I'm more concerned with him improving his overall mobility and passing than the shooting, but yeah, he can absolutely bring it

Kid has a real good work ethic, too. I have been chatting with Russ Cohen of the Prospects show on XM about him. He sees the kid busting his ass and improving.

of course not everybody will pan out, but i can't wait to see this team in 4 or 5 years.
- hammarby31

Yeah. I'm thinking that Hextall might be trying to add even more picks for 2015. He definitely has been encouraging to start.

No, that's too much like being optimistic for this crowd. All Flyers draftees do/will/have suck/suck/sucked.

Well, he can be good up until he's ready to turn pro, at which point we should move him for either established semi-stars or for other picks/prospects because everyone else's players are better than all of our players and our prospects are all busts or are 4th liners/7th defensemen.

The knock that I've heard on his shot is that his wind-up is too long and it gets blocked easily. That said, kill a few people with shots to the head and people will start thinking twice.

Yep. OB18 watched more of him than I did and he mentioned the same. He also has a good hard wrist shot that he gets off more quickly.

That's not teaching size. That's playing God.

this is the only clip you could find of the flyers-whalers? lindbergh getting scorched for 6 goals? jfc.
- hammarby31

and we had to listen the the whalers goal scoring song 6 times...I really liked the Hartford arena in a shopping mall and that arena was so loud

Here's what I'm thinking the top 9 should look like:

Schenn - G- Simmer
Read - Coots- Jake
Umby- Laught- Raffl

I think this provides good balance of size, grit, scoring, defense and complimentary players. Of course, we all know lines are jumbled all season, I just like this arrangement.

You know, more girth makes tip pinching much harder and much more important.

I'm onboard with that.


I saw somebody suggest on twitter, might have been bradleyc4, similar lines, but he had Read with Giroux and Schenn with Couturier & Jake.

tocchet wore a jofa but with the penguins in the mid 90s. when he returned to philly, he was back in the ccm

Tocchet is a Jo alright

Let me suggest Raptor Odin. Here's a picture:



Now, you might be saying, "Well, that looks like regular Odin." Trust me, it's Raptor Odin. But he's just too God damn awesome to have a Raptor head.

And here's a cool picture of Teddy Roosevelt:

Bill or actually for anyone,

Anyone think it would be smart to take a shot at David Booth? If Heatley got 1 million for 1 year then I am sure you could get booth at 1 mil or less. Seems like h could be od depth.

I'm onboard with that.

I like our forwards a lot, They just have to find the right balance between forcing the offense and getting back on 'd'. It would be hard to put together line combinations that would be bad with the amount of talented forwards we have. The future is bright, thankfully with Hexy at the helm we won't likely be trading away young talent.

He hasn't been good since Mike Richards killed him.

If they can't move Vinny they could use a guy making just under $2mm to max out Lecavalier's LTIR exemption. I'd be open to Booth or Peter Mueller, on a one year, show me deal
