Is Kravtsov worth 14? Pretty impressive playoff for a teenager.

I'm assuming Farabee is off the board then...Yes, gimme.

Also why isn't anyone being a smartass and asking Bill "dO yOu wORk iN teH NhL?!" when he says teams at the top of the draft aren't the market for Simmonds. At all.

I dunno man I'm just asking questions.

because it's just his opinion.

Can we all agree that Boqvist is at least the sexiest prospect in the draft?

I never said he wasn't

Some people just look for fights. That's the reason

Not going to lie, I will cry in my beer if Wayne Simmonds is traded. I understand the reasons behind it if this happens, but man, it will be tough to take. He’s a perfect Flyer and my favorite player.

I walked around like a zombie for a few hours when Mike Richards was traded.

The Sporting News has Ty Smith dropping to 14 and Philly picking him. There isn't much chance he drops this low is there, but if he does that is the pick is it not?
- Daceroni

If Smith is on the board at 14, you run to the podium and take him. He is a short, but solidly built all situations Dman that could turn out to be a player very similar to Kimmo Timonen if he reaches his potential. Worst case, he’s a solid 2nd pair guy that plays on the 2nd pp unit and kills penalties

I felt the same way about Cliff Lee

I feel the same way about Ghost.

I have a bad feeling today Marc and it starts right after that number 9 pick.

seems like reputable sources saying nino/zucker/coyle deals would require ennis as a throw in. I am 100% for that. Use the cap space as leverage to sweeten trades. ugh this makes me all hot and bothered

I had those kinds of feelings when the Flyers traded Tocchet then I heard Recchi was coming back. I remember the day it happened like yesterday, I ran across the street from a friends house and pretty sure I cleared a moving car in excitement.

This is an hour old, but could the Flyers be working this one?

We can add another Senator to the list. #Sens are working with agent Justin Duberman to try and find a potential new home for G Craig Anderson. Nothing imminent. He has two years left at $4.75M and, oddly, has been statistically excellent every other season for last number of yrs

agree...It will not be a good day if Simmonds is shipped out....they are already soft. I too was disappointed when Richards was dealt....Had just bought my kid a Richards jersey....

I almost feel like if the made a move for Anderson it would either include Elliott going to Ottawa or Zack Smith being attached to Anderson in the deal.

Just a feeling.

Hmmmmm. It’s interesting. That is going to be a hard, hard sell to the fan base
- Just5



Kind of just something I feel. I know it would hurt but i also know the real time frame isn't next year. It starts the follwoing year after you probably have a better read on Harts timeline since he would have completed his first pro year.
