Haha totally forgot about that one.

Is Kimmo still involved with the team? Last I remember they sounded really enthusiastic about finding a spot for him in the organization.

If the Risto trade isn t done and Fletcher waits to FA and doesn t get Savard, would Bogosian or Hamonic been a better solution? I will be curious to see what these guys get for contracts. Or just kept Ghost above all the above options.

Obvuously, they had no shot at Jones.

Draft coming on. As a Flyers fan I’m only watching (no interest since the trade) in the hopes that some ESPN idiot corners CF and asks him “a first and second and a player? WTF were you thinking?”

They aren’t doing this draft with a crowd at all? Weird.

I get covid and all but the NFL did an outdoor one which was fine.

Is everybody drunk yet because of this BS that CF has pulled?

I'm sorry for defending chuck Fletcher. I am officially over him

I think Risto is better then that. Funny some of my buddy’s love the guy …while the younger Analytical crowd hate him….the end result is the Flyers are a better team today then a week ago. Contender ? Not quite…but they are headed in the right direction.

Your buddies versus the younger analytics crowd? Polarizing? That makes it sound like opinion is evenly divided or close or has an age bias.

Here is Reddit reaction: https://www.reddit.com/r/...erall_a_2023_2nd_rd_pick/

Here is HFboards:
https://hfboards.mandator...3-2nd-round-pick.2835484/

Here is Wyshniski: (A for Sabres, C- for Flyers).
https://africa.espn.com/n...rs-first-round-draft-pick

Athletic has 2 grades: A+ for Sabres in each, and F- and J for the Flyers.

Risto has largely played the role that Amac had on the Flyers in his later years, except Amac was slower, softer, but a lot better positionally.

Now imagine if someone gave you a 1st, 2nd and a serviceable 6/7D with a cheap contract to take Amac off your hands where you would have been delighted to give him away for free? That's how Sabres fans feel.

Really wasn t possible after acquiring Ellis, unless they shaved cap from the fwds. I m just curious if the consnsus is Fletcher should have just waited for free agency to start and hope to get a UFA in the top 6? I had zero interest in Bogosian or Hamonic.

Hamonic probably not even a possibility. He requested that trade out West years ago and has stayed out there.
