In Minnesota, Fletcher drafted Jonas Brodin and Matt Dumba.

These same Flyers scouts recommended Ivan Provorov, Ghost, and Travis Sanheim

Pretty sure I trust them more than some guy on FlyersBuzz

I agree. That trade was crazy (frank)ing good. A mid 2nd! People realizing this?
- Just5

Absolutely. At that point, Krebs, Caufield, Knight, and Boldy were still on the board. Someone was gonna take Knight (and they did).
That meant one of those guys was still gonna be there at 14 (2 of them were), AND you get a mid 2nd rounder. I loved the trade. I’m even okay with the pick.


I just woulda been happier with one of the scorers plus the 2nd rounder.

York seems redundant. We have that. We need people to put the rubber in the net.

If Fletch had gotten Caufield and a 2nd rounder tonight, this room would be dancing on their feet, and might even partially forgive him for handing Hayes 50 million over 7 years

Yeah, I'm a little skeptical. I mean I'm sure they'll be fine pros, but their stats have to be a little inflated.

Yeah! Like, they all played together and are going in the first round.

Dropped back 3 spots in the first to get a 2nd back... Makes the Braun trade look much better

No Messi is the best scorer on the planet. Rinaldo is the best player on the planet.

What I don't like about the trade is the I don't see him helping us while G is still in his prime. A winger in all likelyhood would've been here sooner and who knows when Jake and JVR will slow down.

Drafting for NHL readiness is how you get Lawson Crouse.

Great point! Skilled defensemen are important but we have so many of those. Simmonds got a year older, we trade him. Voracek and Konecny are it right now.
