No doubt, but I B Schenn scores 20 goals and 25 assists, he could command something in the 4.5-5M range.

Then... trade bait.

B. Schenn is tricky. He seems to play well with Couturier and I like how he was playing but......... SOmetimes is so inconsistent and disappears for stretches.


I am ok signing him to the right deal but also not against moving him if you got a younger player with upside.

Yeah...thats pretty fair. Either that or he gets pressured into a bridge contract but id lean towards a longer term deal at a lower cap hit for now

Yup. Love Barney Miller. Inspector Luger also dead from the cast.

Not nearly as much as many people on here hate Umberger for being bad at his job.
- Feanor


I think he's the next McKenzie based on appearances alone. Pudgy with the silver swoop hair. His protege. Dress for the job you want after all.

That's pretty freakin' cool... although we can assume it took them a million takes to get some of these done perfectly on camera, lol.

I think $4 mil AAV is reasonable. I just have such issue with a long term contract with him. I might just prefer a bridge deal. I'm still not convinced he's a long term option.

If the Flyers are drafting 6-10th, who would you take if the draft was today?

Didn't see the game. Was Weal any good or is he weally just a borderline NHL/AHL player?

Need more sample.

Didn't look out of place. I would rather see him and Laughton away from Umberger. A legit line like Read - Laughton - Weal would probably give a better showing.

Kind of like when Couturier was finally given wingers with skill.

Juolevi, Nylander, DuBois, Keller, Jost would be the top 5 names that come to mind

I think there's a top 8 in my mind, then a different tier. Sort of. These aren't really in any order, just by tier.

Matthews, Laine, PJ
Tkachuk, Juolevi, Chychrun, Nylander, McLeod
Dubois, Keller, Sergachyev, Bellows, Jost, Gauthier

I think after 8, it drops a tier perhaps. But barely. So many people I'd get pumped about.

Unless they have a shot at Chychrun I think they are drafting a forward #1 this yr

Weal and Gudas appear to both use the same stupid looking stick I think. They look like silver toothpicks with black tape on the bottom. I can't stand them.

It would be great to see them get another pick in round1

Nylander and Bellows are both LW?

Seems like an obvious need and they may also be best available when they pick

I like Max Jones if they pick around 15.

Assuming Tkatchuk is gone? I think you go with Alex Nylander, Michael McLeod or Julien Gauthier. Truthfully I'd like to see them grab another first rounder...even if that means moving back and giving up a 2nd rounder. Preferably a trade for Streit, Del Zotto, or even Read. This draft has some depth and Max Jones looks like he's made to be in Black and Orange...think a better Lawson Crouse. Keiffer Bellows, Tyson Jost and Tyler Benson are all intriguing prospects that could help the Flyers out. I also wouldn't mind seeing them grab a right handed D man with one of their second rounders, Charles McAvoy would be an awesome addition to the blueline Hexy is building.
