Bill, why is everything so quiet... You know something... I know you know something... Give us a hint.
- youarewrong


I'm not in Minnesota, I'm in Philly. However, I can almost guarantee that a bunch of teams -- Flyers included -- are feeling out potential deals that involve moving u/down in draft. The deals aren't usually announced until start or draft or even right up until the team is on the board to make its pick.

i really hope they move up to that 3rd spot, and draft Larsson or Landeskog. Without trading Bob.

I think Murphy is going to pan out as a Rafalski or Enstrom type down the line-- worth the risk.

You wouldn't do Bob and the 8th for the 2nd? I think Colorado would, but we'll see.

It sounds like Bob could be a big trading chip today... what are the chances he remains a Flyer?

I know we have heard that Landeskog projects to maybe be a Mike Richards type of player. That of course, gets me excited.

At the same time what does Larsson project to be like?

Worst-case scenario, a Mattias Norstrom with much better wheels. Best case scenario, a franchise player.

gotta love this from Kevin Allen of USA Today:

Brayden Schenn has the potential to be a significant contributor, maybe even a future captain. Every scout in hockey likes this prospect.

He's pretty close to a can't miss, IMO.

Then I suppose I take him.

As long as his work ethic, is one of his biggest strengths, and his heart/dedication has never been in question.

If any of those have been mentioned as possible issues, I take Landeskog. No more inconsistency. Guys who give their all every shift should be the focus.

Agreed. He has all the skill, but also the determination and work ethic to be a great, possible even franchise, player.

Very interesting. Norstrom was a very good defensive d-men, if that is worst case, go up to the top 3 and get him Homer.

There is no way in hell it happens. Yzerman should be fired on the spot if it does.

I will give you my left nut if Stamkos ever leaves Tampa.
