Agreed....I think once Carter and Richards were traded they should have been in NO rush to sign a guy like Bryz, who I do like, they should have signed a good Vet like craig anderson and groom Bob into something....would it have worked, hopefully, but you never know. - Pyzik
I was advocating a short term deal for Voukon or Nabby with Bob backing.

Hahahaha, is your favorite shape a circle? Cause you go around in circles shoveling bullpoop. You contradict yourself with everything you say. It's actually hilarious!! Dude, there is a reason you don't work for an NHL team and it's bc you are clueless. Your Justin Schultz reasoning is vague and so inaccurate it's not even funny... "Because he plays for Edmonton?" News flash, he'd be the best defenseman on this team if be were here. As for comparing Bryz to other goalies, why can't you? There aren't other bad defensive teams out there? Bryz hasn't been bad, but he hasn't been good. Goals like Nash and Richards scored the other night occur way more then he makes that big save to "keep the Flyers in games they shouldn't be in."
Seeing as I'm looking at a ban for calling you out again, I'm going to say this. Because you say "in my opinion" it doesn't absolve you of being an bumhole. You harass people on here and you are the reason myself and Butsy take more to twitter then this site.. Frankly most of what you say offends me and ruins MY experience on here and this causes me not to bother to visit it. I'm sure I'm not alone in the way that I feel. The Mods really need to consider a solution to the problem that is you. If someone gives you an answer of how they feel you make them explain it in depth so you can pick it apart. But then Tomahawk (who I respect) makes a fair point and you give him a vague answer and get all whiney when he asks you to explain it. THAT, sir, is the EXAMPLE of hypocrisy. I will take this ban and then I will not come to this site again because of you. I literally came here to have an informed conversation about the situation my favorite team is in. Not have a pissing match over how much MJL knows. All your supposed cap knowledge, player evaluation skills, and brilliant assessments has got you nothing. Congrats you sit home everyday and post on the Internet about a team that gives two poops about your opinion and to a group of individuals who hate you. I hope you now realize how truly pathetic your life is and how alone you really are. - Flyers1218
Mentioning yourself in the same sentence with Butsy is a more bannable offense than any of the others you engage in.
I know Butsy. And you are no Butsy.
And since you claim you are leaving willingly, we'll skip the ban.

hey OB, let me ask your opinion on best player available vs need
since they obviously need a top defenseman, if Jones is gone, and they are picking in the top 3, do they take a defenseman or Mackinnon/Drouin? - Marc D
I take BPA, yes we'd like a D-man but I'm not taking Nurse as good as he is and I've watch a fair amount of him in this series against Owen Sound above Drouin or MacKinnon
If we end up 5th or 6th then yes maybe taking Nurse would be worth it but even then with say Sean Monahan there it all depends on how they rank them on their board.
I think shoot-outs would reduce if you got 3 points for a win instead of 2. Then the final 5 minutes of a tied game would actually mean something. But hey, that's just me. - FlyersGrace
I proposed getting rid of loser points. Because only in the NHL can you lose three ways and get rewarded in two of those three (OTL, SOL).
I'd rather they go this way:
Regulation win: 3 points
Overtime win: 2 points
Shootout win: 1 point
Any loss: 0 points
It sure would make teams play harder in the third.

Can you give a brief scouting report on Monahan? Don't know anything about him.
