    The problem is they need a #1 defenseman. Just getting another top 4 plug-in doesn’t move the needle.

    I’m happy with Sanheim as their #1 Dman. He’s likely in the Top 20 for Dmen in the league but they need a helluva lot more around him and behind him. He’d look even better if the Flyers had that. A Top 4 plug-in would move the needle for THIS team. Even FLA went out and traded for Jones at the deadline.

    To be the best, you gotta beat the best. You don’t seriously think every other team in the league isn’t looking at what FLA has done to inform, at least somewhat, their own strategy going forward, do you?

    my dude the flyers are so far off from being able to lick florida’s ass it is sad. that is how far behind they are.

    florida will likely be bad again then good before the flyers are competitive. let that sink in.

    when you emulate the most recent cup winner you likely fall behind. dont be a follower be a leader. florida has made smart moves. flyers are incapable of making smart moves or being a leader.
    when you look at floridas drafts the last 8 years years they have received virtually no help from said drafts. makes their run even more impressive.

    Then why be a Flyers fan at all? The devil is in the details and they have to score big with #6 and, at the very least, one or two of the other picks they have in the first two rounds. That will be on them. At least you admit I’m right in that FLA’s success has been built on firing on all cylinders in terms of player acquisition but the current team is not loaded with their own high draft picks.

    their core is/was built on their draft picks. that is a 100% fact.

    go flyers become the next panthers. you can do it.

    why be a fan? I am at the point where I enjoy watching them fail more than win. that is what they have turned me into. all about the entertainment

    Ekblad and Barkov are core players. That’s two guys. Lundell is an outstanding depth center who still has some upside. Now he’s a guy who could help the Flyers. They did use draft picks and players they drafted to get other key pieces together. I still wouldn’t come close to saying FLA was built on their draft picks.

    If Sanheim is your #1, you are not a playoff team (which is pretty obvious at this point).

    Jones is getting the most ice time in Florida, Bouchard and Nurse are the top pairing in EDM. DAL has a fine overall D but I’m not sure any one of their guys is all that much better than Sanheim, maybe Heiskanen. I like Slavin in CAR. Those are the Final 4 teams. The top teams have solid D corps, not one great guy.

    I would love York at 6 mil per year long term. That gives us a lot of flexibility as the team gets better. Any more and bridge him and make him prove it
