Pretty damn sad when Sutter is your 2nd most effective forward out of your top 4 paid guys.
- Nucker101

Flyers top four paid forwards...Lehtera was the price paid for getting TWO first round picks and drafting Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee.

Claude Giroux RW 8,275,000 (102 points)

Jakub Voracek RW 8,250,000 (85 points)

Jori Lehtera C 4,700,000

Sean Couturier C 4,333,333 (76 points)

Yes of course I'm just stating why he's in their top four paid guys.

Sutter as a playmaker is what kryptonite is to Superman or Dolly Parton is Twiggy’s twin sister.

One player nobody mentions much is Marky


If he can have a stellar season building on last year he becomes a big asset. A big IF but begs the Q trade him for a good pick for 2019 or keep to allow Demko to fit in without being tossed into the frying pan?
I’d trade him out personally if he fetches a 2nd or keep if nobody is urgent for him. A package to get a good prospect works. D or C is all ever care to acquire. Wingers are not important to me when the middle is not good to great.

The gangs all here.

Thanks Carol . I heard Benning on SN the other morning and he was talking about Utica saying how exciting they would be this year. He said the addition of Lind Gadjovich and Juiloevi should help the lineup. As he just announced OJs name he quickly back tracked saying providing he does not make the team .

He said if young players om Utica are ready they would trade vets for assets at TDL .

Tanev wasn't traded so I suspect we will go with this serviceable Dcore until TDL.

He also mentioned OJ surgery was a minor procedure and he will be fully ready at camp.

We picked up 2 nice Dmen at the draft , we have OJ almost ready , Chatfield Sautner and Brisebois on the farm , so I understand not going after a Dman

We need a center and some grit and then I think we are done for this year.

I think I'd rather see Hughes mature a little more. I think my 14 year old is bigger than him, and he's not a big 14 year old. Now granted if his skill is as good as they say then it won't really matter. I just hate the idea of exposing all the best prospects to all that losing, it can be very hard on young players.

Also, make a conditional trade with Dallas. The Canucks take Spezza off of their hands, to free up cap space, and the price to do that would either be Ty Dellandrea or their first next year and the Canucks give them some player(s) off of Utica not named Demko. The conditional part would be they will need the cap space IF they can sign Tavares.

How did you kid do playing against men last season? How did he do out on the ice against players like McDavid?

Hughes played against men the last year and played against the worlds top hockey players at the Worlds. He was on the ice for 1 goal and it was a clunker that had nothing to do with him...

If the kid shows he can play... play him. He's incredibly mature for an 18 year old.

Disagree 100% the hockey is crappy in Utica. I don’t think you watch Utica or the AHL much at all.
- Nighthawk


Better for development for sure.

Hughes needs to play a lot... not once a week and sit the rest in class and the weight room. College is good... AHL better for him.

Not that Lefty's necessarily wrong. He's just not that right because of his dislike for Benning.

We don't have anything anywhere near the counter poster on his theme either. Think, can we find a person who pushes the opposite extreme? Do we hear "Benning is one of the best GM's", "Canuck's are already contender's for years", "all team's rebuilds suck except ours". So I don't understand the necessity to go to such lengths to stretch to the extremes so often. Drama peddler. Old world culture rubbing off on him at work(don't try and picture that).

I was just comparing a group of top four paid forwards to ours, because I follow the Flyers I'm familiar with their cap.
