@frank_seravalli
Believe the #Flyers were the team most engaged with #nhljets to this point on Laine. Talks have cooled for now. Though it did involve a defenceman going to WPG, the Niskanen retirement is a nonfactor in PHI’s ability to revisit a potential Laine deal. Will they? We’ll see.

23. Philadelphia Flyers: Mavrik Bourque, C, Shawinigan-QMJHL
I’ve heard a few forwards mentioned to the Flyers. Greig is the one a lot of teams think they’ll take, but as I mentioned last week, I think that may just be connecting the fact his father scouts for the team. Bourque would make a lot of sense for them too.


he has ridly greig, who he mentions, going 22.

I believe that Bourque is a high talent player and under certain circumstances he would be a top ten pick. However he has a history with concussions. After Nolan Patrick and Pascal LaBerge, I don't know if the Flyers are itching to get into that situation.

cannot believe laine is only 22. still wouldn't give up a current flyers for him.
while ap prob wouldn't be the smartest long-term thing to do it would be wildly exciting.

Anthony SanFilippo @AntSanPhilly
I know there's been a lot of buzz around the
@NHLFlyers and possible trading for Patrik Laine. Here's what I can say that I know:
1. There was legit conversation (more than tire-kicking).
2. Things cooled, b/c of price but aren't over.
3. Surprise names could be part of a deal.

As a follow-up on the last tweet...

This is by no means a statement of guarantee that a deal will happen.

But, I'm of the belief that if it does happen, it won't be for any names any of us (including me on
@SnowTheGoalie) have discussed.

that can't be anything more than flyers fans trying to wish that into existence.

Am always pretty amazed how closely the NHL draft follows the expert rankings.

Guaranteed one of Lapierre, Zary or Perrault to be there at 23. Just take one.

Now guaranteed that 2 of them will be there.

Caps just traded right over us (24 to 22). I hate that.

Washington gives up Arizona's 3rd to move up 2 spots and jump ahead of the Flyers, takes LaPierre

P.S. it is stupid that once you make a trade you get a new clock. Just saying.

Caps take Lapierre

Picking 23 and the top ranked guy is 21!
