Meh. Doesn't bother me

The kid is gonna need a few years, and they have the roster depth to give it to him

At some point, you trust the scouts who bring you the Gagnes and Girouxs and Ghosts of the world, or you don't

Tolvanen
Kostin(especially because MJL would despise him)

that scene where they went back over an old crime scene and every word was "(frank)" was genius on so many levels.

Patrick


Frost...what a reach
- Nucker101

I didn't know much about him until tonight. He'll have plenty of time to develop but I'm curious what your thoughts are Nucker

With blues fleecing pens they essentially got schenn for Reaves and a late first in 2018 or 2019
- Tfaehner

They also gave a pick to the pens and lehtera but yeah they did well

I'm a big fan of Frost personally. I may have taken a couple others but Frost was pretty right up there for me to the point where I could dig it. It's the Lehtera thing that bothers me, not Frost. I think he will surprise people who didn't see him get all that hyped or post amazing numbers. Watched a lot of SSM on tape for Frost the last couple months, and I kept watching because I liked him so much specifically and his brand of hockey.
- Mononoke

#47 for me..was kinda meh on him. Felt like he didn't have a high ceiling.

Lehtera and Filppula on the team...feels redundant


Was 100% on board with trading Schenn, but not like this

I love that the Flyers get their guys. They have targets, guys they believe in, and go get them. Don't worry about consensus or who is falling or rising or what looks good on draft day. They get their boys, boys.

Go worry about passing up Glass brah.

Fair enough. I think Hexy is banking on Patrick and Lindblom just a bit

I'm on board though. Ride or die for the bois

- PhillySportsGuy

They took Pettersson tbf. Didn't pull a Red Wings or something. Nucker doesn't like him as much though, so it was just a slight dig.

FWIW I thought Vegas killed it taking Glass and Brannstrom, and to a lesser extent (I'm not as big a fan but he's fine) Suzuki. Really made good use of their picks tonight.

All that matters is that the pick they obtained for Rinaldo needs to be an all star

They took Pettersson tbf. Didn't pull a Red Wings or something. Nucker doesn't like him as much though. Had him 12. I had him 7.

Vegas had a great draft. Maybe made up for their weird expansion draft

- YuenglingJagr

I think our trade was a win win. Lehtera is meh but whatever. They fleeced penguins. Overall blues got the guy they wanted in the 1st got rid of bum Reaves and got a solid player in schenn. Armstrong did well. Flyers did well. By end of weekend we could be feeling really good.

Vegas definitely did well. They're going to be so bad next year though. It's pretty clear they had no intention of being competitive and just wanted to build from the ground up. That's probably their best path to contention, but risky for a new franchise.

I think we also need tomorrow to play out before we fully judge anything.

I'm not cool with the goaltending situation, for example.
- johndewar

Definitely need to address that for the short term.

- Mordecai

I think the weird ED set them up for today's draft.

I thought they did well. They'll be better equipped than, say, Atlanta was a few years down the road.

- PhillySportsGuy

No idea what he's referring to

This Flip/Lehtera situation bothers me though. There has to be some solution coming tomorrow even or in the next couple weeks.

We need a goalie badly still, and that's a lot of cap space on an expiring contract and a 2 year deal for bottom 6 players. We can cover it, but it makes things needlessly tight. OMG what if we traded MacDonald and just used 4 ELC d-men. I'll take $10 mil on two crap Finns for that.

Still 100% on board with Hexy

HoF or bust

Whoever the Flyers draft with that pick should just be put into the Flyers HOF just because.

Our secret boo

LOL

Hard to do a HoFer at 80, but I hope they take the single-most skilled human alive that is draft eligible, even if he's 150 pounds soaking wet, and just say "Yeah. We're just gonna wait on this kid. Just gonna wait and see what happens. Nothing to see here"

I think it was the Glass burn?

They took Pettersson tbf. Didn't pull a Red Wings or something. Nucker doesn't like him as much though, so it was just a slight dig.

- Mononoke

I had Glass ranked 3rd
Suzuki 6th
Brannstrom 12th


Amazing haul(a)
