Flyers Quick Hits for July 5: Development Camp, Community Caravan, @FlyersAlumni Ireland trip
Quick HIts: Flyers Development Camp, Caravan, Alumni in Ireland
Bill, any insight why we did not tender Pelletier. I thought he played well enough at the end of the season. Is this just because of his size?
I haven’t had a chance to ask yet. Danny Briere initially indicated the plan was to qualify Pelletier. Then the plan changed. Tampa pounced immediately. I’d have rather risked waivers this season rather than a non-tender.It’s an inexpensive contract.

They want a big winger with some PP/offense pedigree. And they want to take care of that today, not wait to see what’s left.
The quote plug-in has been added to reply to a specific post.
thank you for adding the plug-in, Bill.
not sure if you received any feedback on it yet but there seems to be an issue with the number of times you can quote and continue the same conversation with someone, it always includes all of the previous quotes, and I think after 3 the quote option simply does nothing when you click submit… ideally it should just show the post you’re directly quoting, not all the previous ones, and for an unlimited number of times (my humble opinion).
also, the “reply” option is still there, but does it do anything?
Part or all of a previous reply can be taken out with quoting it. The reply option takes you to the reply section but doesn’t quote it. It’s functional but still a little clunky.

Meltzer’s Mock Draft
I’m far from a scouting expert, but I think it is fair to point out Mike Richards at Kitchener in his first 2 seasons had significant more production then Brady Martin At Soo. Richards showed an ability to be a much more consistent play maker then Martin. I believe there is some debate whether Martin should stay at center with his playing style and ability to shoot. I just go back to this draft pick @ 6 will probably be the highest draft pick this regime will pick unless something really goes wrong. The more likely outcome is if the Flyers select again this high, another GM will be in place. Briere has to select a forward who he believes can be a first line player. Now in the end, he may believe that is the case for Martin. I would find it perplexing if Hagens or Marrtone on the board, Briere believes Martin has the higher chance to be a first line forward.
Martin didn’t immediately get promoted in the lineup, and the Soo were a pretty meh team this past year. Richards had a better team around him in Kitchener. I’m not advocating for Martin specifically but it’s not totally apples-to-apples. By the U18s, Martin looked like a legit top-10 candidate.
