I’m sure it has been posted but here’s what sportsnet had for a mock draft with some analysis on players.

The World was a far safer place when Trump was President than Biden. They said he was going to start wars. He is the only President who didn't start a war. In fact, enemies were in control. The situation was better with S Korea. There was the Abraham accords where countries in the Middle East were actually talking to each other and moving towards peace. Now under Biden, the Middle East is a powder keg. The Hamas attack on Israel would not have happened under Trump. Putin would not have invaded Ukraine under Trump. This is all happening because Biden is feckless and weak and the world knows it. While they feared Trump while he showed strength. For someone of your proclaimed intelligence, you don't seem to understand the difference between diplomacy and actual real admiration.

When he was asked if he was going to be a dicator, he said only for one day. When he would close the border, as it should be, and that he would 'drill baby drill". As we should. I love how he baits the far left liberal nuts and they fall for it.

Perfect post, 100%

I want to apologize to the rest of the board for violating my own self imposed rules of no politics on HB. I will accept and wear any criticism for that coming my way.

The way Parekh is described,he doesn't seem like a Torts type player. That would sure be interesting.

From The Athletic..

“You’ll watch him play and you’ll be like, ‘Man, does this guy even care right now?’” Dalmao said, chuckling. “There’s times where I get on him about it. Like ‘Hey, Z, your body language,’ and he kind of just looks at you like he doesn’t know what you’re talking about, and that’s because he’s kind of just standing there because he’s kind of just watching everything happen. And then all of a sudden you snap your fingers and he’s in the place he needs to be and he’s making something happen.”

Torts has such an over reliance on the eye test that I don't think he would be able to get past this kind of stuff Torts thinks caring entails screaming and yelling and conflict.

I have a hard time seeing them going for a smaller defenseman, no matter their upside. After the Blues and Bolts won with their beefy D (and now with Jonesy lusting after the Vegas model) every D they've drafted since then has been 6'2++.

And I doubt they'd want to add another small body on top of Drysdale, York and Andrae.

I have a sneaking suspicion Andrae isn’t on the Flyers come 25-26….not so much a comment on his play but to your point I see him moved for other assets to make room for a heftier blue line corps. They like York and they’ll squeeze all they can from Drysdale

As a Canadian…a leftist country, even with our Conservative Party (we are further left than most). I can’t get behind a system where by a sitting president or his minions can attempt to stop his opponent from running a fair campaign in an upcoming election. I have always tried to be fair and balanced when these conversations arise ….but for (frank) sakes this is embarrassing.
I am not a big fan of Trump but I find my self hoping he wins come November even though it might not be in Canada’s best interest, simply because it might be for the greater good.
I will echo others comments….sorry for the political talk…on a hockey website…but this topic is of a greater importance in the grand scheme of things. Go Flyers…

I think Andrae might be the next Zamula….a guy that surprises a lot of people going forward.

I think he’ll be good…but there doesn’t seem to be a fit for him if they keep both York and Drysdale. 2 years from now is an eternity and perhaps it doesn’t shake out that way, but he seems like the odd man out as of now

Yeah. I think Parekh would be a good fit skill wise if he fell that far. While size is good, we will still need more skill on d. I wonder if the guy might still have some growth size wise left in him. I don’t think he will but who knows? If torts can’t deal with some of these kids, then he needs to be the one to go imo.

Yeah. I’m Canadian too and I’ve had enough of our far left government. Bring on the fall election and a change even though the conservatives are not perfect.

A lot can happen in the next year or so, and I get your argument that Andrae as a player seems redundant size wise but I really think Andrae still has a chance to be a pretty good pro. I also want to see if Drysdale can make it through a full season.

Your perspectives have very little to do with you being a Canadian, or being a nice man, or being fair, all of which you are. It has to do with your being embarassingly ill-informed, intellectually lazy, and with a defensive posture of interpreting common sense refutations as 'far-left discourse.'

Here is a little analysis of your "one party trying to keep Trump off the election trail" claim:

1. The attorney general (who would need to be a key player in such a concerted conspiracy effort) is a registered Independent who has such broad bipartisan appeal that his nomination to the SC in 2016 was never brought up to the full Senate for confirmation because McConnel was scared he would be confirmed. His vote for confirmation to AG was 70 to 30 in 2021.

2. This same ring leader brought charges against a US dem senator for bribery, and for a prominent US labor leader in Philly (who is very good at getting the vote out for dems) for embezzlement. Too bad this partsisan ring leader is hurting his own party, huh?

3. The same dude, while taking a break from trying to keep Trump off the trail, found time to not just prosecute but actually convict the President's son during the same election year, thus providing not just an emotional but also a political blow. What a Machiavellian pos!

4. The Manhattan DA, (as mentioned by me earlier), has nothing to do with national Dem party or DC or DOJ. He brought charges and secured a conviction by a jury. But the same DA office, when occupied by his predecessor, declined to bring charges just a couple of years ago, thus suggesting the decision to prosecute was personal and not political or conspiratorial.

5. The Trump classified handling case, which is pretty strong, was brought in Florida, which has a far more conservative bench, rather than say, NY or DC, where it could have been brought. As such, there was always a possibility it would fall to someone like AIleen Cannon, who has delayed, delayed, delayed. You would think a dude orchestrating such a national conspiracy could do better than be so embarassingly sloppy, huh?

6. The same dude appointed a special counsel who investigated Biden's mishandling of classified info and came out with a report where he essentially called the president senile. Also in the same year as the time he was 'trying to damage Trump'. What a clumsy conspirator, no?

7. If the charges were 'trumped' up, strange they seem to be sticking . A jury voted to convict 34-0. Another grand jury voted to indict in classified handling case, and yet another in the insurrection case.

8. In the US justice system, a special prosecutor/counsel has complete autonomy to investigate and decides solely whether, when and where to bring charges. There are gadzillions of lawyers working for such offices. How exactly would they manage to coordinate to act out the will of the "one party" in this hyper-noxious media environment without someone providing evidence of such collusion?

I could go on, but instead I will say this. Could it possibly be that Trump has so many charges against him because he has so many potential crimes on his record and not because of a vendetta?

And I will say this. Trump is a guy who has promised to undo some of the most sacrosanct principles of American government. Such as interfere with the independence of the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve has been always politically independent. Bush Sr. wanted the Fed to cut rates for his re-election. Currently, Biden would like lower rates but he can't do anything about it.

To reduce an independent and essential arm of govt to a political appendage would be vintage Trump, of course. But it would be catastrophic for the US govt.

The notion that you would like to see a guy like this win is bad enough. But what makes it particularly pathetic are that your reasons stem not from belief or conviction but from your poor grasp of common sense and detail.

Very little of this is fact. A lot of opinion. Perhaps you should find out actual facts instead of parroting MSNBC, CNN and FOX. There’s either a lot of ignorance or naivety in these opinions. Seriously. Learn the facts before you post opinions as such. Additionally, if you want to talk politics, go to the your antifa or proud boys or whatever websites you want. Some people are so stupid. Some of you actually believe Maddow and Hannity. Geez. This is a hockey/Flyers blog. Go vote bit keep it private.

Learn the law people (most of you are very ignorant of it) and keep your political opinions to yourselves or to the political blogs.

That was my point, not the politics

Are you still down with keeping those who are unvaccinated from participating in society? The majority who have been hesitant to being vaccinated are black and brown people.

I've been trying to use the puckpedia website just to get used to it. The whole interface is confusing and trash.

capfriendly is so intuitive and easy to use. It's all right there in front of you.

I hope someone comes up with something that works.

It’s funny how someone the other day suggested the UI wasn’t important. It’s such a critical aspect establishing credibility and getting widespread use.

I’m actually not that surprised a lot of teams don’t have their own. Most executives/owners are cheap as hell. I’m sure plenty of lower level employees had the thought but were told it wasn’t necessary because there was a free website already.
