Bill Meltzer: Flyers Select York in 1st Round, Trade Back into 2nd Round

Metro is getting stacked. This team may need to bottom out in the next few years just to keep up in the long run.

Also, Ghost's value is probably not nearly what we thought it was if that's what Subban just got moved for. I still expect Hagg or Morin to be moved tho.

Let the rebuild begin in earnest...for real this time.

fletch gets an A+ from me for the first round

I like the pick and I like Fletcher’s trade even more. He is back on the rails....for now.

It makes 0 sense for the Flyers to rebuild now.

I can't believe I just read that.

York lacks size and physicality

so we pass on Caufield?

we pretty much have to the devils have hughes and subban now

People still upset over the Braun trade?

yes

So we skip Caufield cause he is too small and then move up to get a guy 1 inch taller that can’t skate.

Caufield is too small but they trade up in the 2nd and take a 5'8" RW described as a horrible skater???

Or not..

Flyers have their apparent starting goalie.
5 out of their 7 dmen are 26 or younger.
They have youth in their forwards and more incoming.

When tehy should have rebuilt is when Hexy took over.

I hope you guys are all happy that even though we passed on Frodo, we got Sam.

Totally fine with Sam , he did most of the leg work anyway..

That being said..seems like a silly pick to me if the big knock against CC was he was a 5'6.

Fletch is obsessed with Americans.

Didn’t take long for team negative to cry about drafting BB and passing on Caulfied.

They didn’t pass on CC for being smaller they passed on him because they had York rated higher.

Obviously Fletch made the Brink pick after reading all the hate here for not drafting an undersize player...

Bobby Brink and we traded up!?

The Flyers just took a midget who doesn't have one tenth of the skill of Caufield.
Let's hear from you!

Liked the York pick. Loved the trade with Arizona.

Loved the brink pick and trade to get him with the pick devils gave Nashville.

Did you love the Braun trade and Hayes signing too?
