If what they say is true about his talent assessment skills and he returns as an exec it may be bad news for us. He could have a similar affect on the organization as the one Neely had on ours. However, as a coach, he gets my vote. I think he would be absolute comedy behind the bench and the team would continue to flounder. The circus would be set up for an extended run the The Bell Centre.

He was brought in as a figurehead without much (or any) control over personnel decisions. He'll provide his opinion but ultimately personnel and on ice decisions are controlled by Chiarelli and Julien. This team has Chiarelli's hands all over it (after flushing out that useless shit that Mike O'Connell had made).

I still believe Chiarelli laid out his "idea's" on Chara in a hypothetical sense during his job interview and gym teacher Scott Gorton or wtf his name was ran the paperwork (since Chiarelli was under legal wraps)

I still believe Chiarelli laid out his "idea's" on Chara in a hypothetical sense during his job interview and gym teacher Scott Gorton or wtf his name was ran the paperwork (since Chiarelli was under legal wraps) If his ideas were that Chara was going to test the free agent market and he was a physical freak and someone he wanted, yes but he still left it up to Gorton to pull the trigger. It's too bad we don't know what was said because it would be interesting to see of Gorton carried out Chiarelli's plans to a 't' or if he left gave Chiarelli the old 'up your ass' for taking what he figured was his job. Anyway, I was thinking more of Chiarelli's role in bringing in the missing pieces that really made their mark on the team. Horton, trading Kessel for a gold mine, Kelley, Peverly, Thornton, Seidenberg (who seems to be just what Chara needed), Campbell, Paille, and of course drafting Hamill.

I thought I dreamt it once but it was always somewhere in the back of my mind that PC had someone else in mind to draft other than Lucic. I for some reason think it was Blake Geoffrion who went 56th overall, 6 spots ahead of Lucic. Maybe it wasn't Geoffrion, but I vaguely remember something about it!!

Jeff Gorton drafted Kessel , Lucic and Marchand PC was not on the job as of the Draft ..I still remember an article about a struggle over the Lucic pick with PC though ..

Couldn't think of where I heard that title, but remembered it was describing a small fishing town in Alaska. Didn't know it was a retaliatory hit, but still a costly one. Sure they wentoutand got a guy like Kasian, but it will getoldquick having to have the backs of pukes like these.

Ah, to be Dan DeKeyser. When Western Michigan University was knocked out of ice hockey's version of the NCAA Sweet 16 on Saturday night, a race to sign [DeKeyser] likely began at the buzzer. DeKeyser, a mobile 6-3 sophomore, is the top undrafted free-agent recruit this season. He is expected to generate offers from all 30 teams, including the Flyers. Tonight's opponent, Tampa Bay, is also believed to be interested. "It's not unfathomable to think Danny DeKeyser could get an offer from every team," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said recently. ... The Flyers have had a ton of success snaring some of the top undrafted free agents in the past, but the Red Wings are believed to have the inside track on DeKeyser.
