Flyer Free Agency is going to be as boring as the regular season

Bargain bin blowout is going to make for a torrid month of August.

I want the flyers to draft the most skilled player available. Regardless of size or position

Agree 100%

My mock this far goes as follows

1 McDavid Buffalo
2 Eichel Arizona
3 Hanafin Edmonton
4 Marner Toronto
5 Provorov Carolina
6 Strome Columbus
7 ...

I think if this is how it plays out the Flyers are down to Crouse, Zacha and Barzal. That's a tough call to make. I'd personally probably go Zacha but I see our scouts going all in for Crouse.

It does suck, no question. I am, however, dead set against the notion of tanking. I find it beyond distasteful. Tomorrow is the 31st anniversary of the notorious 13-4 game at the Spectrum where the Flyer scored seven unanswered goals in the third period because the Penguins did not even make a pretense of competing.

Amen, and agree totally. I have to say that I also find the Flyers play in 3rd periods lately distasteful.

You wouldn't think Columbus would go D? I'm not sure what's cooking in their farm but the Murray kid has been up and down and they have a bunch of solid young forwards already. Should be interesting

Honestly, win or lose, Berube should be fired the minute they return from the road trip.

It will loosen up the locker room for sure

I say we have a pool guessing the firing date/time

Hexy should let Mason and VLC fire him just for fun

If Hanifin and Provorov are off the board by 6, no. Werenski would be a little bit surpring to go there. Strome to me would be the no brainer pick there for any team. They could go Crouse tho I suppose, depending on what they think of him.

I would prefer we stay away from Crouse only because there are few hulking LWs with scoring touch that should still be in play with Tampa's pick.

Is cheif's treatment of mason a coaching ploy to get the team to come together in support for their goalie or is he just an ass hat?

I wouldn't take Zacha in the top 10. Seems like he's missing a toolbox.

Isn't there a big physical player projected to go in the third round that they can take?

Underrated album for sure!

Really wonder who coaches this team next season, or if the choice is still under contract with another club until seasons end?

Yup.

Take a look at Paul Bittner and Jordan Greenway. Bittner could go in the teens. They are 6'4 and 6'5 respectively. Bittner brings more offense. I get the sense that he's Simmonds-esque but with hands. Greenway has the offensive potential and is already around 220 lbs.

Ob could probably help you out there. I've really only been looking at 1st round projected players and a few early 2nd round projections.

Nice qualities, but I would think skating would be a major factor in deciding.
This team is in need of both size, & speed up front.
