Oops. I forgot about this thread. Anyways, Flyers fans, I feel really bad for you with the way the series has gone. That said, as gecks said earlier, your future looks scary good, and your prospects look scary good.

A good chunk of your young core is locked up long term in Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds and Couturier, who are 28, 26, 27 and 23 respectively. Your star dman is 22, and you have a ton of young players scratching the surface of the NHL, such as forwards in Scott Laughton playing 70 games, Konecny tearing up the OHL (Although I'd like to see him get an AHL season), and Leier who had a good AHL season too. Even AUbe-Kubel looks intriguing. Not to mention you have dmen like Provarov, Hagg, and Sanheim(who from first hand viewing in the WHL is sick, he also a good AHL debut too), and in net Stolarz looking like a good pick. Not that Hextall will pull the trigger, but since you still have all your picks as well as Chicago's 2nd and LAs 3rd and 6th you could potentially swing a trade to move up higher in the draft, or just rake in prospects. As a Canucks fan, I am very jealous of your position.

Holy shit, Sestito is actually still in the NHL after he got cut from the Canucks? Damn.

The dude is a wizard, I still remember that twitter exchange I had after the Lecavalier trade. Even though Vinny has been good for LA, the fact he got rid of the amount of dead weight he did still baffles me. Big fan of the work he's started to do and I'm super jealous because of it.

Wish I could say those things about Benning though. While I like his drafting, his signing of Stecher, and the trade to get Baertschi, I hate most of his other trades and his signings. The Bonino trade was terrible as he heavily overpaid, trading a 3rd for Dorsett unnecessary, he proclaims that we're getting younger and then trades Kassian for someone 5 years older than him in Prust (really, you couldnt at least get someone useful?), Lack for below market value (although that's somewhat working out), and the big one, trading Shinkaruk for Markus Granlund, a freaking awful trade. He pisses away assets like losing Corrado on waivers, and unnecessarily adding draft picks (a 5th in the Kassian trade, a 7th in the Etem trade, a 3rd in the Kesler trade). I dont hate his UFA moves as much as other Canucks fans, I'm still not thrilled that Miller was for 3 years, 2 would have been great. All I hope is that with a few prospects in college starting to look really really good (Demko, Boeser, Gaudette) he doesn't let them walk ala Justin Schultz. Sorry for ranting, a lot of Benning moves make me sad :(

I think I would want to die. Ideally, as a Canucks fan, we end up 1 or 2, but part of me would also like to see the Blue Jackets break the top 3 pushing the Oilers to either 4th or 5th, making up for the Yakupov draft lottery. It would also be funny to see the Blue Jackets trade Johansen, and then immediately draft another franchise center in Matthews. As a Canucks fan though, I want Patrik Laine.

On a non NHL note, anyone here follow the WHL?

Since you're experienced with coding it's probably not so much for you, but if anyone browsing wants to learn python, codecademy.com 's python courses arent that bad.

Not going to lie, the banter is probably the reason I'm most excited for the pre-playoffs roundtable panel

Tomm medic hype <3

On a side note I still cant decide which I prefer, the name tommunist or hobbes.

So shiki was on glops account and glop was on shikis account. It is all clear now.

Had some good tryouts so far, but always room for more! Looking for people who can play high open. Especially need pocket and scout tryouts! Cheers.

Let's go raptors!

Lucky is telling security guard stories while we watch snailed it. We're also drunk

that Richard Lewis report of freak to echo is looking more and more probable.

I've had a lot of fun so far, cant wait for the semis!

If anyone whose been watching TFTV2 has any feedback for me, I'd love to hear it!

With no Canucks or Blue Jackets in the playfofs I'm in a pretty sad place.

I'm thinking I'll pull for the miracle Panthers or the Flyers in the east, they're really the only teams I dont dislike in the playoffs, and Lou with a ring feels right. For the west probably Dallas or St. Louis, because Benn is from my hometown and Tarasenko is a stud. It would kill me to cheer for the Ducks, but at the same time I'd like to see Kesler and Bieksa get rings.

Banter, Drama, and News all in only 2 hours! Cant wait!

So according to Richard Lewis, moe will actually be involved in the NA shuffle.
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/04/07/echofox-cs-team-looking-to-make-big-change/

Basically says that echofox is keeping moe/sgares but could cut any/all of ryx/tck/a2z.

Article notes that echo has poked around on Roca (and now with him being removed from col that just adds fule)

It also suggest Freakazoid, having been both sean and moes former teammate. Would definitely further the extent of the shuffle.

I'm assuming that it will either be stealing the plans, or attempting to steal the plans. Could be totally wrong though.

I wonder if it's supposed to be a younger Tarkin?

With the Royal Guard, I'm actually thinking that might be the Emperor, looks a little too tall though.

Overall I'm excited, looks like it could be good. Curious to see if any games get made around this movie, perhaps the Visceral games one that's in development?
