what would you give up for Nylander?

Would you include Patrick or???

What is the likelihood that Provy gets an offer sheet?

while I would not want to give up a blue chip, the leafs are going to want a top prospect who is still on his ELC for a few years. They can kick the can down the road a bit. Unless, it becomes a must move but I have to believe someone will trade for Nylander and pay well to do it.

I think you’re right. Right now I think the Flyers should be OK if they offered a first and one of Frost or Farabee. I’m not saying I would do this or we should do this. I’m saying the Flyers should be okay if they did do this.

What about a first and Lindblom for Nylander?

Would you be willing to route for Rod Brind’Amour, Justin Williams and Petr Mrazek in your division or Craig Berube, Brayden Schenn and Patrick Maroon out of your division? Or none of the above?

Jury is still out on that imo, and I give the early edge to Provy. Werenski plays with Seth Jones and Provy is our Seth Jones (not saying he is as good). Werenski could not handle Provy's situation as the top dog.
- ClaudeFather


Werenski is like a young Kevin Shattenkirk.
Provy is like a smaller, young Jay Bouwmeester.

Hard to directly compare, since they're different kinds of dmen.

They still got a top-pair dman out of it, not sure how you could call it a miss.

Is Werenski likely better than Provorov at the end of the day? Yeah. It was a safe pick. Werenski was the home run swing. Just because he's working out for the Jackets doesn't mean it was a mistake to take Provorov (with Ghost and Sanheim already in hand).

- Tomahawk


I agree with everything except what will happen at the end of the day. I see Provorov being better than Werenski.

Provorov has had to carry a very heavy burden for this team since he broke into the league at 19. If he had more support it would've been easier for him. I have zero doubt that the biggest cause of his struggles last season was due to the weight of that burden catching up to him.

I think you might be obsessed. Yeah would be cool with me if the Blues win. Might as well have another team that hasn't won deliver a championship. Caps won last year. What are the chances the Flyers will eventually have the longest current Cup drought at some point? That won't happen right?

Lakers fans are planning on holding two protests outside of Staples Center this weekend voicing their frustration with the team. (via Reddit)

The Lakers have won 10 championships since 1980.

What would they do if they had zero the last 4+ decades.

The Lakers are an absolute clown show right now. Has nothing to do with their past.

They won as recent as 2010. What are they protesting exactly? Do they think it's their birth right to win every year?

They have no coach. Their GM literally ditched the team. Idk, I'd be pissed too as a fan.

It is chaos for sure, to me when you've won as often as they have it buys you some street cred.

Fun fact. Claude Giroux has 762 career points all time. Exact one point more than Joe Pavelski’s career 761 points. Pavelski is four years older and has 142 more career games.

All kidding aside as long as it's not Boston I'm in favor of one of the other 3 teams winning just because it will be unexpected and something different.
