2014 Philadelphia Flyers Offseason Thread

[smeags]

nice article. gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

again though, he's not an ex-flyer so that's already a thumbs up.

[ice grillin you]

im not sixer excited but im really excited about the flyers future...love everything ive heard and read about the coach....love hextalls hinkie magic like approach thus far...love the young defenseman

now just need to infiltrate the system with some scoring talent and purge the payroll of the vinnys of the world and they will be on their way

[smeags]

yes, vinny needs to go. yesterday. farging waste of money. macdonald too but damn there is  a ton of money still on his deal.

my god look at luke schenn's deal.

[ice grillin you]

schenns deal is great....first of all its in its last year...but even if it wasnt hes only 26 i think....and its not even a big yearly numbver...i also think schenn is better than people give him credit for...he gets hated on unfairly because of the trade

i think schenn is a really good trade chip...cant really ask for a better asset than him right now...owed little money is young and is becoming a free agent

[smeags]

he farging stinks. period.

[ice grillin you]

no he doesnt...but even if you wanna believe that...pointing out his contract is dumb

[Rome]

Burp

[smeags]

no he doesnt...but even if you wanna believe that...pointing out his contract is dumb

he farging stinks. anything over league minimum is too much.

[SD]

Schenn is a sloth. He's even worse to watch live. Holmgren really farged this teams cap for the long haul.

[Rome]

Agreed.  That's why they hired Chip, II.  Hexy knows the roster is years away from being fumigated so you might as well get a guy who can learn the nuances of the pro game while they rebuilt the talent and cut away the dead brush that was left behind.

[smeags]

lol - still paying pronger. 

[ice grillin you]

not defending homer cause he indeed handed out some atrocious deals but everything will be cleaned up in the next 24 months...they are in a really bad place with exactly one deal right now and that is mcdonald...they arent the phillies who might be a decade away from competing

pronger doesnt count towards the cap so he is irrelevant unless you care aboiut uncle ed's cake

[ice grillin you]

this is strong boner medicine...

1. TRAVIS SANHEIM

Position: Defense

Age: 19 (March 29, 1996)

Drafted: 2014, Round 1 (17th overall)

2014-15 team: Calgary Hitmen (WHL)

Key stat: 83 points in 84 games, including WHL playoffs.

Scoop: No player from the 2014 draft has risen as quickly as Sanheim, who rocketed up the charts and grabbed the attention of teams in the second half of last season. He is now a bona fide, can't-miss star in the making, dazzling scouts with his deft hands and ease of movement around the ice. He was named Calgary's defenseman of the year. This winter, he likely will be one of the leaders for Team Canada at the world junior championships in Finland. Plus, he's 6-4 and still growing.

cant wait for the first four rounds of the nhl draft....way more exciting than the nba draft

i want that kid provorov so bad tonight
