Part 2 2014 Flyers' Draft Talk [times and TV info in first post]

[Appleyard]

#Playoffsagone'rforConnor?

Tbf that defence would have the potential to be insane... but would be more than painful for a few years.

As long as Giroux, Voracek, and Couturier are 100% off the table I'm open minded, but nervous, about a trade as long as it isn't a ridiculous overpayment. I'd really really hope that Schenn, Simmonds, and Read are also on a no trade list, unless we clearly win the trade.

It's going to be an interesting night.

My feelings exactly.I'm certain Giroux, Voracek, and Couturier will all be Flyers at the end of the night, and open minded about any other move.

Same for me... them and Morin, Ghost and Hagg would be the guys I would say no to trading. The young D just because you know whichever one we traded if we did would go on to be the best of the bunch!

Is that JVR report from a decent source?

The latest absolute latest until the next latest update:

Pure speculation: One of my Philly guys thinks asking price from #FlaPanthers is too high for #Flyers ... They still want to move up tho

Simmonds definitely is on my list of do not *** trade. Half team structure and half fan boy reasoning

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that too, add Morin and Ghost to my 100% no trade list with Giroux, Voracek, and Couturier. Hagg would be with Schenn, Simmonds, and Read in the no trade unless overpayment list.

No, that was debunked.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Is that JVR report from a decent source?

Denials are the norm at this stage but FWIW:

Just spoke to #Leafs assistant GM Claude Loiselle, who said "nothing is going on" regarding trades. So much for JVR-to-Florida rumours.

[Coffe]

Panthers have selected Mustapha Lemieux with the first overall pick.

They want immediate help on the wing.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

My body is ready.

well then they can suck it.

 

[Appleyard]

Nylander is so Swedish it hurts.

Far too cool/teen icony/loreal advert model for my liking. He is going to spend more time in hair adverts than one ice. Can't wait until he goes bald like his dad.. Smug little ****.

Though all joking aside... he is going to be a fantastic player methinks.

 

[healthyscratch]

My body is ready.

I'm only 3 beers and one crown royal in, not quite ready.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

I am prepared for anything. read: I am 4 drinks in.

I am only 2 Belgian lagers in (Primus... far too easy to drink!) but have quite a few more at my disposal.

 

[Harold Bingo]

I'm scared. Though, in the back of my mind I think the Flyers will end up staying pat.

 

[flyershockey]

Two beers here. Obviously I need to catch up. Nervous here about them doing something dumb.

 

[healthyscratch]

@sportsnet: Tallon tells Sportsnet that he's at 80 per cent to keeping the pick.
6:08pm - 27 Jun 14

 

[Curufinwe]

Tallon loves the spotlight

 

[Phileeguy]

Bout to head down there. Will be mere feet from the draft floor. And by "mere feet" I mean about 2400. I'll be at the Phillies game.

 

[Random Forest]

I feel like Talon is 100% going to trade the pick, and is just trying to play coy right until the last minute. I'll believe the pick is gonna be traded until he starts walking to the stage.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

This reeks of a GM trying to build a false market.
