Bill any thoughts, insight, or info on the big Russian goalie they took in the 7th rd?

Very true!

As it sits now, we have 18 picks in the next two drafts. You have to think Streit gets another one or two at some point.

I'm gonna try and get to the camp next Thursday

Something to be said that laughton is attending but not cousins ?

The 2015 camp features arguably the most impressive array of NHL prospects the Flyers have assembled in many years. It features the likes of 2015 first-round picks Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny among its first time attendees. Returning players include 2014 first-round pick Travis Sanheim, 2013 first-round pick Samuel Morin, Phantoms second-year players Scott Laughton, Shayne Gostisbehere Robert Hägg and Anthony Stolarz as well as 2014 second-round pick Nicolas Aube-Kubel and emerging Swedish power forward Oskar Lindblom.

We are going to see some great hockey at this camp. I am excited to attend.

It's really amazing how quickly a depleted system can get back on track after a couple of strong drafts with a lot of picks.

Cousins is no longer a prospect. He will likely be attending rookie camp.

Add Fazleev to that list, too.

martel?

Martin St. Louis's retirement hits home for both Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards, just spoke with both. All three remained close pals

I wanna keep talking Sixers and Holy Potatoes!

Hopefully Vinny takes the hint.

Is Michael Parks gonna get signed?

Finally starting to recover from Homer's disastrous moves as GM of the Flyers...

When was the last time the Flyers had so many quality prospects? Serious question. Can anyone think back to a time that rivals or surpassed the expectations of the current crop.

I hope he finds a better situation with another team and finishes strong.

Probably when the Phantoms won the Calder Cup w/ Richie, Sharp, Carts, Umby, Seidenberg, Nitty, Pitkanen, RANDY JONES etc.

If he really thought it was the coach last year and not him, he simply hasn't accepted where he is. He just isn't there

It's too bad -- it's fine to want the money he is owed, too. It's just unfortunate that he can't really do much of anything at the NHL level to earn it

I question whether the Flyers have ever had so many solid prospects since they almost always used picks to acquire players and built through free agency since money was never an issue for them until fairly recently.

probably the 2003 draft class as that had a lot of quality prospects.

woywitka, sharp, Seidenberg, pitkannen in the system
