Well, do you really believe if the Flyers valued Hague as a top 4 option, they did not have the assets to better NSH’s offer.
The Flyers literally don’t have a legit NHL 4C man (Sissons) and Lauzon is a veteran too and the Flyers need to add not swap. Hague individually was never a big deal, the Flyers need to fill a D spot. That’s why trades are tricky for the Flyers. They have too many holes yet themselves.
And I doubt there will be very many “needle movers” available at any position. If they go the UFA route it’s going to be either a huge overpay, or a guy trying to hold on to his career and get one more paycheck before he is out of the league. Offer sheets may be there, but that would also entail an overpay in money and assets.
It will be trades where Briere will fill his holes, at least in the short term. But that is just my opinion.
Some people are talking about Ekblad, but I just don’t see why he would want to sign here long term in a million years. By the time we are good he will be at the tail end of his career. Why would any guy do that? Unless they are just in it for the money. Then do we really want that guy anyway?
Anyone beyond round three is pretty much a “hope and a prayer”, but you never know. Without a third round pick we got six really good prospects in rounds 1 & 2, it’s gonna be three plus years before we find out what’s there in my opinion but a really good draft for the team. Lots to be happy about. Watching these kids grow and develop is all part of the fun.
Some people think Martone makes the team this camp. It’s not like they don’t have spots up front that need an upgrade right now. It’s not wild to think their opening night Top 9 looks like this:
Cates-Zegras-Michkov
Martone-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Luchanko-TippettIl say it again, Cates is not playing wing after signing that deal. He is the 3rd line center. Lead Pipe lock.
I also don’t think Luchanko makes the team.
The Flyers must have a great skating coach because for the most part these picks all have skating issues according to their scouting reports. .
1) 6’5″ 225 lbs
2) 6’1″ 200 lbs
3) 6’2″ 210 lbs
4) 6’5″ 195 lbsLOVE IT!!!
Yes! I’ve seen enough smurf hockey where the Flyers get pushed around like shopping carts. The teams that went to the conference finals were big and mean except for Carolina, which did carry a few smaller guys.
So far the Flyers have drafted a medium sized college basketball team lol
pure entertainment.
Right, you gotta love it.
2nd Round Flyers picks: 36th (4th pick), 40th (8th) and 48th (16th).
Today is the day you take a big swing on a player like Ryabkin.
why are the talking points about a player the flyers draft rarely about his talent and skill? oh he is big, he is strong, and the like.
another big guy with skating issues.
do lobe the typical flyers cliché from “jonesy”: “he looks like a flyer”. what does that mean? he is a loser?
This specifically really annoys me nowadays. Who is their target audience for this kind of stuff? “Looking like a Flyer”? This team hasn’t won anything in decades exactly because of this outdated notion that The team needs to be big and grinding. Do they think the fanbase prefers this type of player to the high skilled players we see going late in to the playoffs every season? Maybe the old heads who followed the team in the 70’s and 80’s.
I hope Nesbitt works out, I actually would have been happy to take him at 22.
I have ZERO problem with going BPA with Martone, even though I had my heart set on Hagens. It never crossed my mind that Martone would be there at 6.
