Flyers 2016 Offseason

Looks like the Flyers will get the additional fourth round pick from Arizona this year for the Pronger/Gagner trade. That would make 11 picks total.

Hextall traded #18 and #79 to Winnipeg for #22 and #36.

I've watching this whole goddamn dumbass draft waiting for this pick and Hexy Magic trades it.

canes stole gauthier from hexy

that trade backfired

Flyers pick Russian center German Rubtsov. Craig Button loves him.

Craig button would love me if I was drafted i

So did McKenzie. But the same is probably true for him...

it's true of draft coverage in most leagues but nothing is more complimentary than nhl coverage

I had to laugh at McGuire verbally blowing the Flyers after the pick: "People better buckle up. The Flyers are good, and they're getting better!"

hey as long as it gives us wood

dirty little secret is that they wanted gauthier bad and if they had taken him at 18 it would have been a sick pick

ice grillin you · June 24, 2016, 10:39:17 PM

I don't even hate on the Russian it's a hockey draft who has a clue but to try and pretend hexy worked the system is a joke

he missed on his guy

Geowhizzer · June 24, 2016, 10:39:19 PM

The only thing that would give me wood at this point is a farging Cup.

And yeah, Gauthier would have been a great pick and would have met their biggest need.

They moved up 43 slots into the second round and only had to drop 4 in the first to get there. And Rubitsoft was the 15th rated player in the draft and would have been higher if it weren't for the commies in Russia giving the kids Ivan Drago pills.

They got a kid they liked and considering Hexy's track record so far, I'll trust him on this one.

I didn't watch the draft, and that's good trade value, but my buddy said after the Canes took Gauthier Hextall was dropping F bombs. To be honest this Ruski they drafted sounds like a typical Laughton type pick.

Rome · June 25, 2016, 08:57:07 AM

He definitely was. They flashed a shot of him when Gauthier was picked. That said, if he was that hellbent on getting him, he wouldn't have gambled by trading down.
