There have been additions to it. And again, they did a pretty solid job last season in finding skill throughout. Not a single "grinder" taken, unless you count Fazleev, and he's not a Goulbourne type at all.

ok ive done so e thinking and would be ok if they took rantanen or zacha for a forward at that spot. been thinking and id prefer to stay away from crouse. don't want a guy that needs a playmaker that badly.

I think Andrew Ladd is a very underrated player in this league. He might not make players around him better but his leadership abilities are top notch and I think you need an Andrew Ladd on every team to win a Cup.

Sure, he's got every tool and trait required to be that kind of player.

Then again, so did Taylor Pyatt, Raffi Torres and Chad Kilger.

I'm saying I can do as well watching clips, thinking about a strategy, and reading reports. I would trust Jsaq, OB and Tomahawk, to name three, to also have a 10-year list, that's a key, that would yield as many good picks as a team.

What I'm really saying is the real money for a GM is not what they can do in the 1st round picking off their board. It's deciding on a strategy - trading up or down, building a roster, signing or not signing players, trading picks for players, drafting after the 1st round.

I'm not saying I could do any of that. I'm not saying I'm qualified to be a GM. I'm saying I could pick as well as many teams could with publicly available information.

Also trading, ufa's. Couldn't tell you how many times I posted capgeek lineups that were cheaper and better than Holmers

I see a lot of notes about devils or Carolina taking provorov. Giving both organizations depth at d I find it unlikely. Both teams are in horrendous shape offensively worse than the flyers. However I've heard a lot that provorov is blue jackets target and they are fighting to move up to get him. Toronto said they'd move back as did Carolina. I think you could see Columbus hop up and claim provorov. At that time you could see strome or marner or even hanifin fall. I think somebody is going to go off the beaten track with their pick probably devils if I had to guess. We will snatch up a surprising guy who fell and be ecstatic.

Or they'll all be taken we will take a guy who nobody even considers at 7 like connors

Sorry if Leight but Sheldon keefe was named head coach of marlies. Does this mean the flyers have the inside track to the Erie coach? I'm very happy they're looking at a young guy like him

No I was talking about sometimes- when I click to get to the comments, when the comments page loads, the 2 or 3 ads that are on the page normally, are taking up 1/2 of the comments section so I can't read what everyone is commenting about. Usually if I exit my browser and go back to HB like 4 or 5 times it goes away, but just kind of annoying.

I'm not sure how to report that to EO without specific examples/screenshots. And I don't see ads (as mods, we have season tickets, so we don't see the ads). maybe note the time and where and maybe which ads sometime and send a note to the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page? Sorry!

- JoeRussomanno


That's kind of what I was thinking regarding crouse. A guy who is that dependent on a playmaker may not be the best option with that high of a draft pick. Especially when there are other players who are not that dependent. That being said.... we do have a perfect slot for a power forward who is dependent on a playmaker.... and it's an even better slot because the two other linemates are world class playmakers. The way I see it, it's a win win.

You know if I was coaching Tampa Bay instead of Jon Cooper, they'd probably be leading the Finals 2-0 . I wouldn't have had them sitting back in a 1-4. I would of kept the forecheck pressure on.

Right along with DJ Smith & Dominique Ducharme
