I like Nodl's game. I'm not too impressed with Wellwood. You know who I wish never got injured? Jon Kalinski.

Even without the injury, Kalinski wasn't a likely NHL regular.

Couturier is supposedly listed at 197 pounds by the draft guys. If he can put on about 10 pounds I think he may be able to play in the NHL next season.

I will preface this by saying that I really have no idea about any of these players. Prospects are not my deal. But it does make sense to add a blue chip defensive prospect when they now have Schenn and Giroux.

I agree with you. For whatever reason the Flyers have had much more success developing forwards than D-men. They went best available. Hard to fault them with that.

because they are rotten human beings who were single-handedly destroying the organization.
- hammarby31

From and organization stand point they are mostly to be blamed. Giving and immature kid the C, and giving them both huge ass contracts.

Statin the obvious however how many goals did Nodl have in the second have of the season or that matter points rather see what we got in Wellwood not sayin dont sign nodl but like to see some new blood in the 4th line
- Slammed81


Andreas Nodl had the same amount of goals in his Rookie year as Mike Richards did.

I'm not trying to compare Nodl to Richards.

from a business standpoint and the age of your core players, why the (frank) would you trade for a future Richards and Carter, when your window to win it all is now?

I'm telling you that I think Nodl is going to be a solid NHL Winger with 20 goal potential at the high end, and is a much better player than Wellwood.

Cant play in the A. He'll go back to Drummondville, score his 100 points, and play in the WJC again.

I don't think Toronto has the players and prospects to try and get Malkin.

We should have enough cap room to sign a decent young UFA D-man. Not worried about Homer skipping one in the first round if we have a bad track record in D development.

Yea, Capgeek. Look at what the players who were drafted in that spot got last year. Although some of them still haven't signed.
