So out of the prospects that the Flyers will realistically draft at 5, what are their weaknesses?

The Flyers are an organization that does things the right way

I agree. When the chips are down, who would you want donning the orange and black? Some candy ass Euro style guy who goes around in circles instead of being a man and heading straight for the paint? Or a guy who will deliver the pep talk when we are down 5-0 and spoil that other's guy's shut out by scoring that all important 1 goal while hobbling on 1 broken foot?

Hockey is a sport for men. And it is not every guy who can display the nobility of fighting defeat. Those who can, them's our boys!

The Flyers are an organization that does things the right way and anyone coming here, regardless of their drafted slot number or pedigree, better earn their ice time.

If we draft a scorer I want to see them bringing the lunch pail to work everyday and develop that 200 foot game.

- StepfordSam


Jimmy Snuggerud is your man. A scorer already having the 200 foot game. They can move down to get him. Use Nate and McEwen to kill his scoring touch.

Purposely trading players for assets to finish lower. That’s what I would like the Flyers to do.
- ClaudeFather


In my opinion, trading players that you don't view as part of your future for future assets is not tanking.

semantics once again.

Is ex selke part of the future? How about TK or Ivan? SO if the flyers deem they are not then that isnt tanking. Got it.

How about asking for a team's 1st round pick next year in any trade? If Bedard is the real deal (I have not seen him play just read some reports), then we should try to acquire a 2023 1st round draft pick. Lottery luck or package two 1st rounders for the top pick in 2023...
- cdearth23


To the winner of the lottery I would offer:

2023, 2025, 2027 - 1st Rd Picks

Konecny, Risto or Sanheim

Those NYR sure look like contenders

Also Oilers are getting eliminated tomorrow. Hopefully Holland will overreact and make Drasaitl available

That reminds me of when Stewie says positioning sells calls. If the ref was where he was supposed to be .....

Its coming. They havent been good either. Could lose Letang, Rust and Malkin in the off season. Crosby is only getting older.

Looks like Giroux should have kept his options open. Florida going to keep the series winless streak alive
