doesnt matter how many years he got , look at the coaching lifespan. especially for the flyers. tocchet has no idea about these junior players and his opinion shouldn’t matter where it concerns the draft.
part of me is 100% happy they made this hire. can watch them spin their wheels for the next 5 years. at least the draft and free agency will be fun as they will do everything in their power to add players to win “now”. comcast loves wasting money on coaches with nothing to show for it.
Tocchet won’t be here in 3 years when those guys are ready to take off. his hire should have no bearing on who they take
Well considering Tocchet got 5 years and 5 million/yr, I think it is fair to assume Tocchet will have his input heard on the prospect rankings by the Flyers. Briere will have final say on who gets drafted. Also, the Tocchet hire represents a style of play and profile of player the organization wants to acquire. Again, Tocchet will have influence indirectly on the direction of the organization.
With Tocchet being named HC, I believe Frondell will be high up on their draft board. Desoyners and Martone probably will be higher then Hagens. If they want forwards who play more north/south, Hagens is probably the least likely to fit that mold.

I do think O’Brien is in play @ 6. Fits the profile of how the Flyers have been drafting. He is a younger prospect, which in theory there is more runway to grow. If he tests well at the combine, will not be surprised at all if he is the pick @ 6.
What agency represents hagens….
if they draft a center with the 6th will they rush that player into the lineup for 25/26? Could potentially have that player plus the Jett with ex selke and Cates. Then again they may add a center via trade for free agency.
Can the Jett play in the ahl next season or still juniors or nhl only?
really want to see them make a play for mcqueen with the abundance of other assets they have at their disposal.
Seems the Brady Martin rush has died down, I am starting to see most mocks take Desnoyers to the Flyers. I think I will be ok with that even if Frondell is still on the board. If Hagens is still there I think he needs to be the pick. You need skill and talent and I think Hagens has it in spades.
My order of preference depending on who is there at 6.
Hagens
Desnoyers
Frondell
Martin
O’Brienour late 1st round picks will probably determine who we get at 6th. If we can’t get a C at 6 then we have to take Cs in the late first and home one is a home run
With apologies to the late Mitch Hedberg: Goalie drafting is like a baked potato in a conventional oven. Draft one even if you don’t really want it right now. By time it’s ready, who knows?
No issue taking a goalie later. Do you really want to take one with the late 1st or early 2nd? Now if that is who they have as the BPA then so be it.
If the Oilers end up winning it or losing in the cup finals that trade last year will have backfired (same pick in a lesser draft). Never ever seen a trade in all of sports where you trade a current first for a future first and get nothing back.
