This specifically really annoys me nowadays. Who is their target audience for this kind of stuff? “Looking like a Flyer”? This team hasn’t won anything in decades exactly because of this outdated notion that The team needs to be big and grinding. Do they think the fanbase prefers this type of player to the high skilled players we see going late in to the playoffs every season? Maybe the old heads who followed the team in the 70’s and 80’s.
I hope Nesbitt works out, I actually would have been happy to take him at 22.
I have ZERO problem with going BPA with Martone, even though I had my heart set on Hagens. It never crossed my mind that Martone would be there at 6.

best part is nesbitt said he didnt follwo the flyers so he doesn’t know what that means ” to be a flyer”. Guess thats a good thing.
– who is the loud voice in the “room” pushing for all these 3rd line centers? he is either a genius or a dope. we will find out in a few years to see if danny still has a job.
– 3 early picks ( 2 in the top 13 one 51 in the 2nd). All 3 project to be 3rd line centers. why are they adverse to draft players with more upside?. Nesbitt has a comparable to ryanl lowry. is that what you want out of a 12th overall pick? overpaid to move up.
– “jonesy” is so annoying. way he acts you think they just one the cup and are the model nhl franchise. mind boggling how they themselves
as I said they never or rarly mention skill…shocked didnt throw more cliches out
Really happy with the first round picks, considering this is a pretty underwhelming draft in terms of high-end talent, they did well to get Martone and then add a big center in Nesbitt. Both are somewhat project kids who need to work on their foot speed, but that’s something that can be addressed in the long term.
They’ve gotta just keep building brick by brick until you’ve got something, keep piling up the picks and young players, success will come! I forget how many picks we have in the second round now, but if you look back to the 2023 NHL draft the Flyers are starting to compile some good prospects. Brick by brick.

of course you are happy as you are a flyers felator. had martone not fell in their lap they would have taken someone else. luckily those layers were off the board
success will come. no doubt 100% guaranteed. what could go wrong.
<p data-userway-font-size=”12″ style=”transition: all; font-size: 15px !important;” data-userway-s4-bigger-text-styled=”true”>no complaints with martone pick at all ( do they try him at center?). no issue at all.
<p data-userway-font-size=”12″ style=”transition: all; font-size: 15px !important;” data-userway-s4-bigger-text-styled=”true”>trading the 2 late 1st to move up no problem. Taking nesbitt is very very questionable. dont like it at all. seems like the laughtchenko move. not high ceiling guys. flyers love taking 3rd line centers early in the draft. No way was Nesbitt the BPA. seems like an overpay.
<p data-userway-font-size=”12″ style=”transition: all; font-size: 15px !important;” data-userway-s4-bigger-text-styled=”true”>how many potential 3rd line center do the flyers have in their system now?
<p data-userway-font-size=”12″ style=”transition: all; font-size: 15px !important;” data-userway-s4-bigger-text-styled=”true”>watching “jonesy” grin like he is the smartest man in the room is pure entertainment. flyers always have to flyer at some point.
The more pressing question here… how many franchises would be willing to give up two late first round picks to get what will basically amount to a third line center? That is my main beef. It appears to be a massive overpayment for what the player is projected to become.
On to round two, man, it’s an exciting time to be a Flyers fan. Building a championship team is a process, but it’s gonna be fun watching it all come together in the next five or so seasons.

I can’t complain with the selection of Martone. Was hoping one of the two was available @ 6- unexpected both available. I just do not see a path how Tippett will be on the roster 2 years from now unless Foerster falls off. Hope they sell high and do not beat the value out of him before moving him. As far as Nesbitt, we all knew they were going center with their next pick after Martone. Once McQueen was selected by ANA, pretty sure the prospects left who were considered first round and definitely projected to play center in the NHL were Nesbitt and Cootes. My preference would have been Cootes, but I understand the process.
If Ryabkin falls into the 3rd round, I sure hope the Flyers make the pick. I understand the warts, but at that point of the draft using a lottery ticket for him.
pure entertainment.
Right, you gotta love it.
2nd Round Flyers picks: 36th (4th pick), 40th (8th) and 48th (16th).
