I think six years of Ellis will be better than NoPa's overall career. Just surprised that a legit contender is putting so much faith in him. I made it a point to find him on the ice while watching. If not, I would not have noticed he was playing. Also, 41 is a weird number.

seems like there have been a lot of weird numbers selected the last few years....just saying.

it just sucks that we get a #2 pick and our luck he has issues. Just sucks really. Like trading for pronger only to have him go down with a freak injury.

Gonna have to dispute this. I thought the Flyers gave him every chance to succeed last year and he did nothing with it. They could have made him a healthy scratch 50 different times based on his performance, but they kept giving him ice time and PP time despite the fact that his play wasn't worthy of it. I watched a half decent amount of their game last night and I basically saw the same guy. Good riddance!

Right now NoPa is penciled in the 3C spot on Vegas, with Chandler Stephenson as their 1C, which is pretty poor if you ask me. I don't expect Patrick to light it up playing 3rd line minutes, but he has a fresh start now, so let's see what he does with it.

He also has no more excuses. Played last year no injuries. Full offseason and new team.

I'm a Democrat by default.
I am a BERNIE Bro by choice.
I do not support racism. I don't support reparations (Way Too Complicated).
I know BLM was founded by grifting Communists.
I find that the policies to gain an upper hand on the future are in the possession of the left.
Repulsicans have nothing of merit to say other than they reputedly defend personal freedoms (unless you're female) but then they always go to extremes. Anti is the mantra. Tough to see the future through the fog of their idealized past. The support for the worst POTUS of my life is another disincentive.
The same guy who wanted to actually STEAL AN ELECTION, not made-up BS. He was supposed to deliver justice, and assure the freedoms that they demand guarded? ARE THEY NUTS?
They are great at blame games and assaults on the weak. They hate the idea of not being a third world nation when it comes to social services, decent wages, intensely hating sexual differences, and incarcerating minorities. They also like violence from all indications.
They are just SO likable, eh?
There is no refuting that one party is trying (not well, but look at the intransigence of the 'LOYAL (LOL) OPPOSITION') to improve the commoners' lot while the other one is trying to dispossess them.
Don't give me capitalism, I'm not against it.
As to the smucks within the Dems, don't get me started.
I'm laden with frustration and I'm tired of explaining why.
If you differ, fine, you're a loser. We don't have to discuss it. If you think the 'I'm rubber..' argument is something I will participate in, nah.
Get your shots no matter your affiliations.

Well we can at least agree on your last line...love the line " If you differ fine your a loser" The progressives mantra. No other opinion is allowed but theirs

What are you disputing? There was nothing in my post that had anything to do with Patrick's time as a Flyer.

Look at the post I replied to. The poster said he couldn't understand why Vegas was using him as they were such as playing him on the top PP.
