Oh god. The Flyers page is already posting poop like “This Jett is a Flyer✈️”

Did the Comcast PR team make this pick. Jesus.

- hereticpride

They sure did. Very predictable. Biggest joke company with the stupidest fuqing consumers. I swear to god 90% of the fan base is a bunch of jd50 walking around

Can’t be any worse than 32. Why not?

Claude was traded in 22... we're been waiting 2-years to make that pick. Now it's probably pushed back another 2-years. That's time a prospect could have been developing and getting ready to contribute. Now we're talking about a kid who won't turn pro until 2028.

After their 1rst round tonight I’m not seeing a GM that’s inspiring much confidence….no player trades…a reach for a guy. A buyout because of warm and fuzzy feelings. A bad day.

Might be 3 2nds for next year depending on what Columbus decides in the next hour.
- landros 2


And good 2nds too....Flyers, Anaheim and Columbus (if they take this years pick).

The moves suggest the Flyers want to build with next years draft, but time will tell if they contradict themselves by re-signing TK and trading for more depth.

This team can’t recognize elite amateur talent. They have failed consistently for nearly two decades now. Claude Giroux was drafted in 2006. They have failed miserably since then regardless of the GM. Until they fire the scouts nothing will change because they will be receiving the same bad analysis. I had hope things were different after Michkov but he’s appears to be an anomaly. It’s just a steady stream of “two way” try hards.

Actually the trade was good with Edmonton....even if they win the cup next year that #32 will be in a deeper draft, now they have a chance to get an even better pick if Edmonton has a slump...maybe they get #18 next year.

If they would of taken Buium and made the trade I would of given them an A rating, instead they get a C-

Ya the 32 is what it is…but the pick earlier was a “I’m smarter the everyone else pick”. A reach, a large reach. It’s a D for me.

Probably gonna trade picks for Zegras at the rate of stupid they’re moving at.

The last trade can’t possibly cause you to gripe. It’s extremely likely the pick will be below 32.

Can’t even complain about getting a third for one spot.

What you can complain about is the talent evaluation and reaching to draft for a position of need instead of best player available. That decision very well might haunt them.

- Flyers1218


Exactly this. They could have have Buium plus all those picks next year and this would have been a stellar draft. Instead it quite possibly set them back 5-7 years

Well Danny better prove us wrong because if I have to watch Jett in the CHL for 2 years and wait a year or 2 for him to develop in the AHL I will personally drive him over with a wheelchair.

Very true. I must write re signing TK makes even less sense now. If Jett is the right pick (not a given), the earliest he will be in the NHL is 2 years from now. Probably closer to 3 yrs- he still is not 18. 3 1sts - sure does not suggest a quick retool. Very mixed signals right now.
- Trox88



Maybe Columbus already informed them? Maybe that’s why they moved32 ….knowing they have 36?

Hey you don’t gotta tell me that. I’ve been saying now is the time to get elite talent.

Mr.Playoffs is gonna be Mr.Layoffs with another night like this.

- hereticpride

I was willing to give him a chance. Even sides with it because he knows today’s type players/style of play. But clearly fuq head torts and idiot jones have most of the say. Puppets for cumcast. What a joke

Nah, he’s not a two way player. They just drafted another Scott Laughton 13th overall. Literally, 2 way player, great leader, will bring good culture. I really had hope that Briere would be different. So either many of you are right and Torts is pulling all of the strings or DB is an idiot.

Whoopie do they got a 3rd…. Don’t say I told you so when Zeev blows up. Now if Zeev wasn’t sitting there I get it… still would not like the reach of Jett but you don’t pass Zeev up there
- Stayin alive

I don’t disagree. Passing on Buium was a massive massive mistake. You can’t get elite talent if you won’t draft him.

I was saying after they made the decision they weren’t taking him (idiotic), getting a third to move down one spot is not too bad.

Mine too at this point. I might walk into a store and buy the first non Flyers hockey jersey I see. No other NHL franchise puts their fans thru this poop. They’re like Mets level bad.
