NHL-affiliated prospects. Gauthier hasn't been drafted yet.
- Coleman

I know.. I was talking about guys scoring at a near GPG pace...

I've said this before, but I'm not all that big a fan (relatively) of Gauthier. He will go earlier than he should because of his size.
- Mononoke


Im not sold on him either, but there is something about having size, speed, skill, and a strong work ethic.

Kid is a pure sniper too.

He's rocking an astronomical shooting percentage at 25%+ I believe. Among goal scoring leaders in the Q, he has taken the least shots per game by a good margin. (I don't view this as a good thing. Shoot percent fluctuates too much. I like to see goal scorers get tons of shots). He scores way more goals in high danger areas than the other leaders too. Kid is an animal on the puck near the net, but he's also not great at evens, and can disappear in both ends. Not the most complete player, but he can be jaw dropping when crashing the net.

On my favorites list, he's more like mid teens. And I feel like some GM is going to select him a bit early and bypass a better player. Hope it isn't Hexy.

I'd take Dubios and McLeod ahead of Gauthier.

Me too, I don't have a personal top 10 list yet, but those 2 will be on it.

Ok, they didn't have to finish last to draft fourth. And the NBA is different in terms of talent depth. Just saying, add a few more names to your wish list or you're just going to be disappointed. But you're always disappointed so...never mind

Just back read a little...

I don't think any of those player's numbers should be retired. I'm not a fan of retiring numbers. Honor the player, not the number. That's why there is a Flyers Hall of Fame.

I like Dave Hakstol. Think he's done a pretty good job for being a rookie coach and never having coached at the NHL level.

I'd say the Flyers would win tonight, but as someone mentioned it's a give away night (bobble head), so year, it's a loss.

I miss MJL.....

It's cold out.

I'm really tired of winter already.

Somebody hold me....
