ParticipantIt’s only a matter of time
of course it’s only a matter of time. but you say this could be their top 9 on opening night lol
cates got selke votes the first year they moved him to C while playing over his head. they traded laughton and poehling. i think it’s safe to say cates will remain in the middle.

I’m speculating about what’s possible. I’d like to see a fun team to watch this year. I started watching again more closely last year mostly because of Michkov who made the team last year at 19 . . . and delivered.

ParticipantNice draft by the Flyers
June 29, 2025 at 7:53 am #13369June 29, 2025 at 9:39 am #13370yes its me 2050
Participantsolid draft with not much high end talent added to the orginization.
– with 4 2nd round picks how on earth do you not swing for a high risk/high reward type in Ryabkin (or anyone of that ilk)? no need to draft 3 other forwards with 3rd/4th line potential. Seeing how the flyer culture is so strong surely they can turn around a kid like Ryabkin no?
– They clearly overcompensated for size on players who are many years away. By that time the nhl trend will change again. flyers always following.
– Carter nice value pick. hope not the next Ian Forbes.
– when you pick at 12th you don’t take a potential 3rd line center who you think might be a 2nd lien center. with multiple first you need to take a swing for a potential home run.
– well Danny will either look like a genius or a dumb ass in a few years as these drafts are where he is supposed to make his mark. Unless of course he has a kevin adams type job security
– flyers have next to zero puck moving dman in the system.

Yes, in three years the league will be dominated by teams filled with skilled 160 pound players and defensemen who couldn’t break an egg with their hitting but boy can they skate with the puck and get caught out of position on their way to yet another -3 night on the scoresheet.

watch a lot of games of his? LOL
anyway, don’t be surprised when foerester can’t start the season due to a torn bicep which is why shabanov will make sense. at least that’s the rumor around the hot dog stands.

are you referring to the “UFC fight training” picture where he’s standing next to physical therapist Jonathan Kirsch?

Participantalways entertaining you defending th flyers.
There’s nothing wrong with being critical of the team but the fact is you regurgitate the same complaints all day, every day and bring nothing new to the conversation. it’s just whining at this point. what’s your end goal lol?
if you want to continue to drive traffic away from Bill’s new site and discourage others from posting here just because they don’t feel like engaging with you then, by all means, keep doing what you’re doing. I’m sure Bill really appreciates you making this place unbearable to visit.
dems da facts, homes. your whole personality is just being an angry troll that listens to terrible punk rock. very edgy! you’re the new cliff! now go get me a hot dog.
