Just call me the Floridelphia Flying Panthers at this point.

Give me defenceman Alex Petrovic

He's a solid 3rd Pairing guy who isn't that great when it comes to scoring but I have a bunch of scoring D already. Good defensively and I need guys on the PK.

And a smart pick it was.


I'll take filpula. He can kill it in my bottom six, show the kids a thing or two, and slot up if peeps get hurt or suck. I'm also pretty sure he has 2 Ps in his name but whatever.
Can someone do the spreadsheet thing for me?

Filppula is good and I was considering him but instead I wanted to ensure that I can make the Most Hated Line In Hockey. So far its got

X - Ryan White - Andrew Shaw

And I have a very good idea who that left winger is going to be. :unsmigghh:

Kunitz-E Staal-Hartnell

Sekera-Subban
B Smith-Pietrangelo

Bobrovsky



three scoring lines, two of them pretty fast, a defensive top 4 that can all move the puck, and one of the best goalies in the world. I feel pretty good about this

I wouldn't call Bob one of the best goalies in the world, and I'm not digging your wingers a ton, but man that's some killer D and centre depth.

Ignoring last year, which was an abnormally bad performance, he put up .932 over the previous 3 years at even strength; the only two goalies who posted better were Price and Rask. Including last year in the past 3 years his save percentage at evens is still .926 which is respectable (albeit overpaid). While his contract is expensive he's only signed through the next 3 years which is pretty good as it gets us through his prime

Don't worry, I've got a plan.

The goalies left are poo poo and we're getting to the point where I don't know any of these loving players. I guess I'll have to go back to the goalie well next round. I'll take Roberto Luongo as my win now guy but that surgery makes me nervous.

My goaltending is going to be garbage so I guess I'm just going to go with high risk/high reward garbage.

You would have thought I, having the Flyers and being a Flyers fan, would have taken a player who plays for the Flyers. Hell, even one that used to. Well I guess it was only a matter of time. The Flyers select RW Matt Read

Read was really good in the early part of his career, but the last two year he's been kind of underwhelming. Despite that, he's always had good possession stats and he did manage double digit goals last year. The nice thing about Read is that he is quite versatile and should be a decent contributor on both the 3rd line and the PK.

Eriksson - Stamkos - R. Smith
Fiala - Trocheck - Donskoi
Arvidsson - Grigorenko - Read

Barrie - Klefbom
C. Murphy - R. Murray
Petrovic - ???????

He's going to be 36, which might have something to do with it. That said, I probably would have taken him if you hadn't nabbed him first.

yeah I had ward on my radar too, as said before his possession stats are kinda mediocre though so that made me bump him down a bit. If he lasted a bit longer I wouldn't have had any issue taking him for 4th line duties though, he's a useful guy to have around

It is a solid mix of good players, hot young centers, players I have no opinions of named Miller, and giant boat anchor contracts.
