Pros and Cons of Drafting Brady Martin

Wheeler at The Athletic has the Flyers taking Hagens, which I would be overjoyed for.

Martin DOES seem like that same old Flyers 70’s mentality pick. He, IMO, is not the “swing for the fences” type player they need to take at #6. Especially when they have 2 more first rounders to use. Scott Laughton is a good comparison.

Hagens
Frondell
McQueen
O’Brien

These 4 would be my favorite choices based on availability. I am pretty sure 1 or 2 of them will be there at 6.

If Martin has a laughton comparison the flyers are licking their chops and can’t wait to make the pick….

Not directed at you Bill just tired of hearing how hard danny tried moving up. it is window dressing. rarely happens. if he did a better job as a GM he wouldn’t have had to try to move up.

if they move up this draft look to vancouver at 15. Thing is what players (york? brink?) would the flyers move that other teams want? pretty much every player is untouchable in the GM’s eyes.
