Draft Grades/Reviews

Puck Daddy's Ryan Lambert, usually giddy for any chance to bash the Flyers, gives them an A-.

Philadelphia Flyers: Getting someone to take Nicklas Grossmann and the Pronger deal sure was good for Ron Hextall. Getting Ivan Provorov in the mix as well? That's a good weekend.A-

Plus we took 3 goalies who can hopefully replace the awful Steve Mason as soon as possible.

Yeah taking two goalies in the same round seems unprecedented. Does anyone know when the last time that happened was (MSE, I'm looking in your direction)? I would have been giving this draft an A easily if they went with Tomek and a skater in the third round. Sandstrom and a skater I would have been less enthused about because I'm admittedly ignorant on Sandstrom but I'd have been fine with the pick (though I probably would have whined about not taking Tomek or Vladar).
