Bears repeating:

The Hurricanes have made 40 picks the last 4 years, 10 of which were top 2 rounders. They have 7 1st/2nd round picks in the next 3 drafts.
The Flyers have made 24 picks the last 4 years, 6 of which were top 2 rounders. They have 5 1st/2nd round picks in the next 3 drafts.

One team is somehow juggling Cup contending AND volume picking, while the other is juggling bottom 5-10 contending AND volume scarcity.

24-3-3 over the last 30 games. Seems decent, but I'm no expert.

And that's without getting anything from Pacioretty, who they got for nothing anyway. Boy, if a team like that acquired an extra top 40 and 70 pick in the next couple years, for one of the worst players in the league currently, that's the type of capital for a solid rental add.

Carolina juggles volume picking and contending because they find stupid GMs like Fletcher to victimize.

Mark Stone going the Coots route with his 2nd back surgery in the last year.

The lesson here: don’t be a Selke caliber elite play driver.
The lesson here is that small players are at greater risk of injury than big strong players like Couts, Stone, Morin, Patrick, etc.

Guys like TK, Frost, and Giroux just can’t handle a man’s game.

Friedman talks often about how the doctors removed a big lump of something from Stone's back in the last surgery. There's a picture of it, but Stone didn't want to make it public.

Aho and slavin have both missed time during they stretch. There was a graphic during the game last night, I think the team was 13-0-0 in those game. We’ve been getting extremely solid performances from our depth guys. Noesen is pacing for around 40 points from the fourth line/1st power play. Jalen chatfield has been filling in for Slavin next to burns and really hasn’t looked out of place.

I can, actually. A period of purgatory that only ended once Dundon bought the team.

Good thing the Flyers have avoided purgatory for a decade. Wherever would we be if our team was bad for ten years and with no end in sight?

It is truly best to keep the path they have followed and which is working so well
