If we get rid of Lias and Chytil its an A, with them included its a B+.

Maybe its organizational, maybe its him but hes left a lot to be desired considering the constant hype. I never saw it.

Lias is obvious.
Your hate for Chytil is somewhat overblown, IMO. He played for the team his rookie year and is still here. Has shown great improvement at times, in some areas.
The fact that he can't win draws and is not 100% what we want him to be does not make him a bust.
Their drafting is an A regardless, I think.

yeah but still, 21st overall, it's proven to be great choice regardless

Chytil is 3rd in goals in that whole draft at the moment

I wouldnt call it hate. Just stating the facts.

Ok, maybe not hate. But, not facts either. I view those facts differently. That makes them opinions.
Like Jim said, 3rd in goals in his draft class. Who should they have taken?

plus, I would say he still has enormous trade value at the moment

maybe Tolvanen, but 29 teams passed on him

Yeah, maybe. But, while Chytil was learning in the NHL, Eeli was in the KHL and AHL. Plus, he's a winger so he probably wouldn't be in our line up either.
IDK, but I'd still say they made the right choice. Therefore, A grade from me.

only thing i would have changed was i would have kept him in the AHL for a while. think he'd be a better player/C if we did that, but all hindsight

What a bust

can you imagine if the Flyers had any of Makar, Heiskanen or Pettersson?

Can he take draws?

Patrick for Chytil straight up.

that would certainly blow things up, a trade like that

I would do it. Seems like fair value to me.

I’m sure bc of “draft pedigree” it would take more than just Chytil

Change of scenery for both players might be good. I'd do it.
