Well truth be told we are going to have a hell of a fun night in next years draft.... mind you with our management group who knows what stupid decisions will be made

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ah yeah such a good record at assessing draft depth. Reeks of Flahr again.


As I've been saying for many years now, nothing will change because they have changed nothing. They have to fire everyone.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Sweet merciful Christ, no. The 2026 20th overall pick is not in the same universe as 32 on the clock. You usually get about a round value discount per year of deferral.

that's a pretty lousy way of thinking. if the 2026 draft is better than this one, and by all accounts this is not a very strong draft, then how on earth is that a worse situation?

Copy that. I don't follow the draft "rules" too much since the Flyers are never picking high enough for me to get excited over anybody. Hopefully Briere is planning to turn the Edmonton pick into a trade piece.

If briere listens to the scouts next year, LOOK OUT!

 

[BigToe]

I'd bet good money the scouts can't name more than 15 2025 guys

 

[Beef Invictus]

A hangup I have is that they've yet to prove they are actually planning anything.

 

[FlyerNutter]

In the past I would sometimes go to the main board, and laugh at the teams that got the worst grades.

I cant bring myself to do it

Tonight hurts

 

[santapore]

So we have one 2nd round pick and no 3rd ?

we do our own 3rd round pick.but no 4th

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Arrogance in the shape of a hockey org. That has never changed and never will. They think they can predict the ~25th best player with a full year of hockey still to play.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Big question for me is Konecny. I can see this all working out in a few years if they don't commit the fatal flaw of re-signing him.

 

[tictactoe]

So we have one 2nd round pick and no 3rd ?

3 2nd round picks assuming CBJ keeps their 2nd in 2024 and we have a 3rd too.

2 5th

 

[Juicy Pop]

3 2nd round picks assuming CBJ keeps their 2nd in 2024 and we have a 3rd too.

They did choose to keep it this year so 3, 3 and 2 for next year at the moment.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Arrogance in the shape of a hockey org. That has never changed and never will. They think they can predict the ~25th best player with a full year of hockey still to play.

If history is to be believed then they have shown that they absolutely can with absolute precision.

Le sigh.

 

[Curufinwe]

very few quality draft choices in 2024 for a rebuilding team

13th on a reach for a center
51st is their only 2nd, and that was a pity pick
77th is the last one before it goes into total crapshoot territory

 

[JojoTheWhale]

that's a pretty lousy way of thinking. if the 2026 draft is better than this one, and by all accounts this is not a very strong draft, then how on earth is that a worse situation?

Forget 2026. There is not one person on earth who can predict what they’re going to think of the 20th best player in next year’s draft today. Not one. It’s not me being smart and them being dumb. The whole point is that no one can possibly know that. They don’t understand their own limits.

 

[bennysflyers16]

1st
2nd
3rd
No 4th

Getting 3 guys in first 3 rounds is a failure

 

[freakydallas13]

that's a pretty lousy way of thinking. if the 2026 draft is better than this one, and by all accounts this is not a very strong draft, then how on earth is that a worse situation?

It's kind of like "Hey lend me $100 today, and I'll pay you back in 2 years. Maybe I'll even pay you back $105 for your troubles."

Would you take that deal? You shouldn't.

 

[Curufinwe]

Net Present Value

 

[BigToe]

Woke up thinking we had a chance at Demidov or Catton. Going to sleep with Luchanko.

They wont make that pick though. No way in hell.

He's going to use it to trade for a roster piece when they feel they are closer to being a playoff team.

Its sick, but I'd bet good money that's the thinking.

 

[sauce88]

Bad draft day, followed by a 24-25 season of bottoming out even with Michkov.

 

[Juicy Pop]

It's kind of like "Hey lend me $100 today, and I'll pay you back in 2 years. Maybe I'll even pay you back $105 for your troubles."

The way this league works though, there is incentive to fail. If he's actually building future capital and is going to deal TK, among others, then I'm actually pretty satisfied.

 

[GKJ]

If they were 'aggressively trying to move up' why didn't they just trade all of their picks since they hate this draft so much

 

[bennysflyers16]

What’s the grade , D - ?
