Not quite, but the next goal wins...
Well, after a 5 minute shift by Bonk, Dickenson goes through the whole team and Cowan makes it 3-2... 12 minutes left.
Dickenson ties it with 9:44 left. Sam D has been dominant, Hedman-like, and Bonk has been a stalwart. Skating miles, checking everything, moving the puck. Kid has great composure. Barkey hadn't done much but he had a couple nice passes out of board battles in his last shift. Dionicio from Saginaw is a great dman, for the Ducks...
Saginaw scores with 22 secs left. Congrats on making it back.

Toeseph clearly hasn’t watched London this year.
A top pairing of Dickinson-Bonk is something I would move some chips in for. Suck this year, and scoop up Hagens/Misa next year to fill in our biggest gap.

Missing Hunter McDonald.
He got another public shoutout. I feel like they are trolling at this point.

gotta think if Michkov isn't on that list, it's 25 or lower

I’d probably rank it higher just on the pure fact that Michkov has a legit ceiling of being an higher end impact player with better than normal odds of that conveying.
But other than that yeah it’s not really pretty. You’ve amassed a pretty good amount of lottery tickets in goal for hopefully something to stick. The forward & defense pool as a whole aren’t very good right now. But they do have a lot of picks for this year’s draft so we’ll see after that.

The Flyers prospect group will probably be very deep after next year’s draft plus there are some young players who already graduated that have some good potential. We just have to have patience and hope. Honestly I don’t think it would be a good idea if Michkov came over next season. I’d like one more year of potentially getting a lottery pick before trying to form something out of what we got
My guess is we're in the 7-10 range at worst after this draft. I think we did pretty good at minimum with those core 3 picks last year. Gave me a little hope.

Unless Briere goes crazy, after next year’s draft we should have a prospect group of Michkov, Bonk, #12, #31 or 32, the O’Brien 2nd, the CLB 2nd, 2025 1st, 2025 COL 1st, 2025 2nd plus whoever emerges from the lower rounds. That group will probably be ranked high. A TK or Laughton trade could add to that group. There are some good young guys with potential already on the team like Brink, York, Drysdale, Foerster, etc. The Cutter loss hurts the prospect ranking since we got a young NHL back but Cutter was never going to play for us so it’s best to move on. The future will show what type of player Drysdale is and maybe we’ll find out other offers on the table but it sounds like we weren’t getting a stud prospect back despite Cutter being ranked high as a prospect
Holmgren emptied the prospect pool going for it. He got close but failed. We then dealt with 2 terrible GM’s who set this team far back. Just like Drysdale, the future will show if Briere gets the team back to contender status. So far he’s made me more optimistic than not. It was always going to take a few years or so to right the ship

Year 2 since they traded their 5th overall pick from 3 drafts ago already.

He wasn’t going to sign. I guess they could have played hard ball but pretty sure everyone here would rake the Flyers over the coals if he left and Flyers got nothing in return

A kid that wanted guarantees to play in the NHL as a 19 year old was not going to wait the four years to be a free agent.
Agree 1000% .... Briere and Jones inexperience cost us a potential 1c.... brutal....

Hardball looks like the right choice here. The assumption was Cutters value had peaked or word would get out and you’d lose your position. The later may be true but I could also see fan bases putting a lot of pressure to acquire cutter. The former I think is not true.
It would have been best to hold onto him and trade him at this draft imo.

Getting Drysdale in when they did was supposed to help the playoff push.
