Well, so far, Noel and the return for MCW have really paid huge dividends at the NBA level. It's not like they remained terrible after trading those players or anything.

Seriously, can we see them win a few (frank)ing games before proclaiming the Hinkie trades to be genius? None of the moves he made have translated to a lick of success at the NBA level, yet people just want to suck his Richard all day long.

Sorry was driving in traffic from work didn't get to reply back... Well 2 of Hinkie's great picks have yet to play an actual game, so I understand the frustration. I personally think this is the year where we start to see the transition to success. Not saying we are going to be a great team, or even make the playoffs, but we will certainly improve from what has been the norm. I wouldn't say Hinkie's moves were genius, but they were timely and deserve credit imo. Again, at the time when we traded MCW it seemed like the absolute dumbest move, but now he's a bench player for the Bucks while we have a great asset. Hasn't been the most enjoyable ride but it will soon (i hope)

Focus and resolve. He's intimidating them into awesome deals for the Flyers by being completely anti-social.

It'll work, I'm sure.

I want to get DeBrincat so he can ride Gudas around the ice like Diddy Kong.

Just feels like he's going to stay at 18, to me

Think he maybe uses some of the other picks to move up in the second, maybe even get back into the first late

At this point, id settle for a flood of fake rumors.

I don't care who we draft really. I will care in 5 years when he breaks into the league to replace Giroux.

I'm confident we'll like the pick because ob, jsaq and mono have all chosen 14 different players as their boys for 18

As I've said, I've one seen two of these kids play, Laine and Pulijarvi. I really liked Laine

I couldn't pretend to know anything more about these kids than what I've read
