His name isn't on the back of the jersey. Wonder if it was a last minute decision?

I love it, I think its hilarious, and Flyers fans will do exactly the same thing in 2014.

I love how they had Shanny there to introduce himself....like "I'll be probably calling you in a few years. Just want to put a face with the name"

Like I said the Flyers go against the grain. Pick a Center.

What a dumb (frank)in pick....hopefully he can play wing

Coulda had Maatta. Coulda had Finn.

I know we talk about "the best available player", but how can you say that Maatta wasn't the fit for this team. More than this guy was....

So certain are ya? *bookmarks this page for 2-3 years from now*

Go ahead and bookmark it ...Olli Maata is probably the most NHL ready D-man after Murray...can't pass that up ...not a smart pick at all

Flyers have been solid in this draft position. I gotta give Holmgren the benefit of the doubt here... sounds like the TSN guys did too

flyers getting hammered by the fans.
- hammarby31

Remember when we knocked them out of the playoffs in 1997 and they did the same thing at the 1997 draft? Neither do they, because they were following the Pirates.

I like the sound of this, though: "A very effective, determined player who will do whatever is necessary to help the team win. "

Scott Laughton becomes the first player in months to wear a Flyer jersey in Pittsburgh without scoring on Marc-Andre Fleury. #TSN #NHLDraft
