14th in the East right now.

27th in the NHL, but the teams in 28th & 29th have games in hand, so if the season ended tonight, we'd be assured of a top 3 pick

We are going to go on a meaningless late season run led by Briere. I know it.

Just let them finish good enough to stay out of the top 5 picks. That way they can draft a forward and trade for an established dman. They're not going to overnight become dman develop gurus and I'm skeered that if they finish high enough they'll draft Jones or one of the others then trade him in two years cause the fans and media think he's really Mat Carle.

Screw that, finish in the top 3 and draft Nate MacKinnon if you want to trade forwards for a defenseman. Might as well replace Schenn or Couturier with the best possible player.

Sad part is, they're still only 5 points out and now have games in hand or are tied in games played with everyone.

Agreed. Get Mackinnon and put Coots or Schenn on the block for a D man. Mackinnon trumps those two.

I would like us to get Jones tho if we can. Maybe even trade our 2nd rounder+ to move up into the mid/late first and grab someone like Morrissey who could very well still be on the board.

Sadly....

I can't shake this feeling that if there is a second coming of Alexandre Daigle in this draft, the Flyers will select him with their first round pick.

You could have said Fedetenko and I might have believed you. But I'm sorry I think mr wrister from the blue line is cooked.

No, it isn't...but the deal looks to be settled soon. They have the Pens, Rangers, Isles, Bruins and Caps and then two full days before the TDL.

If they do anything less than 3-1-1, they have to be selling.

I keep telling myself one injury to Bryz and1st overall is ours.


(even tho this new rule only gives you a 25% chance)

Okay now I'm starting to think perhaps this was the plan all along. If Lavy keeps his job going into next season it's a stone cold lead pipe monkey uncle lock for a conspiracy.

I'm more than content to be guaranteed a top 3 pick.

My guess? They go 1-3-1. Beat the Isles, lose to the Pens, Rangers and Bruins and drop a shootout to the Caps
