They didn’t roll the dice with MM as it was a no brainer pick.
In hindsight yes.
At the time it was very much up for debate whether he would ever be able to come over to NA.
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?
They rolled the dice on Michkov’s ability to get out of Russia quickly and that was a franchise-altering moment. They need to be willing to make that kind of gamble again. I just don’t get the feeling like Frondell is anything more than another middle-six talent.
And for every Patrick there’s a Pasta, Rielly or Barzal that missed a chunk of their draft seasons and turned out just fine.
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.
