I'd take Landeskog right after Larsson...6'3" 220lb possible top pair, franchise defenseman trumps very good forward with grit and heart
- Jsaquella

Also there is serious concern that Landeskog will not continue to develop.. or has reached his peak.

Pronger and Timonen are 346 years old. Larsson makes more sense.

I see what you did there! Verry cool! Kimmo is 34, and Prongs is 36, so 346! Niicee! But Larsson likes J-Biebs & Landeskog weas meant to put on a Philly uni! You need em both!

Liles trade scoop was delivered almost accidentally. I had written the story and saved it. Dropped phone and the impact activated send. Lol

Well that happens if we DON'T TRADE VERSTEEG! Getter done Homer, and hurry up you piece of crap that tarded our entire franchise away!
- FLYERSROCK!


They can trade Versteeg and sign Gagne as a free agent. No need for offense. They need to get a great young defenseman. Now, if Larsson is gone and it's Landeskog and Hamilton, I would go Landeskog.

JM Liles is a pretty big cap hit I believe 4.2M. And he had a limited NTC per capgeek

Simple solution...

Tarde Versteeg and the 8th to florida for the 3rd. Tarde Bob and our 1st and 2nds next year for the 2nd from the Avs

I still take Larsson.
- Jsaquella


I would take whoever is supposed to be better. Im not sure who is when you compare Larsson vs Landeskog. I wouldnt take larsson just because the D is aging, take him because he is the better talent. The flyers D will need to be addressed in the next few years, but there are other ways they can do that.

You may completely agree with this because Larsson is the better player, maybe you dont, just my opinion.

Larsson is felt to have the higher upside. Landeskog is felt to be most NHL ready guy in draft, but concern is that he doesn't have the upside.

If I'm picking in top three, I want the guy with massive upside over guy who is "safer" pick. Both guys are safe, Larsson could be absolute beast.

"With the 8th pick in the draft, the Flyers.... wait, they have a first round pick?"

(the place blows up) and we never find out who they would have taken.
