy think he's well worth a late first early 2nd. Could turn into an absolute steal.

Not saying I'd do it, just saying the Flyers could if they wanted, since they own all their own picks
