Have you seen their parts? How many teams have better parts than the Panthers?
Not many but no one has as good a team as FLA. The D, after Ekblad, was put together through trades and free agency. Forsling was claimed on waivers. Their 7th leading scoring forward was Evan Rodriguez at less than .4 PPG. I watched their parts carefully in the playoffs. The parts are enviable. The team is better.
when it comes to culture, the “room”, and genuine caring for each other the flyers are not far behind. a few correct moves they will be a force to be reckon with in the future.
can one say their front office knows what they are doing?
It shouldn’t since he already has a full NHL season under his belt.[/quote]one would think I agree. flyers have 1 elite blue chip prospect. if MM is excluded I disgree with that ranking.
Is there any path for Hart to return based on what you may know or have heard?
In your opinion is there a path to return.

Skill, coaching, execution. Without the skill and the coaching they are the Buffalo Sab
..
Looks like Pronman at the Athletic has the Flyers prospect pipeline ranked in the top 8. We will know the exact rank tomorrow I guess.
any idea if that includes MM as part of the prospect pool
Unless he blows the doors off everyone at camp, he should go back to Juniors. He did NOT accomplish this last preseason. What I saw was a kid who started to get overwhelmed towards the end of camp as teams started to ramp up their intensity, then I saw a kid who was completely overmatched at the NHL level before being benched and ultimately sent down when the team couldn’t hide it anymore. Torts either got entranced by his obvious speed and it blinded him to all the other shortcomings, or the team was trying to save face when they didnt pick Zeev Buium because Andrae was already on the roster.
He produced 6 assists in the AHL playoffs, though for the most part completely disappeared against Hershey. One would think that a high pick who is supposedly NHL ready would look a lot better than he did when, once again, the intensity ramped up.
My hope for his is that he somehow gets traded out of Guelph to a team that can contend, where he doesn’t have to be the sole decent player on his roster. This is one of those instances where the 19 year old rule hurts a player. I wonder if Europe is an option?
One thing for sure is that I don’t think he is NHL ready. Hopefully he surprises everyone and makes me eat my words.
That was such a bullshit excuse by Briere and if he truly thinks that way, pure incompetence. Andrae was never looked at as a future franchise defenseman, Buium was and is projected to be that. They weren’t competing for the same roster spot. Buium is also 6′ despite the size comment.
Flyers were drafting for perceived need, instead of BPA. As it is, both #1 center and #1 defense still need to be desperately addressed.
It felt like to me they were trying to save face because if anyone truly thought Jett was ready for the NHL last year, they were incompetent talent evaluators but that is possible. Remember Torts wanted TDA because he passed the “eye test”, until he played for the Flyers. Torts was instrumental in Drysdale also because he also passed the “eye test” until he came to the Flyers. I think we’re seeing a theme behind the Flyers poor roster decisions over the last few years. Meanwhile the analytics department are collecting checks on the beach.
like they did with Bonk.
Also, briere mentioned york and JD as to no buium. there is zero doubt his agent played a role in them not drafting buium.
you are the target market for the flyers. they love you.
another top 4 dman and they are on their way. once bonk makes his presence known look out.
morning, noon or night
Weekday, weekend… doesn’t matter.
Dog days of summer or the dead of winter
One thing I can always count on is that you’ll be here, pounding that keyboard (likely the only thing you’re pounding other than sleeves of Oreos)It’s comforting, really. This is your life, cliff. you da man!
Another big yawn ..thought you were never posting here again. What happened?
Let’s get our MacKinnon/Makar, Barkov/Ekblad, etc before putting the culture cart before the horse because without that, the rest is just something that comes out of the other end of the horse.
It’s also true some top rated players in the league haven’t won Cups either. The Flyers clearly need another Top 4 Dman. No question about that. Willing to find out what Zegras can do as the offensive 1C which he clearly will be. It’s a team game. The Flyers will be noticeably better this year.

that is your opinion and far from a fact.
pre-season sometimes is fools gold. unless he flat out dominates back to juniors. I have no faith in the coach putting jett in a position to succeed if he makes the team seeing the coach is pushing for the playoffs. he will straddled to the 4th line with less than ideal linemates.
I think my opinions and conjecture will end up closer to being right than your’s. That’s already proving out. Greg Cronin flipped Zegras to wing in ANA. Maybe the Flyers should have hired Cronin. If Luchanko wins a slot on the team, he wins it. It does simplify things up front. They can still do the 8 game regular season look if pre-season isn’t enough. Options abound if everyone comes close to delivering.
already proving out lol. love to hear how that is already “proving” out. you crack me up.
options abound on the way to the playoffs. tocchet COY. Go flyers.
