Those picks were worth more than Vanek. It would also help to stop taking big risks in the first round and drafting players from Europe that may not even play in the NHL or even AHL.This isn't the NFL where many first rounders are in the league starting next year. We don't rush our players along. That's 4 picks over 4 years. We can't wait 5+ years for decent hockey.
Our owner and GM also held a press conference and said flat out that we would match any offer, as the Lowe rumors were swirling. And he pulled the trigger anyway...
He was also knocked around and had 3 concussions. He reminds me of another Philly player that had problems with concussions but he isn't as good as Lindros even when Lindros was playing with concussions.Actually, retard. His money didn't count against the cap because we shut him down for the year genius. Thats how we were able to aquire vinnie prospal and make the playoffs. That was really poor wasn't it. Oh and for 5.25 million a year we got a two time 40 goal scorer. Almost a 50 goal scorer with 47. He is also our best two way player and an influential player on the ice. I'm sorry what was penner again?
caps signed theodore.....no more huet in washington i guess

I thought it was two concussions and thats the reason they stopped him playing for the rest of the season. The flyers have had trouble with concussions in their whole existence. Lindros, Forsberg, Roeneck ect
With 4 first round picks, you might get 1 player of Vanek's talent.
Vanek was our top draft pick from a few years back, and we're not starting over again.

Well it's mainly Peter's feet that keep him off the ice.
I think he had one or two with the Wings as well....Yes but he did have 2 concussions while at philly too. Same as mr keith primeau
