speaking of drafting and development. if my math is correct, since 1990 they have drafted 12 fwds who have put up 60+points. half did it elsewhere. All 1st rd picks except for 2. Is that good drfating and development?
now do other teams.
all you poppy then yo can tell us how good the flyers have been. despite the results saying otherwsie
Looks like they’re about done spending money outside of extending York.
They’ll be slightly better, and maybe even entertaining. Martone is hopefully a nice long term addition who I’m guessing takes a year before entering the NHL. Maybe not.
I expect them to still be lottery bound.
After that, they should have a nice young core and be ready to splash some cash around.
who do you have as their core going forward?
i get that he is likely the odd man out but I do think rose to the occasion under torts. that brink-cates-foerester line was really good for stretches. he showed more tenacity than I initially thought he was capable of.
He showed some spark and some skill. He’s an admirable player. He’ll likely get quite a few games in this year yet. It just cracks me up that every time I’ve said the Flyers were going to move away from smallish players like him, even before the draft, I always heard his name brought up as if I had just taken a dump on their kid’s birthday cake.
he will be a regular in the lineup on a daily basis. accept it.
what’s the flyers goal after yesterday? what is the plan? they sign guys who will really not improve the team. they are still going to be bad. why not then just evaluate what you have in-house. keep the cap space to for down the line to see if any deals pop up or to broker a deal to get additional assets/players back.
just more spinning in the hamster wheel.
you are not watching nay USHL games you turd. unlike you I know several on that team. yes they are taking a chance as that is what good organizations do. they roll the dice high end potential. unlike the 3rd line flyers. who cares what other team do dumbass.
point was with all the public info out there even stevie wonder can see you take a stab at that kind of player when you have 4 picks in the same rd and he was available every time they were on the clock
gonna lose what? my bad you played A level hockey with the quakers.
lol now you’re coming unglued. flyers can afford to roll the dice on a dude like Nesbitt after they overachieved with Martone. The draft dropped of significantly in the mid-1st round. what’s 22 and 31 gonna realistically get you? the 3rd line flyers you like to complain about? no issue with them drafting a monster kid who is guaranteed to stick with C at the NHL level.
again, YOU saying you think they should have taken Ryabkin because someone on the internet told you that’s what you’re supposed to think doesn’t mean anything around here. gotta eventually have your own opinions. go peddle your garbage takes at HF Boards where you can whine about how the flyers won’t develop players you’ve never heard of.
got any more questions you want to put out there for the class? how often are you refreshing before you realize everyone ignores you?
omg
yeah so unglued. didn’t say anything about the 2 late 1st as they are not part of the conversation. now nesbitt is a guaranteed nhl player. love it. flyers felators in full force.
Ryabkin has more upside than the 3 fwds they took in the 2nd rd. fact. redundant to take the same type player 3 picks in a row where the potential is all the same. start using common sense seeing you do not watch nor know anything about said draft. where do you get your info on the draft from, be curios to hear.

Brink is a winger. Flyers drafted 4 centers, 1 winger all of whom are years away from playing in the nhl, if at all.
I can tell you right now Martone isn’t years away from taking a top 9 wing spot on this team. He’ll have a shot at getting it this year. My guess is, he’s already among the six best wingers the Flyers have. Brink is also a redundant piece with Pelletier around. If one sticks, the other is gone sooner. They could be outplayed by others who’ll get a crack: Dorwart, Bump, et al. One or the other could be packaged to get something they need more than wingers: goalie, Dman, center who can win faceoffs. We’ll know a lot more by Wednesday.
any sensible person would know I was not referring to Martone in my post. Martone is projected to be a top line winger. Will have very little effect on brink.
brink is head and shoulders better than pelletier. still some upside with brink. terrible comparison to me. funny to me how you easily discard a guy who put up 40+ points(which is more than Pelletier’s career) on a cheap contract for 2 years on this shit team. He is a lock to be a regular, as he should, unless moved. why is this so hard to comprehend?
your statement was they are moving on from brink ASAP because of this draft. that is clearly false.
this coming from the guy who has cates as the top line LW and Brink not even in the lineup.
If the draft didn’t convince you they’re looking to move beyond Brink ASAP, nothing will. That’s the Flyers talking, not me. I already said I like Cates’ game well enough that I want him in my Top 9 even once they improve the other centers enough to make that happen. None of that is guaranteed to happen by this opening night but there’s a chance of it.
ok so le me see if I have this broken down correctly.
Brink is a winger. Flyers drafted 4 centers, 1 winger all of whom are years away from playing in the nhl, if at all.
so help me understand how they are moving past brink ASAP.
1. not a chance you watched more USHL games than I have, let alone Muskegon. He played less games than every center on that team this season. Carolina is taking a stab at him. nearly every team passed on him twice. but somehow you will turn this into “flyers malpractice” because management lives rent-free in your head. but i’m not going to judge the flyers because they didn’t pick a player YOU like. that is such a loser barometer. why would anyone in god’s green earth give a flying fuck who YOU like? you don’t know anything.
2. with all the info publicly available? so you’re just googling him and coming up with your expert analysis? GTFO.
you’re gonna lose here every day. better crank up the tunes!

clearly I am not as versed in the sport as you. I mean your knowledge is off the charts.
You seem to have been taken off course by some overemphasis on skill and speed, size doesn’t matter, Dmen must lead the rush thinking that poisoned a few minds over the last several years. Once you get over that, you have some potential. You have the passion no matter how misdirected it currently is.
not taken of course at all. never ever in any kind of weather did I say size doesn’t matter nor have I ever put a overemphasis on speed and skill.

none o f what you posted chnages anything I said.
Of course not. You still don’t understand hockey.
clearly I am not as versed in the sport as you. I mean your knowledge is off the charts.
lol you complain the flyers didn’t pick a player you never heard of a week ago.
when you look for things to be up in arms about – things you clearly know nothing about – it tells me nothing in your life could be going all that great – otherwise you wouldn’t be here every day sulking. i’ll ask again: how many of that kid’s games did you watch? do you even know how to pronounce his name? LOL
the traffic to this site is so light because you’re the only one posting, shaking your fist in the air hoping someone will pay attention to you. it’s sad. and here I am, out of the kindest of my heart, giving you the time of day. and for what? do you have anything new to add? I am now dumber for interacting with you.
what’s the old saying, I have forgotten more about hockey then you will ever know. go back to the buzz. keep it alive.
don’t have to look for things, it is right in front of you.
I will answer your question in 2 parts.
1. more games than you.
2. with all the info that is publicly available. you don’t draft 3 fwds with 3rd line upside over a guy with 1st line upside. common sense. do you think that is good asset management? do you think that is good value?
now go eat dinner and get ready for work tomorrow.
always entertaining you defending th flyers.
There’s nothing wrong with being critical of the team but the fact is you regurgitate the same complaints all day, every day and bring nothing new to the conversation. it’s just whining at this point. what’s your end goal lol?
if you want to continue to drive traffic away from Bill’s new site and discourage others from posting here just because they don’t feel like engaging with you then, by all means, keep doing what you’re doing. I’m sure Bill really appreciates you making this place unbearable to visit.
dems da facts, homes. your whole personality is just being an angry troll that listens to terrible punk rock. very edgy!
you felate the flyers at almost every turn. not complaints facts. not whining facts. you just dont like said facts. not sure why.
any other breaking news you want to share?
I have nothing to be angry about. all good in my world.
– They clearly overcompensated for size on players who are many years away. By that time the nhl trend will change again. flyers always following.
– flyers have next to zero puck moving dman in the system.
Yes, in three years the league will be dominated by teams filled with skilled 160 pound players and defensemen who couldn’t break an egg with their hitting but boy can they skate with the puck and get caught out of position on their way to yet another -3 night on the scoresheet.
none o f what you posted chnages anything I said.
though in 3 years the flyers will still be 3 years anyway. always chasing the current trend.
with 4 2nd round picks how on earth do you not swing for a high risk/high reward type in Ryabkin
watch a lot of games of his? LOL
anyway, don’t be surprised when foerester can’t start the season due to a torn bicep which is why shabanov will make sense. at least that’s the rumor around the hot dog stands.
always entertaining you defending th flyers.
you are a day late and dollar short on the tyson info. he hurt it 2 weeks ago.
flyers were interested in shabanov long before he got hurt. one has nothing to do with the other
solid draft with not much high end talent added to the orginization.
– with 4 2nd round picks how on earth do you not swing for a high risk/high reward type in Ryabkin (or anyone of that ilk)? no need to draft 3 other forwards with 3rd/4th line potential. Seeing how the flyer culture is so strong surely they can turn around a kid like Ryabkin no?
– They clearly overcompensated for size on players who are many years away. By that time the nhl trend will change again. flyers always following.
– Carter nice value pick. hope not the next Ian Forbes.
– when you pick at 12th you don’t take a potential 3rd line center who you think might be a 2nd lien center. with multiple first you need to take a swing for a potential home run.
– well Danny will either look like a genius or a dumb ass in a few years as these drafts are where he is supposed to make his mark. Unless of course he has a kevin adams type job security
– flyers have next to zero puck moving dman in the system.
