2010 NHL Draft, Discussion Thread: The Trades, The Picks, The Flyers Sitting Around Watching

Ah, draft day. Chris Pronger has been a Flyer for a year, and that's probably all this day means to us, really. With only the first round scheduled to go off today in Los Angeles (7 ET, Versus), the Flyers won't get a chance to walk to that podium unless they shock us all with another trade. Don't count on that.
But, think about it! Tomorrow, when nobody cares about the draft, after 88 players are already selected, the Flyers will get their moment to shine! Sigh.
We're not at the NHL Draft this year, but plenty of folks from SB Nation are. You can check in with their updates here.
We have a few Twitter feeds set up as well and those are available after the jump.
Our Flyers Twitter list can be found on the left sidebar of the site at all times, but for moments like this we like to bring 'er out in the open.
Go Flyers?

What if Oilers GM Steve Tambellni landed both Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall? He’s been working Peter Chiarelli non-stop. Still at it less than an hour before the draft. What a coup that would be.

wonder what the deal would be.

Off-topic
So, on this Hamhuis deal (or no deal), it appears that the problem is not the money or length of contract, but the potential minutes/line-played-on is:
http://www.csnphilly.com/06/25/10/Talks-Stall-Between-Flyers-Hamhuis-Agent/landing.html
So, do you think this will end well? Would Coburn be willing to go third-line?
#1 Flyers fan in England (originally from Southeastern PA)
by Orange and Black Forever on Jun 25, 2010 6:45 PM EDT reply actions
I’d say Coburn could, to continue to be a Flyer. If Hamhuis is looking at +$4mill for multiple years and wants to ask about minutes, is there something wrong with him?
New Zealand's 4th best Philadelphia Flyers fan
That struck me as odd too. Probably just a negotiating ploy.

Will be pissed if the Flyers can’t get Hamhuis signed, he’s an upgrade over Coburn and I’d rather sign Hamhuis and let Coburn walk then lose Hamhuis and resign Coburn.
I’d rather pay hamhuis 5 million a season to play solid d then pay coburn anything to play the way he did most of the regular season, coburns stats have fallen 3 straight years yet the flyers seem to hold on to him and coburns play merits him being on the 3rd d pairing in my opinion, no pp goals if I recall and the only pp goal he had in the playoffs was a fluke, pronger is the only d man who can score on our pp and timonen is a good passer on the pp, a d man who can pop in 10 pp goals a season is what is needed and a guy who can play solid d doing it.
$5mill!
A lot of those guys are overpaid, but I would see Hamhuis as more comparable to the $4mill guys than the $5 mill.
FYI, Hamhuis had 1 PP assist in his 78 game season
New Zealand's 4th best Philadelphia Flyers fan
true but he played a lot better defense then coburn did and hamhuis is simply a better defender then coburn so personally money wise I’d pay him more then coburn anyways, why a guy like coburn whose play has decreased 3 years deserves a raise is a joke. I want a defender who can defend not a guy who shows up in the playoffs after being invisible all season.
Coburn hate...
Hamhuis really didn’t play a lot of the PP in Nashville. Also, statistically there isn’t a ton of difference between the two. Coburn’s offensive play has decreased, but his defensive play has improved. I mean hate if you want to hate on the guy. But Coburn is a much better value than Hamhuis if you are signing Hamhuis at 5mil. B/c you get Coburn and Michalek for that much money. Look at Coburn’s advanced stats though, he really isn’t a terrible defender, he is a solid 4th guy.
well yeah i’d take coburn and michalek over hamhuis but i wouldn’t take coburn over hamhuis, just my opinion. I don’t hate coburn but there are just better options out there. Michalek is a guy I like if phoenix lets him slip away they will regret it.
Just heard Jackets might be talking to Edmonton about Hemsky. Not sure about that one.

As much as I like Tim Thomas I he’s not the right choice, a young talented player like Bernier is the path that needs to be taken, Pavelec or even sign Dan Ellis before trading for a older goalie who is now an overpaid backup in Boston.
Pavelec is an interesting name….

Yakko: We'd love to but the FOX censors wouldn't allow it
Ek still thinks it may happen based on what he wrote about 45 mins ago:
“The Flyers deal with Tim Thomas could be as big as a 2 for 2 swap and could happen sooner than later. If at all.”
In Latvia, they're rooting for Bartulis' team, the Filadelfijas Flaieri!
I haven’t seen a lot of rumors from Eklund come true, and isn’t the Flyers goal to get a young goalie? Thomas is 35+ I think and has a cap hit of $5mil for 3 more years. Why would you trade one of your best players for him? I would rather go with Boosh or Leighton and keep Carter and I am 100% positive Homer would too.
Here we go!

I don’t really like Fowler that much, so I’m not surprise he’s gone this far. I’d take Gromley ahead of him. I just thought Connoly would fall to the teens b/c of his injuries.

That is really surprising. I have frequently rooted for the Canes as well recently during their post-season runs, mostly because of Rod The Bod, but never have I ever not liked them nor had any ill will towards them.
Were they giving any reasons? Did something happen in a game between the Flyers and the Canes a while ago that set them off but we forget?

ok, I’ve decided that I hate the Flyers more. Hate Pronger, hate Richards, hate Carcillo…
I’ll pick the Bruins.

I don’t think he projects well defensively, but then again I haven’t seen nearly enough of him to be able to state that with a ton of confidence. I just haven’t been impressed by what I’ve watched.
Well, it’s all relative, but I like him. Not as much as Matt Calvert or Brian Boucher though.

Yeah, I mean prospects are prospects, and it’s tough to analyze. I’m just surprised with all the Fowler love. Maybe b/c he was a USA product. I just never liked his game from watching him.
And I’ll always know where everyone ranks relative to Boosh and Calvert for you.
Exactly. It’s no problem doggin on the USA guys.
Man, I’d send Homer flowers if he acquired Calvert for a reasonable price.

Summary of Rangers pick Dylan McIlrath:
“Summary: Your assessment of this guy probably depends on how you view his skating. It’s not a huge negative for me, but it’s not unreasonable to think his pivoting and backward stride are a serious red flag. But I saw a fair bit of improvement in his skating, and there should be more of that to come. I think his offense will come around and let him be at least a good #4. But even in the absolute worst case, if you have to convert him to a 3rd/4th line right wing enforcer, he’s going to be a guy that other teams wish they had.”

This was from a recent CSNPhilly article:
[Hamhuis’ Agent Wade] Arnott is believed to be seeking a four-year deal worth at least $16 million. The hangup, sources say, isn’t money or length of contract. It’s something more basic: how Hamhuis might be used as fifth defenseman, his minutes, etc.

Ellis will be cheaper then Mason and Ellis really hasn’t seen a consistent starting job, he split a lot of time with Rinne but either way Ellis and Mason are both good free agent choices. Just think Ellis has a bigger upside if given the chance. Backlund was actually pretty good in the AHL and was the main reason they had as many wins as they did. Needs another season but he’s almost NHL ready. Is Bobrovsky staying overseas or he coming over to Phantoms?
Bobrovsky is going to battle to be the Phantoms starter with Brian Stewart and whoever loses the NHL battle (Boucher, Backlund, or Newly Acquired Goalie).

And that’s fine. But people need to calm down about two things:
1) The price to acquire Nabby’s rights will not be high. There’s no way Hartnell/Carter/Giroux/JVR/Lapperiere are on the table. They’re just not.
2) The Flyers don’t have to clear cap space to get him since Nabby doesn’t carry a $6 million hit. He’s UFA, he’s going to take a pay cut, and the NHL has a 10% cushion for teams to go over the cap during the summer anyway. Any and all beat writers suggesting the Flyers need to clear cap space to trade for him are uninformed ignoramuses.

But I think it’s quite important to note that Fearthefin tweeted that DW doesn’t want to trade Nabby’s rights out of “respect for Nabby”. So….

I don’t see how that’s disrespectful. It’s not like Nabby has to move or even talk to the other team.

Nabokov. His career save percentage is better than any of Michael Leighton’s individual seasons, save for his first year playing 8 games.

...............I'd rather have Leighton.
But again, I’m biased towards good defense and I have no love for Nabby at all. That’s not to say that Leights is better (obviously untrue), but I don’t think Nabokov is worth it.
Nabokov. He’s overpaid for his accomplishments, but if he signs a cheaper deal here, say $3mil I have no problem with it whatsoever. There are not many places available for starting goalies, so unless a lot of the FAs take a paycut they will be out of work

I understand that too, but I think it’s also hard to have a guy demand minutes and pairings and make it clear this early in the process that he’s not going to be happy without those promises. In a totally hypothetical world, if somebody were to come here and have outstanding chemistry with Oskars but be totally incompatible with Prongs, I don’t want him complaining that he was promised a certain number of minutes during negotiations. That’s just for me personally.
by DragonGirl0583 on Jun 25, 2010 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Completely reasonable. But he’s on the UFA market and Philly wants him to just take less than he’s worth and get less playing time than he can get elsewhere?
That’s unreasonable. Hating a guy because he wants more responsibility, more opportunity, and yes, more money, is just selfish.

I’m with you here…
But if this is the way it was going to be, it might be good that he’s not staying here. I totally understand it was a contract negotiation and that he was going to try to get everything he could, but I just wasn’t getting a good vibe from him during this process.

I felt like that as well. If he wasn’t willing to maybe take a slightly lower salary than what he could get on the open market in return for being on what would probably be the best defense in the league, then he can go somewhere else and take all their money.

All this Nabby hate is totally misplaced. He has awesome numbers, plays in what everyone argues a surperior Western Conference in a Division with 3x 100 point teams. He is durable and has tons of playoff experience. I don’t get it at all.

Should the Flyers get Nabokov, they’ll probably try to do what they were going to do with Knuble a year ago — a slightly lower base salary than what you might expect, but with possible performance bonuses.
by Ben Feldman on Jun 25, 2010 11:22 PM EDT up reply actions
But Nabby wouldn’t be within the very narrow brackets where performance bonuses would be allowable in the CBA; so they couldn’t do that with him even if they wanted to.

To get them you either have to have A) an entry level SPC, B) be over 35 by June 30 + only sign a 1 year deal for 2010, or C) have played 400 career games + spent 100 days on the injured list in 2009 + only signed a 1 year deal for 2010. Nabby doesn’t fit into any of the 3, and all others are forbidden from having any performance bonuses at all. I don’t expect anybody else to have their CBA handy….

HOLY SHAKE SNOT!! 602 comments, must be some kinda record
I don’t have time to read them all so if this has already been mentioned just ignore it.
If you think Day1 was a disappointment, keep in mind that on the last 2 Day 2’s these players moved:
Bouwmeester, Leopold, Boyle.
So maybe tomorrow will be more interesting. And then of course there’s July 1st and the days in between now and then.
