According to HockeyDB Eric Lindros made the all rookie team in 1992-1993 Season.
Wheeler at The Athletic has the Flyers taking Hagens, which I would be overjoyed for.
Martin DOES seem like that same old Flyers 70’s mentality pick. He, IMO, is not the “swing for the fences” type player they need to take at #6. Especially when they have 2 more first rounders to use. Scott Laughton is a good comparison.
Hagens
Frondell
McQueen
O’BrienThese 4 would be my favorite choices based on availability. I am pretty sure 1 or 2 of them will be there at 6.
Recchi, Amonte, Rob Blake, Juneau all taken in the 4th round in 1988.
I would rather the Flyers take a huge swing at #6 than once again going safe. They did that with Luchanko over Buium IMO.
If Hagens is there at 6 he should be the guy. (Latest Athletic mock has the Flyers taking Hagens). If he is not there I go Frondell, if he is not there, then I take the big swing at McQueen.
Danny is a putz. another laughton to hold onto for too many years
Bill, are you going to do something about these alt accounts?
you just couldn’t resist, could you? You simply can’t help yourself…
@Bill Meltzer can you do something about these alts that are being created? We know who is doing it…..
Seems like another underwhelming hire.
Stay away from Desnoyers. That will be another pick that haunts the Flyers if made IMOI am not familiar enough with either coach to be able to form an informed opinion.
As for Desnoyers, I am always a little leery of players from the Q, the guality of competition especially on defense always seems to be a little lacking.
It seems there has been more and more noise about McQueen lately. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is who the Flyers pick.
If I am Dallas I let Duchene and Granlund walk so I have enough to resign Robertson. Trading him to keep those 2 is stupid.
In hindsight yes.
At the time it was very much up for debate whether he would ever be able to come over to NA.
I really don’t agree with this. The only comparable people kept using was the Fedotov situation and that was because he tried to skip out on military service. Plenty of other Russian players were coming over all the time. He was never not coming over. Now if you want to say the three year wait was a factor then I can agree with that. But there was never any real doubt he would not be in the NHL within three years.
McQueen’s my preferred pick at #6. He possibly has the highest upside in the entire draft, he’s huge and he plays down the middle.
He is definitely the biggest Hail Mary swing. I’ve seen many reports that he is totally healed. That the problem was misdiagnosed and it turned out to be bone related and that the bone is now completely healed.
I just think the Flyers are too gunshy after what happened with Patrick. His combo of size and skill is exactly what the Flyers need, do they have the guts to take that chance?
decent cap hit and term. A little longer than I anticipated for a little less than I anticipated. I guess everyone wins.
It seems too long for us fans. I’m sure they really have no choice as the arenas may have other events scheduled in the interim.
Here’s my prediction:
This site is going to die. The only poster who seems to be talking to himself most days is yes it’s me 2050. No one wants to even engage him so traffic to the site will slowly shrivel.
The only other folks posting are so negative by default that Bill will get fed up with the daily downers and they will turn on Bill the second he defends something the flyers do.
Good luck with this weird little group.
Between that and Black_Francis creating all these fake accounts, its been a rough start for sure.
