The Progression of Shayne Gostisbehere
September 24th, 2015 The Philadelphia Flyers went way off board at the 2012 NHL Draft when they selected Shayne Gostisbehere with the 78th overall pick. Gostisbehere was a 19-year-old draft re-entry player who was not even ranked on the mid-term Central Scouting List. By the time of Central Scouting's final rankings, "Ghost" was ranked as the 148th...
Will Youngsters Force Bergevin's Hand?
July 15th, 2015 As we stand right now, the Canadiens have decided against dipping into their pockets and trying to upgrade their top 9 forwards. Whether this is indeed the right decision, time will tell. The Canadiens still need to sign restricted free agent Alex Galchenyuk to a contract, which will likely be in the 2.75 to 3.5 million dollar range for...

It's Time To Give the ECAC Some Respect
April 12th, 2014 For the longest time teams vying for the National Championship in the Frozen Four tournament included D-I schools from Hockey East, WCHA, and the former CCHA (which has since been disbanded). You could put money down that year in and year out the Frozen Four would be populated with teams from one of those three divisions. The...
Top Flyers Prospects To Date
November 22nd, 2013 The Flyers' prospect pool has been a laughing stock for quite some time. Although they've put winning teams on the ice, they always seemed to lack in developing prospects through their farm system. From the years 1999 to 2011 the Flyers have had a grand total of four 2nd round picks (three of them were in the same year -...
Shayne Gostisbehere: The Leading Dutchman
March 25th, 2013 I remember sitting opposite the draft board at the Consol Energy Center on the 2nd day of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. As a Flyers fan, I was happy the club had selected Scott Laughton the night before and Anthony Stolarz with their first pick of the day. Their 3rd round pick was still approaching and there were some very intriguing...
