I love Simmonds on this team ... and I'm hopeful that Hexy does too.

Outside of Mason and maybe Jake, I don't remember any other Flyer having as many good games this past year as Simmer did.

Simmonds needs to find better consistency and get stronger on the boards. All that twirling he does back and forth and he still ends up coughing the puck up most of the time.

The deal was likely going to include #17. That pick has already been made and is likely not the player they wanted.

This sounded close enough that if the Flyers were at #12 or something, it may have happened

definitely needs to be more consistent ... but I think he's pretty strong along the boards. He does get in trouble by hanging onto the puck a bit too long at times, though.

I would have pulled the trigger on #17, Schenn and VL as long as Florida took all of VL's salary.

The rumour I saw Florida wanted Both Schenns, Read, Simmonds and Vinny for Gubransson and #1.... So glad THAT never happened.. Might as well throw in the rest of the team lol

Simmer, G, Jake, Read, Raffl, Umberger, Couts all get close to 20 goals or more. They have money freed up to make a move in FA too.

Im confused because I thought you said you would have done 17, Schenn and VL for the pick.

I think it was B Schenn, VL and #17. Panthers either wanted Simmonds too or Simmonds instead of Schenn.

And you said who scores goals. I gave you a list of players who will contribute offensively. Not to mention, the team defense would improve without VL.

eklund is a fraud

I still can't believe that VL was something that could have been dealt for the #1 pick. I'm still questioning that part even though it's been "reported"

Maybe he's thinking '17' means Simmonds and not the #17 pick?

I like the pick of Sanheim. McKeown is still on the board, so I am hoping we trade up in the second round.

im sure you would have.... that would have been a ridiculous steal beyond comprehension.

Ohhhhhhh. I meant #17 as in the pick not Simmonds.

its been a long day of staring at the command line on routers my brain is fried.

or a certain other #17 ...

Or Barbashev even.

anyone can start a hockey rumors site just make poop up and people will believe it

I'm good with that too.

Much more interested in Barbashev. McKeown seemed to fall out of favor with everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on the board when the Flyers pick.

- PhillySportsGuy

it's funny because it's true.

only one round tonight?
