for science whats the deal for karlsson in your mind? Ghost and TK?

More like Provorov, A grade prospect and a first. Not that I would do it but it's what the Senators should ask from the Flyers. Guys like Karlsson are generational IMO.

Yeah, with 2018 and '19 1sts. I wouldn't do that, though, were I Ottawa, even with Konecny's Ottawa 67 connection.

The Score suggested in a recent article that the Flyers were 1 of 3 teams who were well placed to make a deal for Karlsson because of their depth of prospects. They suggested Patrick and Hagg and a 1st. Yes, Hagg. No, really, Hagg. To be fair, they identified Provorov and Gostisbehere as untouchables from the D prospects.

You're missing our best prospect, but you have Bunnaman and Allison on there?

I just couldn't find a spot for Lehtera, though. But, seriously, whom am I missing, unless you meant Travis K? I have Frost, Lindblom, Hart, Rubtsov, Myers ... oh, and Bunnaman is on the top line because I'm sucking up to Cap'n Dave. Do you mean Strome?

You'll probably point out the obvious and I will check myself into a dementia treatment trial.

If anyone had any doubts as to how far this kids value has fallen off a cliff, here you go. A contending team just traded him away for peanuts.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Third team he’s been with in his Q career despite being a high pick in the Q draft.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

That concussion really did a number on him .

 

[FLYguy3911]

Cap dump

 

[Alex91]

The run of drafting great Q forwards is over

 

[Curufinwe]

Since the Flyers are OK with the contract limit, I don't mind that he got an ELC early and some guaranteed money before he fell off. The kid has had some rough times on and off the ice.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

If he doesn’t get sent back for an overage year he’s probably ECHL bound for most of next year. As I doubt he’ll be good enough to consistently crack the Phantoms lineup.

 

[Curufinwe]

How would you guys rate Rubtsov as a prospect against Brett Howden? He seemed like a possible choice for the Flyers at #22 in 2016, but he ended up going to Tampa at #27.

The rumour is that he asked for a trade last year and again this year. He supposedly doesn't get along with Victoriaville's head coach and it might explain his numbers. Something is wrong in Victoriaville. They were supposed to be a top team but they're in 12th place. They even acquired last year's league MVP a few weeks ago and it didn't get better.

Victo needs to get better on defense and between the pipes but they don't have much picks and/or prospects to give in return. The picks they will get for Laberge will probably be traded again.

So it could really benefit him to be moved?

He'll have the opportunity to start fresh that's for sure.

It's not like he's being sent to a bad place. Quebec is 2 points out of first place.

 

[Rebels57]

Bottom two lines? Well that's awfully optimistic. The top six must be absolutely insane.

I don't really see Couturier as the 1C long term anyway. He's proven he's more than a 3C, as most of us knew he was, but I think it's fairly likely Patrick will take that spot within a few years. Obviously we're all thrilled with how Couturier is scoring right now, but I don't think anyone expects him to keep this up. He's pacing for 79 points and 39 goals... that isn't sustainable. Patrick has the better offensive skill package so if he reaches his potential (not even his max ceiling) he should probably end up as the 1C.

Regardless, I think it's basically impossible for all those guys you mentioned to all end up on the team at once. Some will bust, some might be traded, but that's just too optimistic, in my eyes. I hope you're right, but I just don't see it.

Couturier's status as 1C will also depend on his chemistry with Giroux. If they reach a point where they are inseperable, they may end up getting the most ES ice time regardless of whether Patrick is the more effective Center on his own..unless Patrick develops equal or better chemistry with another winger like Konecny, Voracek, etc.

Live footage from the SSM-Kitchener game for those unable to watch:

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ratcliffe is back in the lineup.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Unless there is a glitch, Laberge is playing for Victoriaville and he has an assist.

Not a glitch, apparently.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Not the greatest translation. Could it have something to do with their trading window being closed?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I’m not sure but Matthew Vachon is at the rink and has made mention of him being there. I’m going to put all of my high school French into action and fail miserably at trying to ask him if he knows.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Filthy Mr Frost.

 

[Magua]

Beauty assist from MoFro. Walked Garreffa, backhand pass across the crease.

 

[Magua]

Lol. Cap'n will be thrilled with that *ahem* highlight reel Bunny goal.
