Flyers 2015 offseason following Draft

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Mod's note: We'll consider this thread a post-draft recap and discussion. Here is the prior thread: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?p=104387081#post104387081

--------------------------------------------------

Hextall, got alot at the Draft. As happy as I am with the players we got, we still have to assemble a roster for this year.

Now that Draft is complete, how do you see Hextall attacking the next phase.

I believe july 2 Vinny will be gone, some trades or cuts will be made to free up cap.


Bottom line after we make many moves as I see anticipated, who should we sign?

Do any of the future guys have a shot at making this year's club? Morin.

Does Sanheim have a shot?

Be interesting to see what team hextall puts for this year.

To be honest with you, hextall is reminding me of Hinkie, meaning he wants to assemble a championship team from in house, if he can get a great player in free agent or trade and it makes sense so be it. But his first choice is in house.

He wants to draft, develop, promote. Even if it means we don't have a good record this year. Now I don't think we will have to wait as long as hinkie does with sixers.

But both hextall and hinkie, have similar ways of building a team.

Did they change the rule where you don't retain guys' rights anymore?

there still is a time frame to do so before you sign or lose their right, correct??

 

[King Forsberg]

Would have liked to see some late round flyers on some Russians. Guys like Sharov, Piagin, Gavrikov. All in all, walking away with Provorov and Konecny is still great.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Oh no, we are running out of time to trade a defenseman!

Yes. 4 years in most cases. 2 years for CHL guys. Unless they changed the rule it extends beyond 4 years for Russians (and I think Czechs too).

Friedman and Alt are still the only RH prospects in the system. I don't see drafting another defenseman as a problem. Again, not complaining, just would have liked to have added another guy to the pipeline later in the draft considering we had 9 picks.

 

[GKJ]

Looks like Hextall isn't trying to waste any time on that front, either.

 

[Tedeward]

Nathan Noel goes undrafted

 

[Random Forest]

Nathan Noel is free to be signed now, correct?


Eight Saint John players got drafted. Noel, their leading scorer, was not one of them. That must be a strange feeling.

 

[FLYguy3911]

yurp.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Nathan Noel goes undrafted

He can sign with us, but who is he?

 

[Tedeward]

He can sign with us, but who is he?

A while back he was a projected first rounder. Was selected 3rd overall in the QMJHL draft in 2013. 62 points in 66 games this year.

 

[GKJ]

Maybe they thought he was Nerlens Noel and got confused

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Tyler Soy was undrafted as well.

Great move, we need a new goalie coach. If this guy helped develop Quick, I welcome what he has to say.



But With all these goalies we have now, and I mean overall in phantoms, etc.

As of right now Mason I guess will still go for us, but who is gonna back him up.

In a weird way, even when hextall does free up some cap space, should we spend it?

It sounds like he is willing to wait for his assets to develop.

Yes, hextall still has to put a club together for this year, so we have something to watch, but It seems it will be a while before we have real shot to challenge for the cup.

So hextall knowing that I wonder if hes thinking where he doesn't need to sign that big name and spend all of our money. I say he gets some one who can do the job. Then in a year or so when some assets are ready, then go out and sign talent.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He can sign with us, but who is he?

It was a short breath, but he was once mentioned along with McDavid a few years back.

 

[Les Averman]

I'm excited. Defensive prospect pool looks great. Filled up on goalies. You have to imagine that next year we'll be focused on offense in the draft. Should have a slew of picks with all our picks as well as Chicago's 2nd. I'm sure we'll pick up a few extras when we try to dump guys like Schenn, Grossman, AMac (unlikely), RJ (unlikely) and Vinny (unlikely). I imagine at least one of MDZ or Streit will be moved at the deadline for a nice haul.

Ted, by the way I did see TED 2 yesterday very funny. But we gotta somehow give you a tool to alert hextall to sign the guy.

maybe you could be the annyomus HFboards flyers Raw general manager.

 

[GKJ]

No 4th liners or prep schoolers.

The Old Boys Club really is dead.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Appleby and Papirny were 2 goalies I thought would be picked as overagers.

 

[Ryker]

Sanheim-Provorov
Morin-Gostisbehere
Hagg-Friedman
Willcox
Vasiliev

Why is everyone always forgetting Marti?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

It's early so things can easily change but next year looks like the forward quality will be deeper. I think their goal was just to build depth upfront & in the net which is why outside of Provorov we didn't see a defensemen selection.

I think you'll see them go back to adding defensive depth next year. They'll have a better understanding of where some guys stand & you'll have more space between them.

and no more drafting worthless goons either.
its about time they got with the program.

The Canadian D-man will be coming back next year too.
