Yes.

Where the prospects are now is hindsight and irrelevant to the point that he was making. There was a time (post 2017 draft) when the Flyers pipeline was the envy of the entire league, according to experts, fans, major publications, EVERYBODY.

It's just a fact.

Cautionary tale really. Get excited about Flahr's picks at your own peril. The Flyers have always seemed to find ways to rush/stunt/ruin/infuriate/misjudge their prospects.

Here's hoping Michkov will be like Giroux and rise above the development clown show.

There was almost no prospects that graded out to be star players, and then Nolan Patrick inflating the rankings . Quality > Quantity. At no time were people envious of the flyers prospect pool.

I wouldn’t go back to Zamula on the power play. In my opinion, it’s not a question of whether or not he was good there. It’s more likely, the other guys were just that bad. I think the Flyers need to make it work with players like York and Drydale because they’re expected to do better in that situation. Drysdale almost gets a pass from me. Rough season. The guy is gonna need his shoulders to be healthy to be anything special at the top of the umbrella.

I thought it was a core injury at the end of last season?
