Probably the bolded; or more precisely, we all grew up in an age absolutely loaded with D talent. The top D talent from the 80s, 90s and early 2000's blows away what's floating around the league right now. There was just more to be had.
I think that's extremely unlikely. Players are bigger, stronger, faster, better instructed, better conditioned, better medically treated, more scrutinized and have more access to information than in years before. Plus they are being drawn from a larger, wealthier population. There's more time, money and human effort being put into the game than two, three or four decades ago. There would have to be some set of extraordinary circumstances for all of that to result in an inferior quality of player 15-20 deep at one position.
You'll have to point those posts out to me. The objection is to tossing him into a trade on top of a roster player. The Flyers have been guilty of that for ages and it hasn't brought success.
From the first two pages:
i dont think the Flyers deal Morin or Laughton honestly. At least I wouldnt. I know that means no Max but I would rather stay the course. They are doing a good job at building up the prospect pool. I know there isnt a ton of depth yet but hopefully they are starting to get the idea they need to build it up.
Everyone recall that the Habs loved Morin at the draft and tried to trade up. I really don't want to trade that kid. We need to keep our young stockpile of defensemen.
As far as Pacioretty goes, yeah, it would be a nice piece for us to have, but I don't really see the point if we have to blow up our team as it is, or lose any defensive prospects. And I know MTL likes Morin...
god i hope they dont trade morin-i miss having a bid dman with a mean streak.mtl wants him bad,so obviously good prospect.ill be pissed if we lose him.JUST SAY NO homer.
