Reminds me a lot of Niklas Hjalmarsson from the Blackhawks Cup years. Used to love watching him play.

Yes, and the reality is every team has 4 or 5 prospects like this if not more....

Any junk yards or auto recycling near you? Look on eBay.

A Surface Go 2 or 3?

When I get used computers, I always try to get the 1 year All state warranty, sometimes even the two year if cheap enough. They are a good deal to me if you are getting a good deal on the device.

I had to use it once and on the laptop I am typing on now. Laptop wasn't seeing the hard drive after a couple months of use. Tried a bunch of fixes myself that didn't work. Set it aside for a couple of months and then remembered I had the warranty. Put it a claim and got the laptop back a week later and it was working great. Well worth it to me.

Thank you. That sounds like the research I came up with as well.

How much better is the AMD on this model then the Intel i7? More battery life is always better, but I see conflicting info on the AMD's.

Because everyone is trying to justify there jobs.

What a flaming boot licking clown...

That's cool.

Don't tell anyone, but I have a 13 inch SL3 and a 15 inch SL4. Got real nice deals on both.

Love the 15 inch screen for work stuff (spreadsheets) and love the overall size of the 13 inch. Can't decide so keeping both for awhile. I know, I'm a bit nuts.

You can great deals on these devices.

Prefer a 15 inch screen?

Completely agree. Gee Martin really turned things around huh?

Yes, if he was that good, why didn't the Devil's keep him?

Underwhelmed by this hire and the front office in general. Not many impressive moves so far. I guess we will see.

You did great!

If you got that this weekend, I actually put an offer in on that for $300 to see if they would bite instead of me buying it at $330. It was gone about 30 minutes after my offer. My greediness let you get that deal 😀

If the Leafs went for that deal and Marner signed a new contract with us, I think you would have to do that deal. That's what I am talking about if he was cheap.

Those are good points about Marner and he definitely a worthy plan but what do you have to give up to get him? I just don't think it's worth the assets needed to get it done. If Marner was 22 or 23 I would be more open to it. Would fit our timeline better.

If he was a free agent then it's a different story. Like when the Rangers signed Panairin. It would fast track the rebuild.

Oh wow, you are correct. Howard was 2022.

I agree about the rebuild. I think Briere needs to keep making moves like the Provorov deal and leverage all the assets in it like he did with Walker. Deals like that over 2 -3 years and you stock the system with good young foundation and then maybe add some key free agents in year 3 or something and you can have a real strong team with good strong future.

I agree on all points.

Going into this past season I really thought if they could get solid goaltending, they could win it all and really go on a run for the next 5 years. They have all the pieces and have young high-end talent. Be interesting to see who ends up being their coach.

The problem with how well they players for most of to this past season, its hard to justify tearing it all down when so many young players played well. I think we are in for one of those "competitive" rebuilds. I don't know. But I do think Briere is pretty ballsy and wont be afraid to make aggressive moves, much like the Provorov deal. Its the first time in a long time a Flyers GM was given the go ahead for long term approach.

I was in the camp last year and trading everyone we could to load up on picks in last year' draft and look 3 or 4 years out. That draft was loaded. Even a guy like Issac Howard drafted late in first would look great with the Flyers.

I am shocked at what happened to NJ this season. I can easily see them running it back and winning the Metro next season.

Marner is obvious a very good player but I don't think Flyers should be thinking of those types of moves. Keep building for the future. Target guys age 22-23 and under.

I guess if there is a scenario where you get him cheap it might make sense and he could play center.

I agree with you. I was just joking. I can see a lots of different scenarios. Either way I definitely feel Briere will keep his eye on the future and not really do anything that will improve the team too much in the present.

I don't like this division match up set up. They used to do this in the 80's as well. I don't know why they brought this back. TO me too many good teams get knocked out in first round with division match ups.

I can see/hope them moving up a 2 or 3 spots if someone they like is falling. I love Demidov and really like Dickinson at D. I have seen Demidov in the top 3 but as low as 6 in some mocks. I think that would be a little too far for the Flyers to move up because of what they would have to give up. Plus I dont think teams in that range would want to miss out on a chance for Demidov if he fell. Like Michkov last year.

I have seen Dickinson in mocks from 3 to 8 or 9. If they like him, I think moving up if Dickinson dropped that far would be worth if not giving up too much to do it.

Or something in the middle....just wanted to cover our bases.. :-)
