    typical dumb over pay for a veteran move by the Flyers. no reason to give him over $7 million a year for 7 years.

    I admit i don't follow Hockey like i did, but how can the Flyers pass on the best Goal scorer in the Draft(from what i read), in Paul Caufield? I do watch the World JR. Championships and i could tell he was a Natural goal scorer. Then i heard the announcers say he scored 72 Goals last year.  The D-Man (Cam York) they took also played for Team USA in this pass WC and he is good, but do the Flyers need D over a potential consistent goal scorer like Caufield? Maybe the Flyers passed because of his size?( 5' 7" 157 LB.s)

    Thoughts from those who follow the Flyers on a consistent basis.

    I hate the first round pick. You had a chance at Boldy, Caufield or Kaliyev. Boldy was my first preference and he was there for them.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Typical flyers move. Let’s pass up s goal scorer because he’s small.

    Im not sure about Caufield.  He is still a very risky pick and very 1-dimensional.  Lots of teams chose to punt on him.   

    Everyone points to Debrincat, but he has a level of nastiness that keeps him going and preserves space.  Same with Domi.  


    Kaliyev is also too risky to take at 12 or 14.  He doesnt do any particular thing well, and a huge % of his goals came on the PP.  The criticism on him is he scores many of his goals finding the empty space and taking advantage.  Those spaces don't typically exist once he leaves amateurs.  Also seems to lack intensity.


    I think if I were in the FLyers' spot there, I would have been most happy with Krebs, even though I would have to watch my team's 1st round draft choice limp up, barely able to get on the stage.

    Kaliyev taken by Kings at 33.  Stoked to see him fall there.  I liked hearing the team's comments about those "compete" questions.
    Turcotte at 5 and Bjornfot at 22.  Both look to be very good prospects.
    Hate to see your team w/3 picks in the top 33 but it is typically needed when that lines up.

    Reading on the FLyers' picks, it appears they felt they could not pass on York.
    The shooter they picked in the 2nd round is not a big guy so I don't think the pass on Caulfield was due to him being smaller.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    they would only sign him after he has had a mediocre 7-10 year career. 

    and i love that commercial

    so Holmgren fires Hextalll knowing he is * wink wink * stepping back from being President after hextall had to make up for the mess he created.  Me thinks Dave Scott might have realized that there was no good reason for Paul Holmgren to be President of this franchise and nudged him aside.   let's see how Fletcher moves this franchise along.

    I hated when they re signed Elliot.
    That Behind the Glass show on the Flyers training camp started last night. Good stuff coming from the coaching staff. I like what I heard.

    Farabee not on opening roster. what a joke this franchise is sometimes. now they are saying it is for cap reasons. maybe the reason they are always at the cap is they continually sign average or worse veterans (im looking at  you kevin hayes (7 years at 7 million a year...jeez, tyler pitlick, etc.).  they will start slowly again and bring up the kids later and be good from that point on. why wait? why are Farabee and Frost not on this team now?

    2-0! The last 5 minutes of the 1st period the Devils dominated. The Flyers took it to them the rest of the way. Nice win and that save was unreal.
