    what a shitty lineup and roster this flyers team have assembled.

    if he isn’t traded, brink is a lock for a roster spot. as he should be, not even in question. one of the few I actually like.

    that is not entertaining at all. why would they want to add a depth guy? do they not have enough of those? 1 year deal suppose wont hurt anything.

    Yes, it’s not pretty. Hahahaha! I am willing to stick with the draft build up front and we won’t see much from that this year. Brink is the best of the bunch after the Top 6, but I would hope the Flyers develop past him unless he has more upside than I saw last year. To me, the earlier effort at drafting D with the first pick (Provorov, Sanheim, York yet passing on Makar!) was sort of ass backwards and I actually like the way the Flyers are set up to move forward. Draft those forwards. They contribute sooner and if you develop a stockpile, you have an asset to acquire plug-and-play D help. This year will still be tough even if they do make a few shrewd moves.

    I’m big on drafting offensive talent and developing them and acquiring via trade or free agency your defensive talent. Let’s take a look at the Flyers today:

    Your four lines:

    Tippett-Couturier-Konecny
    Foerster-Cates-Michkov
    Open-Open-Open
    Open-Poehling-Hathaway

    Guys who got in quite a few games in 24-25:
    Brink-Pelletier-Lycksell-Abols-Richard-Deslauriers

    Prospects who should get at least a few games:
    #6-Luchanko-Bump-Barkey

    That’s not a whole lot, but if they shore up the D and goaltending, it might be enough for an entertaining if not competitive team. Is there enough in the budget for a UFA forward, even a depth guy? I do see a lot of opportunity for any guy to surprise and really step up. I’m fine with staying the course up front. Hate away on this!
