Got it, thanksTied Mario for most assists as a.
This loss is only good if it eventually leads to a restructuring of the whole org top to bottom. Otherwise it's just more cutter Gauthier is the 5OA pick
I don't pay attention to anything Keith Jones eats. He's only there to sell to STH's.The Flyers now have a Goal Differential worse than Buffalo, Chicago, Anaheim, and Montreal.
Unethical non-competitive team. I heard a rumor Keith Jones was spotted eating a Karl Marx book too. There is no bottom.
The coaching ineptitude was glaring the previous game against Columbus too.
Cutter Gautier at 5OA is better than what they got.Tied Mario for most assists as a

This team could have Michkov, Gauthier and Buium as the beginning of building a young core. Instead they have Michkov, Drysdale and Luchanko
It shows every night. Today's game is lost on Tortorella. He doesn't understand how to play in it. Constantly juggling lines, benching guys, demotions and so forth are indications of a coach grasping at straws to find a way to compete.
Yay crappy high draft pick traded for even crappier high draft pick. what a win?
Good point. Which wing is Gauthier pushing out of the lineup? Tippett, Farabee, Foerster, MM, TK, Brink? Maybe Laughton but he has the coach's blessing to play. Most likely if the club had Gauthier under contract, he'd by like Lycksell- up and down from LV.
Yep, the Flyers lineup is just too good. Pretty much every year the Flyers leave little room for younger players to make the lineup. They have to have their veteran security blankets like Seeler and Hathaway
No, that's not what a rebuilding team looks like. Rebuilding teams look like SJ and Chicago. With multiple high end potential elite prospects and the ability to potentially add more high end elite talent in the next draft. Those teams have already surpassed the Flyers in potential in their rebuilds with Anaheim and Columbus to follow. Meanwhile the Flyers will be escalating relatively soon when their cap clears up. Only to continue in the endless circle of failures that they've been stuck in. There is no legitimate path in view for the Flyers to reach legitimate cup contention
It is ridiculously premature to state that Gauthier for Drysdale and a 2nd is a wash. The Flyers were never likely going to win that trade. This coaching staff couldn't develop a photo.
I have a friend who is a scout for Edmonton and i asked him if anyone else had Jett in their top 15 and he absolutely said no.
Even your list made my point. Thank you.Scout's Analysis: On Jett Luchanko, the Flyers' surprising rookie
While Matvei Michkov is the Philadelphia Flyers rookie getting all the attention, Jett Luchanko also cracked the lineup out of camp after being selected 13th overall this past summer. Jason Bukala gives a scouting report on the player and what makes him so special.www.sportsnet.ca
However, TSN’s Director of Scouting and former NHL GM Craig Button had him as the 18th best prospect in his final rankings, and his colleague at TSN Bob McKenzie had him at No. 19.
As per Bob McKenzie via his final rankings list, it sounds like Luchanko’s name has generated a lot of buzz within the last week. Several scouts have told him that they feel he’s picking up momentum and it sounds like he could go higher on Day 1 of the draft than many originally thought.
I’m just assuming that Torts is deliberately trying to sabotage his point totals. Can’t have that kid winning an award or anything, might get cocky. Or worse yet, steal the narrative. It’s not about protecting the youth, it’s about protecting a dead legacy.
They aren't getting a top pick this year. They are already pretty firmly entrenched around 8-12th OA. NHL standings barely move after Christmas.
Double counting Johnson, and Seeler was their own player who they developed.
It's all projection at this point and every team and every scout sees it different. What stands out to me is his potential of a 2C. Why draft that player when a player with 1D potential is there? The Flyers need a future 1C and 1D. Maybe Luchanko exceeds an becomes a 1C but how likely is that?
He isn't a 1C. This was always them being the smartest people in the room. I don't doubt for a second that Jett is going to be a serviceable to good NHL player. I'm sure he's going to be a better Laughton. But that's about where it ends. A better Laughton is still a very good hockey player.
