Can we skip this boring playoff poop and go straight to the drafts?

Bill, the chatter on the Devils blog is that they are leaning towards Nico.
Have YOU heard anything?
Is this all pre draft BS?
Who would YOU prefer the Flyers take? All things falling right.

Ray Shero is a GM, like Hextall, who tips his hand about nothing. So any chatter comes from things such as Craig Button projecting the Devils take Hischier.

I am fine with either player, less comfortable with Vilardi et al. But if I had the choice of either Patrick or Hischier, I'd take Patrick.

We're not allowed to blame luck. We must trade him now. Easily replaceable.

Puck luck doesn't exist.

Aren't Swiss from Switzerland and Sweden has Sweeds?

Sweden has Swedes.

Article on BSH that backs up pretty much everything I have said (on both of my accounts) about Ghost this season

summed up pretty well by this small snippet:

Give up on him and trade him just like sharp and justin williams see how much those guys continued to suck after tough early years.

Sweden has Swedes.

Thanks for spell check.
So why is it written that Nico is coming from Swiss league. Isn't it a Swedish league not Swiss.

Agree, they have to take one of the top two. Patrick falling would be a win for sure.

No. SC Bern is located in Bern, Switzerland. SC Bern plays in the Swiss League A.

Nico Hischier is from Naters, Switzerland

He is Swiss, played in the Swiss league. Not from Sweden. Sorry about spell check.

I would take Patrick as well.

The more I think about it the more I can see the Devil's taking Nico. I think he's a better fit for them and doesn't have the injury history. Devils scored the 3rd fewest goals last year. Going for the guy with more offensive skill just makes sense.

This. Don't see the need or the rush.

The rush is my big point. 75% of our future isn't in the nhl yet. I'd rather wait to see what these players become not bank on potential before I make any type of trade.

Wooooooooo

Wooooooooo

old timers: my mom just told me someone can "spit nickels" after telling me a story about being mad at someone for doing something she didnt agree with

upon googling "spit nickels" it is in reference to "doing something believed to be impossible"

my question to you....have you heard or used this phrase in either way?

Don't trade Ghost
- PhillySportsGuy

This team needs more play makers!

This team needs more skill!

This team needs more top end talent!

LETS TRADE GHOST!!!

An Oshawa Generals bus just drove past me in Cherry Hill.

In fairness, it was in reference to trading for someone that checks all three boxes, but I agree that the trade idea is
