Weren't people ready to trade Hart and keep Errson last year? He's looked lost out there. If he's at fault or no, the goals he gives up suck the life out of the team.
The last guy played hockey once. He had 3 hat tricks and 11 assists. Putin himself came over and shook his hand and said “good game, comrade,” which has never been done before or since.
I kind of felt the same; didn't like the pick at all to start but the more I read the more i was ok with it. RHD who projects to be top 4 guy is good in my book. Not so sexy or flashy stat/skill wise, but could be a key reliable minute muncher that teams need.
it's gonna be alright guys. tonight will only determine whether or not I will live long enough to see the flyers win a cup. I've only been a fan since 86-87, so I figure I have maybe 5-10 more years left in me. No pressure at all. Is there a "pretty good" 2-way winger who is solid at everything equally but great at nothing that we can convert to center? is there a second round sleeper we can take at #7 and beat everyone else to the punch? this is how we do it in the mid-2000s, right?
my friend's polish father told me his even more polish uncle told him, "Never trust a goddamn Russian." so that's where I stand until proven the Flyers can work with/develop a Russian player to his max potential (bob probably would have worked out here but we obviously traded him for a crazier Russian).
I think it would be a mistake to trade him right now, but the return had better be huge IMO. Like top 5 pick. I also read something somewhere the ruling on that Team Canada assault hasn't happened yet, which may be holding up any real moves for Hart. I can't imagine he'd be involved in that, but it's certainly not going away (also I could be just a wrong judge of character).
