He has a slick play list. Laughton does need to be spelled in the DJ booth.

Would you rather have Matt Boldy or Cam York?

Belpedio or Brayden Point?

That's Flahr's record of trading down.

I bet the Flyers get better when Flahr is gone from the Flyers by default. This guy gets paid to make the internet look smart.

Tell me honestly what YOU think Luchenko's ceiling in the NHL will be?

2nd line winger or 3c

Still praying for an Askarov trade.

Do something significant you dumb (frank)s

Please tell me how great this pick is dude. Way better talent at 12. I need your unwavering dedication to whatever the Flyers say to make this make sense. Time is yours… please tell me why this is a good pick.
- Flyfly

I don't know if this is a good pick or a bad pick. I'll tell you in 2-3 years as we see how Luchenko develops. All I can say is Luchenko is a center with above average speed and good skill, plus already has NHL size and will only fill out more, maybe even grow another inch or two. Flahr is a very good drafter and has done a good job with the Flyers. Everyone hated when the Flyers traded down and got York, and look how that turned out. I just think we need to see how this turns out and not rush to judgement. This clearly was not the Flyers first choice. They desperately tried to trade up and couldn't do it, and obviously didn't like Helenius and Buium enough.

So DB went from a smart drafter by getting MM to a dumb drafter?

The Caps just drafted the 29th player in mock drafts at 17. Was this a bad pick too?

From Appleyard:

“The biggest red flag for me with this pick is actually not related to the player.

It is IF @NHLFlyers passed on Buium because they THINK they have strong young D and wanted to add a C.

That would be scary.”

Pretty much sums it up. Passing on Buium says they see Drysdale as their 1D. So their evaluation of their current players is poor. Exactly why they’re gonna keep TK for another 9 years.

Please provide the facts that he is a very good NHL drafter.

How many full time players has he produced while working for Flyers?

Probably passes on the college route after bungling the Cutter situation.

I think the Flyers already have players like Buium .. they need size and a shutdown guy, which is why I am so high on Solberg.

Go look it up .. if a team gets 2 NHL players from a draft that is a good draft. 3+ players is an excellent draft.
