so 5 years 20 mil?

that would be more better

Geez I really hate Tanner, him and his stupid fancy stats "proving" everything.

McDavid snubbed coming in 3rd? Best player in the NHL? Takes a hell of a lot more than a measly 48 pts in 45 games to even open that debate. Better than Crosby? WOW. McJeebus needs to start racking up 90+ point seasons and translating them into wins before that conversation even starts.

I think you are better off using the other guys he "proves" are good with fancy stats as examples...because McDavid really is that good

id say yak with G and Simmonds, i like keeping schenn and coots together, and adding voracek for bonafide winger for coots. i think G and simmer and Voracek and Coots are better combinations than G and Voracek and Coots and Simmer, although, you really cant go wrong either way. i think with this as a top 6, while adding a piece or two to better improve the bottom 6, u move into that 100 point mark and possibly looking at a division playoff berth rather than a wild card berth.

All good points. All would get a whole lot more interesting too if Konecny does happen to make it out of camp.

what are your thoughts on trading/keeping schenn?
- YuenglingJagr

Schenn to me is a part of the Flyers core. He's young and coming into his prime.

People seriously want to trade for Yak. Confusing times.

Silly season. Don't believe the hype.

First rounders are probably really good
Second rounders - some are good, some are okay
Third - seventh rounders - good for them to get drafted but you'll probably never hear their names again so listen closely

This describes my pre-draft research quite well.

I think Hextall sees it this way too.

I doubt he does, especially if hexy finds 30 ish goals in fa or via trade. Propy is the only one who has a realistic shot to make it this season. 2 yrs from now is when I think the flood gates open

Which is why you can trade a 2nd plus picks for yak and its probably worth it lol

If Morin still doesn't make it this year I'm going to start getting worried. Not "now or never" worried but he has to make the jump at some point.

Never said McDavid is not good, best in NHL...not even close right now. Potential to be the best....you bet. Great thing about potential....everyone has it.

Morin will be in orange and black this season at some point but I lean more towards injury call up or replace a traded vet than starting the season with the club.

- hereticpride

He only had one pro season so far and is only 20 years old, so hes still on track. I think if he takes a step back this yr, and doesnt make the team in 2 yrs or is not the first guy called up then I think you start to worry.

Most d take a few yrs to develop, remember Ghost is 23 already.

Nah....Morin turns 21 next month. That's young. If he sits in the AHL for another year (with, maybe, an injury call up or two), I'm cool with that.

I just want to see him come up, and next time the opposition is whacking away at Mason after he freezes the puck, he goes out and just destroys someone.

It will be worth the penalty to send the message.

Schenn to me is like RJ Umberger back in 2008. Good player, probably has some good seasons ahead... but core player? Nah.

(I've been one of the staunchest Schenn supporters on this thread for years too, btw)

Time to sell high on him, IMO.

Unless I missed the meme convention meetings and they said its ok to use them out of context....what?

that's kind of a good analogy.

I'm ok with moving Schenn, or pretty much anyone else, it all depends on what's coming back.
