Lol guys, dont get too excited about that 45th overall pick. Likely going to Ana for Ryan+ 6th.
I disagree with the indecision not to sign him, but it is what it is. Id rather have Bobby Ryan, and one of Dumba, Reinhart or Trouba than JVR, Read/Jake, 20th overall and Hyka.

panotch is saying that the flyers are still talking to columbus...i'd rather have #2 overall than Nash.

Homer to Howson, "Well you know I do have some extra picks laying around, wanna trade down?"

Ryan Murray.

I had a dream last night the Jake Voracek was traded to the Canes, i believe this should be labeled an (e3).

Would u rather have:

Bobby Ryan, Dumba/Reinhart/Trouba
For
JVR, Read, Bourdon, 2013 1st

OR
J.J., 2nd overall
For
JVR, Read, Bourdon, 20th

?

thats just ducky

nothing, per se, just not at 2. wouldn't be the best player available, imo.

neither -- Read is a star.

Really? Huh. Who would u rather have? Certainly dont need Galchenyuk. So Forsberg?

neither -- Read is a star.

think last year is what you'll get from matt read going forward.

really hope someone who writes about the nhl for a living had some grasp of the offseason cap.

I don't think that tweet means he doesn't. It isn't like you have room for all the disclaimers in 140 characters.

Look, i love Read. But if were getting back Ryan, i think i could accept him getting traded. Ryan would be amazing with G.

that's the problem. don't draft by need. take the best player available. especially that high. why would you leave a potential franchise forward just sitting there to take a fringe-first/good second-pair dman who may contribute a little sooner?

I think he could hit 30.

right -- but JVR and Read? who takes that extra spot.

Harnell - Giroux - Ryan
Schenn - Briere - Voracek
then what?

awfully misleading, imo. there's no such thing as LTIR in the summer. flyers have much less to spend than his tweet led on.

Wow, going all out reading French tweets? Way to be in the game.

Dream trade:

JVR, Read, Bourdon, 1st and 2nd for

Ryan, Schultz, and 6th overall.
