You can see the direction the Flyers want to go in and it doesn’t weigh 165 pounds.
1) 6’5″ 225 lbs
2) 6’1″ 200 lbs
3) 6’2″ 210 lbs
4) 6’5″ 195 lbsLOVE IT!!!

Yes! I’ve seen enough smurf hockey where the Flyers get pushed around like shopping carts. The teams that went to the conference finals were big and mean except for Carolina, which did carry a few smaller guys.

So far the Flyers have drafted a medium sized college basketball team lol

Reach is nice, very helpful for Dmen, but to me it’s the getting pushed around too easily which is where weight and strength come in. Reading plays and getting good position can help a smaller guy play bigger but I’d rather have a guy 6-0 and 195 doing that against a bigger opponent than a 5-9 and 170 guy.
Anyone beyond round three is pretty much a “hope and a prayer”, but you never know. Without a third round pick we got six really good prospects in rounds 1 & 2, it’s gonna be three plus years before we find out what’s there in my opinion but a really good draft for the team. Lots to be happy about. Watching these kids grow and develop is all part of the fun.
The Flyers must have a great skating coach because for the most part these picks all have skating issues according to their scouting reports. .

Some people think Martone makes the team this camp. It’s not like they don’t have spots up front that need an upgrade right now. It’s not wild to think their opening night Top 9 looks like this:
Cates-Zegras-Michkov
Martone-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Luchanko-TippettCates-Zegras-Michkov
Martone-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Luchanko-Tippettfoerester will likely be out with a torn bicep, making way for Shabanov.
where’s brink? maybe in a deal for a defenseman?
i don’t see luchanko or martone ready for opening night tbh. cates will likely stay at C.

Foerster-Luchanko-TippettIl say it again, Cates is not playing wing after signing that deal. He is the 3rd line center. Lead Pipe lock.
I also don’t think Luchanko makes the team.
where’s brink?
I do find the Brink love here amusing. Enjoy him here while you can.

I’m just saying it’s possible. If the Flyers continue to add at center, and there’s more than the draft to do that, somebody flips to wing. Having a defensively responsible forward who can score from outside while cheating to the D side of the puck flipped to the wing is not a bad move. Having Kurri do that for Gretzky and having Leino do it here for Briere shows the idea can work. Zegras is the guy sticking in the middle. Lots of variables. Just throwing out possibilities that are not unreasonable.

never said i love brink but unless he’s being traded i don’t see him on the 4th line.
in this scenario you have luchanko and martone on the team already when in reality they probably aren’t making the team yet, you’ve moved cates to wing for some reason and brink is apparently not on the team anymore? help me get there lol

It’s only a matter of time and are they good enough to take spots from the guys who are here. For example, Martone is a LW. How many LWs do the Flyers have on the roster who are better than he is today? I don’t think the answer is four. Of course, unless the Flyers add a center, Cates is going to be a solid 2-way center here . . . but the future is coming. Cates is the kind of player I want to keep in my Top 9 even when the Flyers do add more NHL-caliber centers. There was an issue in ANA with Zegras being flipped to wing. Leave him at center and get a defensive winger cheating high. Problem solved.
