Well, seeing how Colorado tried to trade talent for depth, and seeing what Rantanen is doing for Dallas, it would seem to me that the more talent at the top of the lineup, the better chance you have to win.
Rantanen is killing it. Wonder if someone loses their job over that trade.
Flyers are stuck in their winning ways. They need a total reset on how they approach the game.
“But like I said, when you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does… Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way. So depth will be important to us.”
@MB still need to hit big time with this pick as they really have no margin for error.
jett does not impress me in terms of him being the answer to any top 6 center solution. Not saying he wont be a good player. just dont see that much offensive upside.
At the end of the day (no matter where they pick) it comes down to Briere and his “team” making the correct pick.
They can’t afford to not hit a grand slam at this point. They just can’t. You then ask yourself do you have faith/confidence in this group to hit said grand slam.
@elcamo. I am also on the McQueen train. They need to take the risk and draft the high ceiling guys instead of the safe 3rd liner. This is the most likely scenario of them getting out of this decade + long disgracefull run.
They have the draft capital and a few prospects to make a move. If they have to overpay so be it as that’s the cost of doing business.
Somehow package those other 2 first and whatever it may take (bonk? Tippet? Brink?) to get into the top 10-12. Is it feasible? Don’t know.
It is just sad that after years of losing the flyers really do not have much at all to show for it.
Briere views Hagans as that franchise center. He has for 2 years now. My belief is he will try to move up to get acquire him. Will other teams be interested? Will he pay the price. Find out in 6 weeks.
@jd50 the flyers did not try to tank for a top pick. comical you actually believe that; actually it isn’t. They lucked into the pick.
