now is the time for the deepest prospect pool in the NHL to promote itself to the big time and give us all, and Philadelphia, the big win!
We should all chip in and bet on the Flyers for the next 4 years to win it all. Win, and then leave these boards behind...

I hate this team
Chyna is/was the 9th wonder of the world
I can honestly say, when I read his post, that was my exact thought.

My brother and I were thinking the same. Bet every year as it seems likely to happen. Pretty great timing for me to finally have season tickets that I've waited forever for too.
I was listening to Preston and Steve this am. They had Elliot on welcoming him to philly. Elliot specifically said one of the things that made Philly a spot he'd consider was knowing G, Jake and simmer. I say this because of some reactions on the main board to this signing. He is a good goalie and the best available. It sounded like he had several options. He himself said last year was rough with a new baby which I can relate to. He'll be a top 15 goalie this year.

I have a 13 month old now and I still havent adapted. Always tired. Harder to focus. Etc. Not surprised that both Elliott and Mason saw their play slip with newborns in the equation.

That nickname goes all the way back to a regional Canadian promotion in the early 70s, when he was still called Jean Ferre.

Chyna is/was the 9th wonder of the world
Was, she passed away in late 2016/early 2017. Had to sue Vincent to be called Chyna, The Rock is an exception of a wrestler keeping the gimmick name after wrestling. Did porn for a bit. Crazy life, young'ish death.

Oh I know, I was a huge wrestling fan back then.
As I said, when I read your post saying that, my mind went to the WWE marketing Chyna as the "NINTH" wonder of the world.

Hypothetical, if Dr Dre wants too much from Edmonton would you trade Couts as a main piece going back? This hypothetical is for next season

Gotta send a top end D, if Myers looking promising, it could be him.
I don't think Hextall wants to part with Sanheim, like at all.
Also, with the addition of Patrick the need for a potential 1C isn't as great. Puts Hextall is a better situation.

Agreed. Hextall would have the leverage which leads me to believe the Drai would be shipped elsewhere to someone more desperate.

I'd think so. There will be teams much more in line to play that game with Edmonton, now whether they have the bullets, that would remain to be seen.
Like Detroit would probably be heavy in that bidding war, but what exactly does Detroit have as far as prospects go?
Prongo

Exactly. It's not about leverage or anything of that nature.
We have the pieces that would be most appealing I believe to them. High end defensive prospects plus a shut down center who excels at stopping top lines.
Was only a thought. Center depth of
Drai
Giroux
Patrick
That would look damn good. Especially with the top prospects we still have developing.

It wouldn't be quite as impressive as Crosby/Malkin, those guys are in another league, but if Patrick develops to a 70 pt player, Draisitl and Patrick would be an absolute nightmare pairing for a decade.

Pair that with the fact that Crosby and malkin are also getting up in age and it could set us up perfectly in the future.

5 of the top 13 forwards from last season are no longer on the roster. The forward situation in 17-18 should be very interesting.

Pretty excited about this. So much dead weight gone. Can't wait to get rid of Horse face and Matt Read.
