On to round two, man, it’s an exciting time to be a Flyers fan. Building a championship team is a process, but it’s gonna be fun watching it all come together in the next five or so seasons.
pure entertainment.
Really happy with the first round picks, considering this is a pretty underwhelming draft in terms of high-end talent, they did well to get Martone and then add a big center in Nesbitt. Both are somewhat project kids who need to work on their foot speed, but that’s something that can be addressed in the long term.
They’ve gotta just keep building brick by brick until you’ve got something, keep piling up the picks and young players, success will come! I forget how many picks we have in the second round now, but if you look back to the 2023 NHL draft the Flyers are starting to compile some good prospects. Brick by brick.
of course you are happy as you are a flyers felator. had martone not fell in their lap they would have taken someone else. luckily those layers were off the board
success will come. no doubt 100% guaranteed. what could go wrong.
as I said they never or rarly mention skill…shocked didnt throw more cliches out
– who is the loud voice in the “room” pushing for all these 3rd line centers? he is either a genius or a dope. we will find out in a few years to see if danny still has a job.
– 3 early picks ( 2 in the top 13 one 51 in the 2nd). All 3 project to be 3rd line centers. why are they adverse to draft players with more upside?. Nesbitt has a comparable to ryanl lowry. is that what you want out of a 12th overall pick? overpaid to move up.
– “jonesy” is so annoying. way he acts you think they just one the cup and are the model nhl franchise. mind boggling how they themselves
why are the talking points about a player the flyers draft rarely about his talent and skill? oh he is big, he is strong, and the like.
another big guy with skating issues.
do lobe the typical flyers cliché from “jonesy”: “he looks like a flyer”. what does that mean? he is a loser?
This specifically really annoys me nowadays. Who is their target audience for this kind of stuff? “Looking like a Flyer”? This team hasn’t won anything in decades exactly because of this outdated notion that The team needs to be big and grinding. Do they think the fanbase prefers this type of player to the high skilled players we see going late in to the playoffs every season? Maybe the old heads who followed the team in the 70’s and 80’s.
I hope Nesbitt works out, I actually would have been happy to take him at 22.
I have ZERO problem with going BPA with Martone, even though I had my heart set on Hagens. It never crossed my mind that Martone would be there at 6.
best part is nesbitt said he didnt follwo the flyers so he doesn’t know what that means ” to be a flyer”. Guess thats a good thing.

no complaints with martone pick at all ( do they try him at center?). no issue at all.
trading the 2 late 1st to move up no problem. Taking nesbitt is very very questionable. dont like it at all. seems like the laughtchenko move. not high ceiling guys. flyers love taking 3rd line centers early in the draft. No way was Nesbitt the BPA. seems like an overpay.
how many potential 3rd line center do the flyers have in their system now?
watching “jonesy” grin like he is the smartest man in the room is pure entertainment. flyers always have to flyer at some point.
– the Jett is either flyers or juniors. no AHL for him
– brink put up 41 points in his 2nd nhl season. he wil be a fixture in the flyers lineup unless traded. not even debatable.
– abols is a 1 year placeholder if that. no need to sign a 4th line vet and overpay. keep him or even that dorwart kid at this point. if they dont cut then can always find a 4th line center.
If Shabanov signs July 1st, he will be playing a top 6 role to start the season. Be curious, who gets pushed out. They have to give him plenty of time to play in a top 6 forward role to see if he can play in the NHL. By the end of the year, Shabanov will stay in the NHL or go back to the KHL.
brink could get traded, otherwise he is in the lineup for the foreseeable future. Brink will get phased out as the flyers love them some owen tippet. not gonna move the forrest ( as they shouldnt at this time).
