Unless we are getting a true, blue-chip, bonafide #1 star centre in the making, we don't need any more "decent 3rd liners that can possibly play as second liners one day". Sorry to say, those two Flyers players don't fall in that category.

I would much rather have "decent second pairing defencemen that can maybe one day play on the top pairing" kind of guys going forward.
Disagree so much with this post. I do agree the flames lack a top 4 D but looking at the system they are doing okay in terms of shutdown guys. Wortherspoon, Ramage, Sieloff, Breen are all shutdown type dmen. We do lack puck movers in the system

Street, Stajan, Knight, Horak in the same class as Couturier and Schenn? Get real. Schenn and Couts are not guaranteed but have much higher upside (realistic) than any flames prospect not named Monahan or Baertschi
