"He might, but the fact that I've never heard him mention him even once, leads me to believ that they don't thikn as highly of him as they do Kane, Turris, Voracek and Cherpanov. I doubt that one under-18 tourney is going to make have them vault JVR over at least 3 of the four previously mentioned."
I've never seen such a naive post come from you. Why would Holmgren (we're not talking about the egomaniac Clarke, here) signal whom the Flyers are interested in? Holmgren has made general comments about a lot of different players. I recall no mention of Voracek and took that as a likely indication that the Flyers might be interested and were steering any observer towards others. But I find it remarkable that you think Holmgren's failure to mention any player would be a telltale of lack of interest. I agree Van Reimsdyk is probably down on the list. But Holmgren has not proven himself to be an idiot and it would be truly dumb either before or after the lottery determination for the Flyers to tell others what they have in mind.
