He lead the USHL in points this season. Not the biggest guy, but he should fill in and be NHL ready within two years.

Maybe, I said one of these



That wouldnt be stupid, you take the best player and then if he develops into what you hoped he would you're just happy to have the problem to have too many good players at the same position.

We also need an offensive threat for a first line, cause we need someone to bring a spark (imo). Couts is not that guy. Schenn is definately better at RW so I hope Berube or who ever coaches them next year keeps him there.

@and yea we're actually in a great position

im not happy having too many centers as is why would i be happy with another one?
we dont need a #1 center we have giroux and couts is developing into a good shutdown 2c
we got like white schenn vinny all playing wing becasue we have shit for wingers and there centers

literally like half the roster is centers and our ahl call ups/top forward prospects? laughton and cousins both also centers
thats what you get drafting the best player available yes sometimes its a good idea but when you already have a bazillion centers if its not mcdavid or eichel imo pass trade down or something even trade for 8th 9th 10th +a 3rd or something

thats not how you should think. You dont say no to a number 2 Giroux in your team... because you have "too many" of that position, you just deal with the fact later on

yeah if that was the case hextall would be dealing with the fact but were currently not doing shit about it from what it seems so id rather not just add to an already fucked up situation

Philly already has a young team going forward. I don't believe the concept of picking the best player available is good for them right now. Unless Hanifin somehow falls, they need a winger. More specifically a left winger. Raffl and Bellemare are their only true left wingers in the lineup right now, and Noebels and Leier are their only prospects capable of making the leap into that position. With where they're picking in the draft there would be a top skilled LW available that fits this need.

and hextall already said he doesnt want to trade young players and have them develop into a patrick sharp or something so were pretty much sticking with the bazillion centers we got +FA and what we develop
dont really see a top 6 lw going into FA and if they do flyers wont be able to compete unless we somehow dump the shitty contracts we have so best bet is develop one

you guys think giroux was the right choice for the C?
he leads the team on the ice but in the lockerrom it sounds like it was mostly other guys like timo and stuff
iirc streit was a c on the isles? seems like leadership in the room is an issue which is weird with the players we have

even voracek on the interview on flyers site said timo gone is what he feels was missing in the room

+ since given the c his offense seems to have went down slightly like hes trying to focus more on other things like better D to lead by example sorta deal

That is so overrated and is brought up everytime a team doesn't win. Not like they can go back on the decision now. Can't have a situation like the Sharks...

yeah in the long term i think it will be the right choice but i think hextall needs to try and bring in a great leadership guy and maybe throw an A on him like timo had but thats hard for new guys
and g getting the C was kind of a rush move with pronger going down you got this emerging star goin hard in the playoffs
mason at times seems really unhappy cuz of the losing and then they go and fire reeser on him
even the vinny drama now with berube and i dont think hes the only person unhappy with berube

im feelin this team on the inside is a shit show atm hextalls trying to calm the storm and hes got a big fuckin storm to calm
leadership issue is prob back to hartsy being dealt timo coburn thats a lot of vet guys that have been a flyer for a long time and had say

we got til 16/17 to be a winning team or mase prob walks or gets traded at the deadline and if stolarz doesnt develop or we land a solid overseas goalie were bakc to where we always are
