- MrBigglesworth

I'm not defending all of their picks. And I certainly won't defend the Eminger trade. But can we at least wait until Laughton and Matta each play a few years before we crucify the pick?

And yes, I would take Couturier over Hamilton again. Personally, I would have taken Matta over Laughton, but it's not like it was the Z2 with the 3rd pick.

Because he got mono and had to sit out a large portion of his draft season.

that or he's just not as good as people initially thought he was

In Albany, or wherever the hell their AHL team is.

I wish the Flyers could have gotten the 4th overall pick in 2007 and gotten Thomas Hickey. Woulda solved everything.

39 points for a 20-year-old playing with Steve "Anchor" Downie getting the least amount of offensive zone starts on the team and no PP time is a "plug who can't score?" I'll take 6 of them, please.

Aw, don't hang your head. Here, I'll show you how we do:

Flyers should have taken Ron Stackhouse in 1969 at #17.

So Couturier is a bum because he's not Sidney Crosby....gotcha.

You know what, this is stupid. I'm done biting. Enjoy being angry at everything.

logan couture scored 32 goals his first full season

I agree it's ridiculous to panic so early and start making trades.

Wait until the third game then fire the coach.
