Adamflyers Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Don't know much about him, but this was an entertaining clip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earle'sGaffe Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I had to wonder when they noted that Morin "should be a good NHL player in 4-5 years." Whereas they admitted that Risto is "nearly NHL ready." Edited June 30, 2013 by Earle'sGaffe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 They are matching up how the Flyers draft defenseman. Flyers can't develop any so Morin fits them perfectly, a project that has little chance of developing into a all star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 @Vincent05 Morin is just a raw talent with size and a huge upside. Raw being the key word. He could end up being a bust. He could end up being the best defenceman in the draft. Quite a reach at #11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 yeah I didn't understand that choice at all. For weeks now - much longer for many of you - we've heard the big names, we know who the likely top 5, top 10 are and Risto's name appears in those analysis most of the time. Why what's-his-name picked Morin ... he hardly explained himself....or maybe I should say, when he was done explaining his choice I was still confused why he didn't take Risto.

Vincent05 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 @flyercanuckExactly, why they have the Flyers taking him instead of other ready dmans that are ready. Idiots imo, everyone knows the Flyers need Guys that can help now instead of 4-5 years away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 @Vincent05 Honestly, you're not picking because a guy is NHL ready. You're picking the guy you hope turns out the best. At least you should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you should be.I could see that if management had a track record of developing talent. But frankly, how many players that the Flyers picked up five years ago are still with the team? If they draft a player that's five years away from the NHL chances are he'll be traded away before he ever contributes!

I think Holmgren does fine with his first picks in the draft...actually, better than a lot of gms. Which makes me just shake my head everytime he trades them away. Maybe he should try using his 2nds once in awhile too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 We got another Grossman/Schenn, we have no skating, puck skill or shooting skills from any of our dmen, horrible pick, if you wanted this guy ,you should have traded down. Homer is a fool, just like last year when he passed on Hamilton., This dman Morin, is a 1970s style player. Homer your a tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If nothing else, Homer drafts very well. Many here bitched about Laughton over Maata, and still sometimes Couturier over Hamilton. How about a little faith and trust? I guarantee he knows more than all of us fans.At least it wasn't Domi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 @RonJeremyThe guy can skate. His stock was the fastest rising in hte draft. That's a good thing. He's a reach. So was Giroux. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I still think a guy like Pulock is more of what we needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJeremy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Pulock is more than just a slapshot and a big guy that fights does not make an NHL player, see Garret Klotz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumpi Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) maybe Jeremy should apply as an NHL scouthe seems to know a great deal about these prospects Edited July 1, 2013 by hf101 removed flaming content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 A slapshot does not make a NHL defenseman, exclusively.Homer needs one to his noggins. By the time Morin makes it to the Flyers we probably stinks anyways and will trade him to rebuild or should I say retool yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Am I the only on that remembers we signed Streit? Puck moving defenseman - check. Big slap shot - check. PP quarterback - check. Relax people... Jesus christian you can't have 6 puck moving defensemen and you need stay at home types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax people... Jesus christian you can't have 6 puck moving defensemen and you need stay at home types.I agree with you we can't have 6 puck moving defenseman but do we have any in our pipeline? We need to draft offense skill guys, these defensive defenseman are easier to get in the FA market. Tired of them drafting these types of guys with huge potential. Rememer Coburn? Look where he is now. Kevin Marshall and MA Bourdon also. I do hope we are wrong on Morin but history of the Flyers developing these guys are not on our side let alone patience to wait for them to develop. We all are tired of watching them sign over the hill puck moving defenseman here or wouldn't want them to overpay for one in a trade.

RonJeremy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 @Murry Craven ,our puck moving dman is 35, how about getting a young puck mover? Im not confident when you two offensive guys Timmo and Streit are old fossils. The plan here would be, draft a guy like Pulock ,then when Streit retires , Pulock steps in, all we did was prolong the inevitable once again by not drafting a skill dman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 By the time Morin gets to the big club Gus will be in the NHL for 3 years... Maybe I am higher on Gus than most but this pick is a few years away. Trying to predict the future with this or any team in terms of trades is like trying to figure out the fibonacci sequence in relation to astro physics... You keep basing everything on this year... You as well as I have no idea what is going to happen. All I know is they hose a kid that is huge, can skate very well and plays with an edge... Will it turn out to be a good pick? Maybe and maybe not but Pulock is no more of a guarantee. Most scouts think he has hit his cap in terms of being a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
