you sell yourself short, sir.

Seriously. Jsaq comes off as more of a Darth Maul: dark, mysterious, at times ruthless, horny, and you miss him when he's gone. Though, when he's abruptly cut down in size, you clap and eat popcorn.

Schenn sounded like he won a date with Jessica Alba with a guaranteed rogering session

I haven't been this stoked for a draft since JVR's @ #2.

I really hope they Flyers get a big shut down third line center before its all done.

I love Giroux, and Briere is money in the playoffs, but they are going to need more help with defensive match ups now with teams like Pitt, Wash, Tampa, and Boston.

yes but I dont think he necessarily takes a hometown discount to play there.

Any sound bytes or quotes on the guys coming to Philly in the deals around? I only heard Richards pouting.

I had to look up "draft" in the dictionary, just to refresh my memory.

It really is. The one issue that was the most divided was his skating, of course. One guy felt he was a little choppy, the other guy didn't like how he transitioned his body positioning in close quarters. Really different views, though
- Jsaquella



Yeah, I've seen scouting reports on Voracek that claim he's an "explosive" skater, but then I've seen clips of him where he looks like Steve Downie trying to get his train going.

XM interviewed Brayden Schenn about an hour after the deal, he sounded ecstatic.

Thats why I really think they wont be able to re-sign Stamkos. Stamkos in the Flyers crest would be a dream come true.

Yep. He's a bit of a project. I've seen moves where you see why he was taken 7th overall, and then others where he looks like a slightly more sober Hartnell.

nor do I. He would benefit with stay in TB around Vinny and Marty or coming to Philly and playing with Claude and Danny. They can dish him the puck and he can snipe the 50 goals a season

Who the hell will get him the puck in Toronto? Kessel?

They should have the cap room, but I think Schenn is getting every opportunity to fill that spot.

U don't take hometown discounts via Offer Sheets. It is a bidding war for their services.
