Flyers Want to Get to #3

you can officially add them. I was just told two solid prospects (One forward, one D-man) plus #7 in play.

God damnit just (frank)ing stay at #7 and take what you can get. Hextall has been good about keeping our prospects, I really hope he doesn't give any up at this point. There are still gonna be so many (frank)ing good prospects at #7. If we don't get provorov, take werenski if he's still all stuck on getting a dman. I'd personally like to see him take a skilled power forward. Kyle connor, Mikko Rantanen, timo mier, even crouse I'd be happy with even though I don't think he's as skilled as those others.

Inevitable.

Side note: today is the first day I'm glad that quoting from the first page doesn't work. Saved me from myself.

I can certainly see that happening, but they were highly motivated to move Legwand's cash...did get the 21st...yeah, Lehner could terrorize them, but if you gotta dump the cash, sometimes you gotta swallow hard

Those concussion woes...I never saw Lehner got cleared. Last thing I read was that he was still having issues. Was it recent when he got cleared?

Yes, I could Google it

Hmm, I thought it was supposed to take 7 + Simmonds or Couturier to get to 3?

I don't necessarily believe it because, as was noted by Bill, people tell their truths during this time

But I could see them floating a name or two to see what it would take, especially if you believe they tried to do it last year

fleeced? no way. got rid of a bad contract and an unproven injured goalie for a 1st in a deep draft. excellent move imo. very excellent

Agreed: Not quite the prize, but they might really like somebody -- this has always felt like one of those drafts where the skill level or what somebody projects a kid to be might make them move

The league just feels so different, because the cap impacts everything you do, teams hold young players hostage, and nobody you want gets to unrestricted free agency and teams aren't aggressive enough with offer sheets

To me, you almost have to do stuff in the draft anymore, because you almost can't get players you might want any other time

Robin Lehner heading to BUF. Sounds like Lehner and Legwand to BUF for 21st pick. Pending trade call. Not official yet.

Good morning

- AllInForFlyers


I was hoping Hexy could get Lehner to back up Mase.

If one of the guys this year that are between 3-7 were in last year, might they be the #1 pick?

I guess it's because I feel confident that Lehner's gonna end up being a top-15 goalie... handing a division rival that's about to get Jack Eichel the biggest missing piece in their cupboard is gonna come back to bite them hard.
