Last year we all had several different prospects we thought Philly would take with the pick, and Button was correct with his Morin pick. I see Barbashev, Kapanen, etc being mentioned that we want at #17. I can see it Button being correct again, and we get DeAngelo.

So the Preds just drafted a guy from a league that sounds like a virus.

Yeah but his mom was good looking

Hornqvist 51.1% CF, +3.4% CF rel, 52% ZS, 29.6% QOC
Spaling 45.3% CF, -3.2% CF rel, 50% ZS, 28.7% QOC


Hornqvist has surprisingly good numbers going back 3+ seasons.
- Tomahawk

So not bad. Spaling will fit in nicely on the Lack of Possession Line with Sutter.

Thankfully we did not part with simmer for the #1. The devil you know.

Keep in mind the player they're giving up:

Neal 55.4% CF, +10.0% CF rel, 57.8% ZS, 29.0% QOC

Yeah but his mom was good looking

- Steelmanpa

There's a lot of good looking moms out there.

Why, the real evilone is across the street

What happened to the deal in place to be announced at the draft

(frank) swapping first.

should have handcuffed scuderi to neal and said alright deal with it.

but yeah, i think they just wanted neal gone. it really is a shame he had to be such a wiener. regardless of what people say, he wasnt always like that. i dont know why he fancied himself some sort of tough guy. easy to be tough when its cheap.

I wouldn't call him a 'tough guy'. He never dropped the gloves and had plenty of opportunities.

I think they did want to get rid of him though. Just took the best offer they got.

- Tomahawk

true. im not just saying this because hes gone, but malkin will help anyones possession numbers.

The Neal trade was just weird because of when it was announced, with no pick involved. Just totally random

Thank God. Maybe the real trade activity will happen tomorrow.

its only Neal who thinks he's a tough guy, the rest of us think he's a damp turd.

YES SIR

true. im not just saying this because hes gone, but malkin will help anyones possession numbers.

Hornqvist is a Tomas Holmstrom type... should help you guys in front of the net on the PP, more of an in-close scorer than Neal.

Phillies broadcast crew in the outfield seats tonight. Look what happened.

- flyer_nutter

he was probably half asleep when he made the deal.
