Good lord

OK, enough. First, that's just disingenuous. He was the only player to get a letter. And Torts did comment on his leadership: https://www.nhl.com/news/scott-laughton-emerges-as-leader-example-for-philadelphia-flyers/c-336450704 Second, how many teams meet whatever your criteria are for "solidly built"? Three? Four? Laughton could easily play 3rd line center and first unit PK on the vast majority of NHL teams. He's an upgrade in the top 6 on several. Because he's reliable. We already know you don't really know that much about hockey, you don't have to constantly remind us.

Rumor has it Poehlio is gonna wear #25. Not cool bro, not cool.

Dunno, it's not a team I follow much. Maybe @yave1964 could weigh in with some insight. 6th overall and so much excitement about him after he came over to play in Halifax.

I just saw that. $1.85M

Bobrovsky says hello (a 2nd and two 4ths)

"GILFs laying seductively at the bottom of escalators waiting for the repairman" porn. Very niche.

Yeah, fair I guess. At the same time, we can all be pretty certain that you would be terrible in the room.

Quite a bit I'd say. And he certainly likes Lauts more than, say, Polehamov

Is Philly in Canada now? Has anybody told them about our taxes?

Lol

Like, at the same time?

Yeah, it's a bit of a head scratcher. Good agent I guess. Maybe he's good in the room lol

It took awhile, but I think you finally found your calling (well other than pushing old ladies down escalators).

He was the 25th overall pick, so I'm guessing they think he's a late bloomer

Best thread started ever

I think the Flyers got a steal here

Too soon! And by too soon, I mean you beat me to it!

Lol, yup. Love you buddy!

Hey, he's Russian, an impromptu defenestration can never be ruled out!

I'm thrilled with the pick here and like the Bonk pick as well. Otherwise, I'm still dying of laughter from the Hayes trade. Nobody could see that coming 5 years ago, lol.

Thanks man, I'm alive, if barely. Good to see y'all!

I agree Howie. The thing I don't get is that the Flyer identity - tough to play against, hard working, team first etc. - exists *regardless* of whether people like Clarke are around or not. It's in the culture to a large extent, it's in the sign guy's signs, it's in fans' expectations, it's in the minds of the local media. You know what I mean? You don't lose it if Clarke is gone.

Alas, I fear you may be right. Nothing to be done but send it to the scrap heap I guess.

You know, if you fix the wonky transmission, put some new tires on it, give it a lick of paint, and fill the trunk up with halibut, the Risto would have some value.
