Cheesesteak Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 11 hours ago, BobbyClarkeFan16 said: I'm so torn on what I'd like to see. Part of me really wants a defense that can be deep and Yakemchuk and Elick just make so much sense. At the same time, part of me wants to see the addition of forwards with elite hockey IQ and I'd love to see Berkley Catton or Konsta Helenius at 12 and then someone like Letourneau or Eriksson at 32 and really build a smart offensive group. And now, part of me wants to see them take a guy like Eiserman, who we know has mad offensive skills, but his defense leaves something to be desired. To really complicate things, he's one of the youngest players in the draft, so maybe it's just a slight maturity issue that will be corrected with age. I mean, most young players want to score and defense isn't a priority. However, they get older and realize that defense wins championships and they buy into a defensive game. However, I'd like to see what teams would offer for 12. Maybe there's something good. I'm just ready for this to be over and to see the draft. I just hope they check with whomever they draft beforehand that they want to be a Flyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Danny: hi, player X, this is Danny Briere of the Philadelphia Flyers. We think you'd be a perfect fit for the culture of the Philadelphia Flyers. How's your core muscles? Never mind. Would you be willing to come to Philly if we drafted you? Player X: nah, I'm good. Danny: F###! That's what the last seven guys said! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, if the Flyers get the 11th for fricken Laughton, I'm good with your first thought of 2 decent players, a forward and a defenseman and pick again at 29. One of them has to make it without core muscle surgery, a boating accident, a sports car accident, Visa issues, or dying to play in Utah problems, right? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Overheard on tour at the Flyers training facility Danny Briere: here we have our best in class medical treatment and training facilities Visitor: who are they? Danny Briere; oh, yeah, people have a hard time recognizing our players without gear. They're some of our best players and prospects. Visitor: what are they doing? Danny Briere: they're waiting for their core muscle surgery. Everyone here gets at least one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike with Voracek, I was actually an Atkinson fan. Sadly, he just no longer has it (whatever "it" is). It's sad. Your statement is wrong. Just because of my strong dislike for Voracek I had to post my tepid defense of Atkinson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets have a foot in the door of the playoffs they've already wasted 9 years of Hell Boy's career 4 of the last in his prime. He'll be 37 at the end of his contract if they don't think they can win within the next 3 years they might as well just blow it up then. Cam might win a RW spot on their club in the bottom 6. I'd pick up 50% of his contract to help ease that along unless they want to discuss something more around Perfetti coming back i'd listen. if not i appreciate the business finding a spot for Cam...for whatever you want back 5th or 6th rounder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant from the weather standpoint. After about 20 games when Atkinson has no goals, he can enjoy the nice weather in SJ, rather than freeze his sack off in a place like Winnipeg. SJ is not quite the shathole that LA and SF have become. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
