What exactly are you exposing? Lol. I never said I was a scout, I've never denied anything you quoted me as saying. But you were sneaky and left out the rest of a sentence.
You have no idea about these prospects, you said so. I follow prospects all year and watch a lot of them live all season. Just because you have no idea what you're talking about doesn't mean others have no clue.

I think you're a little butthurt still from me calling out your complete hypocrisy. Remember this" lets not pretend that you have more information then they do or know players better than they do. You don't" - MJL That was pure gold coming from you.

I've been on this site a very long time and have been subject to a lot of your comments. You spin all the time, lie and deflect. From time to time your name comes up on other boards and you get destroyed. But you carry on thinking you know everything about hockey.
- dubc55

Just simple facts. You don't know the players as well as the Flyers scouts do. That simple. You don't have the credibility to state that there were better players available. I'll repeat, you don't know. You just think you do.

Yea, they so destroy me that they have to talk about me behind my back in secrecy. Tell those doing that to man up and they know where to find me!


The guy making that comment and saying I lie, spin and deflect. That's the guy that is butthurt!

I'm interested in talking hockey.

The Habs and Flyers have for the third year in a row traded 7th round picks. Wtf is going on

Being realistic, Harper isn’t THAT much worse than what should have reasonably been expected.

He’s never going to consistently be a 300 hitter. He’s still going to finish the year as a league leader in walks, 35 to 40 homeruns, 110 or so rbi.

Overrated? Sure, just comes with the flash of being that so young. Overpaid? Definitely. But in a non capped league he’s worth it for the dollars he generated as a flash guy.

He isn’t exactly willing them to victory, but he isn’t single handedly killing them either.

I like the Brink pick. Idk if you’re confusing me with someone else. Sorry if not!

Going back and forth with you can be maddening at times but it’s all in good fun.

Are you able to approximate how much sleep you lose in a given week knowing that
people in other message boards actually use their free time to discuss you when you aren’t even there?

if he keeps regressing he's going to be a giant drag

I don’t see him regressing a ton but I also don’t see him being in the same universe as trout.

He’s gonna hit you 35 to 40 home runs a year for the next decade. The problem is the league is currently littered with guys who will hit maybe seven or eight less homeruns a year with a higher average fort sixty percent of the cost

They’re all regressing. You have to wonder why relatively consistent hitters crap out under Mallee and his launch angle adjustments or why pitchers who had no history of injury suddenly have issues under “never was a pitching coach” Chris Young.

No expert. Just a Flyers and draft fan. My knowledge of these guys is mostly from watching the international tourns. Top Prospects games and Youtube videos (highlights and shift vids). Didn't like the York pick. Most experts had other dmen higher than him that they were not even that high on. If they would have taken Nick Robertson or Lovoie with the 2nd rounder then I'd have liked the combo of one of them and York a lot. I do like the combo with Brink but really like the other two. Not sure why those two aren't viewed higher by the teams. Brink is interesting. Clearly has a lot of skill. Fit right in with many of those top 15 picks on the us u18 team. The complaints about his skating scare me but I think the reason that he was still ranked high is the combo of being so skilled and still being able to get to where he needs to be despite how his skating looks.

Have no idea about their other picks. They've done well enough in later rounds that hopefully one of them will be a decent prospect.

The Kings really made out well. Picked up 3 guys that all may be solid contributors in 2020 (Turcotte, Kaliyev, Fagemo) plus a dman ranking similar to York (Bjornfot).

If you're mad that these guys may take a few years, I wouldn't be to concerned about that considering the prospects in the system now.

Go watch some Brink videos, I think you'll at least be pleased with him.

I sleep very soundly knowing that I'm an internet celebrity. I just wish I could somehow turn that into some financial gain!


I know what I am and what my faults are. However, I think it's sad that time is wasted like that by others. Much more important things to discuss.

Do you need a tissue? Maybe a binky?
Do you want a tutor for reading comprehension?

It’s been said repeatedly the flyers did not pass on CC because of his size. Do you understand. Do you need an interpreter?

Well why take the second best when you could have had the first.

People say Brian leetch. I don’t know that’s quite the reach I think. The limited viewing I’ve had of him I’m not blown away. The pro player that comes to mind style wise is Nick Jensen. He’s a smooth player. Underrated imo. Moves the puck well...skates well...no wow plays just real efficient. The anti ghost.

I’ve been watching some brink and I’m not seeing the big skating deficiency. He’s 5’8” so it’s likely going to look choppy. I don’t know seems like he gets around. We’ll see how it looks in college

Decent breakdown of Brink:

Really tight for the Flyers. Vegas is already 1.6M over.
- MJL

With the recent moves, we added just over 12 million. What did we start with prior to those moves and how much space do we have left over now?

Yeah, the link i just posted actually talks about and shows how he's all over the puck. Tough to do when you can't keep up. I don't see it as much either but the experts do bring it up a lot. He is young too.

We have a legitimate 2a center. Embrace it, it’s not changing.

Hate to sound like an old man but advanced stat guys are ruining baseball.

I can't wait to see someone have enough and just start laying down bunts because the entire left side of the infield is open.
