they still have Lecavalier for 3 years, Andrew MacDonald until 2020 and are the worst drafting team since 2006 in the NHL by far, lets see if they can actually do something with those picks they have this year for once.

So you leave out 2006 because that's the year the Flyers got Giroux at 22 and the Rangers got Bobby Sanguenetti at 21?

And since then the Rangers have got one very good player in the draft, Stepan. The rest are nothing special or have left the team like MDZ and Duclair. How's the Dylan McIlrath pick working out for you guys, by the way? New York doesn't miss having Fowler or Tarasenko at all right now, I'm sure.

No offense, but the Giroux pick is literally the only one you can hang over Rangers fans heads in the last ten years.

I've got an electric Brinkman, works well

Thanks. Is it an offset smoker or a dual smoker/grill?

My buddy swears by the green egg but it's expensive. I think I'd rather start with some sort of offset smoker and get good at that before I invest more $. Plus, I have little ones that take up a lot of time that I can't devote to the grill, so I'm always concerned I'll spend the money and then the thing will sit there unused for awhile. I need to look into a dual grill/smoker I think so I make sure it gets used.

DZ not very good. But yes the Rangers are right there, especially in the first, of awful picks.

I feel like Chipotle is the new fad, kind of like pogs and suits with shoulder pads.
- jmatchett383

Yeah, I don't know. This BBQ joint that I go to to get these wings have had these chipolte wings for ages. I like chipolte personally cause it gives things a nice taste with a little bit of heat and I don't have to sit on a bag of ice for the next few hours.

why are Flyers fans allowed a lot of lee-way on this site? is it because ek is a flyers fan? as are some of eks top mods in ob and bodiva?

its a important question to ask because this is a open site after all
- wingz4life

Because were the flyers. Now give us your coach

The Rangers have shown well outside of the first round. Although, Kreider and Miller look like they are going to be good NHLers and for a little while at that.

Ed Snider ready to throw bucks of cold hard cash at him.

- jimbro83

for once?

the flyers have a long list of excellent first round picks. unfortunately for them, many have gone on to nice careers after they've left the flyers because they were impatient or made trades to deal with an injury problem. patrick sharp is a great example (although he was a 3rd rounder). justin williams is another. carter, richards, gagne, giroux....most of these guys were picked in the 20s.

they've done poorly in later rounds, and often haven't had many picks in those rounds for reasons mentioned above.

they absolutely have dead weight that needs to be cleared, but there's a nice nucleus of talent up front, a very solid goalie, and some terrific defensive prospects all being groomed right now. they'll get a very nice player with the #7 pick and maybe some diamonds in the rough with all the others hextall has stockpiled. they won't be a contender over night, but in 3-5 years they should much much better team.

i don't know how you can say "worst drafting team by far since 2006"? can you back that up? and in case you haven't noticed, that gm, paul holmgren is no longer the gm. hextall had an outstanding draft last year, his first. he'll likely do even better this time around because of the depth and number of picks they have.

I think the worst drafting crowns are locked in a three way battle between the Penguins, the Leafs and the Devils.

Do or die game 5 tomorrow and we are discussing the Flyers past draft classes. I love hockeybuzz....

Leafs will turn that around soon. Reilly looks solid. Nylander is very skilled and unless they draft Crouse at 4 they are going to get another highly skilled kid.

He's from PA, give him a break. They just discovered indoor plumbing and that new fangled electricity thing.

What is your avatar? Just curious.
- tomburton99

That's a picture of Upset, after he handed Man O'War his only defeat ever at Saratoga in 1919. Before the internet debunked everything, the story was that the term "Upset" in sports came from the horse Upset (as in she's upset about the NYR's losing) winning that race as a big underdog. Just had some weird thought that the horse is appropriate somehow. Don't ask me to explain why though. lol

Only one in the past 10 years where the Flyers drafted better than the Rangers, huh?

Would you rather have:
JvR or Cherapanov (assuming Cherapanov didn't die)
Couturier or Miller
Laughton or Skjei (Laughton does have an OHL scoring championship)

I knew it was a racehorse. Love the Ponies. Got my clock cleaned on the Derby though. Dortmund.

- tomburton99

Rielly, Nylander and perhaps Strome definitely looks good going forward. But they misstepped greatly for much too long in the draft.

Well that's a tough one

Honestly, there are so many on the market now, its really what fits your style. I personally like the cast iron ones using really wood charcoal, with real wood. They can be a bit pricey. A buddy of mine has a ceramic egg one and he really likes that kind.
- mdw7413

Thanks. I think I need to get a basic one and if I use it as much as I think I will, then I can upgrade. I'm sure the ceramic egg is great. It's just too expensive ($1100 for the big one with all the add ons).

Cherepanov had top line potential but JvR is a first line player so that is tough to say.

Miller.

Skjei especially considering the Rangers need for steady two-way defensemen.
