After Giroux and JVR, the Flyers have drafted HORRIBLE forwards. A bunch of guys who can't score and bring little else to the table. And with their rotating grinder of defensemen, I have no faith in Marc-A-B just like Bartulius, Jones, Picards, and Sbisa before him. The bright light seems to be Bobo The Goalie so far.

Spazcat: Yeah, where are these supposed ESPN stats that show Carcillo drawing more PIMS than he takes? I just looked, never heard of that being kept. Please post the link.

To all you "Everyone knows what guerin brings to the table" people...using that logic, I think the Flyers goaltending issues could be cleared up by bringing back Bernie Parent!!!!!
