For sure, I was thinking along the lines of how he's maximized his picks the past three years in the first three rounds. Thereby increasing his odds of finding a some quality kids as future Flyers. - LeftCoaster
Easier to forgive the stupid moves when you properly retool
Don't get me wrong, I'm realistic and see that the team isn't going to be staring down Crosby in June anytime soon, but I've put too much time into being a fan to give up now.

Cool emoticons though. - Slip and slap
Alright, that's cool then.
You can be a fan and not have blinders on, I think it's hilarious when people get their panties in a twist when a fan is pissed at the way the team he loves is being run. Like it doesn't take any care/passion to get that upset in the first place.
I know. I've read these boards for a long time now. Just joined the discussion. I've been part of CDC for a few years too. Taken my licks. - Slip and slap

Part of being a true fan is being realistic. When Gillis didn't start tearing it down after the first round exit against San Jose, I knew it was going to be a painful few years.
The team lost it's mojo, and needed to be taken down right to the foundation, but instead "the core" was given another couple of seasons to meander into mediocrity.
Now finally there's some new blood taking over. Just wish that WD wasn't such an assclown and chased Tryamkin away.

Yeah, I think most fans knew the decline and dark days were coming, but I think the team did a horrible job of trying to make them go away faster, they tried to delay it and ironically, all they've done is extended the window of suckage by trying to "protect the kids". Sad part is that they had more protection than actual high quality prospects.
I understand they're trying to sell the game over there and thus putting their best lineup forward, but, still doesn't excite me watching the below group of old hacks, outside of Horvat. If Boeser and Virtanen were playing I might be more interested.
Sven Baertschi - Bo Horvat - Thomas Vanek
Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Markus Granlund
Loui Eriksson - Brandon Sutter - Sam Gagner
Scottie Upshall - Alexander Burmistrov - Derek Dorsett
Alex Edler - Chris Tanev
Ben Hutton - Troy Stecher
Michael Del Zotto - Erik Gudbranson
Patrick Wiercioch
Alex Biega
Jacob Markstrom
Anders Nilsson

Cant get excited for the first game in China after months of no Canucks? Weak

But, but he's gonna block playing time from the Comets stacked forward group...they're already loaded with legit NHL prospects on that roster - Nucker101
so is a trade outta here better for us then?
Gotta weigh if you ever think he'll be in a uniform here vs what we can get for him
