GDT: 2022 NHL Draft (And Trade Rumors) - Montreal - July 7 - July 8

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Lot of hate seemingly around Gauthier but everything I am reading is that he has a pretty high potential, just question is whether he reached it, no? In a draft that seems pretty thin I think I would rather swing for the fences with Guathier than take a "safer" pick like one of the d-men.

I listed in the last thread why I don't think he's a good pick, like someone else said, he's basically Owen Tippett

 

[Curufinwe]

When did Ghost become a RD?

He played the right side a lot in his Flyers career.

 

[GKJ]

He played the right side a lot in his Flyers career.

Provorov may have had his best season playing with him too, depending on which season you think was his best, that or the Niskanen year

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I don't think the devils will be pushovers this year, they got the cap space and roster/prospects to make shit happen

I don't think Emily Kaplan is talented.

Will any prospects reach their potential ceiling in Philly? Not a very good pattern of development here. For me, their development failure is why I wouldn't hate them trading the pick for a young established player.

 

[TCTC]

It makes perfect sense to go after DeAngelo one year after we had to pay a high draft pick to get rid of Ghost.

I don't think I could take this guy on my team. I can tolerate bad players, but I can not tolerate certified lowlife assholes.
Maybe he was relatively well-behaved off the ice in Carolina, but everytime I see him on the ice acting tough I want to puke.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks are also talking to teams about Dach (Jackets are one of teams)

Davidson is truly blowing it up and building team he wants it looks like

Kane/Toews control own paths if they want to follow Keith route. Jones is going to be face of franchise during rebuild it appears and be elder statesman with the kids on D in coming years

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

DeAngelo legitimately is an all offense guy. He’s good at that but he is actively bad defensively. It’s not just a stereotype, the numbers support it too. That’s just funny given the Flyers current defense core assuming Ellis can’t go 100% or at all. I just have no faith in the Flyers being able to leverage his strengths & weaknesses for the better end sum result.

We gave up assets to dump Ghost and then about a year later ... bahahahahaha

 

[Kelmitchell2]

I don't think Emily Kaplan is talented.

Lol I don't mean her

Provy plays best when you pair him with an offensive guy, provy is really good when he doesn't have to worry about being offensive, even though he has shown the ability to chip in, so I think him and Tony d would be a good pair, but that's just my opinion, even if it's not a popular one

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Man, Tony DeF***ingAngelo I swear to Jobu, Chuck couldn't be doing a better job of making me hate these f***s.

 

[Young Sandwich]

[FLYguy3911]

Might that be because the organization very much lacked these types of shoot-first forwards when Fletcher arrived, while there were several perceived "creators" in the pipeline, i.e. Farabee, Frost, Vorobyev?
And how does Bobby Brink fit the archteype here?

Bobby Brink had 35 goals in 43 games in the low scoring USHL in his draft year. He also played with Fletcher's son.

I don't think Fletcher took those players thinking he needed shoot-first players. He (and Flahr) took them thinking that's what wins games.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Pwease.

 

[Curufinwe]

Well if Dach is getting moved you can add another name to the list of disappointing picks around #5 made in the last 10 years.

There doesn't seem to be any accounts that Hurricanes players had issues with him off the ice, what was revealed about him in this past year is how badly he unraveled emotionally in the playoffs, the Rangers and Bruins (and their fans) obviously got to him. That ain't gonna fly here, we're way more willing to turn on our own players vocally. And I'm not someone who thinks Torts is like some hardline Keenan type, but I also know he isn't gonna put up with poor defensive players.

 

[GKJ]

Pwease.

If you look at what the Coyotes do, they always outsmart themselves by drafting someone too high. Every time.

 

[SnS]

So when does this board blow up?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Hawks are all in for Bedard.

If you look at what the Coyotes do, they always outsmart themselves by drafting someone too high. Every time.

They have so many picks that they are bound to make out alright but they made some goofy ass picks last year.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So when does this board blow up?

When Leafs trade Justin Holl for a 3rd

 

[SnS]

When Leafs trade Justin Holl for a 3rd

I meant the flyers section.

 

[04hockey]

Flyers already have a "suspect" locker room, can't see DeAngelo helping that atmosphere.....but then, WTF do I know

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wanted Byram and we needed Keith heir

It was dumb selection at time and looks far worse

Dach is not a terrible hockey player (He is reasonably good defensively) but he isn't good C and may never work out as a C and a 3rd line winger with limited offensive game is not what a team should walk away with from 3rd overall

As a Hawk fan I am fine with moving Dach at this point as his value may further degrade if Hawks can get something good tonight for him

Sure, he could turn it around and become what we hoped he would be but chances of that seem to be less likely especially after his wrist injury

I meant the flyers section.

Oh, I thought you meant HF crash which is yearly event at big moment

As for you guys' maybe Fletcher actually doesn't do anything drastic and makes good pick and no major trades in coming weeks

Who is consensus that Flyer fans want to see taken at #5?

The issue is, we can’t stand pat. We have to do something. This team is poo poo on a stick.


I don’t want to pick at 5. I want it traded.

I thought you guys a few weeks ago wanted to make pick and not do anything drastic

I thought you guys were all pissed off at the notion Flyers were going to try and go for it with this GM/Coach and roster?
