Yeah this organization really does a terrible job developing their homegrown talent.In 2018, The Sporting News ranked the Flyers with the 2nd best prospect group in the NHL.
The top 10 list:
1. Joel Farabee
2. Carter Hart
3. Phil Myers
4. Morgan Frost
5. Oskar Lindblom
6. German Rubtsov
7. Jay O'Brien
8. Mike Vecchione
9. Isaac Ratcliffe
10. Wade Allison
I mean, talk about "woof." And to think a publication thought at that time it was the 2nd best prospect group in the league?
Agree as those guys went on to great NHL careersYeah this organization really does a terrible job developing their homegrown talent.

I went with Tuomaala because he has the most vowels in his last name.
Tbf they treat him like a prospect even though he's better than risto and ej, and should have been in the lineup full time last seasonAttard is 25 years old. Not really a prospect anymore.
He's the same age as Poehling, for example.
Why aren't you in the Flahr's scouting team yet?I went with Tuomaala because he has the most vowels in his last name.
It's mind-blowing that of the Flyers' top-10 list of prospects in 2018, which the Sporting News ranked 2nd in the NHL, only 2 players may be NHL regulars in 2024 -- and that's Farabee and Frost.One had their development derailed by injury, one by cancer, and another by being a rapist… and didn’t Rubstov have a bunch of injuries too? This is all a good lesson on why your prospect pool shouldn’t be one player deep.
That’s as good a reason as any
You got me, Jon-Randall Avon is a college basketball player and Brian Zanetti is an Italian plummer.I'm not ruling out the possibility that you just made up two of the names in the poll.
i don’t think you’re lower than him than most. I am higher on him than most, but it’s more about potential upside. If I had to guess, he’s likely just a good AHL/European player, but I think he’s the one on the list who is the most realistic ‘top 6’ contributor.I’m obviously lower on Rizzo than most.
Hey, I liked the acquisition as a wild card. But I don’t really see it as far as him having an NHL career.
Don’t have a problem with Tuomaala here. I went McDonald, but it was between them. I think I go Ciernek third. Then it’s a free for all.
Brian Zanetti is an Italian plummer.
