Not really in on Stone. Not that he's not a good player but the Flyers need speed which isn't exactly a feature of Stone's game. I'd rather use the assets that it would take to get him on a different player.
Interesting. Vorachek did occur to me. The names that jumped out to me as principle focal points go as follows: A signed Stone + Anderson + pick for Konecny + Sanheim + pick, OR - Patrick + Haag + pick.
Could be way off based on how you guys value said players so I accept full criticism of allocable.
Never thought about that possibility. I mean the Devils and Lou Lam had a profile on what players would fit their system (temperment and skill-set) both NHL and AHL and it worked like a charm for them. I know Hextall tried to approach the Flyers culture and identity build similarly. Too bad Hextall was a control freak and Hakstol a dolt.....not exactly the best attributes of decision makers trying to form a team identity and culture. I mean look at Hak with Hagg...loved the dude yet the league has pretty much done away with stay at home D types.Is anyone else a little worried that all of these picks Hextall made in his time here are all cut from that same kind of cloth that Hakstol and Hex are from? The safe, non-emotional, straight and narrow types with zero flare?
With the exception of Konecny and maybe Ratcliffe...who I have no idea about really aside from his prospect profile of sometimes having a "mean streak". I have some concerns about this that it might be true.Never thought about that possibility.

It isn't very clear how much influence Hex had with Lombardi on making the final decision on draft picks in LA. I just took a look at 2008-2013 draft picks for the Kings.. and it's all making a lot of sense as to their struggles right now. There isn't one game breaking player in 6 years of draft classes. Doughty was a can't miss obviously. Schenn has been good. Other than that.. what the ****ing ****??
