Dvorsky with 4 goals today. A lot of prospects killing it in the U18 championship that will be available outside the top 5.

He has looked GOOD. As has Moore. The only one that I'm not sold on is will Smith. He looks solid but seems limited in what he aha to offer so far. I'm not saying he can't be developed he may be very coachable, but he juat worries me. But I'm not a hockey scout and I'm only sharing my opinion so take that for what it's worth

Taryn Hatcher is not married, but she is in a long-term relationship with Austen Freeborn, a former auditor at Bank of America. The couple has been seen together for several years, and both of their social media handles are flooded with their pictures. During her leisure time, she enjoys watching her favorite Philadelphia sports teams. She frequently visits Chickie's and Petes, her former job, because she supports Philadelphian cuisine.

Moore concerns me somewhat. It's easy to get enamored with elite skating. I remember Eric Wellwood for the Flyers. Elite skater, no hands. Right now, I like Leonard over Moore.

Looks like one of the candidates for President is no longer in the running. Out of all the candidates mentioned, I believe Doug Wilson would make the most sense to pair with Briere.

Flyers cap is actually decreasing due to overages and the OL buyiut

Flyers do not need to spend any money in the FA market this summer other than to fill out the roster with a couple veterans to help balance and develop younger guys. Please God, no overpayments in money or term until there is A) a plan; B) a plan; C) the beginning of executing said plan; and D) a plan.

They have goalies, so no need there
They have an excess of RW, so no need there
They have Coots, Cates and Laughts (hopefully Hayes is gone) so no need to overpay for a top center
LW is a need but again, please no need to overpay
Defense needs to make room so Attard, Zemula, Andrae get a real chance to break in to the NHL. Still have Provy, Sanheim, Risto, York and Seeler.
Lots of rebuilding. Chances are no one from this years draft is gonna play in the NHL next year. Cutter already announced staying in college. So there must be a plan to keep spot for them to make the roster potentially the following year.

They need to acquire draft stock, prospects, and maybe trade underachievers for underachievers who may need a change of scenery without ruining a salary structure. Anyway, that’s all I gotta say about that [voice of Forest Gump]

Interesting... I will definitely look into it then. What do you like between the two and what's not to like, in your opinion?

I am truly hoping that they know that this next season we will not be a good team. Ban whatever cap space that we have and then sell that at thw deadline and accumulate assets and picks for said space. It's almost so easy that it worried me that it won't happen.
If they sign a big FA I'll be livid. Cap space is the best way to obtain free assets and picks with how the salary cap has been. If DB is smart I hope to see him take this approach and use another lost season as a way to spring board the rebuild buy selling the unused space to other teams

I hear the Flyers are in the market for a GM. Would you be interested?

Good post. I agree, no FA's. Most important guy on your D list is Attard. He's an RHD that needs to make an impact.

I don’t see it but I hope you’re right.

His AHL numbers are pretty good but each time he’s been with the big club, I’m just not seeing “it”.

I don't think they have to stay completely out of FA. If they trade Provorov, they're going to need a vet D man. Just no long term big money players. 1-2 year deal with modest money. I have my doubts that Attard will ever make an impact. Good puck skills but not much else from what I've seen. Still relatively young though.

I feel like you did this in-depth search because you really hate Risto, you want him to be alone and to be unhappy with his personal life.

Well it's my Hope that he makes an impact because they are desperate for RHD.
My biggest fear and probably yours is Risto ends up on the top pair. I would think about trading Provy for a young RHD prospect.

As of right now, if the Flyers trade Provorov, they don't have a single top pairing defenseman. Some might even say Provorov isn't one. Certainly not the way he played this past season. Somebody is going to have to be elevated.

Provorov wants out and the Flyers want to move him.

Then your top pair is going to be Sanheim/Risto or York. I'd rather York stay on the Left so Torts doesn't screw him up like the team did Provorov.

I’m glad someone else pointed this out. I like Cam York and I’m not at all saying that he can’t develop into something special but this lifting him up to put another defender down this season has been ridiculous. York in my opinion was very average this season. He looked pretty good when he was brought up from the minors and then quickly blended in with the rest of the team.

I believe Leonard will be the better shooter and equal at worst in play making. I think his ceiling is higher then Moore. Here is a good write up

Alex Killorn hasn’t scored in 29 playoff games until tonight. Which means last post season when Tampa made it to a Stanley Cup Final, he didn’t score at all. That’s loyalty because in my world, that’s enough to get you traded.

This report is old. If you look down a bit it says that she was born in 1992 and that she is 29 years old. That tells me that this info is 2 years old. She now would be 31. Let the Risto rumors continue!!!
