not trying to be a whiner but the site is unusable on mobile. ads take up 4/5 of the screen and it logs you out whenever you try to use the forums. quite literally only works on desktop.
So Briere was in Miami to personally scout the Russian prospect hopefuls. Feel pretty good about my prediction on him using at least 5 of his first 7 picks. Very confident he will draft one of the Russian goalies. In the future, the player will only sign the ELC when he is NHL ready. Russian players just are not interested in playing in the AHL for long periods of time. Need to learn from the Kolosov experience and not make the same mistake twice.
This is probably the most excited I’ve been as a Flyers fan in quite some time. This could be the start of something really good for this organization. What is it, seven picks in the first two rounds? That’s an unbelievable opportunity. Not to mention, they have an extra first rounder in 2027 as well.
They could easily try to move up. Do they try to move up from 22 or 31, or higher in the second round? I have no clue, but with the picks this would be the year to do it.
He is younger than Jet by a 6 weeks. Don’t see that being a bad thing. Though get what you are saying.
Flyers need potential difference makers over safe players at this time. Whether he is a diff maker who knows. Taking the next 3rd line player won’t help much going forward to me.
They need to hit a home run no matter the pick. That is a fact. Anything less more staying in the same spot they have occupied for years.
Not in this case. He missed much of this past season, and he’ll be 19 on Oct 2. (He missed the cutoff for last year’s Draft by two weeks). Not his fault, but he’s nearly a year older than some other prospects in this year’s Draft. That would be one thing if the injury was the only concern. But he’s been good — not great, not dominant with any regularity — the last two seasons when healthy. He’s a much-hyped project in a Draft that doesn’t have much superstar talent. He’s all about tools and vital stats (height, weight). Will it come together in a meaningful way? Maybe and maybe not. There is as much bust as superstar potential here. I’m not taking that level of risk in the six spot.
