Thread: Blockbuster draft day

I don't think this deal happens either, but again it's not just for Johnny Hockey. The OP also included a 26 year old top pairing Dman on a sweetheart contract who goes by the name of TJ Brodie.</div></div>

Why give up two guys who have top pair potential on ELCs when they have the chance to draft a dynamic forward too? It's not like the Flyers completely lack guys that can play on the top line. Plus, with Myers and Gudas gone, the Flyers would have no right handed Dmen and that same situation led us to trade JvR for Luke Schenn.</div></div>

Don't get me wrong, Gaudreau could slide on the top line, as we lack dynamic top line talent. I would be shocked if Hextall pulled a deal of this magnitude after he has preached patience and building from within. Sanheim and Myers are blue chip prospects who haven't even played in the NHL yet. Add in the 1st/2nd and I think it is too much for Johnny Hockey.

Well top line guys with game changing abilities. Sure, we have the big three up front, and if they return to form, great. It's more of Hextall not pulling the trigger and that first on top of two prospects makes me agree. I don't know a whole lot about TJ Brodie except that he played with Giordano.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDang</b></div><div>No way trade goes through. Puljujarvi is worth more than the package you put together. And why is everyone so high on Anders Nilsson? This is about the fourth GM I've seen who has signed this guy. I thought he was a fringe starter? Rather play Stolarz at that point.</div></div>

someone doesn't understand sarcasm. And Nilsson is better than Neuvirth is why. I also don't know how you cna say you'd rather go with Stolarz as the starter and not have a capable backup like Nilsson...</div></div>

I understand sarcasm plenty, but regarding Nilsson over Neuwirth, that is debatable. Don't recall saying Stolarz as starter, just that I would play him as the backup to see what we have.

Out of curiosity, how do you figure Nilsson is better than Neuwirth? Neuwirth was terrible last year, granted, but, superficially, their career numbers aren't that far off.
