Flyers 2016 Offseason

[SD]

Trade Morin/Cout/pick to the Lightning for Drouin. Young winger with a ton of talent.

Really wish this would have happened at the deadline. Drouin is a friggen stud and the Lightning aren't trading him after what he's done in the playoffs.

[ice grillin you]

they were never trading him period...the whole controversy was overblown...especially with stamkos probably being gone

[SD]

They sat him the entire season until there were injuries and they were forced to play him. Why drum up a fake market for a young winger with his talent? Makes no sense.

Provorov named CHL defenseman of the year.

RIP rick.

[SD]

Draft prediction: They trade #18 and Sam Morin to move up into the top 10 of the draft...and take a forward.

[Geowhizzer]

Yeah, there's been rumblings about that for a while.   Could easy be a case of smoke=fire.

I'd love to see Morin develop and become that monster defender, but from what I've heard/read, his offensive game is lagging a bit.

[ice grillin you]

if you cant get into the top 3 in this draft its a waste to move up

and yeah morin has been a huge disappointment...not even sure how much value he has at this point

[SD]

This years draft is supposedly only slightly worse than last year and they picked two great players after 3. My hope is someone values Morin's size and sees some potential.

[ice grillin you]

but its a three player draft...not a huge gap from 4 to 18....it is deep which bodes well for them having 5 picks in the top 80

[ice grillin you]

25 years ago today the flyers drafted peter forsberg....who would of course be traded for a once in a lifetime superstar...

guess who btwn the two never won a stanley cup?

[Rome]

Buddy Ryan?
