Yeah, but I wouldn't trade Giroux for any number 1 since Crosby.

I'd probably take Stamkos, and have to think hard about Tavares... the others I agree are < Giroux, which is pretty awesome when you think about it.

Is Jesper Pettersson gonna be a Phantom too?

If I was a defenseman on that roster last year, and I was a healthy scratch, I'd consider a new profession or investigate a nice ECHL city to play in.

The Phantoms are going to be able to run out some good, young blue liners this year.

So yes?

Is Jesper Pettersson gonna be a Phantom too?
- SuperSchennBros

Well yes, unless he plays for the Flyers.

He's 19 today. On Wednesday, he'll be 20, thus not eligible for junior hockey.

So yes?
- SuperSchennBros

Yeah, I think he'll be there....

I don't think that will be a problem. Most of their vets walked anyway.

Malkin and Kopitar would make my list. Toews, I'd bump. Tavares or G.... hmmmmm.

Wow!

Gostisbehere-Alt
Pettersson-Hagg

Now this is exciting! Great time to evaluate. Gostisbehere and Hagg should see plenty of time to develop their offense.

It's a tough call. I don't wanna overrate Toews but he's has a nice balanced two way game, solid faceoff man, who's pretty clutch. Just not on the same level of point producing as the rest. I suppose I'm asking who are today's Sakic, Yzerman and Lemieux?

So Jeff Samardzija was picked to pitch for the NL All Star team, but was traded like 2 weeks ago to the A's in the AL.

So now, he can't pitch in the All Star game. He's wearing generic NL gear, but is going to watch from the pen/dugout, ineligible to pitch since he basically was selected as an NL All Star but now plays in the AL.

That's so stupid. He should be pitching for the NL, since his performance as a National League pitcher deemed him good enough for an All Star appearance.

But, since the game "means something" they can't just say (frank) it because someone will cry foul (no pun intended).

That is bizarre and dumb.

He plays for a really good team in the AL too. If he gave up runs, it would look really strange. It sucks for him because it's his first all star game.

He could have been an NFL first round pick and he made the MLB All Star Game. Pretty impressive.

Embiid is so good on Twitter. It makes me want to see him succeed even more.
