The Flyers have never subscribed to the "Let's dump everyone and suck for 5 straight years so we can draft in the top five and all the while hold the state and city hostage with threats of moving to Kansas City for a new arena" theory

you forgot the 'get an extra first overall pick through sheer dumb luck, then draft a generational player' part.

Coburn was one of the Flyers better D-men tonight, I thought (though he's become a popular whipping boy). Gustafsson and Gervais were the weakest links tonight.
- bmeltzer


Thanks for being the voice of reason here, Bill. I think Coburn gets a bad rap. I still like him.
I will say that you sounded disgusted with them in your blog in the nicest way possible!

I like Ristolainen, Nurse, Morrissey. Ristolainen and Morrissey are probably the most likely to fall to the Flyers.
- NickTheKid87


Going off NHL 13 I'll rank them

1. Nurse
2. Morrisey
3. Pulock
4 donovan Mcnabb (be a pro)

i don't see a single, reasonable scenario where the Flyers trade Couturier for a defenseman, and are a better team in the next 3-5 years because of it.
- bradleyc4


IF the Flyers can steal a comparably young #1 dman for Couturier+pick, I disagree with that statement.

Maybe Voracek would like to play along side Malkin, when your team starts unloading everyone send Voracek our way. Im sure we will give you a 7th or 8th rounder for him.

The default rosters have Morrissey having a really high potential but in the latest update Nurse is that guy (after Jones of course). Anthony Mantha has a 4.5 star potential as well.

Seriously? What kinda thrill do you get by coming in here with the sole intention of being a Richard. Did you not get the attention you needed as a child? Were you an orphan of some sort?

That was a really scary moment. I haven't seen a reaction to being hit like that since Pronger's undoing. Really hope he's okay. I don't understand why these guys don't wear visors.

This board is depressing me today, sigh. Couldn't even make it through the 3rd period last night.

I love this team and want to see the young guys thrive. Heartbreaking to see them look like last night...
