So what’s the slogan gonna be for tanking this year? McCan’t for McKenna?

Chicago I bet likes Martone right now. He’d be a great wing to put with Bedard.

As for Utah, how much you wanna give to move up 2? They might listen. I don’t think I’d offer. Not with the way Hagens played this year. I’d rather roll the dice with Desnoyers and the extra picks you’d have to offer up to get him.

I agree, it all depends on how they view these kids. If it plays out your way and the Flyers brain trust feels there's a slim difference between Hagens, Desnoyers, O'Brien, whomever, then sure, stay put.

But if they feel Hagens is the only one of the three with #1 potential, I'd say go for it. That's what you need, not another 2-3 center, or 3-4 D man.

If he's the real deal, and you can make a play get him, do it. Why roll the dice with lesser picks? They placed themselves in this position to make a move like this. Take advantage.

If it costs you like 6th OA, the Oilers’ pick and a late 2, I guess I’d chew on it, but I mean look at this team. We need every shot at striking gold we can get.

Desnoyers and O’Brien could have 1st line potential. Desnoyers played fast, heads up hockey. Could be a new Giroux for us if the hockey gods allow it.

Give In for Gavin. That could work.

Only this potential Giroux type would have an animal in his early 20s paired with him once he steps up to the NHL.

He’s smart. He’s a playmaker. He’s a fast and creative passer. I’d pair a guy like that with Michkov any day.

How does the lottery draft always frank us? Seriously? Its like a damn curse at this point

No real consensus after top 2….was hoping we got the #1 when it was down to the last ball…. Still should get a really solid prospect….as in a top of line up player.

Yeah, that’s why I’m fine chillin at 6.

Martone, Hagens, Desnoyers, Frondell, O’Brien. Two will be left, and we’ve got our choice between them.

Sounds good.

Probably cross off Martone. I see him playing with Bedard in the near future.

There’s an outside chance something like:

Schaefer
Misa
Martone
Desnoyers
Frondell
Hagens

That’s what you’re hoping for if you like Hagens.

But I wouldn’t count on it.

Based on prior years, hell last year, you never know. The only thing that is just about in stone is that Schaefer and Misa go first and second. Their order to be determined.

We dont know what will happen. Shane Wright was supposed to be the defacto #1 and he dropped to 4th.

Ya my wish list after Schaefer and Misa are.

#1. ….Frondell
#2….Hagens
#3…. Matrone.
#4…Desnoyer…

Any of these guys become their best prospect….we have 3 really solid ones in Bump, Bonk and Luchanko…..so add a at #6 and hopefully at least one or two more and the future is starting to look more promising.

Mhm, I mentioned that. There have been a lot of surprises recently. Wright was dipping a little at the end, but nobody expected 4th.

I’d still lay a lot of money on Schaefer and Misa being the top 2 (whichever way), but after that, it’s anyone’s guess.

What a disaster. I’m surprised we didn’t end up 20th over overall ffs. Might as well have. I guess this is why you don’t try tank especially as the flyers.

So true. It seems set up to screw us continually.

We’re not getting any of them. We’ll go off the board for another right winger as bpa.
