I'm seeing more and more mock drafts showing the Flyers picking Joakim Kemell at 5.

Right now I'm just scared they draft Jiricek...my gut says no.


Could be the rumbling of the red wine and cheesesteak I had.

I think chuck will trade the pick to Calgary for the rights to negotiate early with Johnny G. Now that’s being aggressive in the rebuild.
- Hextall271


He wont trade the pick. He's already stated the player they choose will be a big part of the Flyers future. Only way I move the pick is if Tkachuk is involved

Oh my God I know you are being facetious. But why you trying to scare us like that?

Face it Hexy, you are one of those people who just want to watch the world burn.

Doting I’s and crossing T’s till we miss out on everyone and have to scrape bottom of barrel for the worst probable coach.
Why the blueprint for what they wanted in a coach wasn’t written long ago astonishes me.

they wont miss out. Top end coaches will go elsewhere. Flyers will be their backup plan.

You got this!
Go into detail how you like 200 ft players and that you'll make every player play the right way. The Flyers way. The only way.

Haha I was def being facetious. In reality I would lose my mind if they traded it. If anything, they need more picks.

Instead of shaking hands, I plan on swinging on everyone I come into contact with. Obviously I will be a little hammered, just enough so everyone smells it on me from 15 feet away.

Ok. I got this.

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not but can you tell me one time in NHL history when a top 5 pick was traded for the rights to negotiate for a pending UFA.

Yeah, there's always a price but I'd like to see them keep most of the picks. I don't expect them to go into a rebuild any time soon, but at least keep those picks. It's how you build a contender long term as we all know. We're just never lucky enough to pick high enough to draft that generational talent (or we screw it up)..

Pens blog said not sure new ownership might not want their own leadership for the team.


Pens, Caps and Bruins at crossroads for sure.

Complete sarcasm. I should have added a smiley face. I am quite positive that that has never occurred. I'd pass out if that happened, but hey it would fit the MO of an aggressive re tool.

He's going to go in and start swinging at Scott and Fletch for messing up his team, and security will bounce him by 301...then you're up..

Also, further Calgary goes, the more likely I think it is that JG stays. I was happy to see him come through last night. I think the chances of him ending up here are low but I am still surprised he hasn't been extended yet.

I'm in agreement. I think he eventually ends up re-signing. I think the two sides agreed to wait until after the playoffs to talk about his next contract, I believe I read that somewhere.

Yeah, I think that's the plan. But he will command top dollar. Obviously, he may be intending on testing the waters. Tax rate is much better for a US team.

If he is Chuck's guy I really hope the Flyers trade up and get him. That is what being aggressive in your rebuild is all about!
- jd250


I hope they don't trade up. I'm no prospect expert, but doesn't sound like there is a lot of difference in the top 5 guys.
