Pelletier will stay.
Not sure either come here. I do think they have interest in Bennett. Nelson has long been a Flyer-killer but consensus seems to be that he’s in decline.
Yes, Gator has a shot. I wouldn’t be shocked if Jay McKee is offered that job (assuming Luke Richardson, as much rumored, gets the Flyers AC job).
Same agent in Russia or same NHl agent? Most European players have two agents: one who represents them in the NHL, one at home.
They did the aligned systems previously. Tortorella was against it, believing a coach should have totally freedom to implement his own systems. It doesn’t really seem to make a big difference, one way or the other. Most players adapt.
They aren’t think playoffs or bust in 2o25-26. They hope to get a little better next year and a lot better in 2026-27. Will it work? It’s fair to say believe it when you see it. This is now an 11-year-process, and counting. Three different GMS, various coaches, but still, one long cycle with only one playoff series win and a lot of playoff misses. It’s fair to be skeptical until you see results.
I would be shocked if Martone drops out of the top five (I think he goes third). I don’t expect Frondell to go in the top three. O’Brien rose with a bullet in the second half. I wouldn’t mind that pick forPhilly if this scenario actually played out. However, if you’re drafting BA prospect and not taking a center no matter what, that would be Martone in this mock.
Also, I don’t think Ryabkin falls to 40.
No to Rossi. Can’t have BOTH your projected C1 and C2 (Luchanko) being sub six-foot, when you also have Drysdale, York and possibly Andrae as top six D.
I am not especially optimistic of the Flyers landing a true top-flight center this offseason. I have heard there is interest in Gabe Vilardi, moving him back to center from wing. But how doable it is to acquire him, I do not know.
