my prediction is flyers end up with 2 first round picks, and one being either larrson or landskog...also hartnell and versteeg to either florida or edmonton for there 1st pick.

At this point, you can't trade Hartnell. You can't ship out Hartnell and Versteeg and leave the offense strapped to one veteran in Briere. Not to mention, it would be very comforting to know the Hatnell-Briere-Leino combo is still in tact if they choose to go back to it. I HIGHLY doubt Hartnell gets moved. Then again, who the EFF knows anymore!

We are still very much a contendor. Last year Carter, Richards and Lieno combined for 78 goals. Giroux had 25, Jvr 21, Versteeg 7. That comes to a total of 131 goals.

Last year Schenn had 0, Vorachek 14, Simmonds 14.

If Versteeg stays, he could score 22 goals. Realistically with a full season Schenn will have around 15 goals. Lets assume the rest of the team stays the same production wise.... In order to match the goal totals from the previous year Giroux, JVR, Simmonds, and Vorachek would only have to score 5 more goals this season this year then they did last year, and now they are back to having 131 goals.

But thats not all. Now you have a goalie that could realistically cut down your goals against by .25 per game... thats an additional 21 goals net... And with the team as it is, we would have 5 million to add more depth players... like Leino, Cole, or Gagne.

So I still think that we are a Contendor. I would even go as far to say that now without the division in the lockerroom and with the players on the same page as the coach, and with the goaltending, we have a better shot.

Noise on twitter that the Flyers might be dangling Bob as bait to pull a Jeffersons in the first round.

With Colorado sitting at #2, makes sense.

What do you guys think of the rumored deal of Versteeg and the 8th to Florida for the 3rd to get Landeskog? The big picture situation would end up...

Richards, Carter, Versteeg

for

Bryzgalov, Voracek, Landeskog, Simmonds, Schenn, 2nd (2012), 3rd (2011)


Would be an interesting move. Working from the back out with goaltending and defense the clear cut strengths and MAJOR BIG TIME potential up top with a slew of big time young talent in Giroux, JvR, Schenn, Landeskog, Voracek, Simmonds and veterans in Briere, Hartnell and whoever else they decide to bring in via free agency (hopefully Cole and Laich!)


Might be getting caught up in the slew of young talent, but I love watching kids develop and become players and it would be great to have all these young bluechip players
