Yup. The top 4 should be Provorov, Ghost, Sanheim and Gudas.

I think Pronman's pro scouting is worse than his amateur scouting

his top 100 players under 25 includes provorov (26), patrick (38), and konecny (46)

I just went through the comments on that article and thought this one was pretty comical to say the least...

Can someone tell Pronman to watch some Jets games. There isn’t a D-man on this list that I’d trade one for one for Josh Morrissey. He will be Norris candidate this year.

It was pretty shameful how some fans and the organization treated Steve Mason.
- StepfordSam


Mase had three really good seasons, but then couldn't stop a beach ball in the first few months of 16-17, which unfortunately for him was his contract year. By the time he turned his season around in February, it was too late. Hextall had already decided to go with the cheaper option in Neuvirth as his expansion draft exposed goalie.

lol yeah I laughed at that one too...should've been signed "-not biased at all Jets fan"

For real though...he is really good, but the hype is a little overblown due to power play time

I doubt I will ever know what happened between all parties involved and don't really care anymore, I just know it was weird and I am not sure who is really at fault for it.

When the Flyers were committed to using him as their starting goalie he gave them very good results during a time period where the team was sub par in talent, especially on defense, where the guys that averaged the most ice time were Del Zotto, Streit, AMac, and Coburn.

Update: I didn't win the Mega Millions last night. So I will not be buying the team. All of your current jobs are safe.

Yeaa I 100% agree that Morrissey is really good and will probably be very good for a while but to say you wouldn't trade him one for one for a player like Seth Jones is a tad bit crazy lol

I mean, think about it. He has to:

Put on clothing
Traverse several rooms of his house
Successfully open and close at least one door
Potentially walk down steps both in and out of his house
Travel from his door to his car
Open and enter his car

I mean, for Neuvirth, he may as well be walking across burning coals while juggling machetes while doused in kerosene to accomplish all of those tasks.

Meh. He was decent with flashes of greatness from time to time but he ended up digging his own grave in the end here. The fact no one picked him up as a starter after his time here is kind of telling in itself.
- hereticpride


I dont think his skill was in question by teams, I think it was more along the lines of his attitude. Guy seemed to be quite a douche at times. The stunt he pulled here was probably something many GMs took notice of.

Personally I think PK should change from Passive box to Aggressive Box. PK in the past was successful using that formation.

The Flyers switched to a tandem forward alignment due to repeatedly getting burned by cross ice passes. Playing passively has not been the main root cause of their PK issues this season.

Guy cant develop if he isnt playing and he cant play because he is always injured. Im not as optimistic about him as others like yourself are.
- xShoot4WarAmpsx


2 completely healthy years followed by last year's unfortunate season which of course lingering into this season doesn't make him always hurt. It annoys me when people say that. his first two pro seasons he was healthy.

Lindblom played 8 mins last game. He'll be the one to sit.

As long as Weise playing I'm fine. He's integral
