I'm talking about the likelyhood of a concky ending his career and making that 1 overall useless. I would rather give up my 1st overall for the 30th and 31st picks.

Can't trade picks in this scenario. Teams wouldn't be able to complete their roster while others would have too many players.

I think we have 10. I'm not sure though. We'll need to go back and look through the thread.

Not sure if flyers_god or mjl are in. People, really, send me a PM if you want it, as that way I won't miss/misinterpret a post.

I was just saying hypothetically that is what I would rather do. IMO get more value at 30, 31, 60,61 then you would with 1, 60 & 61.

Nope... Its a private secret draft. No on-lookers/hecklers allowed.

So you won't be bringing it into Bill's threads?

From that Elliotte Friedman 30-thoughts link I posted earlier:

15. For all the criticism the Flyers take about contract decisions, remember this: Sean Couturier and Matt Read manhandled the Pittsburgh Penguins' best players twice in 24 hours. The duo is signed for the next two years at a combined salary-cap hit of $5.375 million.

16. The story's been in this blog before, but approximately five years ago, Philly wanted Jay Bouwmeester from Florida and the Panthers asked for Claude Giroux -- before the current Flyers captain was an established player. Paul Holmgren said no, a franchise-altering move. Someday, we're going to find out how many times he said no about Couturier. The Los Angeles Kings asked for sure last summer, when Jonathan Bernier was on the move, but the Flyers said no dice. I don't know how much Couturier will score, but he's an elite shutdown player.

I would say that given the Olli Maata is the next Lidstrom he should go first overall

You know the quote everytime a bell rings an angel gets his wings... Well everytime bill's blog is clicked a fraction of a penny goes into his account. (assuming he works as other internet bloggers do). Our draft would have made him a rich man..

are we going to follow this over the years to see that though? i just have a hard time quantifying future projections for players. both good and bad.

That's closer to a get on one knee, kind of commitment.

Things still have to be hammered out. I suggest we have 2 winners. 1 that the "panel" believes is ready to win the CUp this year, and another that believes the team is built to win "long term".

For example, maybe the team withat wins now has the likes of Lundqust, Keith, Thornton... The core being older vets or in thier late primes...

But another teams might have like Bobrovsky, Subban, Mackinnon, Hall... guys that would be more primed to win 5 years down the line.

Can my team be:

Nutter's Blue Balls

That's closer to a get on one knee, kind of commitment.
- flyer_nutter

i didnt think thats what we were gonna do either. which to me makes a guy like crosby an even safer pick for one.

would the draft be to think we are having a team to win this year, or just the best overall team going forward?
