I'm fine if they stayed but I don't mind the move up at all.

24 got TO 34, 61 and 68. I don't think that's a bad combo of deals considering who's still on the board. If I was a Leafs fan I'd be excited to see what they do with 61 and 68.

Someone without head problems. The kid has big time talent but the concussions and the fact he plays too physical for his size.

He only missed 13 games in the past two seasons.

Maybe we can unload some dead weight Dmen for some picks would still like to get bitter and tomek

I missed it earlier but curious as to the reaction here on the ryan o reilly deal

Toronto just refuses to make a pick in late first round.

Whoever they thought would still be there, got taken apparently.

They must have really liked konecky and they had the picks to be aggressive. I'm ok with this. In hexy I trust.

This mother(frank)er

they traded with columbus just to hear him again.

What did he just say?

that guy needs to announce every pick for the next 5 years.

i wouldnt give a poop if i have a 2011 cup in my pocket


hell i havent even spent a second being mad at the Phillies for this mess and their championship is 7 years ago
- Crimsoninja

Yeah... I hear you. But they have had a brutal day. They have the 2011 Cup, but 2010 was rough, and that game 6 against the Hawks giving up 2 goals in the final minute was a nut punch too.

Almost every mock draft I saw had this guy going in the top 15. I think getting him at 24 is a good move. They still have 2 thirds and 2 4th. Plus they may always make another trade to acquire more pics.

The #Flyers end up with ISS Hockey's 7th and 12th ranked players in the draft, not bad.

What channel!?

That's worse than calling India for technical support.

If they can unload one of Schenn or Grossman for a 3rd or something more I'd be crying with joy

Wait.... they just (frank)ing bailed on pick 30 for (frank)ing track and field? WTF!!!!!

They went decent pick, off the board, and WAY off the board, all while losing Hamilton and Lucic

Yowza.

For the third time- Sweeney and co. better know/see something we don't know/see, or he's toast.

Not sure what they are doing. Rebuilding I guess. Seems a bit rash they missed the playoffs last year, but they are only a few years removed from a President's Trophy and a SCF appearance.

From what Ive read, anyone who questions his skating is basically full of it?

They can rebuild in one fell swoop by trading Chara. Just don't see why they didn't
