Whoever they end up picking won't be a difference between flyers winning a cup or not, because as we all know there's no bigger obstacle for championship than our own 'no one is bigger than the team' organisation.

 

[Larry44]

The Hockey News Draft Preview has an article on the ED, suggests Kraken should take NAK over other options.

 

[Eye of Ra]

well hakestol loves robert hägg

 

[Lord Defect]

My god, if the kraken hires hakstol, and they take hagg, I can’t be a fan of the kraken but the flyers get better instantly.

 

[BritainStix]

Omg omg omg. Hagg could legit go to Kraken. Ahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Well we know for certain it's not Ghost!!!!

I'd be a huge fan of them if they did that tbh

 

[GKJ]

Robert Hagg come on down

 

[TheKingPin]

NAK

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This thread just got infinitely more interesting. Comedically, I mean.

I see where you’re going with this, but when you win a massively one sided trade, you don’t become a fan of the team that got fleeced. You chuckle and move on.

 

[flyersfan02]

I think it'll be NAK

 

[Beef Invictus]

Definitely not Samham or Ghost or Voracek getting selected now

 

[Ghosts Beer]

As I’ve been saying all along, forget about all the talk of Seattle taking JVR, Ghost, or Voracek without being paid to do it. Maybe now people will see it. It will be Hagg or Braun barring a trade.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Ugh they better take one of our big salary guys or else chuck will send a god damn 1st to take a top 6 winger off our hands. f***in moron

 

[Rebels57]

Pack your shit Robert Hägg, you are heading to Seattle!

 

[FLYguy3911]

We can debate if Hakstol should get another head coaching gig. In no way should he be given personnel responsibilities.

 

[Rebels57]

Will MacDonald get an assistant coach job or just the player development title?

Jack Johnson is free agent. Him and Haggar will make for a great matchup pairing. Imagine them with Bellemare on the ice to close out the games. McDavid and Draisatl are bound for a few 6on5 goals each.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Oh god and washes up Simmonds too. That would be amazing. Also some righty with offensive touch to put on the left just to give him no chance to score what so ever. Someone like arvidsson lol. Or Nolan Patrick that would be peak Jeff.

 

[RiskyBryzness]

Oh god, Hagg is an actual possibility now.

But it seems like JVR may be too good to pass up.

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Could you picture being one of the defensemen going there. I can already hear Haktard right now "ok, I don't want any of you leading a rush and handing the puck and make sure that when you hit the opposition's blueline, you skate back in the opposite direction as fast as you can. Defensemen aren't to be scoring in this system."

 

[Dumpster Flyers]

It's funny how everyone's so gung ho on exposing the team's top scorer over trash like Patrick.

The fact that we are going to protect Laughton over JVR is f***ing comical.
