The goalies I'd look at are

Logan Halladay (Minnesota commit)
Ville Husso (HIFK in the Finnish league)
Brandon Halverson (Sault Ste. Marie, OHL)

On D outside of

Ekblad
Fleury
Honka
Sanheim
DeAngelo
Mayo

It seems to me in my studying for the draft a lot of scouting reports for "stay at home" D.

It seems like Stay at Home defenseman do not get the credit they deserve. Maybe I'm getting the wrong vibe. Even Coburn has a certain group of haters and you're bound to get far more solid play from Coburn then bad play.

I love the brutes like Grossmann.

However on a team that lacks skill on its back end, and foot speed not more of what we need imo.

I love Grossmann. I think there would be less need for him to go if we had a legitimate number 1 and more of a balance on the blueline.

If the Flyers want to grab a D in round 1 for it's either Honka (if he even lasts that long) or Sanheim.

Not nervous about taking another last-minute climber in consecutive drafts?

No, I believe they'll likely go forward anyway.

You know what this is actually a decent idea. Like signing T.J Brennan good. Elite prospects has him as a winger, but most sites have him as a center. He would come cheap, motivated and does have amazing hands. 6.2, he would definitely help in the shoot out and may even be healthy. I say do it and hope for chemistry with Giroux and Voracek. Sign him for a year and hope he isn't a Zherdev.

Brennan... I'd sign him to a two-way deal... he's a local Willingboro kid.

I personally had Audette at 96, and Alex Vanier at 97. But to each his own!

I pictured you as more suitable for the fake supervisor of the ice girls! That's a good job.
