Any early odds on GM of the year? Is Fletcher in the running? After all he won the Deslauriers sweepstakes for a player that brings an element that we need and there was a lot of competition for the player.
- MJL


He'll not only win GM of the year, (he did expand analytics department after all) he'll build this team into a winner and he won't drop the cup unlike that bum Kubel.

Desluarier wins Conn Smyth.

Quite a few big names on that team.
REALLY hoping Carter Hart was not involved.

Kid needs to be a 200 foot player who brings his hard hat and lunch pale to work everyday kind of player. Drop the gloves at least once or twice a game, get pucks in deep, hates to lose more than he loves to win, and hit sumbuddy too.

Does that cover the all the cliches?

"Flyers hockey" was implied but you need to say it explicitly

The age distribution chart that Fletcher referenced on one of his press conferences is an example of the industry leading cutting edge work that the Flyers award winning analytics department is doing. It can only mean good things moving forward.

We need to stop talking about Frost as if he was a top 5 pick instead of a #27 pick.

Perspective is required.

Do us all a favor and go look at the numbers of the guys picked at 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 28, 31. etc.

He missed an entire year.

Do we need him to take a step forward? We sure do. But lets stop acting like he was the second coming of Claude Giroux or Connor McDavid.

Him no be all star, him bust. Just stop.

- MBFlyerfan

Why would anybody do that. Ronnie picked him in the first round

Speaking of Laughton, he's another late first round pick who was derided by dullards as a bust after spending his 22 year old season in the AHL.

Looks like only Hart -- and the one who should have been chosen at #2 with hindsight attached - Cale Makar

Some pretty big names and many current NHL players on that list. It appears that only three players werent at the event itself.

When the report came out, one reporter, Laurie Couture-Dallaire decided to research which players attended the golf tournament and exposed them on social media.

According to her, from the roster, 19 of the 22 players were present at the tournament. Per her observations, Victor Mete, Jordan Kyrou and Kale Clague are absent from the event.

That in no way means that Hart was a participant in this crime. It just says that he was at the event in question.


And with hindsight attached, Makar should have been #1

He's played 77 NHL games. This upcoming season is essentially his second NHL season.

My prediction is they buy out JVR during the next buy out phase.

The regular buyout period normally lasts around 15 days or so. Not sure if that has passed or not. If MacEwen winds up going to arbitration. The Flyers will have another buyout period later in the summer.
