quantity is not greater than quality. majority are of the vanilla variety. nothing special. every team has those types. you act like all these picks will turn into nhl players. majority will not. flyers have shown the do not trade their “prospects”. do they ever sell high on someone they drafted?
there is no plan.
You only have to fill so many roster spots. You don’t need to have every prospect turn into a “special” player. Michkov already is, and Martone will deliver. That’s two out of those five Top 13 picks. Should Luckanko and Nesbitt become adequate regulars in their roles, that’s a plenty good result. Drysdale, the vaunted “puck-moving” defenseman, is gonna Drysdale.
they can 100% be buyers if it fits longer term; as they should. they have very little to sell.
if they are in the playoff “mix” I can easily see them buying to an extent and moving out some picks/prospects (not their “high” end ones)
Forwards develop faster. They’re within a year or two of having some surplus players to put a decent trade package together. They’ve got plenty of forward prospects. Likely more than enough will develop to fill any holes and the remainder becomes trade bait. This is clearly the plan. Still not sure how it’s a problem.

DB already announced that they are in buyer mode so i wouldn’t count on it.
The Flyers are in buyer mode until they aren’t. They won’t be buying this trade deadline even if all the band aids hold, they catch some lucky breaks and they are in playoff contention.

I hope they miss the playoffs for the next three years, and continue to sell off players to acquire picks at the deadline, that’s how you rebuild through the draft. You lose, a lot! San Jose is gonna be an absolute wagon of a team, they’re losing a lot, but drafting really well…be the Sharks!!

Zito putting it all together for the Panthers doesn’t diminish that the team was built around those 2 anchors and it took many years after they were drafted to get where they are. The Flyers haven’t even drafted those players. The clock hasn’t even started on an actual rebuild.
It certainly could happen that the Flyers miss the playoffs again this year, they win the lottery and draft McKenna or finish badly enough to pull a rabbit out of a hat with another 13th or higher pick. We went through all the recent Cup winners, and while they’ve all built their teams a bit differently, they were all built solidly, deep, good sized and a bit nasty.
flyers will easily 99.9% miss the playoffs. flyers have nothing in common with the any recent cup winners.
flyers strategy is completely flawed on how to build a team.

@ yes its me 2050
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how it all plays out. For me they are headed down the right direction, you just have to continually build until you get the right combination of players, that’s a slow process. The Oilers had what, five 1st overall picks and they still haven’t won the Cup. From 2010 to 2015, inclusive, Florida drafted 3rd, 23rd, 2nd, 1st & 11th overall and it still took them eleven years after they drafted Barkov 2nd overall to get the right combo of players and coach. I hope I’m right and you’re wrong. They need to draft a #1 center though, or trade for one. All that being said, this is nowhere near a finished product, they just started.

The Flyers continue to build on a foundation of quicksand and are always scratching their heads and are always surprised at the results.
I really wonder how long a leash danny boy will have at the helm.
