If you trade for a first rounder but never use it, did you actually get a first rounder?

Edmonton is 6th and climbing btw.

McDavid has 23 pts in his last 12 games and no one really is talking about it because it's just another pay period for him lol

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers have 11 regular forwards scoring at 1.8+ ESP/60, four dmen scoring at 1.17+ ESP/60, and they also have Drysdale putting up 0.4 ESP/60 with a team worst ES GF% of 39.22.

Oh, you’re claiming trading a 34 year-old Giroux on the last month of his contract for Owen Tippett & a 1st rd pick isn’t “moving forward”?

Great point.

It's pretty much just Giroux for Tippett.

That 1st round pick was kicked down the road some more and will probably take the average 3-5 years of "development" to reach the NHL.

So, great point.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Umm…

 

[kudymen]

Ah man this one is more tempting than the 2 GDTs right now..

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Is hockey the only sport where adding mediocre pieces is actually the goal/celebrated?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Umm…

meat n potatos babee..

 

[FlyerNutter]

Developed dmen quite well at NHL level.

I remember when Myers, Hagg, Ghost, and Provorov were the next big thing. Only Sanheim remains of that group.

Sbisa was handled gloriously. Cam York is as vanilla as they come, and they are doing a great job with Andrae.

okay then

I think Charles confuses development with traded for already great Dmen

Great point.

Not really. Very "now" focused for a team going nowhere.

Never mind that York is going in a troubling direction this year as he becomes even safer, which is the last thing he needed.

Thats the recipe for success Charles witnessed and glorifies Focus on minimizing weaknesses and dont develop strenghts. This way you are never mediocre!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This one may be more befuddling than saying the Flyers are good at developing goalies.

The Flyers have barely had any half decent home grown defenseman in my lifetime, let along great ones.

If there’s one thing that they’re absolutely not good at it’s developing defenseman.

 

[FlyerNutter]

These guys couldn’t even develop a boner

Was just looking through the history of drafted Dmen and woof it was not pretty. Watson, Seidenburg, Yuskevich, Niinimaa, Ghost as top 5 drafted? Just taking a stab

But will happily trade everyone who could!

You guys laugh. Imagine what Krug would have looked like here.

Everyone worries about the mythical goalie curse, but the real curse is their horrific scouting and development of dmen. They're incredible at goalies by comparison.

Hell, even their eye for forwards seems to be trending down.

You forgot to mention Morin. That was supposed to be a cup caliber defense.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Who have they developed? Ivan

You forgot to mention Morin. That was supposed to be a cup caliber defense.

That’s development coach Morin to you sir.

 

[freakydallas13]

You forgot to mention Morin. That was supposed to be a cup caliber defense.

I distinctly remember this team trying to develop Morin as a forward, so you must be thinking of someone else.

It's tanked very very hard since Hextall took over and set new priorities. They've been completely broken since then. His scouting and development values are the things the team adored most about him. Still in place unchanged.
