Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: 20/20 Hindsight, Ratcliffe, Win a Trek Bike or Flyers Items

Today in American History:

^Never forget the sacrifice those men made. Sad today how "men" the same age need to be coddled with safe spaces.

In regards to prospects, and this is a question aimed towards Bill and the posters who follow them much more than myself, who do you see as a late sleeper? Maybe a guy projected for the 3rd round or later who has some serious upside?

My nomination for the "People know they will be good, but they drop because" award this draft goes to:

Vitali Kravstov

Previous Winners include David Pastrnak and Matthew Barzal.

Tough to say, maybe Bulat Shafigullin out of the MHL.

Hextall and Hakstol's depth chart this season was very clear.

Provorov
Ghost
MacDonald
Hagg
Gudas
Manning
Sanheim
Morin

Only one of those 7 dmen has left.

Is it me or do depth charts not change? Anyone of Manning or Gudas could have sat near the end of the regular season and into the playoffs. Gudas never did and I wanna say Hagg was inserted in the last two games over Manning. Sanheim also never sat.

To be clear, I could be wrong. I'm fine with being wrong but Morin is a big, young, physical presence that I expect when healthy to play regularly.

I'd go with either Ilya Tsyplakov or maybe Nikita Lyschuk.

I don't expect to see much of Morin on the Flyers next year. I think I read February is his time frame to return after surgery and the rest of the year will be AHL bound getting his game back. Maybe if he makes super progress he could be called up late in the year.

Yes. God bless these men who sacrificed their lives for the future of this Country.
True heroes.

Nowadays guys the same age are still living at home with Mommy and Daddy playing video games. Pathetic losers.

No question. Stolarz and Morin took huge step backs. If both remained healthy and both continued to positively progress, you would think both would be Flyers next season. In fact, if not for Stolarz' getting hurt, you could ask whether or not we would have ever saw Alex Lyon.

He isn't waiver exempt so I think he spends a max 2 weeks in the AHL once he returns. Feb is also the late end of the spectrum (6-9 month recovery)

I'll put a vote in for one of Ratcliffe's Guelph teammates, Cam Hillis.

YuenglingJagr with the post of the day. Those men were true heroes, God bless each and every one of them.

With his recent cardiac issue, Kaut could be that guy.

I can agree with that. Reminds me a lot of Voracek with his game and was a big part of Zadina's performance during WJC.

If being offended by everything is your idea of being evolved, then its probably better they don't.

Did you just assume my evolution?!

Sounds like someone's offended that people get offended over racism and stuff.

You're evolving into a dish rag.

I'll shoot a female dog and eat them.

Grow up snowflake.

Back in my day, let me tell you we did things the right way. Not like the young folk today, who want everything handed to them. What a bunch of coddled SNOWFLAKES! Who raised this generation? Wasn’t me let me tell you. I also had nothing to do with how the world is now, no sir!

If I wanted something I just went out and got it! Picked myself up by me old bootstraps and earned it.

Ah yes the good old days. The 1950s and 60s in particular were fantastic. It was great for everyone in the entire country yessiree bob.

The "people are offended by everything" idea is just a lazy man's way of getting around trying to see things from others' perspectives.
