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.
It’s been very quiet so far as relates to European players. Last year, there were some hints related to Abols and Eklind. This year, not so much.
