What if....

The Flyers traded a player or two to a team that was on the bubble for their 1st round pick, they missed the playoffs AND the Flyers won #1 AND #2 picks.

Frost-Hughes-Kakko for 2019

And they are icing their best players, so it’s no a official “tank” job. Let’s see after the trade deadline.

Tonight is the 8th game in a row we're facing a backup.

Flyers are the joke of the league.

Loosely it is as I actually support Activision along with all the other ATVI+Blizzard+King studios from a Collab perspective also.

The gaming world is a different place then when that deal was originally made..makes total sense for Bungie.

Would firmly consider 8 skaters. And protect Myers or hagg. Just saying.

Removed players that won't be with team when the draft takes place.

Chose 8 skaters with the hope Myers becomes a solid NHL defenseman by then. Also because there really aren't a lot of forwards that are must protect. Voracek was a toss up, if one of the defensemen are traded or don't work out then he would be added instead. I really don't know what will become of Lindblom, Vorobyov, Rubtsov, Morin to add them to the list.

Looking at the current list the name that bothers me the most is Sandstrom. He may not even come over to NA, but if he becomes what I think he could then he would probably be traded before the draft.

Funniest/saddest part is, they aren't trying to tank, but they are just that bad.

He made a poor argument I think. Mainly based on jack Hughes is not going to ride in on his white horse and save the team and be a superstar next year.

I see nothing wrong with fans that hope that the team positions themselves for the best talent in the draft. It’s just more fun than rooting for weise to hit double digit goals in April, sorry.
