ParticipantI have nothing to be angry about. all good in my world.
lol you complain the flyers didn’t pick a player you never heard of a week ago.
when you look for things to be up in arms about – things you clearly know nothing about – it tells me nothing in your life could be going all that great – otherwise you wouldn’t be here every day sulking. i’ll ask again: how many of that kid’s games did you watch? do you even know how to pronounce his name? LOL This place is not going to be like HF Boards no matter how much you want it to be. Why not just go there where everyone agrees with you? then you can go pat yourself on the back all day.
the traffic to this site is so light because you’re the only one posting, shaking your fist in the air hoping someone will pay attention to you. it’s sad. and here I am, out of the kindest of my heart, giving you the time of day. and for what? do you have anything new to add? I am now dumber for interacting with you.
but hey, this one’s for you:

what’s the old saying, I have forgotten more about hockey then you will ever know. go back to the buzz. keep it alive.
don’t have to look for things, it is right in front of you.
I will answer your question in 2 parts.
1. more games than you.
2. with all the info that is publicly available. you don’t draft 3 fwds with 3rd line upside over a guy with 1st line upside. common sense. do you think that is good asset management? do you think that is good value?
now go eat dinner and get ready for work tomorrow.

clearly I am not as versed in the sport as you. I mean your knowledge is off the charts.

You seem to have been taken off course by some overemphasis on skill and speed, size doesn’t matter, Dmen must lead the rush thinking that poisoned a few minds over the last several years. Once you get over that, you have some potential. You have the passion no matter how misdirected it currently is.

not taken of course at all. never ever in any kind of weather did I say size doesn’t matter nor have I ever put a overemphasis on speed and skill.
this coming from the guy who has cates as the top line LW and Brink not even in the lineup.

Participant1. not a chance you watched more USHL games than I have, let alone Muskegon. He played less games than every center on that team this season. Carolina is taking a stab at him. nearly every team passed on him twice. but somehow you will turn this into “flyers malpractice” because management lives rent-free in your head. but i’m not going to judge the flyers because they didn’t pick a player YOU like. that is such a loser barometer. why would anyone in god’s green earth give a flying fuck who YOU like? you don’t know anything.
2. with all the info publicly available? so you’re just googling him and coming up with your expert analysis? GTFO.
you’re gonna lose here every day. better crank up the tunes!

you are not watching nay USHL games you turd. unlike you I know several on that team. yes they are taking a chance as that is what good organizations do. they roll the dice high end potential. unlike the 3rd line flyers. who cares what other team do dumbass.
point was with all the public info out there even stevie wonder can see you take a stab at that kind of player when you have 4 picks in the same rd and he was available every time they were on the clock
gonna lose what? my bad you played A level hockey with the quakers.

Participantthis coming from the guy who has cates as the top line LW and Brink not even in the lineup.
If the draft didn’t convince you they’re looking to move beyond Brink ASAP, nothing will. That’s the Flyers talking, not me. I already said I like Cates’ game well enough that I want him in my Top 9 even once they improve the other centers enough to make that happen. None of that is guaranteed to happen by this opening night but there’s a chance of it.
June 29, 2025 at 5:21 pm #13462yes its me 2050

ok so le me see if I have this broken down correctly.
Brink is a winger. Flyers drafted 4 centers, 1 winger all of whom are years away from playing in the nhl, if at all.
so help me understand how they are moving past brink ASAP.

lol now you’re coming unglued. flyers can afford to roll the dice on a dude like Nesbitt after they overachieved with Martone. The draft dropped of significantly in the mid-1st round. what’s 22 and 31 gonna realistically get you? the 3rd line flyers you like to complain about? no issue with them drafting a monster kid who is guaranteed to stick with C at the NHL level.
again, YOU saying you think they should have taken Ryabkin because someone on the internet told you that’s what you’re supposed to think doesn’t mean anything around here. gotta eventually have your own opinions. go peddle your garbage takes at HF Boards where you can whine about how the flyers won’t develop players you’ve never heard of.
got any more questions you want to put out there for the class? how often are you refreshing before you realize everyone ignores you?

I can tell you right now Martone isn’t years away from taking a top 9 wing spot on this team. He’ll have a shot at getting it this year. My guess is, he’s already among the six best wingers the Flyers have. Brink is also a redundant piece with Pelletier around. If one sticks, the other is gone sooner. They could be outplayed by others who’ll get a crack: Dorwart, Bump, et al. One or the other could be packaged to get something they need more than wingers: goalie, Dman, center who can win faceoffs. We’ll know a lot more by Wednesday.

any sensible person would know I was not referring to Martone in my post. Martone is projected to be a top line winger. Will have very little effect on brink.
brink is head and shoulders better than pelletier. still some upside with brink. terrible comparison to me. funny to me how you easily discard a guy who put up 40+ points(which is more than Pelletier’s career) on a cheap contract for 2 years on this shit team. He is a lock to be a regular, as he should, unless moved. why is this so hard to comprehend?
your statement was they are moving on from brink ASAP because of this draft. that is clearly false.

omg
yeah so unglued. didn’t say anything about the 2 late 1st as they are not part of the conversation. now nesbitt is a guaranteed nhl player. love it. flyers felators in full force.
Ryabkin has more upside than the 3 fwds they took in the 2nd rd. fact. redundant to take the same type player 3 picks in a row where the potential is all the same. start using common sense seeing you do not watch nor know anything about said draft. where do you get your info on the draft from, be curios to hear.
speaking of drafting and development. if my math is correct, since 1990 they have drafted 12 fwds who have put up 60+points. half did it elsewhere. All 1st rd picks except for 2. Is that good drfating and development?

He’s a lock . . . unless he’s moved. He’s moving. Maybe not by opening night, but he’s moving . . . unless he shows the upside you’re talking about. Maybe he adds a few pounds and some strength this off season. I’m not rooting against him, I just don’t see him in any mid to long term plans.
