Philly: Bobby Clarke will always limit this team with his stupid moves. Oullet plus draft picks for Oates???? Christ, this team's best trade was to another numbskull, The Rangers, to move Lindros fat ass. Hackett is not the goalie answer they need. Esche could be down the line. To make a cup run, they need a top goaltender and have some young guns shine. LeClair is on his last legs.
Isles can scare, b/c there is talent, youth and the components are there. The defensive depth is stellar. But, they need scoring wingers to blow up. They have about 4 rookies that could break thru in the next 2 years, and they must find a top-tier winger for Yashins line. They are getting there, piece by piece, but unless a whole bunch of things happen, they can make a run to play playoff spoiler to a top team, but i don't see the tools to take it deep just yet.
