I don’t know if I have an issue with the pick, as much as I’m not clear on the direction of the player.

It sounds like his natural position is left wing, where he very much plays a wing style but he’ll be playing center at Boston College next season? He’s a goal scorer who hasn’t scored a lot in recent seasons? His puck handling and passing is questionable, which tells me he’s gonna need a puck handling passer to set him up maybe? I’m happy to hear he’s a hard worker because it sounds like he may have a lot to work on.

I’m always willing to give our high draft picks a chance. It’s just the discrimination of this young player I can’t keep up with.

He actually played center while the other guy(name slips me) went to the world juniors and he excelled. I'm guessing that the Flyers drafted him as a center in the ilk of a Jeff Carter type.

but you fixed it before he saw it

Do you do heavy drugs my any chance? Just asking as a very caring friend.

Oh good, so you're admitting to having man boobs? Congrats on that!

Every person has two -- I have two -- you have two -- do you look at your at yourself and puke?

Your significant other?

Boobs are not sexual -- you do understand that

What do you do if you eat chicken breast? Laugh like Beavis and Butt-Head - ahh -- uhh I'm eating a titty?

I am sure you are better than this

Wow, you must have really thought long and hard about that(a phrase you probably have never heard before). Congrats again on having man boobs.

Did Corduroy travel back in time to see your typo that you fixed before he saw it?

Please explain to a dumbass like me

I di -- two seconds -- I am a DVR it seems

we will see. its not an easy spot for him.

i dont think its completely dissimilar from the position where he was with you guys when you had peak giroux and jake and the gang. current team really isnt good enough to get over the hump and you can tell hed rather look to the future but for reasons above his head (be it ownership, fans, financial) he needs to really look towards the now. one foot in the door one foot out the door and ends up successfully going in neither direction.

im not saying the guy is a savant but i think he needs to go somewhere with lower expectations and he gets 5 years to turn a bottom feeder into a well positioned team to the future without the expectation to balance immediate returns.

that being said, ill join the lot of you on this board who want to burn him in effigy if malkin walks over something petty/insignificant.
- stayinthefnnet

Yep, sounds very familiar. Hexy wanted to do a total rebuild, but was pressured to keep the NHL team competitive by the locals. Ended up in no man's land. I'm afraid that the same fate may befall your Pens.

Trading a 24 high end player hurts for sure but they weren’t going anywhere so they decided on a rebuild not a aggressive retool.
It will be a nice comparison in the years to come to see what worked better.

The return was underwhelming.

Cap was a huge factor.

This place really used to have solid conversation in here. Been a long time since a guy like JSAQ was in here, but this place has devolved into a cesspool.

It's sincerely hilarious that MJL stirs the pot with a strong premise that is reliant on a conclusion that is in opposition to Meltzer's information. On the same day constructs calling out a poster on the premise that he doesn't know what goes on internally.

It's like they say the narcissist is the hero and the victim of every story. It's funny, however, how they tell on tell on themselves.

Dubcc had it right…Flyers gave up an almost identical package to acquire Risto! Idk if I should be laughing or crying

I have to admit. This has been a first time watching draft with no hope or real care who philly drafts or what they do. Is there a name for less than “fan”? This team has beat the “fan” out of me.

Crying since it was compounded by 1. not trading him at the deadline and 2 resigning him for term.
