Makes you think how much of what Inge Hammarström said in terms of leaving Flyers due to philosophical difference is still embedded...

Know he is retired now and seemingly got very few high picks with either Canucks or Flyers over the last 15 years of his scouting career...

But noteworthy that 2 of the last 3 picks from his area over career were Elias Pettersson and Gustav Forsling!

Over the years the Flyers have consistently favored NA draft prospects over Euros/Russians compared to other franchises. Even when great ones fell into their laps they went for grit over skill. That they jumped on Michkov stunned me at the time. Perhaps this will open the door to a different philosophy on drafting but I doubt it.

So a long with Michkov we could have had Perreault and Buium. That's the way to kick off a rebuild.

The most recent draft says otherwise.

What about Perrault?

I would have gone fwd over D. But at the time I had Musty just ahead of Perreault tbh so he would have probably been the pick if up to me and me alone.

I would trust the Philadelphia Flyers scouting department with my life.

Translation: the Flyers FO would mess up even a simple killing of a fan.

Brian Zanetti scored the OT winner in playoff game 2 for his 8th placed SCL Tigers vs 1st placed Lausanne HC. Series now tied 1-1.

Not sure if the Flyers have any plans of signing him at all but in my humble view he's one of the best defensemen in the NL. He's underrated because he doesn't get PP-time and is playing for a defensive minded team but he's actually been excellent and has played heavy minutes all season. Don't know about his NHL upside but he does have decent size while being a very good skater. Flyers have to sign by the summer if they wanna keep his rights.

No one needs that on the big club. PPs are overrated
