Flyers have now added two defenseman to the prospect stable. McKenizie called Hagg, first round talent. All the conversation about the Flyers not drafting defenseman. Things change in a hurry in the NHL. We'll see if they made good picks.
- MJL

6 defensemen drafted in the past two years, as well as trading for a former 2nd rounder in Mark Alt

So Homer simultaneously destroyed and repaired the draft on the same day?
- eayost

He never destroyed anything to begin with today. You people just don't want to give the poor kid a chance. I bet if Morin ends up being the next best dman in the NHL you will all be singing a different tune.

Madison Bowey

From incompetent to genius in 30 picks.

I'm sad we didn't get Pulock, but if Pronger can be his mentor then Morin will be a forced to be reckoned with.

This day will forever be known in Flyerdom as "The Draft"

- JAKEw1234

Nothing not to like about that pick. Every mock I saw had him in the first round.

I know -- I thought you only got whiplash in car crashes.

Drafting for the future well down the road. Morin and Hagg won't be on the Flyers for at least 3 years. But they may have a good 2nd pairing in 4-5 years.

PITT WILL GET BOWEY FOCK

Nope. I don't have to take out my physical shortcomings by attacking the hockey team I root for in an endless monotonous drone about how awful they are

that's what the drinking is for?

They should've drafted a Forward. Terrible draft!

I think we'll be very happy with a Morin-Hagg pair for a long, long time.

Appearing more and more like Coburn and Read will be Flyers by the end of the evening.

I was sarcastic about the "destroy" part. My thoughts on Morin are to trust the brass and wait and see

crazy

That'll be next
- JoeRussomanno

I think they go Goalie next.

Homer and Mactavish meeting again
just trade us Eberle already

3rd round is not the time to look for an impact forward. If I were the Flyers I'd go goalie prospect (Saros maybe?) because we don't have a 4th. 5th should be a goalie, 6th and 7th should be BAP based on their competitiveness, work ethic, and personality.

always someone negative
- 2Real

after the first pick you called for him to be "fired already, geez"

Good. There's room for them on the team unless someone wants to overpay.
