I keep hearing that he's a fast riser. Sleepr, though, if they have a shot at Hamilton or Murphy I think that's where they go.

I'd be fine with Murphy. He's a really fluid skater and great offensive defenseman. Keith Yandleesque if he pans out IMO.

At least he can chip in offensively, block shots, and play solid defensively. Not to mention his leadership and experience. Liles is strictly offensive-minded, and a very inconsistent player.
- LeachHextall27

I know, I love Kimmo, just not his cap hit

I'd keep Carle over JML too.

Just saying Flyers have overpaid defenseman too.

No, he'd be our sixth defenseman. The guy can't play in his own zone, and he's streaky offensively anyways.

Right, but at least they're good. I really don't get the Liles trade. He's not what they need.

Sounds alot like Carle to me.
Does Liles give the puck away a lot too? Is he soft? Can he not score?

Burke loves defenseman too much.

He is only signed for one more year, but the 4.2M eats up a lot of cap space if they want to go after one of the premier names.

Leafs supposedly had a deal for him at the TDL that fell through.

With our PP woes last year, he wouldn't be a surprise pick.

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!

Larsson said his first jersey was a Foppa Flyers sweater

seals the deal, imo

Carle is very solid in his own zone. He needs to limit his turnovers, certainly, but he's a solid, young defenseman who can contribute at both ends of the ice. You're wrong about him, like most people on these boards.

I agree. If I'm at 8, and Hamilton is there, he's probably my guy. Unless Strome is there.

Odd. I think Leafs fans need to start seriously questioning some of Burke's moves.

I haven't been a fan of his acquisitions whether it be Phaneuf, Komisarek, or Kessel.

If Murphy were even two inches taller, he could have been a candidate to go first overall. There's risk in picking him, but major offensive D upside. I wouldn't be upset if the Flyers kept the 8 and rolled the dice on him.
