I think I'd be willing to move down 3 spots for another 1st rounder. Providing they can still get a good player there.

If Poluck is gone.. I almost certainly look to trade back.

I'd love Pulock, but there's at least 4 or 5 others I'd love to grab, as well.

Just in time to join the nouveau-Patrick Division.

But I still want to see how Bobrovsky responds to a full-season's workload before I am sold.

i could hate any team on any given day, depending on my mood. i don't hate the isles the way i used to, but i still can't root for them despite their perpetual suckage.

i do find the canucks and ducks annoying at times, but there are things about both clubs i like. i was a huge vancouver fan in the early-mid 90s, until bure left and messier joined them. ruined everything.

the real reason i'd root for the sharks is because mclellan constantly looks like a monchichi after an all-night bender.

It depends on how things unfold.. honestly though, Id love to try to get two picks in this first round... So if say Calgary or CBJ came asking would you say yes to a 2 for one swap?

I understand the speculation, but in a fantasy world...

That would Be an insane trade for Columbus. I think you'd have to hope for their 2nd rounder.

If they wanted someone enough.. moving up a few spots for their first pick and the kings pick would be clutch

that's a team i don't have any real emotion for one way or the other, but knowing me, i could easily find a reason to hate them.

We will get to have a very good look at how Bob's progressed next season. But I also find it interesting that the Team Russia coach (allegedly) denied Bob the opportunity to be a backup in the IIHF tourney because he thought Bob was too tired.

Interesting if the report is true.

The dolphins in the nfl draft moved up from 12 to 3 and only had to forfeit their 2nd rounder.

I think the jackets would be insane

I'd be willing to sweeten the pot with a 3rd rounder or prospect, but ideally it'd be a two for one swap. Would really only work with Columbus, because I don't want to drop too far. Calgary is picking 6th and then has Pittsburgh and St Louis, both of which would be a bit late for me to give up 11.

It's not the NFL. If there's a specific guy at 11 they want, and figure he'll be gone at 14, they might be willing to pay a premium. Plus they have 3 picks in the first round.

Bill, among defensemen, I also think that Nikita Zadarov of the London Knights is a real possibility for the Flyers at the 11th pick, if he makes it there. He 6'5, can punish forwards, isn't afraid to drop the gloves, and is actually pretty skilled offensively. I like him better than Nurse, who I think is a bit of a tweener -- good offensively, good defensively, but not great at either.
- Pete V



Agreed. I've been doing some more research on this beast...seems like his ceiling could be the next Chara/Pronger type in time. He's 6'7" (added a couple inches this season), plays a stiff physical game and just tapping into his potential offensively. I'm sure the Flyers love his size. He seems to have a very good attitude as well. I'm updating my current list of players that could possibly be available at the 11 spot in order of preference:

Nurse (not likely, but)
Pulock
Zadorov
Lindholm
Monahan
Ristolainen
